This was our first dining experience in Myrtle Beach, and I have never been so upset eating at a restaurant before. I'm posting this on every review platform I can because no one should waste their money here. And yes, I feel some type of way saying this about a Black-owned business, but if the business sucks, it sucks--and this place absolutely sucked. Red Flags from the Start * The restaurant isn't even listed with the other shops--just a tiny sign by the elevator. * We arrived at our table and it was dirty. * Our server never introduced herself. * It took 15 minutes to get two waters and one cocktail--even though the restaurant wasn't busy. Drinks Disaster I ordered "The Blacker the Berry" cocktail. I saw photos on Yelp--it's supposed to be dark with a lemon and blackberry. The drink I got was light, no garnish. Another couple came after us and received the correct version immediately. Only after I complained did another server fix it with a lemon--but still the wrong color. Food & Service Failures * It took over 30 minutes just to place our food order because our server disappeared. * Food finally arrived after 20 more minutes--cold, except the shrimp. * Guests who arrived 20-40 minutes after us got their meals before we did. * When asked by the server how everything was I mentioned the above. She asked if I wanted the manager. I said no--I was over it--but she brought him anyway. When he came over, I flatly told him, "No, we're good, thanks." He asked again, and I repeated, "NO, WE ARE GOOD, THANKS." That was the moment that pushed me from frustrated to downright pissed off. Other Problems * Water leaking from the ceiling at the entrance. * Food was bland and ridiculously overpriced. * Automatic 10% gratuity added without our server even mentioning it--I only overheard another table's checkout. * Final bill: $113 for one of the worst meals of my life. The Bottom Line This restaurant completely ruined what was supposed to be a special first-night birthday dinner for my fiancée. I have never left a restaurant so annoyed, upset, and frustrated. Not even on my worst day would I ever return, and I strongly warn others not to waste their time or money here. read more

Last minute getaway trip with my bestie after New Years to Myrtle Beach simply because it was a good midway point for both of us. Brisk weather with a little drizzle so we didn't want to venture far from the hotel to grab a late lunch. Did a yelp search and up pops Flavor Hills! 200 feet from Hilton Ocean Enclave. Super excited because I've eaten at the one in Durham and it was fabulous. This one has a great location. Spacious. Two separate dining areas plus a heated and covered balcony with seating where you can not only see the ocean but almost taste the salt. Of course it's January so we were cozy inside. Beautiful decor. Full bar inside as well as one outside. Seating for large groups as well as smaller parties. Being the off season we were one of a few tables occupied and service was good. Beautiful artwork on the walls. Gender specified restrooms. Women's restroom had a baby changer and 4 stalls. Very clean. Nice size menu not overwhelming at all. Items were familiar but with unique twists. We were in heaven with the sweet potato cornbread. Appetizer but definitely shareable by 4. If you eat mostly plant based like me not a ton of options but good seafood options for the pescatarians out there. A little disappoint that the bang bang shrimp came with just 4 shrimp for $14. Presentation wonderful though, fresh and delicious. Shrimp and grits delicious. The dessert options are not your typical options. We decided on the peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream. Phenomenal. I'm not even a vanilla ice cream person and even it was delicious! What I love about Flavor Hills is that you will always find items on their menu that you're not going to get everywhere. As common as peach cobbler is I've never tasted it like this. The brunch menu was served until 3 so unfortunately there were items on the dinner menu we wanted to try but couldn't. Note: 18 percent gratuity added to all checks. It's posted on the door coming in so there's full transparency. Also helpful to know it is on the second level but there is an elevator. Black owned restaurant. Check them out! read more

We had 2 dinners- great cheese burger with fried green tomatoes and a Bayou Bay catfish dinner with grilled asparagus and rice. Great desserts, special drinks, perfect for a group or birthday party. We had no room for the peach pie dessert or the Sweet Potato Cornbread... Crab, Salmon and more! Big special drinks menu. Solution? We will Come back again!

We made a group reservation and was told told 15minutes. When we all arrived we were told it would be an additional 30-55 minutes. We weren't offered refills on our waters. The service at the bar was good and the table service was great. Our server was Tia and she was excellent! When our food was brought to us it was warm. The atmosphere was lovely. The view of the ocean was the best part. The artwork in the facility is nice as well. read more

Going to Flavor Hills was a last minute decision and I am so glad we chose this location. I loved the artwork displayed within Flavor Hills. We chose to sit outside and soak up the sun and take in the views. We ordered mimosa flights, lemon pepper wings, soul rolls, and crab&collard dip. Those lemon pepper wings were fried and seasoned just the way I like ! Definitely a 10/10! The soul rolls were filled with yams, collards, and Mac n cheese! The crab and collard dip was tasty! read more

Ok, so they have a location in Raleigh that I have yet to try mainly due to bad reviews from people I know that have dined there. Reviews are mixed for the MB location as well but we decided to give it a try. After reviewing the menu we kind of had an idea of what we wanted to try. I was trying to make reservations online however it kept saying no reservations available within 2 hours of my selection. Which was strange bc I even moved the reservation time to almost 9pm and still received the same message. So, I decided to call in advance to see how long the wait was. The hostess said at the moment there wasn't a wait (strange again bc why it didn't let me make reservations) but she couldn't promise again by time we arrive. We arrived around 7:40pm and there wasn't a wait but the guy told us since we didn't have a reservation we would have to sit at the area across from the bar. It's not a bad area it's just the table is small bc it runs along the back of the restaurant, beautiful view of the pier though. Our server was very sweet and knowledgeable. She let us know up front it would be a wait bc the kitchen was behind so be patient. We understood but also expected hot and fresh food, which it didn't disappoint. We were actually full on appetizers and decided to share an entree, which we ended up taking all of it in a carry out. We ordered the soul rolls, crab & collard dip and rattlesnake pasta with shrimp. We can say we tried it, no promises if it's a go to every time we're in MB but it was nice to say we tried it. read more

Absolutely amazing. Flavor is a great name for the culinary experience We started with the crab and collards dip. The burger I had was incredible with a fried tomato and bacon jam. The wife had Mahi Mahi and scallops. The drinks were also awesome. I had an old fashioned. The wife had a pomegranate margarita. read more

I'm always on the lookout for local places. Loved the location. The space has a nice bright vibe. Our server was very sweet and gave us some good recommendations. The fried green tomatoes with crab on top were delicious. Main dish was fried chicken with mac and cheese and greens. The mac was pretty good but the greens were mushy and overcooked. I don't recommend those. read more

We arrived at a dead restaurant and we were told it had a 25 minute wait. We decided to wait it out. It took another 20 minutes after our wait to get service. Our server was very kind. We waited over an hour for our food. The food was mid. I would say if you have the time and you don't mind waiting for for it. The restaurant does have an ocean view, which is nice but only if you sit near the bar. read more

It's slow season at Myrtle beach which made this the perfect time to go eat out and we chose Flavor Hills. I loved the food it was more of a Cajun soul food vibe . I ordered the fried chicken breast I think it was honey heat and it came with collards I replaced yams with Mac n cheese. My guy loved his fried cat fish as well the grits taste really good it had a gravy on top. I also had a jalapeño peach margarita that was really good. Overall we would def one ba k the views and food were a 10 . The collard crab dip was 10/10 as well try it! read more

Things to know. Customer service not the best, please check your itemized bill on the screen before paying, automatic 18% gratuity applied to every order. Upon entry we were not greeted or seated. Over 10-15 minutes to be be greeted or seated. No one spoke just looked and kept doing what they were doing. The restaurant is extremely dark with not really eye catching aesthetics but outside has a nice photo/grass wall. Customer service was better once we were seated. I do feel like substitution of sides is overpriced and the portion to price ratio is not good on the appetizers. You get 4 bang bang shrimp, 3 green tomatoes or 6 small wings and they are overpriced. I ordered the hot honey chicken sandwich which was phenomenal and fair in price if you stick with fries but I asked to substitute the fries for Mac and the waiter said it would be $4 extra got my bill I asked to look at the itemization and it was $7 extra to sub to Mac and cheese and the portion wasn't even a full spoon full (it was stove top Mac and the baked a little cheese on top. It was average). We also got the burger which was tasty and the fries were good. We would give them another try. The appetizers were good just over priced. The crab and collard dip was good but did taste smoked/burnt so if you don't like a smoked taste don't get it. read more

This place came highly recommended. I was not super hungry so I opted for a salad. I ordered the jerk chicken salad. The waitress brought me the buffalo fried chicken salad instead and I tasted it and it was really good. However, I was really craving jerk chicken. The salad was decent. It comes with a mango salsa and the jerk chicken is grilled. The greens were fresh. I low-key wish I had kept the other salad. I also ordered a side car, which was great. The ambience is very nice. The inside is surrounded by glass windows and the restaurant is beachside. We sat inside, but the outside seating would definitely be a vibe at night. I would definitely go again to try some other items on their menu. The others in my party ordered the waffles, which I sampled and it was really good. Our waitress was okay. The door leading to the outside seating area slams very loud. Hopefully they will be getting that fixed because it is quite disturbing. read more

You could definitely taste the smoke, they were seasoned to perfection and cook to perfection as well- succulent, succulent, and juicy with a nice pull off the bone.

Our family dinner here on New Year's Day started off a little wonky. We had reservations for 7:15pm. We arrived at 7:28pm. By the time we arrived at the host stand we were told that our reservation was cancelled due to their "15 min" grace period. I live in Miami, I totally get the cancellation policy for lateness, etc. But the reservation was cancelled BEFORE the grace period. I pointed this oit to the host, and the owner came over and was able to accommodate us. It was clear the host was maybe overwhelmed, and precanceling reservations. Which is kinda cringe. She did later apologize and admit she cancelled our reservation earlier thinking we were not coming. They had a party of 35 that evening or something? I don't know. Still not the best way to go about things. But she did take accountability and apologized. So anyways the most important part, and the reason you're reading. The food. We stared off with the salmon bites, shrimp, and collard/crab dip to start. The appetizers came out very quickly. And salmon bites were a bit over salted but still good. The shrimp was perfect. And the dip was good too just a little too cheesy for my liking. But over all, I would rate the apps 4.5/5 Now the dinner. I got the bayou catfish and a side of sweet potato cornbread. Overall I would come back. I'm impressed by the location and was thrilled by the fact that it is black owned. As far as I know, there are not a lot of them in Myrtle beach. I grew up in here, so seeing the city grow with black owned businesses has been a pleasure to watch. I hope everyone takes time to try out Flavor Hills. read more

Flavor Hills was our 1st stop once we arrived in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I had no background knowledge of the place as my friend chose it. I was pleasantly impressed by the ambiance. The music was bumping, the decor was lovely and the view of the beach was amazing! If only it wasn't so windy. I looked around and imagined what it might look like full throttle. At the check in desk I looked at my friend and said, great choice so far, let's see if the food meets the mark. Our waitress was super friendly and made us feel welcome. Portions are large...We ordered waaaay too much food but everything was very tasty. Yummy! read more

This was a friends selection and it was far from meeting my expectations. After a 1 hour wait our spot on the waiting list was handed to another group and only free a brief complaint we were seated . The waiter tried to be as accommodating as he could however the meal readiness time made that extremely difficult to do . Now down to the mean . 1 of 4 meals were correct , the ran out of the meals for 1 selection. The collards were extra too spicy The flavor and the meal taste was average at best . Now we are 3 hours into a dinner and the bills come . The drinks were $42 over the amount that we drank . The manager came over and corrected everything and the waiter was very nice with comp ing one of the meals . I try to support our people however this place does not have my recommendations . To add insult to injury, while trying to get our order and bill current we overstayed our paid parking and by vehicle was booted to a tune of $125 to get released !!! I can say this will be my last time eating here !!!!!! Recommendation to Flavor Hill : Put a large sign inside your establishment that says: "WARNING IF YOU PARKED IS A PAY PARKING LOCATION YOUR VEHICLE WILL BE TICKETED , TOWED , BOOTED, and /or FINDED FOR $125 OR MORE IF YOU DONT PAY OR GO OVER YOUR PARKING TIME " You should make it a point to warn your customers also . read more

Flavor Hills - Salmon over rice and spicy collards ? - Southern Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

This was the best food I had in Myrtle Beach, by far -- (although, sadly, most of the food in Myrtle Beach was terrible). Thankfully we got there early. We had a small wait while the staff cleared a recently vacated table, but we sat outside despite the heat. I watched one of the cleaning staff take his time really cleaning the table and I thought his attention to detail would reflect the quality of the food. And it did! The food was very good, though a little spicy. The collard greens have a kick. I ordered some chicken with maybe grits, and a mango salsa?? I don't remember exactly but I ate it all. I also ordered a cocktail which the server recommended and it was also very good, but not too strong. Not all the food came out together but overall it was a good experience. Music was good too. I highly recommend this restaurant if you have the opportunity to go, this is an excellent choice and you won't be disappointed, unless you hate spicy food. The only thing I would say is they maybe didn't have enough straight options, like not to spicy/over-spiced menu options. I gave them 4 stars because while the food was good, the bathroom was neglected. So, they seemed a little not on the ball in terms of prep. read more

What started off as a questionable visit ended very well. It actually started off really well if I could be honest, our waitress was very polite and I wish I did catch her name, but I didn't. She was very attentive to a request and had a pleasant demeanor. Just a heads up they do automatically at 18% to each check however we still took our waitress in addition to that. However, to each their own. It's a very nice spot very clean and I'm gonna assume the bathrooms are nice too because the rest of my party got to use them even though I didn't and I didn't hear any complaints. The food was good, however to be honest, it did take over an hour of us being there before our food came out, I did ask to speak to the manager about it, and she was very attentive to my concerns and was very accepting of my constructive criticism. I would definitely come here and eat again and I'm looking forward to trying other dishes that they have on the menu. Today I had the catfish and it was very good. I'm actually still full as I'm typing this. For a Saturday I felt like they were a little understaffed, but it also wasn't very busy when we came in however, I think that this place has a lot of potential and they can really do great things. I'm sure they're really busy during the tourist season. read more

The food was not good... I was so excited to try this place on vacation and their "shrimp scampi" tasted horrible. I actually tasted a noodle and sent my plate back. My friend had gotten a fried chicken salad and the salad was not good. The only thing I enjoyed was the water , that tasted great. I also ordered appetizers which were okay, the bang bang shrimp sauce wasn't really good but the shrimp was yummy. The crab dip was okay could've been better seasoned. I don't know I'm naming this place the flavorless hill from now on, probably won't refer anyone to it! I honestly should've read the tiktok reviews I could've saved me $100.

Good service and basic customer care seem to be completely missing here. Common sense is clearly not a priority. I honestly don't understand how this place is still in business.

We really enjoyed this place! The views & drinks were great, the ambiance was a vibe and the food was fantastic. We ordered apps for the table; soul rolls, fried green tomatoes & the crab and collards dip. We were so thrilled with everything! Will definitely be back! However, we understand this does not fall on the restaurant but it does affect the experience-- the public parking across the street is paid parking and if you are even a minute late you will be booted. We were booted within a couple of minutes of our expiration with a price tag of $125.00. Being locals, most of our public parking becomes free during the off season, but not here. This definitely put a damper on our afternoon at Flavor Hills but again, this is not the restaurant's fault. Unfortunately, it's the only close parking option for dining, so please be aware of your parking expiration time if utilizing the public lot directly across from the building. read more

Don't judge a book by it's cover... We have spent the past week in Myrtle Beach and were looking for a place to celebrate my wife's birthday. Looking for something we could get a little dressed up for, and something that featured local cuisine, rather than the typical beach fare. On first glance the entrance is somewhat sketchy in a run down building that was mostly vacant. On entering the space we were immediately concerned we had made the wrong choice. The vibe was very different than expected - the tables and chairs looked like cheap outdoor furniture brought indoors. The music was loud and the space was very echo-y, so it was hard to have a conversation. We were seated at a low table around the back by the kitchen door, even though there weren't that many people there. We were seated by a very friendly host, and our server was super nice. Unfortunately when we tried to order we found a number of items on the menu we not available - including the chef's special menu selections, and they didn't get their beer delivery (?) So they had a very limited beer selection. We tried to look past all of these things and ordered our meal hoping the food would improve our mood. We opted for the cajun shrimp & grits, the catfish & grits, a 2 orders of the sweet heat plates. When the food arrived... WOW, complete transformation. It was elegantly presented, and was unbelieveably delicious. Everyone at the table loved their selections. A small ding to service and atmosphere, after we were done the bus-boy rolled his cart to the table (full of everyone else's dirty dishes and unfinished food) and loaded our stuff in there too. This was somewhat emblematic of the whole package - high priced, delicious food that deserved a better setting. If you're in the mood for very casual dining, delicious food, are ok with the price, this place is a great choice. If you're looking for a quieter, slightly mid to high-end experience, this isn't the spot. If we could have picked up this menu and the kitchen and put it in a different venue it would be a killer spot. read more

The place is a must try in Myrtle Beach! I read a lot of reviews about the reservations. It was explained they limit them because of limited staff and the desire to provide excellent service. We can be a tough crowd, particularly on black businesses. We tried to make a reservation online but it said there were none. We then called to make a reservation for 2 ppl & was told they didnt have any reservations however we could come in person to be put on the waiting which was 1 hour. My wife really wanted to go so we did. Needless to say 20 min later we walked in & were seated within a few minutes. We loved it!

Best thing was the grits the food was not good to me at all. I usually stay away from tourist area food spots which i should of listen to my intuition. The pork chops were very salty.
