I've really wanted to keep supporting Flavor Rich because when they're on, the food can be great. Unfortunately, my last few orders have been very inconsistent. The fried shrimp had a noticeable old oil taste, which made them hard to enjoy. The waffles were also overcooked, and you could definitely taste the burnt flavor. It seems like quality control has been slipping, and it's honestly become a hit-or-miss experience every time I order. I hope the restaurant can get back to the quality that made me order from them in the first place, because right now the inconsistency makes it difficult to recommend.
Read all the positive Yelp reviews, so I had to check out Flavor Rich while driving through the area. The drive from Atlanta was about 1 hour because of some traffic. Once at the restaurant, the wait for a table was about 30 minutes. I ordered the Banana Foster French Toast. Do not underestimate the portion of the dish. It was HUGE with a lot of caramelized bananas and strawberries topped on the French toast. It was extremely sweet (and delicious).
My family and I visited this location for the first time while we were in the area on Saturday, May 9 around noon. We decided to join their waitlist online, which was a great choice--it significantly shortened our wait time, and we appreciated receiving a text when our table was ready so we could head right in. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, so I definitely recommend joining the waitlist or making reservations ahead of time if possible. I've heard they also have another location in Atlanta, Georgia, where parking is required and they offer specialty lemonades. The vibe here was really nice--great music, friendly staff, and beautiful decor. We especially loved the thoughtful touch of flowers on the tables in honor of Mother's Day. Our waitress was kind, knowledgeable, and took the time to walk us through the menu, including specialty items and pricing. For food, we ordered the shrimp and waffles, chicken tenders with waffles, and the catfish plate, which comes with two sides--we chose potatoes and eggs. Everything was delicious and well-prepared. We also tried their lemonades, which come in a variety of flavors like strawberry, pineapple, and blueberry, and they are refillable. The only downside for us was that they only offer bottled water--we would have preferred the option of having a regular cup of ice water at the table. Overall, we had a great experience. The food was flavorful, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was very enjoyable. Pricing is around $20+ per person. I just wish they had a location like this in Arizona!
We used to absolutely love this place. Soo much so that we earned a free Chicken and Waffles through the Toast app. Came into restaurant to try to redeem the offer and was told I could not because they no longer have Toast. I showed them the active reward in the app and they could not justify why it is still open and active. I would have gone somewhere else had I known this prior. I was also unable to redeem online
We have been waiting to try Flavor Rich for some time now, and it was worth the wait. We were fortunate to go on a weekday and were seated immediately. Our server was friendly and helpful. We ordered the classic chicken and waffles and the breakfast plate with cheese grits and cheese eggs. The food was DELICIOUS, and portion sizes were generous. It's rare for everything to taste amazing, and all of it did! We will definitely be back!
Wow! My husband and I are visiting from NJ. Looked up brunch and found this spot. 12:30 on a Friday. No wait. Food came out fast and was sooo good! I ordered the Banana foster french toast 10/10 Fried shrimp on the side were delish. My hubby ordered the red velvet waffles with shrimp. We ordered a side of chicken tenders as well. Fried to perfection Ill definitely be back! Oh the passion fruit lemonade was amazing. Victoria was our server. She was friendly and attentive.
The food presentation was great, the flavor of the Banana French toast was perfect I would like to have had a little more Cajun on the fish and grits. Definitely get the passion fruit lemonade. Silvia and Crissy were so personable and attentive. I would come back just because of these two! There is also a good vibe, music and the entire experience. It also helped that they play the reggae version of Happy Birthday. We will be back for Sunday Caribbean flavor. They stay busy and crowded, but they keep people moving. Food was served quickly.
Absolutely delicious! I spent the week in Atlanta and had brunch several time. This was hands down the best! I cleaned my plate of waffles. Waffles were amazing and the topping is unbelievable- no syrup needed. Chicken was good too! Great service.
-1 hour and 20 minutes wait on wait list (and we think the hostess forgot about us) -30 minutes to wait for food after seated -some elements forgotten on food This was my first time at the suwanee location. Showed up at 11am on Sunday for a birthday brunch. The hostess said there was a wait but could not give us an estimate. We got on their wait list which was on the toast app and texted to us. We sat in the car and waited as people shuffled in and out of the door. There were 7 tables ahead of us according to the app. We waited 1 hour and 20 minutes. We noticed so many people were doing take out orders. We went inside to inquire about the remaining wait time to consider take out instead. When we asked the same hostess who put us down on the wait list, she seemed alarmed when I gave her my name and was like "oh you're (my name)". We asked if we missed something for the wait list and she said no. A table was leaving and she said we could have that one and this was when the wait list said there were 2 tables ahead of us left. My group felt that she may have skipped us or forgotten about us based on her reaction. Our server was very nice. We waited another 30 minutes for food after being seated. My sis wanted to go here for her birthday because of the brunch vibes and mimosas. This was a part of the reason why we just waited the long wait. Turns out this suwanee location does not serve alcohol. :( Food: The shrimp and grits and fish ($25) and grits were pretty good, but I was surprised by how many onions were inside. I have never seen so many onions in grits before. It was in every bite. There were a lot of half cut bulbs of small onions in my grits (as pictured). I also felt that the presentation for the fish and grits was really messy and rushed. The fish and grits ($26) did not have that many onions in comparison. They also asked if we wanted cheese on our grits. We both said yes and it turned out there was a dollar charge added to our receipt for each one. I noticed mine didn't have cheese once I looked back at my photos, but my sister's did based on the color and taste. Hers was yellow on top and more savory. Mine was plainer and white, so I think they forgot my cheese. The shrimp was blackened and seasoned well though. The salmon was also a little dry and didn't pair as well with shrimp since it wasn't crunchy according to my sis. The chicken and biscuit ($18) had a lightly fried and crispy chicken that was very good. However, there was very little gravy just on the bottom of the plate, which was different from the photos where it was covered with gravy sauce on top. It made the dish a bit dry without more gravy. The side of potatoes for $5 was incredibly bland and plain. We barely touched them. The server automatically gave us 10% off our check because our food "took a while to come out" when we did not say anything to them. I wondered if its because they really did forget to seat us from the wait list. The food was pretty good outside of the lack of gravy on the chicken and bland potato side. But the wait time and overall experience to actually dine really took away from the overall experience. The seating is pretty limited to 2 seat tables and bigger groups would take up conjoined tables, which I believe is why the wait was so long. I think we would have had better luck with timing to going our food as so many people were picking up to go orders. The hostess also kept coming to our table to take the menu qr sign and would say sorry and interrupt our meal and then bring it back to interrupt again. She did this twice. The strange thing was that every table had one and we were seated furthest from where she was standing at the front door. I didn't understand why she couldn't have taken it from a closer table or why they didn't have a copy up front. It was disruptive. Overall, the potential for all of our dishes to be really good was definitely there. Some stuff was forgotten on our plates and the long wait really took away from the experience unfortunately.
We weren't sure about the place at the end of the shopping strip but man are we so glad we stopped in. We were seated quickly (right after Sunday church no less). I was concerned about the fried fish and chicken cross contamination since I have a seafood allergy but was accommodated by being told they re indeed fried separately and since k have an allergy, extra care would be taken. I ordered the chicken and waffles and hubby orders the simple breakfast switching out the grits for potatoes. The food was not only beautifully presented but amazingly rich in flavor. Hubby even says it may have been the breakfast we have had since moving to GA in October. We will be back!!!
It's been moons since I've eaten from here (5-years to be exact -- It was 2020, COVID, carry-out only and I was preggo)... I remember the food being tasty then and it still rings true today. I decided to revisit it and dine in for a sister-friend meet-up. It didn't disappoint. So let's get into it -- Food: Bomb (overall). I had the salmon blt with a side of greens instead of fries (they aren't fresh cut, and we all know I love fresh-cut fries). Back to the review -- greens were the reason for the "4" stars -- they were tasty but a tad bit too salty. Salmon was perfectly cooked and nicely seasoned. I also had a side of grilled shrimp. Delicious! Take a look at the pics... Service - our server was lovely. I wish I could recall her name (it's me, not her -- I'm the problem lol). She was attentive but not overly stalker-ish. Ambiance -- the spot is quaint and hella small so this is perfect for small families and dates. Wall art was my fav (I love music). Playlist was a W (win). Note - The clientele was diverse (warmed my Cali-girl heart). I will be back to try more of the other menu options.

Visited on 9/22. Met up with a college friend here for brunch after she saw this place on TikTok. Food content looked decent online, but we didn't realize they don't serve liquor at all. After a long week I really wanted a drink. I ordered a coffee and it came out in a black mug with visible dust/lint all around the rim. I pointed it out to the waitress and she took it back, then came back and said "oh the dust is from the rags we use to dry them" like that was supposed to make it better. I sent it back completely. I ordered the Fruity Pebble French Toast and my friend ordered the steak and eggs. My food came out a full 15 minutes before hers. It was a Tuesday around 1pm and not even busy, so it was super awkward to just pick at my food while she waited. When her food finally came, it wasn't right either. She ordered her steak well done and it definitely was not well done. Our waitress mentioned it was her third day, and you could tell. Overall slow service, cleanliness issue, and food timing was way off. Wouldn't recommend. read more

Food, service and ambience were all 5 star I recommend you try the fish and grits with blackened salmon. The flavors were such a treat to my palate. read more
This place definitely lived up to the hype! I was pleasantly surprised at coming to Flavor Rich in Lawrenceville. They do offer the common food fair for brunch. However, as the name states, it's the flavor that really sets this place off. I came with my sister and we ordered the peach cobbler, French toast and the shrimp and grits along with their Mango flavored lemonades. Everything was delicious. The shrimp and grits to me were the star of the show. Other restaurants don't have a proper sauce for the shrimp but Flavor Rich got it on the mark. When I say, I love shrimp and grits, this place was exactly when I think of when I say I want that dish. If you're in the area, this one is definitely a great place to go. You can tell a lot of locals come here. Only thing of note is the parking lot. We visited on Sunday so parking was limited due to the restaurant being adjacent to a church. read more

Great ambiance and wonderful staff . Got seated immediately, very diverse customers . Food came quickly and was delicious. Great portion sizes . Wish they had mimosas, outside of that absolutely great experience. read more
Flavor Rich, I get it. Take a step in and look around. The table on the left, the table on the right, the waitress carrying those two plates....it all looks absolutely irresistible. How does one even choose?! Flavor rich isn't your average neighborhood eatery. It's over the top dishes and flavors in that unmistakable Atlanta vibe. The artwork, the music, the plating, these guys don't miss a thing. The menu itself is as it good it gets: Peach cobbler French toast, fried lobster, truffle steak and eggs, chicken and waffles, and the list goes on and on. I came for the chicken sandwich and truffle Parmesan fries, and boy was it hard to hold on to my conviction amid all this temptation. But fried chicken and bacon and jalapeños aioli? How can you pass that up?! Technically speaking, it's beyond reproach. A toasted bun, wonderfully crisp chicken, contrasts of both flavor and texture. But to be perfectly fair, I do think the sandwich would have been significantly better if a thigh was chosen over the breast. With such a generous breast portion, it can become a little tough in the middle. Overall an excellent sandwich indeed. As good as the sandwich is, the fries might be even better....and I normally don't even care for crinkle fries. Flavor rich is the type of restaurant that becomes the neighborhood spot. Birthday? Flavor Rich. Anniversary? Flavor Rich. Feeling sad/good? Flavor Rich. I mean how else are you going to experience this laundry list of amazing menu options?! read more
I love this place. The French toast were a bit sweet for my liking & overly covered in the toppings but it was not bad. My favorite were the shrimp and grits. I got the shrimp fried & let me tell you, that is the way to go. The shrimp has pork in them (btw). The cheese sauce that comes with the grits was so tasty. I can't wait to come back and try this hidden gem again. read more

The food was good. This restaurant can get pretty busy on the weekends making parking hard to find. It also makes the wait time longer because the space is so small compared to the demand. I had to wait an hour even with a reservation. The ambiance is nice and casual with art on the wall and great music playing. It's family friendly and gives off a family gathering vibe. The waitress was really nice and made a few good recommendations. I went during breakfast and had the fish and grits which was pretty decent. It was seasoned pretty good without being too salty. I wanted to try the wagyu breakfast burger but they weren't serving it at the time. read more

Excellent tasting food. Would not split bill. However would separate payment methods (be prepared to do math at the table). Shrimp didn't come with any sauce. If you want sauce, it's made in house and a charge of $2. read more

Ok this place is bomb. It was crowded but they moved people in and out. Service was immaculate. The wait staff was on point. Tight space but walls lit and cutely decorated fresh roses were on the table. Lyla was our waitress and was west as could be. Now the food is ridiculously good. I had the fried swai with eggs potatoes toast and grits and my husband had the waygu burger. Everything was cooked to perfection and seasoned I also had the mango lemonade . Pricy but basically two meals. Couldn't finish. Would go again. read more

This is not your average brunch place. Based upon great reviews, we decided to try Flavor Rich for Sunday brunch. The online reservation system being used is inconsistent in the time quoted. We waited a good 20 minutes longer than quoted. The restaurant is small, seating approximately 30 people at a time. When people are hanging out leisurely, this can affect wait times. There is nowhere to wait inside. There are 2 benches out front. The parking is a problem on Sundays, as the shopping center also contains a church. Once seated, we ordered water only to find out they only have bottled water (strange for a sit down restaurant). The menu states the water is $3. Thankfully, we weren't charged. We ordered fish and grits, shrimp and grits, and a veggie omelette (served with grits and toast). Both of the seafood and grits dishes were very well seasoned, cooked perfectly, and had beautifully fresh ingredients. The grits were full of butter and delicious. The omelette was large but needed more seasoning as the owner insists on not providing salt and pepper on the table, The chairs were quite comfortable and the tables were a sturdy marble. The service is consistent and we were checked on several times. The walls were adorned with various African American pop icons. The ceiling tiles need replacing due to visible signs of leaks. I understand why restaurants tend to leave their ceilings exposed in an industrial chic motif. The music piped in was also quite loud. I would return for the food, albeit on a day less crowded because I'm a foodie. Not everyone I know would appreciate the nuances that I am willing to accept when dining out. Hence my initial sentence. read more
