Taste The Flavors

Looks can be deceiving! This place is a hidden gem of Orangeburg soul food. I am a foodie and this food was delicious! I would highly recommend this spot. Hidden Gem of Soul...Don't judge a book by its cover! I killed see my pics

I placed an online order at 11pm the night before because they be so packed and set a future date & time for 1:30pm the next day. Customer service is top tier, they will meet you with a greet and smile. My order was hot and ready. I drove 1hr back home before eating and it was still hot! I had the turkey wings dinner with black eyed peas and collards. My hubby had 2 sweet chili turkey wings and Mac & cheese. Everything was pressure per usual. The food has an old soul touch & taste..literally like something my mom would cook with real flavors, not that modern “onion powder, garlic powder mess lol.. We will be returning the next time we’re passing through.

Don’t get me wrong, the food is phenomenal but my absolute favorite aspect of Taste The Flavor is the incredibly outstanding customer service. From the initial greeting when you walk into the restaurant until you leave, it’s quite literally like interacting with the jovial & funny cousins that you always want to be around. This staff is second to none. Their genuine kindness, easy nature, quick wit, & honesty is the epitome of quality customer service. My mom & I immediately felt like we were enjoying a meal with family. We have officially adopted the staff as family! Absolutely love it here & we will return to enjoy great food & fellowship with our new “cousins!” Now let’s talk about the food! This is soul food done RIGHT. Too many times, a “soul food” restaurant lacks actual soul…aka love & proper seasoning. That’s not an issue at Taste the Flavor. The food is seasoned perfectly & the portion sizes are beyond generous. It’s like having Sunday dinner at Big Mama’s house. The vegetables (collards, cabbage, beans, etc) are usually cooked with meat so if you are vegetarian ensure you asked about the preparation before ordering. I asked & was informed that the vegetable selection was cooked with turkey on that day. There are several options for vegetarians to choose from. Major kudos for this because vegetarian options at soul food restaurants can be hard. **I think I may have developed an addiction to their Hoppin John & potato salad lol** Oooooh I would be remiss if I didn’t talk about the speciality lemonade drinks! OMG absolutely scrumptious I had the apple flavored lemonade (it’s green) & I don’t remember which one mom had (it’s red). I may also have developed a special attachment to the speciality lemonades as well!

It was my first time eating here. I ordered a plate with 4 sides and 10 piece drummets , that were cooked fresh. All the food was really good. They were worth the visit and my money. I definitely recommend them.

Love, love, love. We go there several times a month. Love the turkey wings. Customer service is always awesome. The owner is always there. Always a line but it moves fast because it's a buffet and 2-3 workers finishing food so it's never a wait may 2 minutes at the max. Price is awesome for the quality and quantity of food.
