The food here is amazing and I've never not liked anything I've ordered. Now they have a giant touchscreen menu where you can order your food and pay there. Other food already comes in a takeout container so it's easy to grab and go. My favorite things I've had there are definitely the oxtail, brown stew, chicken, and the curry chicken. For their sides, their garlic mashed potatoes is actually amazing and you can definitely tell there's a lot of garlic in it, lol when you pour some of the brown stew gravy on top of it, it is literally chefs kiss. Everyone there has always been super nice highly recommend if you're in the area they won't disappoint read more

My first time at Flavaz Jamaican Grille and it won't be my last. I tried their brown stew chicken with rice and peas, steamed cabbage, and plantains. Everything was seasoned so well and the chicken was tender falling off the bone. This was the perfect balanced savory dish. I had the mango sweet tea which I loved. It wasn't overly sweet and I got a nice good taste of the mango. The vibe here was casual, there is plenty of seating area, and the service was great. I highly recommend dining at this location. read more

Have not visited this spot in a few years simply because of the proximity to my home but if you're in the mood for some good authentic Jamaican food, I'd recommend stopping in and getting a meal. They do have a good selection of options on the menu from appetizers, to entrees which include vegetarian options and desserts. I ordered takeout and was able to place my order conveniently online. It was fairly easy to place the order. The service was nice when I came to pick up the order. Was able to pay at the register by tap card and I love that they open the container to show you the food before you make the final purchase. The food was hot and delicious. I took my food to go but they do have inside dining available. The restaurant was well lit and clean. Parking might be a bit tricky however as they are located in a small plaza and share a space with multiple other businesses, including a gas station. Definitely worth it in my opinion! read more

Great place for authentic Jamaican food. Oxtails are pricy but they taste great. The owner of the restaurant is pleasant along with the employees. I can never catch the soup on the weekends. They run out super fast. I'd recommend this place if you want good Jamaican food. You won't be disappointed. read more

Food is amazing and I've been here multiple times however I placed an in-person order knowing the wait is typically longer (around 25-30min) here but I'm completely fine with that because the food is great. The issue comes in when I ordered my food, was told it would be about 25-30min but it ends up being 50min just for them to tell me the ticket never printed and they have to start my order when I got back to the restaurant. I asked for a refund. I didn't have time to wait another 25-30min for my order. I even ran errands for 30min after ordering and when I got back was told they'll check my order which itself took 10min for them to tell me what happened. That's over 60min which is not acceptable. I strongly suggest a better POS (Point-of-sale) system that communicates to the kitchen much more efficiently. One love. read more

II would give a zero if it were possible. I ordered food online and went to pick it up. I ended up waiting over an hour for my food and it never came out. All they kept telling me was it will be ready in a few minutes. eventually I ask for a refund and left. I used to love this place but I Will never go back again, whoever is in charge need some serious training. read more

First time, food was good,good service, good atmosphere. Highly recommend. I had the rice and peas with the fish and fries was sooo good!

Came into this location to get something to eat for lunch. I got two spicy beef patties and I got the five jerk wings for $8.99 can't go wrong with it. The food is so good. The service was great and the location is very clean and there's also space to eat. You can also order your food to go if you do not want to sit inside. read more

Flavaz Jamaican grille - 5 jerk wings $8.99 - Caribbean Near Me - Riverview, Florida

Had the jerk chicken and jerk pork. The taste was ok but both were very dry. It didn't taste as though it was cooked that day. It is also a little pricey for me as well. I may go back again just for something different but this won't be something I frequent very often. read more

Some days are good. Other days, they're awful. I'm Jamaican and sometimes crave a home cooked meal. Some days there is no effort put into the food. Last week ordered jerk chicken, 3:00 in the afternoon. Dry as the Sahara. read more

This is a love letter to Flavas Jamaican Grille This place is close to my house so we are frequent customers whether we order for pick up or delivery they have always been super friendly, consistent and the food you can tell is always made with so much love. Over the past week we experienced the devastating storm Milton and Flavas opened their doors to the community and provided free meals to families in need. This past week has been full of anxiety and so much stress and Flavas coming thru for our community means so much to me. They organized and packaged the food and handled what I'm sure was a hectic process with so much grace! Thank you so much Flavas I appreciate you all more than you'll ever know. I'm proud to be a patron of this establishment they truly an example of what it means to be there for your people. read more

The energy when walking inside Flavaz seemed very authentic & genuine. The music wasn't bad either. The 2 young ladies I encountered here are very kind and professional, the customer service was great. I went in to order a side of Mac n cheese and some plantains. They made the plantains fresh and they were still hot when I got home to eat them. They were very good and I would definitely recommend them. The macaroni was ok, my babies liked it and I ate it up as well. Would love to try more of their vegetarian menu sometime in the future. Their restaurant is very clean and nicely decorated showing an appreciation for their culture. Definitely check this place out if you have the chance. Also if you want chicken it's important that you show up early because they seem to sale out of chicken pretty quickly. Probably call in to make sure they have what you want, also it doesn't hurt to call your order in. read more

My chicken curry was delicious! Definitely authentic Jamaican cuisine. The wait took a bit long but it's worth it. I ordered to-go so I can't speak much on the ambiance but the interior was nice & clean. The mango tea was perfect. I hate really sweet drinks - but this had a perfect level of sweetness for me. My only complaint is only giving me 1 plantain ...that feels so evil. I love plantains so only one feels like a cruel joke. Other than that - amazing spot. read more

Flavaz Jamaican grille - Curry Chicken Jerk Chicken - Caribbean Near Me - Riverview, Florida

Walking into this establishment was ok. The restaurant was clean from the outside and inside, even the restrooms were clean which is a plus. A clean restaurant means good food. My oxtails were tasteful. Could have added a bit more seasoning but overall it was still good. The jerk chicken was flavorful and falling off the bone. The sauce that came with the Jerk chicken was packed with flavor and went well with the chicken. Service was good. The ladies were nice and ordering was easy. It took about 20 mins from the time I ordered my food until it came out hot and ready. Overall, it's a must try. read more

Great flavor and cook on the jerk chicken. It was not dry with just the right of spicy. The chop on the vegetables was the most impressive being finely julienne cut and diced on the peppers. Overall they have one of the better tasting jerky chicken in the Tampa area. I did have the mashed potatoes the other day and wish it came with some gravy as it was slightly dry. read more

I love me some Jamaican food! This spot hit the spot when it came to the Jerk Chicken, rice l, and cabbage. I wasn't a fan with the sauce that comes onto the side as it is too sweet. The chicken is good and you get great quantity. My wife thought it was a little too spicy but I like that. The oxtail was very tender and I loved the gravy that mixed in with the rice. Flavaz fulfilled my Jamaican food craving satisfied. read more

The Yelp reviews led me here and they did not disappoint. I ordered the Ackee & Ting (they only have salt fish on Saturdays). It was really good and flavorful. I'll definitely come back here. My order was to-go however they have a lot of seating inside. It's spacious and clean. They also play nice island music. It's in a plaza so parking is no issue. read more

The lunch specials are the way to go in order to get a hot meal under $15. Each meal I've received has been hot, fresh, and flavorful. My favorite is the jerk chicken lunch special! Comes with white rice or rice with peas, cabbage, jerk chicken (leg/thigh cut up) 2 plantains and a drink and a side of sauce. The portions are good. Customer service is always nice. If you have any questions about the menu they're there to explain it. A lot of people that I've noticed come in and order To-go. There's plenty of dining space if you want to sit down be it at the bar or dining area. read more

This was our first time here. We loved everything we ordered. Their jerk chicken wings are DELICIOUS. I ordered the oxtail entree, which I absolutely loved. The small portion was even a lot of food, which I took half of it home. I love that they have generous portions! Hubby had jerk chicken, which was also very tasty. I loved their sides (rice & peas and steamed cabbage). All of the workers were very nice. I would definitely come back here! I'm so glad that this restaurant is close to my house. I don't know why it took me so long to check it out! read more

The service and atmosphere is nice. My only problem was the oxtails. They were overly salty. I couldn't even enjoy one.. it was the meat itself because the gravy wasn't salty at all. I wish they would just slow cook them as the islanders are accustomed to get them to the tender state. read more

Horrible food. Bad customer service. Management has no clue what they are doing. I'm surprised the business has made it this long

Ya Mon. This little spot delivered over and over again. The oxtails are the hottest item in the place. Get there or order early. They sell out fast. I love their rice and peas and jerk chicken. It's the authenticity for me. Not commercial. Delivered true Jamaican food and service from the heart. read more

This restaurant is tuck away and part of the plaza of gas service station. The restaurant has some inside seating area. During COVID-19 condition, dine in has not been allow. We got one of the jerk shrimp skew and one of the jerk chicken. They did not have oxtail during my visit. Jerk shrimp will need a longer wait which they have told me. The jerk shrimp skews were grilled with jerk sauce, I like this appetizer. The jerk chicken was BBQ with right amount of jerk marinated seasoning. It is marinated to the bone. Overall take out experience is good. Price is at the high side especially at Riverview area. Value to taste is about 3.5 stars. read more

Tracy (The owner) was amazing.  The food OUTSTANDING!!! I ordered entrees Brown Stew Chicken and Oxtails, both large items. The portions were healthy the rice and peas were very fresh, and the cabbage and fried plantains were delicious as well.   Located in the Brandon/Riverview area at 6467 US 301 SOUTH RIVERVIEW, FL 33578 you will find Flavaz Jamaican Grille a full-service family restaurant (SAVORY authentic JAMAICAN cuisine). Sure to tantalize your taste buds.   The full-service family restaurant is VERY clean and Outstanding customer service was provided.   The chicken was cooked to perfection as well as the oxtail some of the best food I've eaten at a Jamaican restaurant in years.   Worth the trip! The food again was very flavorful and good healthy portions!!   Highly recommended!! read more

I'm a Flavaz regular. It's some of the best Jamaican food available in Riverview. The portion size is generous and the food is tasty. My favorite dish is their oxtails, although the price has increased, so I seldom have them. The stew chicken, jerk chicken and cabbage are also very good. The restaurant is clean and the staff is friendly. read more

As a born and raised Jamaican it's hard to find AUTHENTIC Jamaican food in a different country. After searching far and wide however, I definitely found the place that can scratch that itch for me. Flavaz is by far the most authentic tasting Jamaican restaurant I've had! Their patties are so good I buy them in bulk to keep in my freezer! I have also had almost everything on the menu and trust me it's all good. Their red peas soup alone brings me back home! If you are looking for authentic, tasty Jamaican food then this is the place for you! read more

I very much enjoy Jamaican food and the fact there is such a yummy spot near Riverview is such a bonus. This place is great however you cannot rush the food, not even for takeout. Expect a 10-20min wait minimum for your food to come out, but it's worth it. It maybe on the more expensive side however I think their oxtails are about par for market wherever you go, like even the grocery stores. I liked the amount I received for the smaller meal. It was plenty for me. My mom who does not like skin on her chicken adores this place because they provided all meat no extras for the curry chicken. My dad got the jerk chicken and he enjoyed, especially the sauce on the side. I will come back to see if all portions stay the same and food tastes great again! If so I won't drive into the city anymore when I can go half as far and get amazing food. read more

Every time I go to FL, I Must Get Their Ackee and Ting. It's Delicious. They Prepare As You Order It, Not Sitting All Day. Give It A Try!

Really good! I visited this past Saturday for the first time. I'd been in the mood for oxtail, but my usual place to get it from is not near my home. I needed something in the area. I immediately remembered Lisa M.'s review of the day and the pictures looked amazing. So, I decided to give it a try. I'm so glad I did. First of all, this restaurant has a good protocol in place for COVID-19. The sign on the door tells you to wear a face mask to prevent the spread. The patrons all comply. The employees were wearing masks and gloves. They have tape markings on the floor that are exactly 6 feet apart. I felt super safe placing my order and waiting inside for my takeout bag. All the food comes out straight from the kitchen. The young ladies at the counter are super friendly and helpful. The food was very good. I must admit like others that the price of the oxtail was a little surprising. My usual place doesn't charge as much. At the same time, the portion was good and the flavors were there. I love that the sweet plantains come with the meal as well as your choice of 2 sides. I was also excited that that they have Ting as a beverage option. I'd heard about this drink from a couple of my Jamaican friends. I didn't know that they had other flavors. I tried the Pink Ting which is a light pink grapefruit soda. It was so refreshing, and not as sweet as other sodas. I'd get it again. I'm looking forward to trying their whole red snapper. They make it 4 or 5 different ways. The escovitch preparation sounded really good to me. They'll steam it, fry it, serve it with brown sauce, and prepare it in other ways. It's so great that this restaurant is near by. Now I don't have to drive far for good Jamaican food. read more

I'm so glad that I found the spot! I like to come here to get oxtails and the food is really awesome! The service is really good and the ladies at the counter are always pleasant and really appear happy to be serving you! it may take a little time receive your order, but it is always very fresh when you receive it and they show you what you're getting, which I appreciate. I also like the spicy patties and I have to grab a Jamaican drink in a bottle during each of my visits. I am trying to continue to support small businesses such as this that serve awesome food and supply great service! Thanks ladies! Keep up the great work! read more

I would highly recommend Flavaz for an afternoon grub or a Sunday pick-me-up meal. The flavors are off the hook and the customer service is ideal. One reason I keep going back is for the coco bread accompanied with a juicy and succulent beef patty -- completely and utterly mouth watering. The Jamaican sodas are also a big favorite and pairs perfectly with the coco bread and beef patty or jerk chicken. The Jerk chicken is fabulous, but if you are a person who cannot handle any type of heat, I wouldn't recommend it. The only reason I docked down on one star for this establishment was because of the red snapper... every time my family and I go the fish seems to decrease in size each and every time. Other than that little hiccup, everything about Flavaz is AMAZING! Happy Eating! read more
