WOW. Just... WOW. If I could eat brunch here every morning without my bank account filing a complaint, I absolutely would. This place has officially earned a spot in my Top 5 brunch restaurants. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was warm, welcoming, and felt like you were visiting family. Our server had the best sense of humor, kept us laughing, was genuinely conversational, and made us feel right at home. Great service like that is hard to find. Now let's talk about the food... because WOW. The catfish was perfectly seasoned, hot, crispy, and cooked to perfection. The shrimp and grits were packed with flavor, and the Red Velvet French Toast? Somebody needs to protect that recipe at all costs! The red velvet was unbelievably soft, rich without being too heavy, and every bite was better than the last. We also ordered bacon, sausage, and sampled the juices--which were all fresh and delicious. The coffee? Strong enough to wake up your ancestors, just the way I like it! One warning: come hungry! The portions are HUGE. We ordered what felt like the entire menu and still had leftovers. I already can't wait to come back and try lunch because if brunch is this incredible, I know lunch is going to be amazing too. Five stars isn't enough. If Yelp let me give this place 10 stars, I would. See y'all again very soon! read more

What an outstanding place. The food was on point and our server was awesome. He was very attentive and explained each dish thoroughly. The ambiance was great. It was busy but due to somewhat limited seating, there wasn't a bunch of noise and such. The price is more than other establishments but you are paying for quality and amazing service. My far the best place I've eaten at since moving to San Antonio. I will be back! read more

Before I begin let me say the food is A M A Z I N G!!!!! BUT the following ruined the experience for us: Staff was very inattentive. I had to ask for more coffee, the waitress never checked on us, didn't offer refills, left finished dishes sitting on the table way longer than they should have. My SIL booked the party room & we were ROASTING in there it was SO hot it was uncomfortable. Ironically the rest of the restaurant was nice & cool. When I asked a staff member if we could prop the door open to get some air she looked at me like I was bothering her & kept walking. The manager agreed to separate the check onto 3 different credit cards & for whoever was paying in cash. The waitress argued with my SIL & BIL about it even though they'd gotten the managers agreement. Again the food is out of this world good but the service was the absolute worst. read more

We didn't have a reservation but the hostess was very accommodating. She sat us within 15 minutes. She greeted us kindly and with a smile. Our server Duane was awesome. The food and drinks were very good. The vibe/ambiance of the restaurant was relaxing and the music was great. Even the patrons at the table next to mine was so friendly. We had a great conversation. LOL!! I would definitely go back when I visit TX again. read more

First time customers. When we arrived, it was packed, so they told us it'd be an hour wait-but only ended up being 35min. Menu was QR code only and had less variety than we thought. Oddly enough, all of the bkfst items (sausage/grits/potatoes/eggs) were ala' carte, which was disappointing, since this place is "brunch" themed. However, portions were huge, which was nice because it was a bit pricy...for a brunch spot. -3 jumbo (butterflied) shrimp/over salted broccolini/very spicy rice. -2 large pieces of chicken but nothing to rave about. -Mac & Cheese was hot & overflowing. -Pineapple Lemonade & Sweet Tea was good. Space is small, but clean. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive. We won't rush back but will eventually return. read more

There is no online wait list. If they're "busy" which is always, they won't answer the phone. The only way you'll know if the wait list is closed is if you show up in person ( gas ain't cheap) Even if that's 1 1/2 hrs before the advertised closing time. I do appreciate the manger for allowing me to be added to the wait list based on me being a single diner. They don't serve water at the table, only $3 bottled water. You are forced to buy a drink or eat without one. Would have loved to try the fish and grits but they ran out. However, I did have the chicken and waffles. The chicken was tender and well seasoned. Overall, the food was good and the manager was really accommodating. I will give them another try hopefully they implement a better wait list process as well as notifications of a closed waitlist before then read more

Flavor Rich Restaurant - Chicken and waffles. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Flavor Rich offers its customers soul food brunch items that are absolutely scrumptious! Believe me, additional salt and pepper are not needed. Come hungry because you will leave full! Taste - 5/5 Everything we ate was go-o-o-d! Most memorable were the grits, the fried catfish, the pineapple lemonade and the honey brussels sprouts. Atmosphere - 5/5. The restaurant has a very nice vibe. It is inviting and highlights very cool pop art of famous R&B artists on the walls. I loved how we were listening to music while we enjoyed our meal. That was such a nice touch. The place fills up quickly, so I recommend you either go early or during the week to beat the crowd. read more

Came here on a Friday afternoon with a friend. I didn't see any there to make a reservation online, so we just walked in. This was actually my second attempt at coming because the wait was astronomical the first time. This time, we were told the wait would be around 20 minutes but it ended up only being 8 minutes. All of the staff were very nice and accommodating. My friend and I ate family stye, which I strongly recommend for this place because you have to try as many dishes as possible. We started with lemon drop mimosas. I honestly didn't expect much but THEY WERE SO GOOD. They really tasted like the perfect blend between a lemon drop martini and a mimosa. I wish everywhere sold them because now I think I've found my new go to beverage. Now this place is called flavor rich for a reason. That crawfish and cheese was indeed Flavor Rich! It was well seasoned but not overpowering. There was crawfish in every bite. And do you see the portion size??? The shrimp and grits were 'very demure'. I've never seen this dish look so dainty. Almost too cute to eat.. almost. Taste wise, this wasn't really the star of the show but still very good if you like to keep things simple. Now when the strawberry shortcake French toast arrived my eyes got almost as big as that Mac and cheese plate. I've never seen such an incredible display of a simple dish in my life. It was topped with fresh strawberries, cake pieces, whipped cream, and toasted marshmallows. It literally looks like something you only see on IG but no this is the real deal. We originally ordered the sampler, but were sold out. I'm actually glad that happened because we were only able to eat half a toast each. It was so decadent and reminded me of a luxury cinnamon roll. No syrup needed. As all of this delicious food fed our tummies. The satisfying old school R&B music fed our souls. It was definitely a treat to listen because most SATX restaurants don't have that. The music was also at the perfect volume. I would love to return to this amazing establishment in the future. The service, food, and ambiance were incredible and definitely worth an encore. No matter the wait, this place is well worth it. read more

This restaurant was worth the drive I made to get to it. The great ambience starts as soon as you walk through the door. I was fascinated by the decor and then the presentation of the food. I pieced together what I wanted to get my ultimate meal. I opted for the vanilla bean waffles -- not realizing just how much food that alone would be. I added scrambled eggs and turkey sausages. Everything was very good and the strawberry lemonade was to die for! I also got great service and lots of leftovers to take home. I went for lunch and it was clear this is a very popular restaurant, so plan your visit accordingly. read more

I'm gonna start with an apology to flavor rich. Because I for sure waited toooooooooo long to stop in. OMG was this good. Stated a lil rocky because our server seemed to be late to work and also seemed to be the only one who was allowed to take orders. A gentleman took our drink orders but advised he wouldn't be taking our food order. We were there at 10am on Sunday right when they opened so we gave them a little grace but it wasn't the best first impression. And thennnnnn the food came. Wowowowowowow. I had shrimp and grits. Flavorful. Full sized shrimp. Delicious. My sister had the shrimp and waffles. Colossal shrimp perfectly fried. Waffles crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Amazing. Another party has the breakfast burger and said it was also delicious. Lots of flavors. Every bite for everyone was worth it. So good. The place is very nice inside. Good music playing. Relaxed vibe. There was a large party arriving there and there was a lot of chair dragging to set that up but it's fine. So glad I finally made it here. Wow. Definitely gonna return. read more

Can't deny the flavor here! I tried the following and here's my rating on each one: vanilla bean waffle 5/5 (not dry or overcooked and so tasty), fried fish 4/5 (so delicious just more flour than meat), and fried chicken 5/5 (great quality and flavor but just a tiny bit salty). The ambiance is chill, even for a busy Saturday it wasn't super loud and they had the R&B/Soul jams playing. I went solo so the wait was less than 10 minutes and the service was really good. I will say they seem to be understaffed or super busy. I only had water and they only serve it bottled and it's $3.00 for the 16.9 fl oz. Note: you can only make reservations the day of for parties of 10 or less and it has to be in person. They do not have a rsvp system and do not account them via phone unless your part is 10+! read more

Ambiance was really cool, I'm all for the black owned, black ambience themed restaurant. This is my second in SA area. As a white male who was raised the typical southern redneck ways, it seems out of my wheelhouse, it's not. I wish i could give it 5 stars but i just had to dock 1 star for few things. Not to say i won't go back, im just very strict on my ratings. But they can always be changed for next trip. Let's start with food. The omelette was lackluster, very pretty and proper. Yet, i had to pour seasoning on a few times. Still couldn't eat bit 1/4 before throwing in the towel. Literally. I had high expectations knowing what i know about the seasonings black folk put on their food (like i do when i cook too, learned from them) lol I added the sausage just in case the veggie omelette wouldn't have enough flavor kick, but to be honest the sausage was also under seasoned and lackluster. The potato's were EXACTLY what i had expected when i read it was black restaurant. That's the kinda thing i was looking forward too. Strong seasoned!! It was great. Almost like jerk flavored taters I've never been a grits eater, we were raised on meat and taters and eggs for breakfast. Never grits and I'm from the south. I've tried them at several places going to like them but never have, till now, it's still not something i would order, but they tasted pretty amazing. And love the way it was plated and presented. I didn't however like that they poured the grits like they did but all over my toast. I'm picky about foods touching cause I'm a weirdo... but grits and bread just don't match. At all. ALL THIS BEING SAID, BUT I COULDNT TRY THIER BEST DISHES. I cut sugar from my diet 6 months ago and can't bring myself to do it anymore. Even though 99% of their menu has sugar filled items. They all looked so amazing. I seen the other tables get their orders and all i could do was drool. If they ever figure out a way to make some of the bad azz breakfast desert dishes but sugar free, they would have a 4 hour wait daily and reservations only on weekends. In today's times everyone trying to eat much more healthy. Maha!!! How about a sugar free chicken and waffles. Maybe a chicken and waffles but sugar free syrup or honey, idk. I loved the pics on the walls and the suede seats!! And the gold plated spoons forks and knives. Staff was super friendly. There was zero prejudice eyes on me. I felt right at home like everyone else there. That made a big impression as that's not what happened to me when i went to a similar place in Houston. I felt like i was not suppose to be there. Needless to say, I'm going back next week and might even have my very first cheat day in 6 months and have some sugar foods. Gave 4 stars at the beginning, but now after I wrote the whole review. I realized they deserve the five star so I'm changing it right now after next meal there I'll make a decision take that star back or leave it. read more

There was a wait that was pretty average for San Antonio Sunday brunch, but it was well worth it. The decor was gorgeous. True to its name, the food at Flavor Rich was incredibly flavorful. The shrimp and grits were a smaller portion, but I felt full by the time I finished them. The chicken and waffles plate was huge. The pineapple lemonade was a really nice bonus. Definitely recommended if you have friends or family coming into town. read more

Literally the best food I've ever eaten. We go all in on breakfast so we had lobster & grits, the fried fish with eggs and potatoes, and banana foster French toast and it was all exquisite! We're used to a typical omelette type breakfast but decided to go out of our comfort zone for the experience and it was INCREDIBLE! The fried fish and the sauce it had on the side was divine! Even just the potatoes were insane- so much flavor! They aren't kidding about their food being art. So delicious and full of flavor. The staff was absolutely lovely and friendly and the restaurant is gorgeous. Such a great experience! read more

I love it here!! We came to visit San Antonio for the weekend knowing we would not find Houston type food...but baaaby! This place was awesome! Plenty of parking. We had about a 30 minute wait which was good for Valentines. Franklin assisted us and he was awesome! He educated us on the food. He gave recommendations. He checked on us throughout. He gave us the history of the resturant being from ATL. Now about this food. Chicken and waffles and shrimp and waffles were AMAZING! The seasoning was perfect. That red velvet cake waffles are on another level. Everything about this spot was on point. I need them to get to Houston asap!!! read more

The food was seasoned and cooked very well. The portions were huge. I had shrimp and waffles and my husband had the breakfast platter that consisted of eggs over easy, grits, bacon, and toast. Our food tasted great. The staff was accommodating and kind even when one in our party was given something that she did not order. However, the noise level in the restaurant was extremely distracting. Between the loud conversations around us at the other tables and the music that was blaring old-school R&B music, the aesthetics for eating were poor. Additionally, there were too many flies all over the place. And sadly enough, there was only one toilet in each bathroom. People were waiting in line outside the doors to the restrooms and that was not a good look. We came to eat here at the invitation of friends and to support another black-owned business in San Antonio. Overall, this restaurant has much potential but it may be a while before we choose to return for a meal at this place. read more

I hope you haven't lost Your Flavor .... This was my third visit to Flavor Rich, first after the Grand Opening, then on Mother's Day, and now with family visiting from the Philippines. We arrived at 11 (a bit late) and waited an hour for a table, which we expected. Service was great, and our waitress was quick with drinks. We ordered a mix: crab cake Benedict, red velvet French toast, lobster and waffles, chicken and waffles, a burger, Brussels sprouts, and the crab & crawfish mac and cheese. Unfortunately, the mac was disappointing, greasy, stiff, and the portion noticeably smaller than before, but the same price.. My chicken was overly salty, and one of the poached eggs came out hard-boiled. I don't typically send food back, but I do share my experiences. Flavor Rich started strong, but today's visit missed the mark. Hoping this was just an off day. It Will Definitely take a minute for us to return and I am saddened my family didn't get the opportunity we had during the first few months ... please remember Quality over quantity. read more

5+++++ Flavor Rich restaurant is a vibe! Smooth and classy is what immediately comes to mind. My hair stylist raves about this place and said she came here twice in one week. Granite tables, modern chairs, abstract like paintings (love abstract), greenery walls and huge yellow roses on the tables. This is the type of restaurant you might see in Houston, TX. Sexy music is playing in the background. This is the place where you bring your boo thang (significant other). A selection of music playing in the background: ***In the Rain by The Dramatics ***Under the Influence by Chris Brown ***Superstar by Usher The manager, Franklin, said this place has been open for 7 months. They have scan menus and 3 locations (Suwanee, GA, Atlanta, GA and San Antonio, TX). Interesting to note, they have hand scrub in their restroom. Never seen this in a restaurant restroom. Pleasant surprise... Ordered the shrimp and grits ("Blackened colossal shrimp over creamy grits with andouille sausage, sautéed spinach, cipollini onions, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes topped with lobster cream sauce"). Also my expectations were super high! My expectations were exceeded. Onion and tomatoes ...hard to explain...and everything in between... delicious!!! The shrimp were colossal, butterflied and seasoned to absolute perfection. The French Toast sampler was a work of art. Important to note, the menu is a bit pricey. So worth every penny! I would highly recommend this restaurant. Run don't walk getting here!!! read more

Cute spot but def small. We came in Friday but it was already getting full. We had Franklin and he was very nice. We walked in and the seafood def overpowered the small spot, smells good it looking to eat lunch but I wanted breakfast so the smell threw me off a little. Would go back to try the lunch items, the cocktails were good but there were lk 3 fruit fly's stuck at our table once the drinks came out so hope the bar in the back or wherever they have it doesn't have that issue. read more

I value supporting Black-owned businesses, but I hope this feedback serves as a constructive learning opportunity. I placed an order at 12:49 PM on a moderately busy day in your shared restaurant space. Unfortunately, my original order was mistakenly given away to another customer.When an error like this occurs, the replacement order should be prioritized immediately and served fresh and hot. Instead, I did not receive my food until nearly 2:00 PM, and it arrived only semi-warm. While I appreciate that the staff offered me a complimentary drink to make up for the delay, I had already purchased one with my meal, making the gesture unhelpful. Better communication and faster recovery on order errors would greatly improve the customer experience. P.S and I tipped upon purchase. read more

We ordered to-go but the inside was so cute! Great place for a girls brunch! The service was fast and everything was actually in the bags which is always appreciated. We got the bananas foster French toast, strawberry shortcake French toast, fish and grits and shrimp and grits. The Bananas fosters was perfect. Sweet but not too sweet. The syrup is a caramel glaze. Banana had a slight torch to it which I really reminds me of the dessert you would find in a 5 star resort in a Caribbean vacation. The shrimp was a tad over cooked and a little spicy but very flavorful. The fish and grits was absolute money! Packed with flavor, nice crisp to the fish but flaky inside, grits were seasoned sparingly to not overpower the fish and they throw in some charred onions. The portions are HUGE, you can split one meal between 2 people. I will be going back! read more

Found this place in a whim and the food is really good! I love the ambiance and the decor. The music is definitely there and overall it was great! I ordered the simple breakfast, the honey glazed Brussel sprouts (I looooove roasted Brussel sprouts) and the churro waffles. The Brussel sprouts are flavorful and the honey gives it a nice touch of sweetness. The simple breakfast was delicious and grits (uh-mazing!). The service was fantastic and food came quick. There is a cap of 1 hour for dining (heads up). Although an hour was enough with how fast the food came. will be going back! read more

This spot is great for brunch. The service is nice and the vibe is welcoming. The portions are huge so it is a great value for your money. I felt as if someone's grandma is cooking in the back. The balance of flavors and textures is executed beautifully. The smoked mac and cheese was phenomenal. The Brussels sprouts make you crave vegetables. My fried fish (swai) and grits was enough for two. The fish was light and hearty at the same time. The crust was delightful and fried just right. The grits were so smooth and creamy, the look like mashed potatoes. Such technique was very impressive. The chicken sandwich was super crunchy yet juicy on the inside. It was the biggest chicken sandwich I have ever seen. I can't wait to eat my leftovers. If someone at your table gets the fries please dip one in the smoked mac and cheese sauce. You will thank me later. read more

Went on a weekday around 11am and was seated immediately. The seating was velvet chairs which provided a more elevated vibe but it's still a casual restaurant. Decorated in hip hop and rnb photos and rnb music playing. Ordered two cocktails, two entrees, and a side and spent about $100 plus to tip. They do only have bottled water which I assume was a charge but I was fine with just the cocktail. The service was pretty quick and the servers were friendly. The food was very flavorful as the name suggests and the portions were just enough. There were more people coming in after we were seated so I could see this place getting packed easily on a weekend. I will be back as the food was delicious though it may be on the higher end of price for most people. read more

Went to my old stomping grounds to try Flavor Rich and it was nice to see something new in the neighborhood. The interior is very nice and upscale, and the interior looked very clean. We were greeted upon arrival, our reservation was confirmed, and we were seated right away. Our server was friendly and provided recommendations when asked. After a review of the menu, I went with the veggie omelet w/breakfast potatoes instead of the grits with a side of toast. You will notice the prices are on the high side, but you do get a sizable portion as I left feeling full. The omelet was very well prepared, the egg was fluffy and the veggies inside were grilled nicely, and the cheese just brought it all together. The breakfast potatoes were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They didn't have any wheat or multi-grain toast, so I went with white bread and oddly they did have butter to spread only drawn butter I poured over my toast. Overall, Flavor Rich lived up to its name as the food did deliver on flavor. One thing to note, while the music being played was entertaining it was a bit loud for breakfast time, but I do intend to come back to try more of the menu read more
