Absolutely delicious!!! I've heard of this spot but had never been. Went with a party of 8 and we sat outside. They brought us around and entered on the side, so idk really what inside looks like. Willie was our host and server and he was very attentive and great! I ordered the Catfish and shrimp breakfast w/potatoes and added onions to my eggs/potatoes. The shrimp were a nice size and the catfish were crispy how I like it! Pack your patience as it comes to parking, there's only street parking. There is a lot 2 businesses down; but not sure if it's an open lot. I will be back! read more

Flavor Table - Catfish & grits, eggs and a biscuit. - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Los Angeles, California

It's been years since I last visited this restaurant. I had out of town guest and wanted to treat them to brunch. We were served quite fast. Our server did not introduce herself but she was attentive to our needs. We were served a proper portion of food for the price. So much food we ALL had leftovers to go. The food was delicious and served hot. No lukewarm food here. One of my out of town guest is a picky eater, but she really enjoyed her meal. The decor has a few elements of NOLA, like the vibrant paintings. Get there early for the breakfast specials. read more

Amazing food, fairly minimal wait times and the meals cooked home made, it gets no better than that. Although we had to wait a bit longer to be seated and for our food due to a few of their staff calling out that day, the food did not disappoint. The chicken was fried crispy and very WELL SEASONED; something that seems hard to come by these days. The potatoes were soft but flavorful and included peppers and onions and everything came out fresh and hot. This place definitely lives up to its name, definitely worth giving it a try. read more

Flavor Table - Friend chicken in front and breakfast potatoes in the back - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My goodness! This place is the local G.O.A.T. for breakfast for the soul. The Peach Cobbler French Toast rocks my world. I can't bring myself to trying anything else because the dish is quite perfection. The serving size is very generous, and you definitely get your money's worth. Food is always hot and fresh. I have not been disappointed with quality. The ambiance and service is equally warm and full of love. I feel good supporting gems like this in the neighborhood. I would recommend visiting earlier for the least wait time. read more

The Shrimp & Catfish Breakfast Platter at The Flavor Table is hands down one of the best brunch meals you'll find in Los Angeles. If you love Southern comfort food, this is your sign to pull up, place an order, and get ready for pure satisfaction. Let's talk flavor: the catfish is perfectly fried--crispy on the outside, tender and seasoned to perfection on the inside. The shrimp are juicy, flavorful, and taste fresh off the grill. The homestyle potatoes have that golden crisp with just the right seasoning, and the scrambled eggs are fluffy, buttery, and cooked just right. You'll get generous portions--enough to box up leftovers for a late brunch snack (trust me, you'll want to save some). But it's not just the food that keeps me coming back-it's the excellent customer service. The staff is friendly, attentive, and make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. It's the kind of hospitality that reminds you why supporting local, Black-owned businesses is important. #FlavorTableExperience #SoulFoodBrunch #ShrimpAndCatfishCombo #SouthernBrunchVibes #LAFoodieFavorites #YelpEliteEats #GoogleFoodieFinds #BrunchDoneRight #CustomerServiceMatters #BlackOwnedBrunchSpot #ComfortFoodGoals read more

While visiting The City of Angels, (from the bay) the besties, I a crew decided to grab a bite to eat. While the food was tasty, I found a couple of uncleaned shrimp in my batch, so I had to eat around it. And even though we had a bit of a wait, we didn't mind because, they let us gather in the back room to chill on the couch and chairs, so we chatted it up until our table is ready. Willie was awesome and on it checking on us every chance he got. Ambience was mellow, but full of love. Not sure if we will be back, only because when we come down from the town, we like to try out different restaurants. I still am giving this place 3 yumms up and a Willie is the best! read more

10 out of 10! Found this little gem while in town. Was looking for a good breakfast spot and came upon this wonderful Black Owned Business. Staff were pleasant, the place was clean. Food was fresh and delicious! What we ordered: The "Mix" super yummy drink, tasted like a Sunrise or Uptown with a hint of mango! French Toast, Biscuits, Bacon Breakfast, Salmon Croquette Breakfast, Grits all so good. Also come hungry cause these portions are huge! This is southern home cooking for sure! read more

Flavor Table - Salmon Croquette Breakfast - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The Peach Cobbler French Toast is what they are known for and I can see why. If you are someone who likes a sweet breakfast you are going to love this flavorful breakfast that tastes like it should just be dessert. We also trips the fried chicken and it was just like being in your mom's kitchen which is my preferred fried style. The sunrise was frozen at the bottom so hard to enjoy until that was melted but once it did it was delicious. The grits could have used more cheese and seasoning in my opinion but were still good with the sauce on top. The was a bit of a wait, we were told it was going to take about 30 minutes to be seated and ended up waiting close to an hour to get seated. It was a Sunday, and they seemed like they needed more staff. Overall I would go again but would likely order take out and pick up and just eat at home. read more

My family has been here a few times and each time did not disappoint. Food is always fresh, and it's not called FLAVOR table for no reason, the flavor is definitely there! Hostess and waiters are friendly and attentive. It's small inside but feels like you're eating breakfast with your cousins at grannies house. This is our go to brunch spot when in LA! 10/10 read more

There is usually a short wait, sometimes up to fifteen minutes, but the service is excellent, food divine, and ambiance is like home. I often pay some stranger's tab as I leave in an effort to spread the wealth. Parking can be a challenge, but I am not aware of any reports of vehicle thefts or damage owing to one's patronage of the Flavor Table. I understand that this site is the original and run by the matriarch. The one in Inglewood is run by the son. read more

We visited around 9:30am on a Saturday morning. There was about a 5 minute wait before we could be seated. We ordered our food (see photos) and everything was DELICIOUS. As time passed, it did get really packed and loud so keep that in mind. I saw that they have an early bird special from 7-9am, we definitely will have to swing by and try coming earlier next time to try it out! Thanks to Willie for the great service! read more

yummy food & breakfast ill go back here for more this place to deserve a good reaview

yes..yes..yes! Searched Yelp for a good spot to hit while visiting L.A.. This place did not disappoint. When you roll up and there's a line of people..than you know it's good. Even with the line, they turn the tables over fairly quickly. We barely waited 5 mins. Food..OMG almost everything we ordered was FIRE (salmon croquettes were a bit too salty and fishy..but still tastes decent. The catfish plate with grits was just perfect. Fluffy flaky fish with the well seasoned crispy outside!. My Mom lost her mind over the peach cobbler French toast! And my uncle was in heaven eating the short ribs and grits! Oh and try "The mix".. a drink they serve, you won't be disappointed. Service was great. Everyone was friendly and attentive, even with how busy they were. I'd definitely recommend this spot..and next time I'm in L.A. I'm hitting them up! read more

It's been a long time since I've been anywhere to eat where the food was hot; very fresh; the wait wasn't long and the food was good. I guess I went at a great time. I enjoyed myself along with a couple of friends; last Saturday! What really impressed me was the softness of their biscuits. So many places push their biscuits but some places give you a hard biscuit! I will definitely be back. I even got great service! Cool spot that will continue to be a place for me to eat at in the future... Thanks. read more

Flavor Table - Hot link breakfast! Links were hot & spicy like I love! Eggs fluffy & the buttery grits good. Everything was fresh & hot! - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We were in the area and decided to give this place a try. We were greeted warmly by the staff as soon as we entered and because we had a party of 6 we did have to wait. Although it isn't set up to accommodate large groups, they were able to get us two tables next to each other. Our waitress was fantastic- great energy, great suggestions on food, and very attentive. Crab and shrimp omelette , Texas omelette, spinach omelette, turkey omelette, loaded potatoes, and caramel French toast were all huge portions and absolutely delicious!!! Absolutely recommend Flavor Table!!! read more

Service was great! Friendly, family welcoming vibe. Food was delicious and plentiful!! Mom had the Jambalaya Omelette and I had a combo breakfast with fried chicken wings. Wings were good, cooked to the bone (no pink), but I like them cooked a little bit longer, next time I'll order fried hard, but will order again. Had a soft drink called "The Mix". Don't know what was in it, but it was so good. Drank it to the last drop! Cute dining room too. We really enjoyed eating here. read more

On November 1, 2025, at approximately 8:30 a.m., my friend and I decided to try breakfast at Flavor Table. We informed the hostess that another friend would be joining us shortly and called her to confirm her estimated arrival time, which was about 10 minutes. To avoid delaying seating, we notified the hostess again. However, she told us that if we were seated before our friend arrived, our friend would not be allowed to join us later. We found this response unreasonable and chose to leave. I respectfully suggest that the hostess clearly explain any seating or guest-waiting policies upfront to avoid confusion. Additionally, the hostess's demeanor came across as dismissive and rude, which made the experience unpleasant. Please consider providing customer service training or assigning someone better suited for guest interactions. read more

Flavor Table is THE BEST BREAKFAST SPOT in Los Angeles. The Jambalaya omelette is so good, you won't be disappointed.

Tried to communicate and obviously the service issues at this place start with the ownership... my waiter was the absolute WORSE. Without too many details, the front of the house isn't his strong suit and it's quite clear, the owner doesn't care. For a waiter to tell me "I'm not the cook" and try to show me his order taking booklet is crazy and screams inappropriate behavior. I chose to bring my friend here on her birthday and this place ruined it. I've tried and won't again....dine at your own risk. read more

Still my favorite LA brunch place! So flavorful and consistently good!!!! Nothing on the menu disappoints. Ever ;-)

I haven't had anything that I didn't like! I don't even care for omelets and one of my favorites is the crab and shrimp omelet!

We haven't been here since before the pandemic, so it was nice to see the doors back open. Not sure if ownership changed or what changed but it was just slightly different. The weight wasn't that long as it used to be. We also went mid week. The staff is always friendly and inviting and there's always such a warm feel to the place. Went ahead and got the fried catfish and eggs and shrimp and grits. The fried catfish has always been one of our favorites. The seasoning on the breading is one of a kind. Flavor in every single bite. And the breading to catfish ratio is perfect. Do you still get chunks of white flaky, juicy moist catfish in every bite, and that I was so good seasoning on the outside. Fried to perfection. Shrimp and grits were pretty tasty as well. Flavorful and cooked well. One of the best we've had. But definitely not the star of the show. Anytime we're in the area. We always make a stop and will continue to do so. Love this place. read more

I went around 1 pm, waited to be seated (which isn't the issue) but also waited 20 minutes for someone to take my order... After placing my order waited another 30 minutes with no food. Left because that is ridiculous. The place didn't appear to be super crowded either so I don't know what the problem was. Hostess was nice and the food looked good online. It would be nice to actually try it next time. read more
