Flava Shack Seafood — Restaurant in Memphis

Living 25 minutes away, was disappointed delivery option was gone.

After trying to place a phone order, I eventually went in and saw the lady host handling To-Go orders, managing takeouts, inside checks, & helping serve customers. No wonder no one answered, I completely understood. She handled it very well with a smile, but she obviously needed help. There was a single server bussing the floor who was also very busy. The dining room had about 35 guests, with others coming and going for takeout. I overheard the kitchen was backed up, and that an additional cook would arrive soon. The inside guests seemed to notice the strain (looking around for their meals/drinks).

Unfortunately, the desserts, including my favorite carrot cake, had been unavailable for the past month. I ordered chicken quesadillas, wings, and garlic broccoli, with a 45-minute wait.

Three years of coming here, the food has never been an issue - as always, delicious. Portions were large, I didn’t finish. The service remained great/extremely friendly, despite being understaffed. I recommend dining in & choosing a slower day or placing pickup well in advance (this was Sat. evening). Overall, from placing the order to receiving it took an hour, which not having other plans, was okay to me.

Thank you to the hardworkers! Should the owner/mgmt see my review, it may be wise to invest in additional staff to help things run smoother and avoid overworking the current team. The restaurant has great potential with its popularity and...

I visited them over the weekend with my friend for lunch. We've been drooling over their IG for a while now and decided to finally try them out. The restaurant is clean. The staff is very friendly and attentive. We loved our waitress, funny and warm demeanor. I got the CAJUN steak. Now listen I love steak!! I know a good one. The steak was cooked medium exactly as I asked. It was a very nice size and had a good amount of fat. SADLY, it lacked SALT!!!!! It needed that base of salt . Or more seasoning? It just tasted like "meat ", no extra flavor to really heighten it? It was cooked perfectly though, so with the addition of A1 it was good My side of potatoes NEEDED SALT& PEPPER. my friend had lamb chops THEY WERE SEASONED TO PERFECTION. SALTED JUSTTTT RIGHT yum!! I wonder are they coated with a different seasoning blend than the cajun ribeye..because that would have blown my mind on my steak. Her potatoes and mac needed salt too.. we will be back for seafood next time! Over all good quality food. Good atmosphere. May ask for extra seasoning if I get...

Highly don't recommend. Me and my family went here due to rumors of great food. We were seated and told that it would be a 30-40 minute wait for the main meal. So we ordered an appetizer. Anyways, fast forward an HOUR we still did not have our food and we had watched customer after customer walk in to do a to go order and in 15 minutes walk out with their food. AND many tables had been served that they had come in after us. My dad just asked the waitress about how much longer on the food due to it being an hour (it was now 8:30PM). The waitress replied that there were two more tickets in front of ours....(there were no more customers there that had arrived before us) so my dad gave specific examples of tables that were served before us. She argued with him and said that they came in before us. We CLEARLY knew they had not. SHE CONTINUED TO ARGUE WITH HIM. We wasted 1 hour and 15 minutes on this place just to get treated with disrespect. So at 8:45 PM we paid for the appetizers, left and went to...
