The folks working the counter are dolls, and the food was incredible. Got the baked chicken, stuffing, green beans and banana pudding all for $15!!! Totally worth the money.

We stopped to get Sunday lunch on our trip home. The food was hot, home-cooked and delish!! Much better than any “fast-food”!!

I wish I had taken a photo of the food but I devoured it before I even remembered.... The service was impeccable, everyone was so welcomeing and the entire time we where here people were coming in and out so you know it's the place to be.

I happen to come across this place when looking for somewhere close to my daughter's school. I checked it out on Facebook and once I showed my husband it was a go. Man the service was amazing from the moment you open the door, I love when folks act like they want my money, lol. I ate off the buffet, it was sooo good. My family got cook to order food. Everything was flavorful and fresh. We had plenty and all left with leftovers. The red velvet cake was moist and perfect. This will definitely be our go to when we're in town.

I heard about this place from a family member and this is my first time eating here and it was great. The food was great. The service is great. The atmosphere was great. I loved everything about this place. The ladies at the front counter were very Friendly and nice would definitely go back here again! Also, this is a great place if you’re In the town of Orangeburg and looking to get some really great seafood, I encourage you to stop on by and see for yourself.

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!

If you KNOW me, you know I don’t hand out food compliments easy… and Southern food spots? Baby… I’m picky picky. So when I tell you this place PUT. THEY. FOOT. IN. IT. I mean that with my whole chest. 😄 While visiting family in my husband’s hometown, one of the cousins said we had to try Taste the Flavors. I actually had to convince my husband to skip the local BBQ joint and come here instead… and let me tell you — BEST decision of the trip. No contest. From the moment we walked in, it felt like home. The sides alone?? Lawwwd. Green beans, collards, black-eyed peas, cabbage, butter beans — all seasoned like somebody’s grandma was back there tasting every pot. Not bland. Not “cafeteria-ish.” REAL flavor. The kind that tastes like Sunday dinner after church. And don’t even get me started on the rice options… Yellow rice, rice & peas, white rice, AND that pork perlo rice?? Whew. Super savory, full of flavor, and I heard they rotate it with chicken and turkey versions too. You already know I had to try a scoop. Ms. Teresa took such good care of us — and come to find out she knew half my husband’s family! Felt like we were eating with cousins, not at a restaurant. And fun little full-circle moment… this building and the car wash stalls next door used to be my husband’s grandma’s laundromat and car wash. So being there felt extra special. Like history + good food = heart full. Now let’s talk proteins because BABYYYYY… They did NOT come to play: Fried pork chops Curry goat Oxtails Beef stew Baked chicken Fried chicken Pork ribs Hamburger steak in gravy Roast turkey wings Even stewed chicken feet (for the real ones 😂) And every single tray looked like somebody’s auntie cooked it with love. But here’s what REALLY sent me over the edge… The seafood. Cooked. To. Order. Fresh oysters. Shrimp. A big selection of fish. Not sitting under a heat lamp either — they drop it fresh when you order. Hot, crispy, seasoned just right. Or Grilled or steamed Just as you LOVE

Stumbled upon this restaurant and so glad I did! All of the staff are super friendly as soon as you walk in the door. The food was well seasoned and portions were on point. I had turkey wings, rutabaga and green beans. Finger licking good! So yourself a favor and get an amazing plate of soul food!
