Flavaz Seafood & Soulfood Restaurant 1701 McFarland Boulevard East, Tuscaloosa, AL 35404

"We decided to try something new, and boy am I glad we did. I hadn’t been to the mall in years, so I had no idea this place even existed. This is not normal mall fare, this is “heart” and soul food. The owner came out to greet us, making sure we were enjoying our meal, which indeed we were. It’s clear he’s put his heart into his business, and takes pride in what he has to offer. I have only tried a couple of things so far, but I don’t hesitate to say that this is the best mac n’ cheese I’ve ever had, and the quality of the ingredients used on the FatBoi fries is outstanding. I look forward to returning on Sundays when the full menu is available. I can’t wait to try one of the seafood dishes."

"Absolutely delicious! Some of the best food and service I’ve ever had. We can’t wait to go back. That red velvet cake is so good it’ll make you slap yo mama"

"best food i have ever had in my life. best seasoning and they are so nice. i ate it up. Mrs ashley is the best"

"This establishment makes me feel like I am home. I am from Louisiana and now live here in Alabama. This is the ONLY place I can get good seasoned food; especially seafood. I have frequented this restaurant owned and managed by Ashley several times. People may complain about the price but believe you me…it is well worth it. Remember you pay for what you get. Quality, good service and good food. When I have my cravings. This is where I go. Food is always hot, staff is always friendly and service is always excellent. Get your seafood boil here, your soul food and feed your appetite."

"You must go. My son and I found this by happenstance and so glad we did. We were greeted with a warm welcome. Very friendly at the counter. Got the shrimp boil and it was so flavorful, but not overpoweringly spicy. Perfect! The Mac was excellent and next time we will try the soul food items from the hot bar. Not a fancy place. Prices were reasonable. They have specials all the time and Thursdays are college night (I think). Check these folks out. I am a food writer and I was impressed."
