5-Star Flavor Explosion!
So let me start by saying--first impressions are lasting, and Red Flavors Table In did NOT disappoint! I rolled up thinking we were heading to a dine-in spot for a chill midday breakfast, and surprise! It's actually a takeout-style location. BUT don't let that fool you--the food here is next level.
There is some indoor/outdoor seating, but just know your food comes in a takeout bag, and you seat yourself. That said... BABY, LISTEN--the food was worth every bite and then some.
I'm a NOLA girl born and raised, and I'm very picky about my shrimp and grits. My husband ordered them, and I took a bite... then another... and let's just say, this was hands-down the BEST shrimp and grits I've had in California--no exaggeration. The shrimp were juicy, well-seasoned, and the grits? Creamy and smooth, just how I like 'em.
I had the catfish and hot links--catfish was perfectly crisp on the outside and moist inside. The links were grilled with that just-right char for a smoky kick. And everything was seasoned like someone's auntie from the 7th Ward was back there throwing down.
I came in ready to judge--because let's be honest, it's hard to find real Louisiana flavor out here--but Red Flavors brought the heat, the heart, and the soul. I hear they have another location that's more dine-in, and I'm already plotting on it. The pics don't even do it justice. If you're craving something that tastes like home, or just dang good Southern food--run, don't walk.
