  • Ugh...I just don't see it!!! WHAT "REAL" SOUTHERN FEEL IS EVERYONE SAYING THEY GET FROM STEPPING INTO THIS PLACE?!?! My husband and I just left this place highly disappointed! So my husband who was hyped about this place (because some other people hyped him about this place) so we decided to give it a try since it wasn't too far. It's tucked away off to the W. Warm Springs side of Alberton's...walking in I instantly did not like it. INSTANTLY. It is a small establishment so the minute we walked in we had to walk around a large group that was seated right in front of the door...who does that? I can barely hear any of the ladies greeting us and my husband sure as hell didn't hear them tell us we can sit anywhere we'd like because we stood in front of the register like dummies. Well hello to y'all too! When we finally figured out we could seat ourselves one of the ladies came over and handed us the menu...she was bleh as a server so whatever. But enough but about her. We opened the menu and I know my husband was thrown off by the PRICES!!! His statement, "Soooo...this place is more expensive than Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles. It better blow my fucking mind!" We wanted to use the Yelp check-in offer for 50% off of a 2nd dinner when you buy a dinner. So we chose something off of the "Dinner" section of the menu. We ordered 2 fountain drinks at $2.89 each! (Fucking expensive for a fountain drink that comes filled with nothing but ice even if the damn refills are free)...2 orders of chicken and waffles priced at $11.25 each, which we thought was a fair price for "dinner". We were first served the cornbread cake...which was good but nothing special...you can get this (same flavor and all) from any soul food restaurant. Then the OWNER brings me my food which I thought was nice. So I got 3 pieces of chicken on one large plate with swirls of grease decorating the plate here and there and a separate plate for the waffle and syrup. I. Was. NOT. Impressed. The presentation of the food didn't even look appetizing and the portions are ridiculously small!!! I sucked it up and didn't want to complain to my husband since he was so hyped about this place. He gets his 3 pieces of chicken on a large plate and we wait for his waffle. I'm not a rude-ass and would never eat if the rest of my party hadn't gotten their food...so we BOTH wait. It took them a few minutes to realize we weren't eating and why we weren't eating and finally one of the waitresses saw and went back to grab his waffle. Thanks. I nibbled on the chicken first and realized it tasted exactly like the seasoning that come in the Wai Wai MaMa noodles packages I get from the Asian store. Smh. It was ok...I was just expecting so much more. The waffle was toooooo soft. It just wasn't right. It wasn't a waffle. But the syrup for the waffle was tastey so it kinda made up for the texture of the waffle. So we finish eating and get the bill...it came out to $30.57. I asked if we can use the Yelp offer for the dinner...they said NO..."because we didn't order dinner." Well that's mighty strange, given that the meal we ordered was listed under the "Dinner" section in the menu. I didn't want to cause a scene...we just decided to never return...and I mean never...not even for a second chance. Hubs didn't want to leave a tip...but I asked him to leave an $8 for the server that helped us the 2nd time around at least...She was very attentive and polite. So that one star is for her and only her. Here's the breakdown: Southern Ambience: 0 Food presentation: 0 Flavor: 2 (and that's for the cornbread cake) Food Portion: -2 Cost: -2 Southern Hospitality: 1 (for the 2nd waitress) Crowd: -10 For that rude-ass lady cackling next to us. (But the restaurant has nothing to do with that) All around score: JUST GO SOME PLACE ELSE. ***SIDE NOTE: No Roscoe's out here but Hash House A Go Go has a great chicken and waffle plate...yes it's expensive also...no it's not a soul food restaurant... but at least the portions are GINORMOUS, FLAVORFUL and worth every single penny.*** PS...I wonder if the owner has someone else review and edit her responses before posting them to Yelpers...these responses that I have read so far come across very rude, entitled and always unapologetic... you should work on that and all the above...just my opinion.
