really want to like this place...and honestly the food is okay, I would give it a 4.5.
I was really excited to find another soul food resturaunt because they are so hard to find in Arizona and it's down the street from work so that even sweetened the pot. I'm basically going to list the pros and cons of this place.
Pros:
-Free/ convenient parking
-Quality food 4/5 ( 4 because my fried pork chop was SUPER salty and my neck bones were not seasoned enough)
- Very friendly staff
- small mom and pop restaurant ( not a chain, so the location still has that homey feeling)
Cons:
-SERVICE ( there is something DEFINITELY left to be desired)- I've been here twice and both times my order was made incorrectly... 1) a coworker and I placed an order.. we pick it up to find they placed my fried pork chop with her sides and her smothered pork chop with my sides. Instead of offering to fix it, they told us to just swap everything around ourselves. So messy! 2) I ordered neck bones with cabbage and yams as a side and a separate side of yams for someone else. I pick it up and there are 2 sides of yams in my container...keep in mind one was for someone else. Before fixing it the argued back and fourth a bit and asked me if I clarified over the phone that it was for someone else....I DID, I even asked her if she understood to put it in separate containers and she said yes. Obviously not.
-somewhat over priced.
All in all I really want to support this place... a homeless man around 19, walked in and said he was down on his luck and wanted to know if they could help him out. The owner (I'm guessing) told him to have a seat, she asked what he wanted to drink, went to the kitchen and returned with a full plate of food for him. It's not often that people express this amount of kindness for someone that can't do anything for them in return.
So I would give the food a solid 4 and the service a 3...making that a 3.5...but since 1/2's don't exist on yelp I will give it a 4. With better service this place could be amazing!
