I am truly amazed with how many people gave this place 5 stars!!! I've gone here twice. My first time was at the previous location and my second was at its new location. My first experience was ok. I had the turkey chops which I enjoyed and I also enjoyed the muffins and my appetizer (soul rolls). On the other hand my husbands meal was not good at all. He got the smothered fried chicken and it was so much grease on the chicken that it made me want to throw up just looking at it. He said it tasted awful as well. The yams had no flavor! Our waitress was very nice and did an awesome job of telling us what was the most popular things on the menu. I think what threw me off the most was the mason jars of Kool-aid! I can't remember how much they charged for this but if you are trying to portray yourself as an upscale restaurant I don't think selling me a jar of Kool-aid is NOT going to convince me! I can buy 2 packs of Kool-aid for $1...not a good look!
Now on to my second visit. I had high expectations for the new location. I was pleased while I was at the bar waiting for our table to get ready. We were seated and a nice lady came to our table and introduced herself as our waitress. Nice is about all this woman was because she was a terrible waitress. She took forever to come back to our table after the initial introduction. While waiting, I was looking at the menu and was shocked that they did not get rid of the Kool-aid, even after they upgraded their restaurant smh. They also had beef shank on the menu...really??? That's like the cheapest beef someone could eat and it's on their menu and costs the same thing as everything else (unbelievable).
When our waitress finally came back we ordered our appetizer and our meals. I also asked her could she bring us our corn muffins and she said yes. She disappeared again and finally came back with our appetizer and our food at the same time smh. Just because we ordered them at the same time it didn't mean we wanted them to come to the table together! She also forgot to bring the muffins. I had the fish and I can't remember my husbands entree. My fish was overcooked and our Mac and cheese tasted like someone pour a ton of salt in it! It was disgusting. We didn't come close to finishing our meals. When our disappearing waitress returned she just took our plates without asking why didn't we eat it, and she never came back while we were eating to check on us so we could tell her our meals were not good. I then asked her about the muffins and she apologized and came back with them not long after and we ordered dessert to go. She took forever to come back with the dessert as well. She brought us our check and we still gave her a good tip; I think because she was much older and nice. She took the tab back and immediately opened it up to see how much we tipped her (so unprofessional). When she came back with our dessert we couldn't wait to leave! Got home and ate the dessert later and it was disappointing as well. I ordered the sweet potato pie and I received 2 spoonfuls of what I guess came from a slice of pie! I should've looked at it before I left because if I'm not mistaken the "slice" of pie cost $5 which is already overpriced so to not even get that is absurd!!!
I will never go back to this place! I like real upscale restaurants and not pretend upscale restaurants!
