| - First and foremost, I want to write about the Poetry on First Friday from 7/7. There was a poet there. She reminded me of actress Samira Wiley. I didn't get her name, but I hope she reads this. I liked her poem. It was about regretting saying "I Love You" in the heat of "the moment" when you didn't really mean it. I liked her words. I think she's good. She just needs to slow down, and recite it with the passion in which she wrote it. I'm sorry she didn't get the reaction she wanted from the crowd. In all honesty, the dinnertime family rush is probably not the most appreciative crowd for her genre. She talked about grown-up subject matter in a crowd of parents and kids. It understandably made them uncomfortable. To the poet, please keep at your art! Find a better venue, but definitely don't give up.
So, the food was great. Nothing fancy, but definitely satisfying. My husband got a bacon burger, and he didn't complain, which is HUGE for him. My 5 year old had never had banana on a pb&j, and he loved it. He's been asking for them ever since. The other kiddos ordered mac and cheese, and loved it.
I had the chicken and waffles, and what's not to love? And, you can't go wrong with Kool-aid.
Great atmosphere. Great for kids. I would stick to dining during daylight hours at this location. There was a not-so-undercover cop posted up right in front. I mean, I felt safe inside, but the neighborhood is a little skeevy.
