I really really wanted to love this place since I saw they have fried okra. This review is based only on that and the potato salad because its all I tried. The potato salad was the traditional kind with tiny bits of pickle, egg, mayo, and mustard. It was very fresh and tasty.
Now the disappointment. The okra had a cornmeal breading that was actually pretty well seasoned. Unfortunately, even AFTER asking specifically they make it extra crispy, the breading looked identical to what it probably looked liked before it was 'fried' and was falling off the okra. Real fried okra is crispy, appropriately greasy and the breading sticks to the okra. it was also apparently applied with a sledgehammer because I had almost a full takeout box of it left over.
what I don't understand is how they guy did not see the sheer disappointment on my face when he opened the box for me to check it and clearly, was not made to order. if you don't want to do that, just tell me and I will take my business elsewhere. I will wait a few extra minutes no problem if needed. Obviously not much concern for repeat customers. I will add I was the only customer in there so you think the effort would have put forth to make it right.
