| - Four of us retired people went to lunch today at The Anointed One. What a pleasant experience! I give it five stars for doing just what it intends to do: serve delicious soul food to its patrons. I had not been there since long ago when the site was an Indian restaurant. I was very pleasantly surprised by the tasteful remodeling job that had been done. The restaurant was very neat and extremely clean as well. We were helped by a super-friendly wait person who was the daughter of the owner/cook. The menu was extensive and it was difficult to choose what to order. Our waitress was extremely patient (cheerfully so!) with our many questions and caveats (at our ages, there are many no-nos and some dislikes!). We finally settled on our orders, three of us ordering the Thursday special which was fried chicken and the trimmings. We really enjoyed the chicken and all the sides we chose (from a very large menu of sides!). The chicken was fried just right, very crisp. The chicken and all the sides were very hot. We enjoyed the collard greens, yams, mac and cheese, onion rings, cole slaw. (and cornbread) The price was very reasonable and I took half of my meal home. I did not have room for dessert but the others enjoyed apple upside down cake and banana pudding. I had a spoonful of each and can vouch for their quality and deliciousness! There were quite a few desserts offered and all are made in house. You can taste that. We learned that on every other Sunday night, seafood gumbo is offered. I am looking forward to returning for that! Before we planned this outing, I had read a few negative reviews about the restaurant (about the service, attitude, and unavailability of foods on the menu). We found the service to be outstanding, the attitude unmatched. They could not do enough for us and checked often to be sure we were "happy" and taken care of. There was only one thing they were out of today, the macaroni salad in the very long list of sides was out. No problem for us! If you want to try home-cooked soul food in a warm and coddling atmosphere, hurry over to The Anointed One!
We are a lunch group that meets weekly and have tried many dozens of restaurants in Madison and the surrounding area over the last 10 years. I can't think of any place where we have received a warmer welcome. Several of our members were not able to come today--too bad for them!
We arrived later than usual today, oneish. I was pleased to see that some people were coming in steadily all afternoon even though lunchtime was well past. These people deserve to be well patronized! I wish them well!
