| - This is more like a ZERO star downgrade... Easter Sunday, 1:45 p.m....We came in hungry for some fried chicken... everyone is dressed in their "Sunday Best" probably coming from church, and there were a few tables along the wall up front, but we get sat down in the back on a round small lounge table and are the only ones there.
Our waitress, Pearl seemed bothered, no smile, no acknowledgement, kept it short and took our drink orders. Comes back with our sweet teas and takes our order. Fried Chicken, all white meat for wifey, Fried Chicken, all dark meat for me.
This is not our first visit here...in fact, we recieved awesome service from waitress Shy on our last visit which was during dinner hours and we know that the hot corn cakes come usually after the drinks are dropped off as we wait for our fried chicken which usually takes at least 20 minutes. During our wait, we observe four other tables arrive after us in Pearl's station...
Service with a smile, drinks brought promptly, and corn cakes on every table. We still don't recieve any corn cakes.
"This is not right!?!?" Wifey says...Trying not to jump to conclusions, we wait and see that if our entrees come out first, then it's a problem.
6-8 minutes later, our entrees arrive, minus one wing from Wifey's order. Pearl says (her face looking at us and her body already walking away)that the chicken is coming but it takes time...last time I checked, a breast takes longer than a wing to cook!? We had to ask Pearl for our corn cakes, and reminded her TWO other times that we hadn't recieved Wifey's other piece of chicken, which she insists is coming.
Carefully digging into our food so we don't drop any plates off our small round table, all our sides are cool to room temperature, cornbread dressing was dry, as was the corn cakes, my chicken is barely warm and bland inside having to douse it with a lot of hot sauce,
wifey's chicken breast is dryer than dry, only eating her wing, and STILL not receiving her third piece!?!? "You know what?, just remove that third piece from our bill" wifey says having to flag Pearl down.
Is it because we were the only non-black people in there?
Is it my board shorts and flip flops I was dressed in, and not my "Sunday Best" because I helped baptize over 100 people of ALL possible races at our church since 9am that morning?
All Pearl could say was "Sorry about that", which was met with dead silence from us...within a 5 minute span, Pearl comes to our table THREE TIMES with "can I get you anything else?" (Chicken never came, drinks were never refilled, why would we want to ask you for anything else but our check?) Pearl received no tip for her uncalled for actions.
Denied an apartment because my Persian
roomate and I weren't white,
Put up in very dirty living conditions(didn't even last a day) because I wasn't a certain religion,
All eyes on me because I was the only brown skinned person in an all white restaurant,
I've been down this road before...I hope
everyone at M&M Soul Food get to read this....SHAME ON YOU AND YOUR DISCRIMINATING WAYS PEARL!!! Makes me sick to see that this kind of nonsense still exists. We won't ever step foot in here again...
