| - I decided to thumb through all of the reviews before posting my own because for one, I wanted to see what everyone else ordered that had this restaurant rated an average of four stars and two, it was imperative that I see how many Black faces were eating there because what "I" was served had absolutely NO seasoning. It was chicken. It's engrained in Black DNA not to do bland. How do you even think to cook chicken and not even put your finger on the damn seasoning cabinet? That in and of itself was disrespectful.
For clarification, I visited here because my "friends" on Facebook said that it was the place to go. I put friends in quotes because clearly I need to reexamine this list if they'd ever recommend a place that didn't even pinch the salt for their fried chicken. I had the sage chicken and waffles. I think they just called it sage-y because they wanted to be able to charge you for putting that lone a** piece of sage on your plate for decoration because you d*mn sure couldn't taste it. I guess you're supposed to bite the chicken and then eat one of the sage leaves...kind of a do your own blending thing? I dunno. They also said that the waffles were made with bacon in it. The waitress swore that this dry bread with bacon bits (no, for real....the joints you put on a salad) was "amazingly good." Lies. She. Told.
I will say that they DO give really large portions. Two people could easily split the chicken and waffles and leave the restaurant with a full belly without issue. But the food itself (and my waitress*) left a lot to be desired.
Oh, the fries were good (I ended up eating this because of the disrespect to my person with the water flavored chicken). Speaking of water...the water was DISGUSTING. I'm not sure if it's the pipes in Vegas but it just "tasted" filmy. Also, don't order tea in Vegas and think it's gonna be sweet like we do in the south. I seriously wanted to flip all the tables over in that restaurant when I tasted that peach tea that was literally brown water with a half a squirt of unsweetened peach flavoring.
Waitress: oh it's not sweet to you?
Me: not at all.
Waitress: the peach is what adds the sweetness.
Me: y'all must've made it with some out of season peaches then.
Anyway, two thumbs down for me. My plate was gross, unseasoned, couldn't enjoy the water, and I'm mad that Vegas still hasn't taken a queue from the south when it comes to sweetening tea.
* = our waitress didn't come back to check on us, didn't offer to refill any drinks on the table, and we had to look for her when we were ready for our check. Again, I'm not sure what food or service everyone else received but my own definitely wasn't worth more than 2 stars (which I left only because the fries were really good. I love fries).
