| - I had high hopes for this little place. I love supporting small business but this one fell short. Here's a rundown. *There is very little parking here. It's next to a convenience store and although not all the spaces are marked, 3 of them are reserved for the store. The owners of the restaurant had to keep going outside to inform guests of this tidbit.
*The inside needs some polishing. A little investment in paint, matching tables and chairs and wall art would go a long way to make the place more inviting. There were children's placemats on the tables. You can get a set of 4 placemats at Ross for under $10. Another small investment to make the place more inviting. Bring the child mats out only when children are in the party.
*We had to eat at a table with a stranger. They have tables for up to 6 and tell you to sit wherever. It is awkward to break bread with people you don't know. I would suggest buying smaller tables which can be joined together as needed for bigger parties but small enough where you can eat with only your party.
*They do not have a soft drink dispenser. There is a table with bottles of 2 liter soft drinks to self serve. This poses a problem both around cleanliness and keeping drinks carbonated. I'm not a fan of random people putting their hands on a soda bottle. A patron isn't held to health department standards for cleanliness so I find this very unsanitary. Also, a couple of hours without the top securely fastened makes for flat sodas. For a place this small, it shouldn't be self serve in any case.
*The syrup on the table was covered with a sandwich bag, I assume, for freshness. There are containers specifically for syrup used in most restaurants. I would recommend investing in those instead.
*The cook and the cashier, who I assume were the owners, were friendly but lacked professionalism. They tried to please but they will need to learn to speak with people more tactfully.
*They had a live band. Nice touch but the place is very tiny so the band was too loud given the space. There was a lot of yelling and leaning in to communicate with people in your party.
*We had the chicken and waffle plate. The waffle was a bit too dense and lacked the fluffiness and sweetness waffles should have. Condiments, except for the syrup, were no where to be found. We found out halfway through our meal, hot sauce was an option. Grant you, we could have asked but it's a soul food joint. Hot sauce should be a given.
*I will say the chicken was good. It was juicy, well cooked and seasoned. The grease was clean so it didn't have the rancid taste fried food does when the grease is old. I do greatly appreciate this.
I hope this place takes up some of the suggestions and comments to heart. I would like to see this small business succeed.
