| - My first and LAST time here!
As soon as I got here, I checked in on Yelp. This was my first time coming here and it said I earned a 50% off coupon. Right off the bat I KNEW they would try to find some way to skate out of letting me use the (first timers) Yelp coupon... and that's EXACTLY what they did.
You see, they have 3 eating 'times': Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner. Lunch ENDS at 3 PM. So, quite naturally, it should have been assumed by the 2 female waitresses that I WAS ORDERING DINNER as I arrived there at 4 PM... a whole HOUR AFTER 3 pm when lunch supposedly 'ended'. The coupon clearly said DINNER (see attached photo)... and that's exactly what time I was there for... DINNER... When I pointed out the Yelp coupon to the waitress, she said "Well, you got the lunch portion"... and THAT's how they avoided letting me use the coupon. Here's the problem though. AT NO POINT did either one of the 2 waitresses ask me if I was ordering lunch or dinner. And they shouldn't have to ask because I was clearly there DURING DINNER HOURS. When I asked her what the difference between 'lunch' and 'dinner' was... she basically said THE PORTION SIZE and THE PRICE. Ok, that's fine... but why on God's Green Earth would you bring me a lunch portion when lunch was clearly (according to your own menu) OVER MORE THAN AN HOUR AGO. She then elaborated on how "dinner can be ordered any time"... which begs the question (from anyone with a working brain), "If dinner can be ordered at any time, then WHY do you even have a 'dinner time'" ???
So, I ordered the grilled snapper plate.
Before the actual meal arrived, they gave us this sweet cornbread pancake. It was honestly the only surprisingly good thing about this place. The 2 sides I ordered along with my 'lunch plate' were red beans and rice, and greens.
The Grilled Red Snapper: The portion size was incredibly disappointing. I thought I would be getting a WHOLE snapper grilled... or at least a WHOLE FILET... NOPE! They literally gave me 1/4 of the size of fish. This little piece of fish they gave me could LITERALLY fit in the palm of my hand. The onions and peppers they put on top of the fish were bigger then the fish itself. I finished that little piece of crap in 4 bites! Although it tasted good, it had more of a Tex-Mex flavor to it than a Southern style, should food, or even New Orleans style flavor.... sheesh!
The Red Beans and Rice: I swear I think they poursed some Bush's beans (or 'some' type of canned beans) over some clumpy white rice. This didn't taste home-made AT ALL. It literally tasted like something out of a can. They even had those nasty little old meat chunks that you get in the can. They didn't even cook the rice right either. It was sticky and clumpy like one bog mushy ball.
The greens: This was bland as hell. No REAL seasoning whatsoever. I was wondering if these were 'turkey greens'... but here's the weird thing. I found a piece of a turkey bone at the bottom of the greens. Yet, there wasn't a single piece of turkey or peppers in the whole bowl. I wouldn't be surprised if this came out of a can as well. It had that 'canned greens' taste to it.
I LEFT THEM NO TIP! They weren't willing to honor a Yelp coupon that THEY set up... so I refuse to honor their crappy service and crappy food with a TIP. My suggestion to ANYONE reading this, is that, if you're looking for some REAL/GOOD soul food, try T.C.'s Rib Crib on Durango. They have good portion sizes, decent prices, better taste... and they don't need some crappy coupon scam to sucker you in. SHAME ON YOU GUYS AT Soul Food Café!
