| - We can't give anything more than a 1 star. We hate feeling that way because we love to support local businesses. It might've been that we came on the wrong day but we weren't the only unhappy patrons there. Since we've moved to Phoenix, we have really been craving soul food. And the reviews have led us here first.
To start off, we walked in and the first thing was the smell. Just got done cleaning maybe? But it shouldn't smell like you're reusing the water or rag or whatever it is that you're using to clean.
As we are looking at the menu on the wall, the chef walks up to the front and hands us the menu & informed us that the guy taking our order will be right back. (He was across the street buying ice for the soda machine). Shouldn't this have been taken care of before you open? We were there for 15 minutes waiting for him to come back when the chef finally decides to put our order in first. So we're sitting & waiting & still waiting. For a very long time. The guy with the ice finally comes back & fills the machine & heads to the back. A woman then walks in & heads back there as well. Now we are a little less agitated, given that the chef finally has help, maybe our food would be out sooner. By the way, the other patrons were there before us and had been sitting down & looked comfortable when we walked in. Anyways, needless to say, almost 40 minutes later, the food comes out for both tables. Ours came first even though they were there way before us. Now at this point we were both thinking, this better be the best damn food in town considering it just took 3 people almost an hour to prepare. Nope. We were so wrong. My face definitely showed. And we figure the other couple thought the same because they just packed up the food & left. I tried the platter with a little bit of everything, porkchop, catfish & fried chicken. With Mac & cheese & greens for my sides. Far from soul food & left a pretty bad taste in our mouth. The catfish was powerfully salty. The chicken was tremendously greasy & you can certainly tell the grease was not properly cleaned. The porkchop was dry & more breading than meat. Now I love spicy and the greens were spicy. Too spicy because we couldn't taste the greens. Not good. So far everything is just upsetting me more and more & at this point I just want to go. We just spent $55 for not even mediocre food. He ordered catfish dinner with 2 sides of mac & a Waffle that never came because they said it kept burning. How do you burn a Waffle using a wafflemaker? So they packed our Waffle and sweet potato pie togo. We never left a restaurant ready to go to another but we were starving. We had to decide though because we just spent $55, so we would just have to settle for something cheap and fast. Smh.
Before we left, the guy that went and got the ice comes out and ask how the food was. I, on one hand couldn't say anything because It wasn't going to be nice. My husband however wanted them to feel good. I wanted to punch him because he lied and that's not helping them if he lied and said it was good. He proceeded to tell us that he had just got back to the restaurant and that he use to be the cook. He knows the food wasn't good and next time he'll be sure he is the one cooking. I was shocked. So you know the food was bad and still served us but more shocked because he came out talking bad about his coworker. That's not a good look. Even worse, the chef comes out 2 minutes later & apologized for the wait & also apologized for the food & that next time we come, it will be better! You guys could only imagined my face at this point. So you also knew we didn't enjoy the food and still took our money. Shame. Oh but he wasn't done. He then proceeded to inform us that he was working with 2 adults that acted like children. That he was better off by himself. Double shocked!!!! They are in there just bashing each other behind one another's back. SMHx2.
We said thank you & we left. Walked up to the car and trying to decide where to go eat because we were starving. We got in the car and decided to try the pie & waffle. Oh to my horror, the pie filling looked like it came out of a can. And the pie crust wasn't all the way ready. I was sick looking at it but I tried the filling and bad, it was bad. On to the waffle. My husband opened the boxed & just threw up his arm & asked me WTF IS THIS? They still managed to give us a burnt one. But of course, we tried it anyways & yes, it was the absolute worst Waffle in history. It actually made the food look really good. We were really disappointed and only hoped this is not a daily occurrence. Needless to say, we gave our dog the food. Even though she ate it, I don't trust her because she drinks out the toilet & loves to sniff butt.
