Rule #1 is location. If a Restaurant Location has been three places in the past there is a reason and then deck is already stacked against you. This location has been multiple things. Now is a Soul Food place.
Rule #2 - There were no cars in the parking lot, reason number two to avoid it. If people are not beating in the doors to eat there, then there is a reason. When we got inside there was no one in there either. There were only three people in the entire restaurant with over 10,000 tech employees within 2 miles of this place...empty. Myself and the two guys that I came with.
NOTE: The inside is clean but there was a bucket for a leak in the AC.
Rule #3 - Service - The women who finally got up to seat us from playing with her phone was nice but not "soul food" nice.
Rule #4 - Short Menu typically means smart chef....not in this case. The menu is short and that is a good start.
The Sweet Team is way too sweet. The table was sticky and the wood additions to the tops of the booths was not finished. The food took forever and was not warm when it came out.
Chicken & Waffles - This is not a wing dish! It's a chicken tender dish. You need to be able to cut up your tender and eat it with the waffle. So you took a really tasty idea and destroyed it in a few seconds. I can't even wonder what you all were thinking to make it a wing dish? How?
Fried Pork Chops - For $12 you would think they would have been thick cut and juicy except they were not. They were thin and dry and frankly slightly above room temperature.
Collards - They were old and tasteless.
Mac & Cheese - Way too much butter and old as well. The mac was extra soggy.
Corn Bread - You guessed it DRY as all hell.
BBQ Samich - Looked like something from a school lunch menu with it's scooped up meat and boring.
Banana Pudding - Looked like they put some sliced bananas with some pudding from a pudding cup and some whipped cream on it in a brandy glass that is hard to eat out of. Took them 10 minutes to make and just the same, boring!
The entire meal took forever to get to the table and then waitress did the old "boring worker" disappearing act the entire time.
So for a lunch there were 3 people in there and 2 guys did take out, that makes 5. Not only that it's soul food without any soul. It's like a bunch of people told someone to open a soul food restaurant and just read it out of a cook book. It's bad. Not even close to being soul food or good food. Won't be going back. I grew up in Savannah and this is nothing on the soul food meter....NOTHING! Total waste of $20 for a bad lunch.
