****CATFISH IS SWAI Should be called TJ’s Swai and Wings!

My husband had been wanting to try this place for quite awhile and went in yesterday.

Place was packed which of course sometimes can lead you to believe it must be pretty good.

Ordered 3 meat plate and Catfish.

He was so disappointed and disgusted by the taste, poor quality and misrepresentation of CATFISH with SWAI!! He contemplated talking to someone but it was so many people and it being a black owned business he just left the entire plate at the table and called to tell me of his experience.

We know it is hard to succeed and survive as a small business and especially a small Black owned business so he asked that I called to let the management be aware of his experience versus posting a review online. Which in reality would have been the better choice in this businesses case.

I called three times before speaking to someone. 1st time put on hold and then the phone hung up. The next two times it hung up each time they said please hold.

When I finally reached someone and explained the reason for my call the person identified himself as TJ. TJ is my main reason for writing the review and the second is my husband's complaint of the food.

As a business owner, when someone expresses their personal experience you don't say "No one ever says that" "or I have never heard anyone say they didn't like anything!" When obviously based on other reviews there are others who have also expressed their dissatisfaction of the food and/or its quality. He was very arrogant, disrespectful and condescending.

Mr TJ try listening and being humble and apologetic if someone contacts you directly about their personal opinion and experience. Great customer service and humility goes a long way as a business owner.

Just his entire tone and disposition in this situation (that was intended to be avoided and very well could have been avoided) took the complaint to an entirely different level.

I mentioned his false advertisement of CATFISH and asked him directly which he openly admitted was Swai. Some may not know any better but if you have ever eaten real catfish you will immediately know when you are eating Swai. Swai is ILLEGAL to sell in some states due to its significant amounts of failed inspections and health violations. It is also much less expensive than Catfish so to sell it as Catfish is harming and illegal. Customers are cheated when they pay for an higher price and quality of fish but instead receive a fish species of lesser value and quality.

The BbQ- brisket was full of fat and it all tasted boiled and then tossed around on the grill to elude to a bbq taste.

He did say the sides were "okay" in case you ever want some sides that are "okay" but best option is to get your meats and fish elsewhere!
