Food should not be left out at room temperature for more than 2 hours, unless it is kept hot or cold. If the temperature is above 90 degrees Fahrenheit, the safe holding time is reduced to 1 hour.

My husband and I purchased food around 3:30 Thursday 2/20/25. He had turkey wings, cabbage, corn and cornbread. I had the bottom of the barrel beef tips with rice, greens, candied yams and cornbread. Of course they give hefty portions, so there’s always leftovers. My husband became very ill from food poisoning Thursday night and is still recovering. I just got a bad stomach ache. The food wasn’t fresh and sat out too long on the serving line. I threw the leftovers away Friday morning. I think the food is prepared somewhere else and transported to the restaurant. The times I’ve gone there they are never cooking food. This is the first time we’ve ever gotten sick from eating here. And will definitely be the last time. If they open at 11a.m., they should not be serving the same food in a cafeteria line at 3:30. I’m really saddened by this incident because we would often frequent this restaurant sometimes on Sundays after church. Just be cognizant with what you select from their menu, as well as the time of the day you purchase your food.
