Zoewee's — Restaurant in Charlotte

I came here about 2 years ago and couldn't wait to come back, the food was so good. Firstly it's a takeout place only, so don't expect the grandest of atmosphere, they could provide some seating since you will have to wait for the food. Hence, the one star for atmosphere. My order was taken by a young lady who could probably work on her customer service, she wasn't rude just lacked some tact when speaking to a customer. Being that there isn't a menu on display she should have handed me a menu before assuming I already knew it or whatever her thought process was. Anywho I ordered the cassava and rice with a side order of croaker. There is a wait, which I'm all for since I knew the food would be delicious, so expect a 20-30 min wait, have a light snack before going if you are starving. Got my food within the time stated. Ok firstly I was dying to get more of the croaker, I can't explain how delicious it is. So flavorful and cooked perfectly. If you have a problem with bones I don't recommend. I also recommend trying it with the hot sauce, it's really spicy, but I love spice and it was perfect together. As for the cassava, OMG, it's perfection. They have some of the best I've tasted outside of homemade, not too spicy, but if you prefer spicy like me add more hot sauce, it perfectly complements the cassava and adds a delicious smoky flavor. I can't wait to try more items...

I had been picking up orders here from a while. It’s located in a little plaza that is easy to pass and the restaurant itself it nothing to look at but the food had always been good and consistent. One thing to also note is unlike any other African/ Liberian restaurants, they do not change the meat. They only cook with smoked Turkey and chicken. I am not sure it the reason for this is to save themselves cost but it never really bothered me but just something to note. I hadn’t ordered from here for a couple of months and did so today. First of all, I know that everything and everyone charges more for everything these days but their online menus need to be updated and to reflect that. The meals were $10.99 a couple of months ago and now $13.96. When I asked the women on the phone the total, I was a little thrown back but proceeded with the order since I was craving palm butter . I will say I was very disappointed today with the food. It was extremely salty and pretty much inedible. I am not sure if they have a new cook but I saw a couple of more recent reviews say the same thing. I now hate to say that I am not interested in paying more for inedible salty food so today was my last order with this restaurant and in the hunt for a new African restaurant that I like and is consistent. I have a hard time finding a consistent one...

This was my all time favorite West African restaurant in Charlotte, for years. I will never go here again. Young people need to know how show up in a professional manner when servicing others. I called to place my order when I was 35 minutes away. Once I arrived, I walked in the restaurant to see it's take out only. This place was always bustling with customers in and out,with the owner greeting you as you walked in. I entered and the place was empty. A young girl strolls in and says hi, what's your name. She had on dirty clothes, a bonnet and was picking at something in her LONG nails. It was disgusting. I tell her my name and she ask me what was my order and what kind of rice... So, you didn't take my order on the phone?? I wait about 10 minutes and she comes to take my payment. My order came to $58 but I'm rummaging through my purse looking for my card. She just turns around and walks back into the kitchen. I finally find it and she comes from the back a few times never saying anything. That's when I began to read ALL of the other negative reviews. I just left. I have lost all respect for small business owners that just want to take your money in exchange for poor service, mediocre food and small portions. No integrity and no shame while completely taking...
