A Table For 8A Table For 8
True review for Central Market Kicthen inside the liquor store. I went on Feb 13th. The cook asked us not to blast them on social media to come to her first if it wasn’t good. Well it wasn’t and her excuse is the over flux of customers bc of the social media post. She can’t keep up it’s one person that can cook. What irritates me is that she said the social media post is the reason for the inconsistency basically. But you had about 3 more popular influencers come and all their food was good??! How when a regular customer comes you have an excuse. The greens taste earthy like she just put them in the pot NO SEASONING. But everything we had that day was horrible. As pictured we got oxtails, fried chicken wings, sweet potatoes, collard greens and mac and cheese. All the food we had was horrible I do not recommend. Also it took over an hour to get “fresh” food.

I brought an oxtail dinner. The oxtail was mostly fat, there were 3 bones, one with zero meat nor fat literally the bone. Only 1 of the 3 was even edible. I took it back, (the I’m guessing owner) says he saw nothing wrong with them, said the 3rd bare bone was a “bonus”. Giving the benefit of doubt I took smothered pork chops instead. Not gone lie my greens was a lil stiff but my food after the switch was not bad. Pork chops and mac were good. This bad review is service based because service was poor. I would have left it alone until I see the cashier lied when I asked whether there was money’s owed. I swapped oxtails for pork chops. The owner guy watched the cashier tell me they were the same price. Whole time oxtails $21, pork chops $17. Will not return, don’t recommend.

This convenient store is nothing at all what I expected when I walked in. It is so clean, neatly designed, and welcoming. The store has a cool aesthetic with very modern aisles and cooler sections. The variety of wine and food offerings is grand! The mural when you first walk in to the right is very creative! The restaurant offers so many tasty choices. The cooking staff and convention staff were very welcoming and answered all my questions when ordering. We really enjoyed the freshness of the catfish and the smothered pork chops, which were cooked fresh to order. The sides were somewhat bland, but they were still pretty good. We will definitely be back in to try more of their menu. Thank you 💚

I have purchased several dinners from your establishment spending pretty much well over a couple of $100 but today this evening I purchased the barbecue chicken dinner and my sides were macaroni and cheese and yams I never thought that anyone could ever ruin barbecue and or baked chicken my chicken was rock hard the meat is yellow the yams were black the macaroni and cheese was dry and the one thing I always get is your peach cobbler always very very good tonight it was horrible cold bitter so I think this will be my last time getting any day from your location.

This afternoon (July 27,2025) I returned to Central Kitchen and spoke with Chef Charles regarding the above review. Upon entering I was PLEASED to see that Chef Charles was working. I open up the bag of food that was severed to me the evening before. Chef Charles examined the contents and immediately he was apologetic. I will not go into all of the discussion between the two of us, BUT I WILL SAY THIS. CHEF CHARLES IS A MAN OF INTEGRITY AND GOD FEARING With that I will patronize Central Kitchen again.. I will give Central Kitchen...

DON'T ORDER SOUL FOOD FROM HERE!! EVER! Whew chile, where do I start! I ordered fried catfish with two sides. My side selections were candied yams and BAKED spaghetti. The catfish was definitely old, and the grease the fish was fried in was old as well. Anddd SALLTAYYYY! But I stayed optimistic because there is no way a person can mess up baked spaghetti!!! WRONG! The spaghetti tasted like they used canned sauce OR RAGU with too much sugar. I literally had heartburn from two bites. And baby let me tell you, if that was baked spaghetti then I'm a got dang MILLIONAIRE. Because that spaghetti didn't even GLANCE at a oven!

Now the candied yams was the only redeeming thing about this terrible meal. And they were SUBPAR at best. Please read the reviews and take your money where they cook the food to SATISFY...
