But honestly I meant,mean every single word. Please support this Black own business it's will always be worth your time and money....

Good food is just what the doctor ordered! LOL. I had a taste for some dressing, greens, and Mac n cheese. I started looking up Soul Food Restaurants in the area. I located Roy's. I didn't know what to expect since I had never eaten here before. I've also not eaten any beef, pork, nor chicken for close to 2.5 months. I just knew this would be a difficult chore finding a soul food restaurant that offered a veggie option. Well I was pleasantly surprised! They offer a veggie plate with a choice of 3 sides from a list of about 10 soul food favorites. I ordered dressing, greens, mac and cheese, and pinto beans with rice and cornbread. OMG! Absolutely delicious! Definitely "homemade" and nice portion sizes. The prices are awesome! Much tastier than a few other more "popular and extremely crowded" soul food restaurants in the city. With COVID, there is no in dining available. But that's fine for me. I can pick up and go. The only draw back is there is very minimal parking and you must be aware that the parking lot across the street will tow your car if you park there. I will definitely return. In fact I will probably order a veggie plate tomorrow. (Smiles)...

I was stoked to try their food until I walked in and wasn’t greeted at all while standing directly in front of the cashier. I was misinformed about their hours of operation and went near closing time. The cashier was super annoyed because it was near closing and I assume she was ready to head home. However a simple “sorry we are closed” or just simply taking my order would have sufficed. Instead she had to be coerced by a fellow employee not just take my order but to even acknowledge me. I decided to overlook her unprofessionalism and still support until she rushed me by saying “you better hurry up because we're actually closed” with more attitude. After I decided to just eat elsewhere and leave. While I walking out she yelled to her fellow employs “we caught a blessing!!!” I was confused because I didn’t consider losing money and a possible returning customer “A blessing”. I wanted to love this place but I didn’t make it that far due to the less than subpar...
