This place is trash …front girl worker had to be about 16 was very slow on the cash register…counting seemed little bit hard for her..she moves beyond slow & can’t handle more than one thing at a time.. I stood in line for 10-15 with only 2 other customers in front of me ! Mind you they called me & stated the food was ready 15 mins prior . Now lemme get started on the FOOD. STAY AWAY ! It’s giving “I just woke up 1 day & decided to open a restaurant” . I’m really curious as to where the cook got their culinary training from ? On paper a Puerto Rican soul food infusion is an amazing idea but there has to be execution & on that note failed miserably. You have to know how to be able to mix & blend flavors correctly & not rely on sofrito sauce to get you buy. Everything was bland tasteless …the MAC & cheese was beyond horrendous…just noodles dried up cheese & pepper! Salt non existent! Why are there over 60 menu items for such a small establishments. Focus on a few menu items & get those to perfection Overall I would stay away there much better quality of food in the area. The customer service is what really sealed the deal for me Wendy’s drive through at 1am moves faster then this place & that little big child they have working the register

I was near the area and wanted to give this place a try. I ordered online the southern baked chicken, collard and cabbage mix and yellow rice and it said about 30 to 40 minutes and it came to $14.66. I arrived at the restaurant about 20 minutes later and walked in and a few people were waiting. The nice young man Jay said it wasn't ready. As I waiting the line got longer and longer. I waited about 40 more minutes for my food. The wait was ridiculous and the communication was terrible. Yes the server was very nice but that wait will keep me from returning. When it was done I grabbed my food and uptown and left. As I drove home I drank some of the uptown and it was ok. When I got home and ate the baked chicken was good and so was the yellow rice. The collard greens and cabbage was a bit salty. All in all I only had an ok experience.

I ordered from The Weekend Spot during the pandemic in early 2022 and was just reminded of them from a social media post that I shared with a friend. The food was amazing. I had ordered the oxtail and grits and chicken and waffles for my daughter. I had never eaten grits before and wasn't a fan, but I gave it a try and couldn't be happier. My daughter raved about her chicken and waffles. The chicken was seasoned just right as well. I had ordered back to back that weekend. I was a turn-off for the owner to ask me why I was coming so much, like a woman can't take a break from cooking for the weekend. Nevertheless, I definitely have to try it again one of these weekends.
