Pluto's Café — Restaurant in North College Hill

Saw the mixed reviews and it made me nervous but I tried it anyway. The fish SLAPPED, as the kids today would say. It was well seasoned, not too salty and fried HARD. Yay! The yams were pretty good and not runny. People have a tendency to NOT know how to properly cook yams. They use too much water, when yams are full of water themselves and need just a small amount and not to be saturated and lose flavor. The greens? Chopped too uniform like. These do not look hand cut, they aren't canned but they aren't rolled and hand cut. They are still good. Now, on Doordash, you can't order cornbread but in store and on their direct site, you can. I took the liberty of making my own corn cakes, as you can see in the picture. I'm glad they do offer cornbread though, despite the Doordash issue. Too many restaurants scream "Soulfood" or "Southern" in this area BUT don't serve cornbread. The sides are HUGE. That's a plus. I ate on this meal 3 times.

They also sent me a free side of Okra. I sincerely appreciate it. I LOVE okra.

I know I was long-winded but hey... lol.

I will be back.

Edit: So, I'm confused now. Apparently, their in house menu doesn't offer cornbread anymore. Y'all can correct me in the reviews if need be but I will leave my review up until...

I've ordered food from this restaurant several times after I discovered them on DoorDash. My favorite meal is the Fried Whiting, green beans, and Mac and Cheese. The Mac and Cheese isn't the best I've ever tasted, but it's cool. For dessert, I LOVE their peach cobbler. It is good every time I order it.

The reason that I am giving them a 3-star review is because the last time I ordered from them (walked in and placed a to-go order), the portion sizes had dramatically decreased. The prices were the same as they had always been, but the fish portion was literally just about cut in half. I couldn't believe how thin the fish pieces were. The size of the sides (the small styrofoam cups) remained the same, and I learned that they only have the peach cobbler sometimes because whomever makes it does not make it every day (it isn't quite seasonal, it is just hit and miss, it seems). I was very disappointed in the massive decrease in the size of the fish, so I haven't been back since. I know many restaurants are serving smaller portion sizes but this is dramatic and it hurt my...

I ordered the four piece chicken dinner and and was incredibly upset once I opened my styrofoam dish. All four pieces of the chicken was burnt and dry, wasn't hot and was so enedible that I just threw the entire dish in the trash. The best thing about the dish was the unseasoned green beans. The beans and rice was the absolute worst as it was served cold and also unseasoned. I totally wasted $14.99 on this mess and if it wasn't for the fact that I just came from dialysis and needed my rest, I would have brought the food back and demanded an immediate refund. I try to support community establishments but, this is one I'll NEVER return for service... This is a sad excuse and example of a neighborhood food establishment.. UOU HAVE...
