Oooooweeeeeeeeee….. let me start with that word first!! My friend and I drove there yesterday (so you know it’s good when I go ahead and write the review … lol). So we decided to get there for 12pm (at their opening time on Sunday). When we arrived, there was already a line of people. No sweat. We will wait for good (and I saw a grocery store next to it… lol… so I was in heaven). We got in line at 12:07pm. We waited and then they started letting people in (little by little so that it doesn’t get too overcrowded). I had already reviewed the menu so when we finally got our order taken around 12:50, I ordered the catfish nuggets with sweet potatoes and Mac. My friend ordered fish and shrimp combo with collards and Mac. The young lady taking orders even asked her would she prefer catfish or swai (woooooooooo… wait…. Can you all recommend all places do this? Lol… because I only eat catfish). Anyhow…. We were told it would take 25-30 minutes for fried food. Me, personally, I don’t care about waiting on fresh food…. I will wait an hour if I have too… as long as I wait and I get some hot food. When we received our orders, the young lady bagging the food had the BEST customer service (young lady with the baby photo on her chain). Then the young lady that took our order and one of the other ladies suggested drinks they prefer… I’m soooo glad I went with the order takers suggestion because I don’t like fruit punch (in the code red’s drinks). My friend got code red and said it was delicious 😋 Chile…. They aren’t afraid to place the hot food in one bag and cold items in separate bag 👏! Teach these “chained restaurants” a thang or two (yep, I meant a thang, not thing lol). When I got back to the car, we couldn’t help but stop and take photos first! We ate IN THE CAR… and boyyyyyyyy…. Was it good!!! My friend kept saying she was glad I picked this place to try and that we MUST Come back! I’m not sure about the other reviewers but the Mac was Mac’in, the sweet potatoes were sweet’in and the batter on our food was lord have mercy GOODDDDD!! I’m a southern girl so I like flavor, I love seasoning and I approve them!! A STAMP of approval. The juice was juice’in!! On top of all that, that banana pudding… lord…. Lord… I went back in JUST to purchase more banana pudding and decided to get a cake too!! When I walked back in the ladies immediately asked what had been wrong with my food (but in a nice and caring, concerned manner). THAT’S customer service!!Let me just say WE WILL BE BACKKKKK!!!
Last but NEVER least (because we save the best statement for last)- it’s a black owned and established business that is CLEAN and has great service!! Granted, I eat at any place (as long as they don’t appear on dirty dining 😂 and they offer the food I like) but I love to shot out these establishments that have to sometimes work twice as hard for recognition! Chef, you “put your whole food in there and left it!” I made sure to tell the ladies everything was good because great praise is just as worthy as criticism!! Check them out!!
