POOR Customer Service: My colleague called to place an order to be picked up and the manager told her "You're not done. I hate group orders. I have a line in front of me." 2.Once my colleague arrived the same guy told her "I was about to give your food away--you're late." Once my colleague returned to work we discovered that an ordered item was missing. The receipt reflected she'd paid for it. She called to report this and indicated that I'd arrive between 3:15 and 3:30 to pickup the item and provided my name. No apology was given to my colleague. I arrived at the restaurant at 3:22 p.m. and provided my name and the item I was picking up. STILL NO APOLOGY WAS GIVEN. I was told "Okay, hold on a minute." One young man was talking and packing a bag of food while another waved a customer to get out of their car to come in to collect food. After 5 minutes, I asked "Is the dirty rice actually ready or are you preparing it?" The response was "It's right here" pointing to a to-go container on the counter and then placing it in a bag without a single 'sorry about that' or 'we apologize for the wait'.

LOW QUALITY Food:

Chicken tasted as if it were fried in the same oil used for chicken in 2019 Ribtips were not tender and had an okay taste

I find this establish to be an utter disgrace to the community and will NOT support it ever again! Oftentimes we are encouraged to support Black businesses but apparently the owners and employees of Uncle John's fail to realize that people desire good service and patronizing establishments who treat their customers with respect and gracious hospitality (I wasn't even greeted when I approached the cash register when I entered the restaurant) regardless of the owner's skin color. Due better, please, because right now you are an embarrassment to excellent black businesses on the area and if you keep up this unacceptable behavior you'll soon find yourself with...

I’m sorry to see a good food establishment with a WRECKLESS disregard for service towards customers. I️ gave the location in the city a pass, but finally decided I’d no longer disrespect myself by supporting them. Now here we are in the burbs and the same attitude toward customers exist, telling me it’s an organizational problem. Looking at the electronic menu display, I️ decided on the large tip/link combo (options were small$8.95, large $13.95, jumbo $16.95) and the lady at the counter asked “Jumbo or Regular?” I️ looked confusingly at the board and said, well what’s a regular because that isn’t an option. Her response - “jumbo or regular?” Damn. Is it me? after asking for the prices of these options she is presenting me, I️ was shocked to discover her options are more than what’s advertised on the menu. Her response - “take it or leave it...” LEAVE IT! There’s waaaaaay to many “ME TOO businesses” serving good, NOT GREAT, barbecue, so I’ll spend MY MONEY...

First time customer here, and sadly they gave me the wrong order. I ordered a small hot link with a mix of hot and mild sauce. When I got home I discovered they gave me rib tips instead. They were too far away from me to turn around and I was super hungry. I tasted a bit of it but it wasn't what I wanted so I didn't even eat the meal. When I called to inform them of their mistake, the young man was silent after coughing for a minute. He then said " SO WHAT DO YOU WANT? To come in and get the order?" What I wanted is for you to have made my order correctly the 1st time but since that didn't happen, you could at least apologize for the inconvenience. Instead he said bring the food in with the receipt and didn't seem to care. I decided it wasn't worth my time, I'm not likely to patron here again.

After reading the negative reviews, I still opted to try this place. The first staff who took our order was pleasant. The second person, not so much. After waiting a very long time for our food, he saw us standing by the counter, walked up and just looked at us. Very odd. He didn’t say anything, just glared. Soon we ascertained he wanted us to give him our receipt with our order number. Fast forward to the food. The rib tips were as leathery and burnt. The hot links were ok. We did receive 3 hot links in the jumbo size but 1 was shorter than the other 2.
