Disappointed & Honestly a Bit Grossed Out
My boyfriend and I ordered the 3-piece combo (roll was missing) with garlic noodles, gumbo greens, an original chicken sandwich with fries, and a sweet potato biscuit; just trying to support a local Black-owned business and our community.
Unfortunately… a big mistake was made.
The food was extremely mid. Two out of three pieces of chicken were barely okay, but the wing was completely spoiled; it smelled like rotten meat before I could even take a bite. I originally asked for all thighs, but was told no with an eye roll. I let it slide, thinking maybe the food would make up for the attitude… it didn’t.
The garlic noodles were dry, the sweet potato biscuit tasted like orange chalk (dry and butterless), and the chicken sandwich was forgettable at best. The gumbo greens were the one highlight—good flavor, just a little too salty, and the fries were solid. But that’s about it.
Now let’s talk about the customer service, or lack thereof. Not a hello, not a smile, not even basic acknowledgment. The large, light-skinned guy with freckles (who I assume is security but was also serving food) was incredibly rude; when I asked if my food was ready, he just stared at me and rolled his eyes. The girl at the front acted like customers were an inconvenience, and even the cook seemed irritated to be there.
Note to the “chef”: Please check your chicken—it’s spoiled. Seriously.
I will never be back. I honestly wish Legends Soul Food was still there, and that place was just ok. If this spot is connected to Court Café, management really needs to step in and fix these issues. It’s sad to see another Black-owned restaurant struggling, not because of the food concept, but because of poor quality and zero professionalism.
A 3.2 rating from 56 customers in just a few months says it all. Do better!
