Man, this place completely blindsided me. I'll admit I was VERY skeptical about ordering from Uber Eats tonight, as my fiance and I have had three mediocre to bad meals through them recently with stuff missing and poorly made food. Tonight was different! They say, "Third time's the charm," but we lucked out on our fourth try in this case.
With a name like "Food to Go," I was expecting Sodexo quality food - the kind you get at cafeterias in colleges or hospitals (decent but nothing spectacular). I did notice the 4.5 star average on here, but my anxiety continued to build as the pictures were having trouble loading tonight, and I was initially indecisive about what to get.
To make matters worse, the order was taking longer than expected to be prepared, the delivery fee was about $6, and when it arrived, I noticed they forgot utensils that I asked for specifically. I was pretty worried to say the least.
First off, I opened up the chicken sandwich plate. I was greeted by a very overcooked looking chicken breast - dark brown. My anxiety turned to frustration as I was worried that Uber Eats had let us down again...But let me tell you, as soon as I ripped a piece of that chicken off and tasted it, I was pleasantly taken aback. Moist, tender, juicy, chicken - not overcooked at all! Thank God lol! I then tried an onion ring...Oh my goodness! Crisp and juicy, not soggy or oily. Just perfectly battered!
Secondly, I got into the wings and macaroni plate. Mmm mmm mmm. Soooo much better than the chicken I tried from Buffalo Wild Wings recently. They fried the wings nice and hard like I like it, not soggy like a lot of places. The Carolina BBQ sauce was actually great too, and I don't even like BBQ wings like that. I'm more of a buffalo gal, but these were excellent. The part that surprised me even more about the plate was the mac and cheese. Without even a fork to eat it with, I dug in. Boy, oh boy! Leaps and bounds better than the mac n cheese I had earlier today at Matthews Cafeteria in Tucker. This mac n cheese had love in it. I'm telling you they seasoned it right and cooked it with care. Best restaurant mac n cheese I've had in awhile.
Finally, I opened my Philly cheesesteak and sweet potato fries. I'm glad they actually listened and provided the ranch and ketchup I requested, unlike other places. They even gave mayo, which was a nice touch for the cheesesteak. Absolutely no complaints there either. The sandwich had a good portion of meat, good ratio of onions and peppers, and nice soft bread. The sweet potato fries were great also.
Wow, from what started as anxiety and fear of a bad meal turned into complete satisfaction and happiness with full bellies lol. I would recommend this spot to anyone ordering through Uber Eats and definitely reorder every single item. With prices averaging at $8 per plate too, you can't go wrong. Thank you Food to Go for not letting me down and providing such an excellent dinner take out service tonight. You'll definitely be getting our business again. I truly appreciate when a business takes their time to make good quality food with care and you can see and taste the difference. Hats off to you!
