I was excited to try this restaurant after seeing their post on social media and wanted to show my support. Upon arrival, the staff was friendly and welcoming. The menu offered a wide variety of options, including pork chops, chicken, seafood, and an assortment of vegetables.
I decided to order the fried chicken dinner with a side, which came to $34. While the price felt a bit steep, I’m always willing to pay more for good food. I also noticed there was a service charge added, and the total cost varied depending on the payment method, which I hadn’t expected.
The food arrived fairly quickly, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the quality didn’t meet my expectations. The mac and cheese wasn’t the traditional style I’m used to, and the yams were extremely dark and oddly chewy. On a positive note, the chicken batter was well-seasoned, and the greens were..decent. I tried to eat what I could since the meal was expensive, but after just two bites of the yams, I knew I couldn’t continue.
After debating whether to call I called the restaurant afterward to share my feedback, hoping for some kind of understanding or resolution. However, the person I spoke with didn’t seem very open to hearing my concerns. She mentioned a sign in the restaurant (which I didn’t see) stating “that their food may not match everyone’s flavor profile.” She ended the conversation by essentially saying it was my fault for not liking the food and for that reason nothing could be done.
Overall, I was truly disappointed by both the meal and the response I received. I wanted to support a business I was excited about, but unfortunately, the experience didn’t live up to the promise!
