Food is delicious. They only accept cash so cards are not accepted for purchases. However, you can order through Uber Eats for pick up or delivery. I had fried shrimp and lemon pepper wings which were appetizing.. The dining section is not the best. Not the best dine-in environment for a date. Good food tho.

I’m gonna start with the greatness! Ok so this darn roll is so good I could’ve just ate like 10 of those and been good. I ordered the chicken and shrimp pasta it was very tasty but the salt was very overwhelming. I felt my blood pressure rising and I don’t have high blood pressure. It has a great creamy texture and taste but the salt content outrageous. The broccoli was also salty it looks as if it has a bunch of salty seasoning on top. My lemon pepper wings were nice and hot they were also dry they were lacking sauce or something again they just sprinkled lemon pepper seasoning on them. I’m wish I had known about the rolls before ordering because I would’ve just ordered about 10 rolls. I was unable to eat my chicken and shrimp pasta and broccoli, I did however enjoy my wings and roll. If y’all calm down on the salt I could hang but for now, thanks and maybe one day I’ll give it another shot!

The portion size that I got was great. The salmon was very tasty flavorful but when I got to the vegetables, too salty and way too much pepper are used to order from here all the time so this is really upsetting to me, knowing that the vegetables weren’t that great because I like vegetables specially green vegetables. I would’ve given them five stars but vegetables were not on point. The only thing that I really enjoyed was the salmon not the vegetables.

I want my money back ASAP! My food was not ready! They began making it once I came in the door! The lady treated me like a theft! She went through my past orders - all touching my phone during this COVID environment! Then when I get home my food is not up to par! My rice is old and soggy - I guess to cover up that it's old rice, and my yams have the texture of baby food - overcooked!!! It also tastes like soap!

i ordered mac, rice and gravy, and thai wings. they should let you order just wings and the ONLY reason i’m saying that is because of the sauce. the chicken is not seasoned. nothing has seasoning honestly. the gravy taste like flour and the rice was hard. the mac taste like plain noodles and cheese and that’s being nice because the cheese doesn’t even taste real. this place is over hyped. maybe i tried the wrong things but the reviews just tell me i’m right. never coming here again. i paid $25 and the only thing tasty here is the sauce on the wings. it’s a good place to come if you’re drunk because anything taste good when you’re drunk. maybe i’ll come back and try the drinks but the food? big NO

I ordered a turkey wing platter for my son and chicken and shrimp Alfredo platter for myself.. the turkey wings are always a hit.. but the Alfredo I had today was terrible.. it's usually creamy but today it tasted like straight grated Parmesan cheese you sprinkle on spaghetti like I just ate a whole can of that on top of noodles.. very nasty.. the broccoli was also drowned in butter.. I am truly disappointed .. the best thing they have are the portion sizes, friendly staff (it was an older dark skin gentlemen at the counter that was nice) but this Alfredo made me want to throw up

You know how it is, food on your mind and even though you're hungry nothing will do like soul food. So Tasties it is and oh how good it is... As if I didn't have enough, I had some of my hubbies potato salad too.

I’ve ordered here a few times. I’d say it’s a hit or miss. Some days you’ll get fresh food other days you’ll get old reheated food. My most recent visit, which was on a late night around 8pm. I ordered fried fish, mac, yams, and side of greens. The greens were sooooooooooo salty. Which shocked me, maybe that was by accident. But the fish wasn’t fresh, and the breading was soft. I was throwing up all night, my food wouldn’t even digest probably and I only ate barley half. When initially ordered the lady told me about 25 mins, but 5-10 minutes later she said your order is ready. I missed the red flag, how did my fish get cooked that fast? I’m cool off ordering from them for a long time. I’m kind of scarred now. You can get people really sick by serving old food. I gave atmospheric star a 1 because I’d never eat inside.

I ordered fried turkey chops. The portions size was good. However the turkey chops were very dry and the grease they fried it in was dirty. I feel like they were overcooked. The candy yams were fresh and delicious. The mac and cheese could use a lot bit more cheese. This is my 3rd time here getting the same thing. The first two times I had no problems. I'll go again and I'm sure it'll be better next time.

the food was pretty good but the wait to receive your meal was insane, inexcusable truly. we were sitting there for 2 hours waiting for 6 meals to come out. no one in my group asked for crazy modifications so it was pure laziness and lack of care on their part. their menu is outdated, so half of the items we tried to order were unavailable and we were not made aware of this beforehand. they only take cash which also wasn't stated anywhere, so we had to use their sketchy ATM to take out money. as for the general vibe of the establishment, it sort of emulated a lounge but it was rather small. the music was also TOO loud. i have sensitive hearing but i could barely talk to the group i was sitting with. i understand it has a lounge vibe, but to not hear someone directly across from you is nuts. overall, i would not come here again. i don't want to wait 2 hours for a simple soul food meal, be checked at the door by a security guard and have my eardrums blown out my head.

The fried chicken is always good and reasonably priced!! Also you can call and order ahead, unlike a lot of soul food places in philly!!

Very good food, i would never dine in here but the takeout service is on point, nice staff too. The whitefish and greens are great, the thai wings are insane, a must try if you've never been here.

I visited this store twice. On my first visit I ordered fried chicken, macaroni and cheese and greens.. everything seem to taste OK until the next day, when I couldn't get Off the toilet all day. a friend of mine who accompanied me to the store ordered a similar platter but instead of chicken and collard greens he ordered turkey wings, and yams and mac & cheese. He also was stuck in the bathroom for 24 hours. I'm not sure what type of cheese they use, but it must've included a laxative because that was the only decent explanation I could think of which would explain why we both were sick for 24 hours. besides the food actually making us sick one other thing that really angered me was the staff. There was an older heavyset lady that worked at the counter. She was the rudest nastiest person I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with. These people at this store act like they are doing you a favor by serving you food with a dose of Ex-Lax added for taste. I see why the readings are so low and they are definitely warranted.. to be quite honest I wouldn't recommend tasty to a dog because the food there is anything but, tasty. The staff is unprofessional, and the store itself looks dingy, dark, and dirty.. in addition, the staff is unfriendly and unhelpful. The one positive thing I could say about the store is that the prices were relatively decent. But if they are substituting Ex-Lax for milk in their food, that would explain the price difference. Once again, I do not recommend this store, there are at least 20 other good soul, food, restaurants, and the area that is better than tasties. save your money money, you were in for a disappointment if you visit this location. Now.

A hot mess. First I asked for Lamb. They didn't have it. Ribs? Didn't have it. I said WHAT DO YALL HAVE?! Ended up with tasteless fried chicken wings. And to top it off, they forgot my side of potato salad. Neverrrrrr ever again.

I went in the restaurant to place an order , BIG MISTAKE, I should have called it in. The cashier told me 35-40 minutes I ended up waiting a hour and 15-20 minutes! There was no signs posted which said "cash only ! I know I should have known better ! The food is ok , the salmon was dry and small as heck! I was disappointed that when I ask could I order a veggie platter she told me "No!" The service and wait time was ridiculous! The fact I couldn't order a meatless platter, during this day and age was disappointing! Would I return maybe! The wait time was HORRIBLE FOR

I had the sticky wings, Mac & greens. The Sticky wings were crispy & savory, Mac wasn't baked & greens drowned in salt. Could not; Would not consume the Greens. Went back for the sticky wings a second time with a side of fries. Figured u can't go wrong with chicken and French fries. Chicken was pink inside and appeared to be under fried and the fries taste just like fish grease. The customer service is beyond words. Worse than the food to say the least. I Won't be back.

So far I've ordered chicken wings thai wings butter roll & yams 5stars, fried tilapia & shrimp fried rice 4stars (they dont give u whole shrimp but cut them n half. Baked mac is 3stars. I've been there few times & only once was mac good. Every since then noodles boiled too long & cheap cheese I'm guessing bc it doesn't stick to noodles or maybe its too much butter idk. If they tighten up on wait time & professionalism they could be a better establishment. Called last night at 9pm was told they no longer are taking phone orders so we have to come on place order & wait which the wait time is 20-30min no joke. That annoyed me bc I live about half hour w/traffic drive away. Black businesses never make it bc they are so damn ghetto. Girl taking ur order on her cell phone. Talking to other ppl bout stuff that can wait till customers are gone Sunday night they close at 10 but are turning ppl away at 945 complaining about how its time to go home. Thats unprofessional & no customer needs to hear ur complains

YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED !!!! It closes at 11 which is nice , considering that everyone else closes too early . IT WAS SO GOOD !!! EVERY BITE WAS EXACTLY WHAT WE WERE LOOKING FOR ! Since it was our first time and all we really wanted was Mac & Cheese, (proud cheese addict) we agreed on the : 6 Lemon Pepper Wings w/ 2 Sides Our sides being : Potato Salad & Mac & Cheese Add extra side of Mac and side of Sweet Potatoes (They ran out of Greens ) The people were nice and there's a few places to sit . We decided to get our side of Mac right then and there while we waited for the platter . Let's just say , after 2 bites , we ordered another one It was just how we hoped it would be ! Not greasy , but cheesy , but not wet . Lol All OUR preference . Even though we drove the food all the way back home , the chicken was still PERFECTLY crunchy ! No soggy wings ! Everything was delicious & I can not wait to go back . P.S : I will definitely be asking for an extra roll next time because I LOVE bread and it was perfectly soft and buttery !

NO STARS FOOD WAS NOT DONE At the end of the night. If you don't feel like preparing food right just say we done for the night or something. It won't make or break you guys. I rather had took my 26$ to A Plus for hot dogs and chips right is right wrong is wrong

Nasty and horrible customer. Always running out of food. When someone does a online order that should take immediate president than a walk in order. You don't wait until the deliver person gets there to pick up the order to cancel the damn order. Especially when the order was confirm and placed over a hour a ago. As a business your VM box should never be full. And if your a business to get multiple and constant calls during your open hours then you need to have more than 1 line. It's my 3rd time trying to give this place not only my business and money but also my time. I'm done.

My fiancé and I saw Tasties on DoorDash and decided to give it a try. I heard good things about this restaurant so, I was looking forward to it. Let me note, I understand it is a very hectic time for many restaurants who are experiencing a surge in their takeout orders but, what we experienced was not ok. We ordered 2 Whiting platters, one with potato salad, and collard greens.. the other with mac and cheese, and greens. My fiancé also ordered some Lemon Pepper Wings. About an hour and a half after we placed the order, our first DoorDash driver called and said he was waiting for about 2 hours for our food. He was frustrated but, he said he would wait a little longer. Eventually he ended up leaving. Then we got a notification that a second driver was waiting for our food. That driver ended up leaving too. So, we got yet another notification that someone else was waiting to retrieve our food. When the food finally arrived and I opened up my platter, I was disappointed. As I mentioned earlier, one platter (my platter) was supposed to have greens and potato salad. There was no potato salad, but a second dinner roll that had collard green juice all over it. The platter featured 4 small pieces of fish. It was not satisfying. My fiancé's platter was worse; he was given 3 straggly pieces of fish, and a few fish crumbs. The wings he ordered were supposed to be lemon pepper but, he said they tasted more like garlic parmesan. My fiancé said the mac was not bad, and the greens were ok. In all honesty, the fish had nice crunch and flavor, but I feel like we got the end of the night scraps. Another negative is the fact that our food arrived 3+ hours after we ordered it. I feel like I would want to give them another try when things are not so chaotic. Even though our first impression was not so great, the food was not horrible. They certainly need to do better though.

Wow, so I just ordered through UberEats, not really sure if this was going to be good or not. I was hungry, figured I would continue with my support of Black-Owned and try here as I've never eaten here. But I have food in the fridge just in case, lol. The reviews seemed mixed, so I knew it was a gamble. OMG was this food good. I got the fried wings platter. The wings were perfectly fried crispy and seasoned well, but not overdone. They are bigger than I am comfortable with, but they were good! The mac and cheese, the sweet potatoes were great!! Then they have these butter garlic rolls- WHAT!!?? I had to stop myself from eating the entire (large) portion that was sent. It's been a few minutes since I stopped eating and started writing this, but I keep thinking about it. I just hope that if and when I buy from here again, I have the same experience, if not better!!

Soooooooo good. Call ahead with your order because everything is fresh so it took 30 mins to get our food. Also there's going to be a line of people who called but it was definitely worth the wait. The Mac, yams, and collards all delicious!

Wait time is a BIG BIG BIG problem with this business. I ordered shrimp Alfredo and waited over an hour. There was no one inside the store so there was no way they were busy. Only one person walked out with food the entire time I waited an hour. I went inside the pick up the food, the girl then said, "It's coming up about 15 mins." After ordering on the phone and waiting about 25 mins. 15 more mins go by.... "It's still coming." Waited ANOTHER 45 mins.... Ridiculous!!!! What were they hand spinning the pasta noodles? INSANE. I waited at least 90 mins... AT LEAST.... no apology no nothing.... Also the inside is not very appealing. This place looks like a hole in the wall seriously all jokes aside. The owner really needs to get it together and fix up her locations. The Alfredo wasn't good btw. What a waste of time. It was greasy and messy. I will NEVER eat from Tasties every again in life.

I had take out for dinner and I can't lie the food was pretty good minus the fact I asked for rice but got mac & cheese .. The garlic biscuit was really good too ....They have really nice portions, I thought $28 for two platters was kind of high tho

Customer service was horrible. I guess I should have been happy the chubby light skinned middle age woman said hello, because everything after that was less than welcoming. I asked an extra syrup, there was a pause then she said "$10". She didn't say yes or no to the syrup. She just packed my food and didn't say thank you when handing me my food. Really, basic customer service, a smile, greeting, response to a question and and thank you. Here's what I know, if more of the community would speak up to our black owned businesses and demand respect & quality service, stop settling for less, more of our business owners will take us as consumers more seriously deserving respect. We as a people tend to settle for less. I made it a point to write this review to highlight the poor service and to not over look another business in my community for horrible customer service, and it's s teachable moment for my daughter who accompanied me that there's value in her dollar she's spending as a consumer. 2-stars because the food was good. The staff could use a few costumer services courses. Spend the money in training, it just may be worth the few extra pennies in the long run. I will never step foot in there again!

Good soul food ! Besides the onions in the potato salad and the fact that they don't accept credit cards...the food was tasty indeed. I had called for pickup I wouldn't say the staff is superb I barely had any interaction with them except the lady at the front who informed me that they DID NOT accept debit/credit cards. Which I find inconvenient but it's not that serious. However, I will eat here again VERY soon. It's probably one of the best soul food places I tasted top 10.

Today I ordered from This establishment for the first time and my experience was extremely dissatisfying. I placed my order via Uber eats fully understanding that using two companies double my chances for errors or mishaps. Uber eats has its flaws but for the most part they are truly reliable. I placed my order ( listed below) Salmon w/ Mac & cheese and Candied yams Whiting Sandwich Whiting sandwich Whiting Sandwich Side of Mac & Cheese BBQ chicken Platter w/ Mac & Cheese and Candied yams The total was 60.10, so we are not talking about a $13 order. After waiting for almost an hour ( I'll charge the wait time to Uber eats but I was updated when and extended time was applied and received a credit) I received my order with the following : Salmon w/ Mac & cheese and Candied yams I contacted Tasties attempting to get the error corrected and was directed by the blatantly annoyed girl on the phone to contact Uber eats there was Tasties could. I asked if I could speak to the manager and the girl rudely responded that there was no one here and disconnected the phone. When I Called back a gentleman answered the phone this time repeating the same story to contact Uber eats and not offering any type of solution. I asked if the gentlemen could confirm the correct order had been given to the driver and the gentleman began to become irate and again did not offer any type of solutions but to point the finger at Uber eats I will no longer be supporting this establishment nor it's ghetto practices.

Tasties has awesome take out. I always order the pasta with salmon and my boyfriend's usual is the shrimp and chicken pasta platter. This place would have been an easy five star review if they deveined their shrimp, had quicker service and took credit cards.

I've ordered from here 3 times. The first time was soooo good! I got the Tasties fried shrimp with dipping sauce. The shrimp were fried perfectly and the sauce was so good. The 2nd time I ordered grilled chicken and shrimp over rice. Everything was so dry. I was hugely disappointed. Finally I decided to give them a final try. I ordered Thai Chili Wings and crab fries. The crab fries were on point. Seasoned perfectly, and fried kinda soft the way I like my fries. The wings were too sweet for me. I expected them to be more tangy but again I was disappointed. I will always support black business', but I'm good off of Tasties for a little while lol

I called to order food and they said it would be 25 minutes. This was my first time here but was told the food was pretty good. Waited an hour and a half and it still wasn't ready! All I ordered was the chicken/shrimp pasta! When I asked for the 3rd time the counterperson stated "he didn't want to bother the cook".! They're were other people just as frustrated that had been there before me. I witnessed a staff person go across the street which I assume was home and bring back a can of Pam spray. Seriously! If it's only ONE cook taking on more orders then they need to hire some staff. Staff is uniformed and seemed clueless! I will not be returning! They need to do better!

I ordered from here a while ago and they were good the first time. This time around, I ordered the shrimp and chicken pasta. It was super super salty, only 4 shrimp in the whole platter and my broccoli was cold. I ordered a tilapia platter too for my mother. The cabbage was crunchy like it wasn't cooked long enough and it was way under seasoned. I got a side of old bay fries but they never came with my order. I requested a refund, fortunately I got it with no problem. I doubt I'll be ordering from here again.

The customer service that we receive was perfect. I ordered fried chicken wings, candied yams, cabbage, and baked mac. I was offered desserts-- I chose to have the banana crumble (which tasted a little bland). The fried chicken was cooked a little too hard for my liking. Nevertheless, the food was still good.

I went in the other day to see what the hype was about. I ordered the fried chicken wing platter w mac and cheese and collard greens. The customer service was horrible. The woman behind the counter had an attitude it was loud and inside and she was rude to everyone that ordered. I left and came back and my food still wasn't done. Finally 30 min later I had my food but they forgot the roll. At that point I was so irritated that I wasn't going back in there. But once I sat down.... THAT FOOD WAS DELICIOUS! !!! At that point I could care less about the customer service because the food speaks for itself. I wish they were nicer but hey id rather have good food and bad service than bad food and good service. ..

Time management and customer service is horrible. We were told our order would be ready within 20-25 minutes. My boyfriend went in to pick up the order 20 minutes after we called and we waited an additional hour and 20 minutes longer. I ended up following after him after he told me he was getting upset and exchanged words with someone who worked there. When I entered I asked him if anyone apologized for the wait, if anyone offered a discount due to the inconvenience (they asked him for the money as soon as he walked in to get the food...we would've left if that wasn't the case) or if they offered anything else with our order .... he said no which made me upset. There were other people waiting for food for an hour+ as well. Someone came in who worked for the company and heard me speaking about the issue with my boyfriend... still no apology. We got our food which was cold and the rice was white to be considered as "fried", chicken was thrown on top as well. My mom said it was bland. Our pasta was dry, Little to no sauce. An apology would've been a start to fix this issue but one wasn't given. This was his first time eating from Tasties ... he said he never wants to eat from there again. It's really the small things that keep customers coming back. Unfortunately, nobody working at Tasties did any of those things today and lost customers .

This restaurant has to be the worst soul food restaurant in Philadelphia and all of the surrounding counties. The customer service was horrible, we had to ask for menus. When the waitress did bring a menu to the table, she only bought one menu. We had to ask the waitress to wipe down the table, and she only wiped the side of the table that my oldest son was sitting on. It took them almost and hour to give us our food, meanwhile people are coming in there picking up orders. The food wasn't better than anything that I could have cooked myself as I used to cook for the Fresh Grocer Supermarket. The Macaroni and Cheese was not seasoned well at all, and looked like something that was prepared for the first time by someone who has no cooking experience. The String Beans were canned. Are you kidding me? Who serves canned vegetables in a soul food restaurant? The chicken breast was boneless and bland. The lemon pepper wings tasted good. The roll and gravy tasted good also. The Seafood fries was nothing more thsn French Fries with Old Bay Seasoning. Last but certainly not least, the bathroom looked like it has NEVER BEEN CLEANED.

Only writing this because I love supporting black Biz ...and been there before and love the food ... but if your window and online advertising say you open at 11am ... and I show up at 2pm ... that's not a good look if the lady in the lobby say we not open yet ... my advice to all would be call first or go elsewhere

DONT WAIST YOUR MONEY!!!!! Went today to try out this place out, and I ordered their lemon pepper wings. Along with the wings I ordered their Mac and cheese and their cabbage. The wings were very oily the Mac and cheese was made with no love at all and the cabbage was very hard and crunchy ( basically not cook all the way). Every thing that I ordered was not good at all. Maybe a different cook would have been better. When I asked about the seafood salad they didn't have any and they were also out of the banana crumb. So needless to say I will not return. I'm sure there are other soul food restaurants in the city of Philadelphia to go to other then this one that has food that actually tastes good. 1 star from me.

Whose ever momma they have chiefing in the back, I want to hug her..lol I was skeptical at first due to google reviews vs yelp reviews and Uber eats rating. However, I was pleased that the Ribs were very tender and flavorful, Mac and cheese wasn't the Kraft with the watery cheese If any; another winner and the yams taste like love was in em. I'm glad I took the chance, I know you can't please everybody and some people are just unbelievable with their expectations. The customer isn't always right sometimes They have bad taste buds. I will Definitely be ordering from them again.

UNPROFESSIONAL . I called in my order about 45 minutes ahead. I ordered 2 platters . I get there and theY say 20 more mins . After sittiing there I was looking around and was mortified at the gunk and goo on the counters, crumbs , filthy rags, and sticky floor. I ran out of there. If they keep the front counters that nasty I couldn't imagine what they do in the back where nobody can see.

This is from a City Health Inspection that was performed a few weeks ago. I think it pretty much speaks for itself: "20 violations, 8 serious Mouse droppings found throughout the facility including observed along the floor perimeters in the food prep area and storage closet; raw fish was being improperly thawed in standing water; potentially hazardous ready-to-eat food including chicken, gravy, collard greens, turkey wings, and potato salad that were prepared in the facility and held for more than 48 hours, located in the refrigerators and prep area, were not date marked; trash area observed unkempt; trash bags, containers, and boxes not observed in approved trash receptacles; Food splatter and debris observed on the floors and walls in the food prep and warewashing areas; waffle mix that contained milk was not held at proper temperatures; sweet potatoes were not reheated to the proper temperature; there was old food residue in the handwash sink in the food prep area; food employees were not wearing or wearing ineffective hair restraints, such as nets, hats, or beard restraints. Due to imminent health hazards observed during this inspection, the establishment was issued a Cease Operations Order and must discontinue food operations immediately. The establishment could not operate for a minimum of 48 hours. Inspected May 17." http://www.philly.com/philly/health/special_reports/clean-plates/employees-dirty-fingernails-cat-and-mouse-poop-close-philly-eateries-20180604.html

Love tasties my guy put me on this place and the chicken and shrimp pasta is second to none I don't even order pasta anywhere else because I know it won't come close to tasties and the homemade juices are phenomenal! Never disappoints

Had delivery. Half my order was missing after a 2 hr wait. Called. We never fulfilled the order. It was cancelled online. Really? Food I got was great but poor customer service. Killed it for me. Never ordering again.

The wait was extremely long and a lot of customers asked for money back because they have been waiting for two hours. The cashier tried to communicate with the cook but he instantly started cursing at her and yelling which caused an argument. We all heard it and the cashier was swamped with people telling her they've been waiting long. I got my food and the Alfredo sauce was super thick and my chicken was burnt and the pasta underneath was all stuck together with no sauce. The owner definitely needs to make some improvements this place used to be my go to spot.
