    Crispy Chicken Philly w/fries $9
    Parris J.

    Very disappointed they discontinued the 2 Turkey Burger special. I would eat one for dinner and the other for lunch. I guess it got too expensive but I just tried the Crispy Chicken Philly for the first time and it was excellent!

    Food was good service was quick. I'm not comparing it to babas but this place is better. Flavorful Fresh and quick. Fries are good. They have Philly cheese steak fries and a plethora of sandwiches and specials. If you're in Dolton stop by and enjoy

    Fixing my super chicken Philly.   The best in the south suburbs...

    I got a gymshoe sandwich from here. It was perfect! I just wish it had more meat on it, seemed a little skimpy. It was delish tho.

    There has been some previous reviews that I admit was concerning when this establishment was first…read moreopened. Yes, I was very hesitant. My aunt and I are big on supporting Blacked Owned Businesses. Today was our first time visiting this establishment. When we arrived, the lady at the door escorted us to the elevator. I was feeling the graffiti inspired art. When we arrived to main floor, the staff greeted us . We were the first customers. I admit, the ambiance was nice. Out waitress Lyric was really nice and attentive. We all ordered the Creole Fried Catfish. They have a nice menu selection. I admit the food was good. Fish fried to perfection, the creole sauce was at first a little off putting but the more I tasted, the flavor was even more delicious. The rice was everything! Although, this establishment did faced a rocky opening with all the views and the unfair controversy in its beginning stages of being a new restaurant , they definitely did not disappoint. I admit. I was impressed.

A different bartender offered to remake it without the smoked flavor and she made it way too sweet. I could not drink it. I was looking at the bar and they had no good wines even though I knew that there were wines near the door when you first come in. There were only cheap wines like Sutter homes at the bar. As I watched people's food get brought to the table, none of it looked good. I saw a steak that did not look good. It made me say that I would never want to eat at this establishment. The ambience was very nice for a date night, but I hope that they have something there that tastes good. Lastly, ladies, imagine trying to undo your clothing, squat down to use the restroom, wipe yourself and wash your hands while holding your purse. I tried to nicely let the manager know that he should get a hook put into the one restroom, to hold ladies' purses while they use the restroom. He acted like I was saying something wrong to him or hating on him. Any woman would agree that it's hard to use the restroom with your purse in your possession. Any BUSINESS with a public restroom should have a hook for this reason. He didn't give a heck about what I was saying. Now that beautiful establishment is about to give an inconvenience and irritation to most women that enters that restroom. And it's not even worth it.

Initially the staff was friendly, however, I ordered a medium rare ribeye with a waffle instead of pancakes for a $4.99 up-charge. My steak came out medium well. The server Priscilla agreed that it was overcooked and sent it back to the kitchen. When she took it back she also took my eggs and hash browns as well which I didn't mind much, although I was actually eating those items and the steak was the only thing that I had an issue with. When she brought out the new steak it was rare. I asked for the meal to be taken off of the bill completely. When we received the check, the waffle was listed for $10. I don't mind paying, but the principle was important to me, especially since I didn't even eat the waffle. If I was originally supposed to be charged $4.99 why am I now being charged $10 when my food was made incorrectly not once but twice? When I asked Priscilla about the pricing she very rudely stated that my steak was not made incorrectly the second time it just was not made to my liking. As a person who ONLY orders steak at restaurants I am well aware of what a medium rare steak should look like. She was very condescending and the whole experience made me not want to patronize this establishment again. Oh, and I would also like to note that Priscilla, when told that everyone doesn't know how to make steaks properly and I am understanding of that and didn't make a big deal until they charged full price for the barely eaten waffle, stated that they have the "temperature thing", which I can only guess she was referring to a thermometer, to accurately prepare steaks, contradicted herself because if they utilized it my initial steak which she agreed was overcooked would have in fact been properly prepared.

You will be waiting, and yes, I was PISSED, but the service of Jamal made if better. As I was waiting all I saw was him coming back and forth dealing with angry people helping out the best he can to calm them down. The food was good, and I had to wait. Yes, I could've asked for a refund, but I'm sure nobody would've ordered my turkey sausage, mushroom, and garlic pizza so I just waited. I would suggest trying to get the pizza done closer to the pickup time we're allowed to pick. I would also suggest customers should have more patience especially with folks dealing with your food. JAMAL did the job, and folks left out with a smile...

I placed an order for pickup, and the employee told me it would be ready in 45 minutes. When I arrived, the lobby was completely empty. It took almost 15 minutes of me knocking and calling out through the bulletproof glass before a young lady finally came out with a horrible attitude. She told me their internet was down, so she could only accept cash in the exact amount. Meanwhile, I could see multiple order receipts spread out on the counter next to cash in various denominations. I asked if I could go to an ATM to get cash, which would mean getting multiples of $20 bills, could she give me change from the money she already had on the counter. She told me no, claiming that would "throw everything off." We went back and forth on that logic before it finally clicked why the manager would instruct them to do it this way. To avoid further confusion, I just agreed to go get the exact cash. As I was leaving, she made some condescending remarks. My first instinct was to just walk away and not come back, but I chose to ignore it. When I returned with the exact cash, a different young lady came to the window and said, "We are closed." I explained to her that the previous cashier had just told me to go get exact cash and that my pizza was already done. This young lady replied, "Well, how am I supposed to know which pizza it is if the system is down?" I asked her, "Maybe the same way the other young lady was able to figure it out?" She just said I can't help you and walked away from the window. An Uber Eats driver and I just looked at each other and shook our heads. As I walked out with the intention of never patronizing this location again, I saw two other Uber Eats drivers being handed pizzas through the side door. Unbelievable! I have experienced subpar service at this location before, but this experience solidified that I will never return. I intend to write a letter to the corporate franchise as well. To all others reading this, you've been warned. Shop at your own risk!
