Figured getting a seat would be a breeze as they were more than half empty. Host ask if I had a reservation. No. He then proceeds to through more than is necessary to seat one solo diner. The music was much louder than what I normally am confronted with when I go out, I really wanted to ask them if they were still deciding if they were a restaurant or a nightclub! I got my answer when the server responded to my coffee request with we only have powdered creamer. What the hell??? This address, these prices, and you can't even say we only have milk? That's the response I'd expect from a greasy spoon, maybe! If you don't understand how offensive that particular accompaniment is for anyone who enjoys coffee, or FOOD....I can't even trust what the hell you're doing in the kitchen, not at those prices! And I have no problem paying $$ for my meal! read more

Ok so I called myself trying to support a black owned company. First was seated in the corner. Had to move the table over in order to sit down on the wobbly table. Next... waited an 1hr and 30 mins for "appetizers" ! Entrees came out which the Rasta pasta was really good(but wasn't hot) ...however the appetizers still didn't come out after I was informed it was. The staff was slightly to none unapologetic or seemed to care.. got hookah it didn't pull and taste the charcoal even after it was sent back twice to be remade.. the restaurant seems to care more about their music playlist than the satisfaction of the customers. They add an automatic 20% gratuity which is understandable for exceptional service but this wasn't the case. Not a pleasant experience whatsoever read more

We stumbled upon this restaurant while staying overnight in the city. My favorite things about this restaurant were the hospitality, and the great music they played. I loved the Motown vibe, one great song after another. Our brunch was good, omelette cooked right and the thick toast was amazing. My breakfast potatoes with peppers and onions were very tasty, I wish there were more potatoes because my husband ate half! Our server was super nice and after our meal the chef came over and introduced himself and wanted to make sure that everything was good. We felt very welcome! read more

Two friends and I just came from dinner there this evening. We thoroughly enjoyed the food, which was quite plentiful and to top it off the owner came to our table and told us the story of his journey and how he came up with the name of the restaurant. We definitely plan to come back and to spread the word. read more

Place was empty table of 4 of is ordered food... food still came out wrong and missing items. Chef came to ask how was food we told him food had to get sent back and was missing items he then got very rude and took offense to us saying food was wrong. And made them turn off music and kicked us our..waitress needs Customer service training can't multitask she busy talking to staff rather than making sure we got what we ordered. Horrible First experience read more

A week or so ago my co-workers and I decided to try Cray Taste. We heard nothing but good things about this place. We were so disappointed. Our server Diesha was completely intoxicated. She neglected to greet us for twenty-two minutes taking shots with her table. Another server approached us with napkins and water and Diesha turned around and became very combative and disrespectful towards her telling her that we were her table. After finally taking our order it seemed that the only server actually tending to our needs was that female. I don't know her name but we gave her fifty dollars for refilling our drinks, giving us napkins and condiments. We will be coming in again and looking for that server because she gave us proper and respectable service. read more

Our overall experience with this establishment was terrible, poor service , and even worse food. Nothing about the place has any taste. This was a waste of money, time and an outfit. Let's not forget about the hidden gratuity. The only good thing about this place was the ice cold water. A gentleman approached our table and asked how was the food , we told him it was awful, he was apologetic and even gave us a 15% off coupon, as if we would ever return. I wish we would have checked the reviews before hand. read more

I love a good black business, this place has decent music and good drinks, however, the service is not good. If you have to reserve tables to be here then timely service is expected. It should not take almost two hours to receive your food, period! I'm still waiting, so hopefully the is actually good when it comes out. read more

Love them waffles and wings!!! It is a vibe , i would love to actually dine in, because i do see that somedays they have like live events.

First off, I was very disappointed with this I received an invite via text from one of the promoters for this restaurant. Since it was my friend's birthday and we love to brunch we decided to try it out. I had reached out to the promoter listed on the flyer a day prior and he sent us a menu over of the food items, then when we got to the restaurant we were told some of the items were not on the menu. The mimosas were overpriced...$15.00 for one mimosa is absurd, that's not even the price for it in NYC. We informed the hostess, server, as well as the chef that we had a birthday in our party and nothing was done, not even a simple desert was brought out or a shoutout from the DJ. The server was not too knowledgeable on the food items on the menu and was not able to properly articulate or assist us with recommendations. When someone in our party realized they ordered too much food, we informed the waitress we wanted to change the order that had been recently been put in for the main course since it was only the appetizer that had been brought out the waitress responded and said you're going to enjoy the food which we did not, the food was really not that great. My broccoli was burnt, and my mash had no flavor. My friend ordered the grits and she said the same thing. The chef ended up coming out and we proceeded to tell him that we came from NJ, over an hour drive and it was our first time dining in their establishment and that the menu wasn't really specific with the appetizers. My friend told him she didn't want her order but another one of our friends kept her order and would take it home. I informed him we had a birthday in our party and he stated that he had a surprise for them, which he never honored. I have never been to an establishment and informed them it was an individuals birthday and they didn't come out with a simple dessert and candle so this was unsettling to me. We left there very displeased and to I doubt we will brunch there again. I'm a person who brunches on the regular and I go to different cities, so I know good customer service when I see it, and this is definitely one of the worst service I've received. If the establishment was busy I would understand but it wasn't busy, they had a smaller crowd than usual, but I felt like due to that they were inflating their prices that day, because the menu that they had on the table was priced higher than what was online cause I took a picture to compare the two. There are other places in Philly I would consider going to before coming back to this place. read more

ok first off there was a reservation made , my girlfriend and I were seated promply however after ordering our food it took more than an hour to even arrive at our table!! Also keep in mind a couple that came hours after we did recieved their food before we did. We spoke to our waitress about the matter and she said the food had to be cooked fresh .. didn't make sense but ok. So once the food came it the greens were definitely canned and the rice looked like the Lipton sides you buy from the market . The stuffed shrimp was gooey and runny. Just horrible !!! A woman came to the table and took our plates and asked if we wanted another order but the owner never came to address the matter . We literally had to get up and damn near walk out for the owner to let us know we were getting money off. The food and service is awful and the owner has an attitude problem. I would never dine in this establishment again. Do yourself a favor and go to Ruth Chris or Capital Grille. I'm sure you'll have better experience read more

Our server was so nice and attentive regardless that it was crowded! It's byob which was so convenient bc a liquor store was right around the corner! The wings were so good so was the shrimp. But the Rasta pasta??? Sweet Jesus!!! Spicy just like I like it. Absolutely will be returning and the music was sooo good!!! read more

I enjoyed the food and the service was great. I had the fish sandwich with fries and I loved both. I thought it was a nice touch that the chef came out to see if we enjoyed our food. I will definitely be back on a Thursday for Karaoke or Sunday for brunch. read more

12/10 everything down to the customer service to the attire to the everything the workers definitely give you a friendly loving experience love that it's black owned so it's lit all the time and they play good music the drinks and the food topped everything its one of them places where you HAVE to go read more

The atmosphere is very nice. However the wait times are ridiculous. I ordered lamb chops for 35.00 and I recieved 3 half dollar pieces of unidentifiable meat with no bone attached. They didn't even resemble a lamb chops. It looked more like a meat ball sliced in half with gravy poured over it to disguse it. I asked to have it sent back. The chef said No . That was the last of the lamb chops. Kinda explains why my pieces looked like scraps that should have been thrown out. The wait staff was very good. But the issue here is the cook and his preparation and presentation of the food. We traveled an hour to support this black business we saw on the news. What a mistake and a waste of money. I have had better service in white restaurants. This restaurant is run with a house negro mentality. If you want to drop 160.00 for brunch that is barely edible and comprised of scraps. They apparently don't throw food away regardless of the appearance or portion size. And that's the owners right but don't think I'm paying for you leftover scraps read more

This place actually deserves a zero star rating but unfortunately I can't give that. The only positive thing I have to say about this place is that the male host was very nice and professional. The restaurant overall/experience was trash. A friend and I had reservations around 1:45pm for a Sunday brunch. When we arrive the host informed us that we would have to wait a few minutes because they were clearing off a table for us at the moment (it looked a a 12 year old was clearing tables and he looked really confused). Now that didn't upset me because it was crowded but at the same time it was very difficult to hear him because the music was blasting. Once we were seated no one came to offer water or take our order for at least 20 minutes. One of the non partying servers (nice lady) noticed I was visibly upset and asked were we seen yet, I told her no and she got us some waters. I tried to order a Mimosa and she said she couldn't take the orders the server that works at the bar can. Looking around the restaurant I couldn't tell who was a worker or who was a guest. Every person there looked inexperienced while they smoked hookah and talked to their friends instead of working. There was a man and woman taking alcoholic beverage orders but looking at them you couldn't tell. Our food server pointed our table out to the lady that was taking drink orders and asked her to come over to us next. When she came over she seemed like she had an attitude and she only half listened to what I said. Midway through me trying to order the drinks she walked away and came back with a menu and with the same bad attitude. I asked her to bend down some so she could hear me and I can hear her since the music was so loud, she just gave me a blank stare. $30 for a pitcher of mimosa that taste like it was made with cheap barefoot champagne (which is not even close to $10 a bottle) and cheap orange juice. The girl brought the pitcher over to the table with two champagne glasses that had a flimsy half of a half strawberry slice, she didn't even pour the first glass for us. She left with the same attitude she came with and continue to ignore our table the entire time we were there (skipping us as she went to every table at least twice except ours). I also forgot to mention that they do not accept debit or credit cards, only cashapp or cash. And you have to pay for your drink on the spot like you're at the bar and not a restaurant. At some point I'm pretty sure the chef came out and did this "victory lap" and talked to friends there as well. We waited to close about an hour (it was 4:30pm now) until we got fed up and tried to walk out. The host stopped us immediately and offered to get our food out within 5 minutes, I knew I should've said "no" and kept walking but I had hopes the the food was good but I was sadly mistaken. For the life of me I couldn't understand how the host was able to get the food out quickly while our server that never checked on us after giving us water around 2:30pm couldn't. We both ordered chicken and waffles and the chicken tasted like with you got Friday wings from the market and put them in the deep fryer and added 2 pounds of salt. The waffles tasted like it had the whole bottle of cinnamon on it, to the point my friend started choking on it (I thought she was allergic or having an allergic reaction.) The waffle tasted like they were straight out the microwave. I didn't eat any of the food and it was a very terrible experience and service. I would NEVER recommend this place to any nor would I EVER step foot in this place again. I should've known the experience would've been bad based off the one server I saw smoking her pen while "working". read more

If you're planning to have a birthday here , DON'T DO IT !!!!!! I was really looking forward to celebrating my birthday here and getting some good food that everyone was talking about . However they didn't happen at all . I payed to have the vip section at the restaurant from 4-7. When my party arrived there it was still people sitting in the section. The restaurant employees did ask them to move however the customers decided to order more bottles so they can stay longer in the section. Instead of moving that group of people to a different section they continue to let them stay and buy bottles and sit my party at a table for 4 when I had 10 people with me and not everyone had chairs . This business showed me they cared more about the money than serving their customers. Also some of their staff need more hospitality training asap. read more
