The Taste of Heaven just happens to be one. I recently spent nearly $70 on 2 chitterling dinners ( don't judge) but what I got was 2 rice dinners with just a coating of chitterlings on top. After waiting over 20 minutes, being only customer when I arrived , I was told that there wasn't enough chitterlings to fill both my orders and offered me oxtails on the platter with the least. Tired of waiting I agreed. When I tasted the chitterlings and the oxtails it was obvious that they had been thawed a couple of time. They were so over seasoned and spicy hot that it was closer to a taste of hell! On a positive note, the place was very clean with the strong scent of Pine Sol in the air, and the lady who took my order was very nice. But, I was so disappointed in the food, I couldn't rate them more than a 2. WE HAVE TO DO BETTER !

I went with the intent of trying their vegan bean burger which was the only option on the menu via their website, however that is no longer served. Good news is that there is a Gullah bowl option for vegans. The Gullah bowl was delicious especially when topped with the peach vinaigrette dressing. The other members in my party thoroughly enjoyed the whiting and catfish dishes which they found to be well seasoned, the steak cooked to perfection, and the fried green tomatoes which one member in my party stated that they were the best she'd ever tried. The food came out quickly, no long wait. The only criticism is that the fried okra had no seasoning. Other than that, the food was good, service was great. I'd visit again.

It's a Bar with booths and tables, even set up for live music. All the food comes out in styrofoam, even plastic utensils so definitely nothing fancy. Food is just okay, I think better if having a few cocktails. Had the Catfish and fried okra. My husband had the pork chop, mac&cheese, sweet potato and Greens. Again, the food is just okay. Reasonably priced. This is all my personal opinion.

I don't leave reviews as a rule, but this was SCARY food - the public needs to know or the…read moreestablishment needs a major change. Decent selection of food, but most of it at room temperature or close. I didn't dare eat the chicken when it was clear that it had been sitting there for a while at room temperature, will be shocked if I'm not sick tomorrow. Same with the cobbler. I tried the rolls and garlic bread - both so hard as to be completely unpalatable. Salad bar was probably the best part, but everything there was very low quality as well. Beyond that, the food is all very underseasoned and bland. And how do you make cheesecake bland? I mean, how is that possible? All the server had to do was give my a seat, some water and clean utensils, and I did get a seat - but the knife had a big blob of something green stuck to it. They brought me a new glass of water when the first when dry, but it had a funny/bitter flavor that wasn't there in the first one. Considering the fact that the knife wasn't clean, I would assume the same went for the glasses. Worst of all, I left a tip at the table (not required for a buffet, and certainly not earned as noted above); but when I declined to tip at checkout, they had the nerve to ask if I had tipped at the table - as if tipping was somehow required. And then argued with me when I made it clear that asking was inappropriate. Incredibly rude and a terrible way to treat customers. I should have made more of a scene, but I calmly made my point clear, no need for more drama. Will not be going back, and will suggest nobody else does either - if you want a reasonable buffet experience anyway. Edited to add: After writing this review, I decided to research to see if I was the only one that had a bad experience, and found a LOT. On Yelp, they have more one star reviews that two, three or four stars - making me think that many of the 5 star reviews are not legit. Just go to Yelp, and sort by newest first, to see that 3 of the last 5 reviews were one star - 4 of 6 if you include mine. Also, according to the AJC, this restaurant has had multiple failed health inspections in just the last five years: November 2025: Scored 59/U (Unsatisfactory). Violations included food not held at proper temperatures and cross-contamination issues. December 2021: Scored 52/U (Unsatisfactory). The restaurant failed its routine inspection after staff were observed failing to wash hands, alongside improper food storage and temperature violations. May 2021: Scored 37/U (Unsatisfactory) 37? 37?? That's not just a fail, that's a not even trying.

Very nice inside! Unfortunately, that's where the "good" ends! The young lady at the front taking the orders, needs A LOT more training, seemed like it was her first day, but I doubt it. She's too timid and needs to learn to be more assertive and louder. I could hardly hear her. She didn't know enough about the menu items, and just really didn't seem like she knew what she was doing. Someone should have been up there with her if it indeed was her first day. I also asked for a receipt, she said it would be texted to me.... nope, never received it! My husband ordered the oxtail plate w/ rice, collard greens and cornbread. Now this is where tastebuds come into play. He LOVED it..said it tasted fresh. I, on the other hand wasn't impressed! Especially for the price we paid...close to $40, for the amount of food we DIDN'T get! For that price it shoud've been a few more oxtails on that plate! The only other good thing was their health score which was 100!! Yaay for that! Would I go back? Maybe, just to experience the ambiance and to sit down and eat.
