I've missed my lunch hour and so did my colleagues, several times. Something as simple as calling in an order and picking it up is non existent. They can also do a better job in cleaning their restrooms. They are filthy. I am not an interior decorator, but clearly they don't re-invest in their restaurant with updates etc. Everything is very old and outdated. They need to close down for a few weeks and re-model. It really is a hole in the wall. The food isn't that great for us to return. We have given them plenty of opportunities. Find someone else to patronize.

That was my experience and seeing other guest coming in and getting treated the same way made me not want to eat here. It was 6:00pm & it wasn't packed at all so why were the employees standing around, chatting in a circle & not greeting their guest with a warm welcome. Plus the gentleman with black and blonde dreads need to do training again!!! How rude to ignore me and just hop on your phone while on the clock. Wanted to consider having soul food today in my area but this place will not be a go to, i love having a great experience & will be worth the bill.

The owner welcomed us, and the entire staff was very friendly. The food was good, most people in our party had wings. The adult beverages were yummy and substantial, so everyone was happy.

Ambiance: The spot is historic and well kept. It was clean and we were able to find street parking. Service: The service was friendly, patient, and informal. We came on a Wednesday around noon, so it wasn't too crowded. Our waitress was attentive. Food: The food was good overall, with some standout items and some leaving more to be desired. We started with the clam chowder soup. We found it to be a bit tangy, but it got the job done. We also go the fish dinner with buffalo sauce (on the side). The fish was really good. However, the mac and cheese was grainy. The flavor of the mac and cheese was good, but the flavor is subjective. I also got the oyster po boy sandwich. I was serviceable. It didn't knock my socks off, but I have no complaints. I did enjoy the sauce that came with it. The french fries were fluffy, in a good way. The cornbread was textbook and solid. I didn't wow us, but it was a sizeable portion. Conclusion: Overall, my curiosity has been satisfied, but I didn't get the wow factor. I would consider coming here if I had a strong craving for a fish dinner.

The meatloaf was a decent portion, but very bland. The ketchup helped it somewhat. The Mac and cheese was bland as well but it was cheesy, so I was ok with that. The texture and everything was fine. I wouldn't go out of my way to have this again, but if I'm in the area and wanted something , maybe. A little seasoning would probably change the experience!

Regardless of the challenges a business may be facing, customers come in expecting to feel welcomed and to receive the product or service they're paying for. Everyone understands that mistakes can happen, but how those mistakes are handled makes all the difference. Customers should be treated with courtesy, respect, and appreciation. A positive experience encourages people to return and recommend the business to others, while poor service can quickly lead to negative word-of-mouth. I wish I could have experienced that level of hospitality myself, because I truly wanted to support the business. Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing, and it reinforced how important customer service is. Great customer service is one of the strongest ways any business can build trust, loyalty, and long-term success.
