I probably could've gave just one star but I'm being generous. So apparently they just reopened and…read morebc of this, they don't have their liquor license yet. You wouldn't know that from the website nor just walking in. That would've been nice to know beforehand so we wouldn't have wasted our time. The inside has an interesting look and feel but they at least played some good music. We went for Sunday brunch around 11:30. The server was a bit slow, and it wasn't extremely busy. I ordered the fish and grits and my sister got the shrimp and grit balls. None of it was seasoned, with MAYBE the exception of the Cajun sauce that came in both dishes. If you're like me, you know it's not hard to even lightly season seafood or even grits, so it was disappointing the flavors, or lack of, that we got. Will we be back? Eh idk. It was close to my sister's house so that was the only plus.

Second visit -- same issues, different day…read more I came back to Tasteful Tom's for a second try, this time with my parents. I really wanted to see if things had improved since my last visit with a large party. Unfortunately, it still feels like a place with potential that's not being supported properly. When we walked in, I thought things had turned around. The new host (her first day) was amazing warm, confident, and professional. She gave a great first impression. But once seated, it went downhill. * The music was way too loud, to the point where we had to lean in just to talk. * There was only one server working the entire restaurant, which meant slow service, long waits, and a stressed-out vibe. Let's talk food: The fish and grits (see photo) were phenomenal easily the best thing I've had on both visits. Creamy, flavorful, and cooked just right. The chicken and waffles (see photo) were average. Chicken was seasoned okay, but the waffle was a bit underwhelming and slightly rubbery. This place could be a standout in the area the branding, the menu ideas, the food (when it hits) are all there. But the inconsistency, staffing issues, and volume level hold it back. Would I come back? Maybe, for the fish and grits. But only if I hear they've fixed the basics.

They let me sample a taste of the greens and oh boy they were flavorful too!!!! Unfortunately, I ordered the catfish extra crispy and it looked beautifully fried but when I bit into the crispy fish the fish itself was mushy. Yes mushy meaning that the fish was frozen for a long time to make it go mushy on the inside. I was so disappointed because the batter on the outside tasted delicious and a little salty for my taste. Also the fried chicken I ordered was a little too salty for my taste also. Gigi if you reduce the salt on the batter for the fish and chicken your food will be 10 out of 10. One last observation- too many flies in the restaurant. Please take care of this pest problem. Thanks!
