Customer Reviews
The entrance way is tiny. The older woman that is supposed to greet customers is not that friendly and came off a little rude. She told me they can’t take my order because they may not have enough food to fulfill it. The bartender was nice and the reason my order was placed. The atmosphere reminds me of a juke joint and that was kool. Good music! The fried chicken was fried to perfection but wasn’t seasoned. The greens could have been cooked a little longer. The yams had a different taste than what I’m used to the Mac n cheese was ok but has a garlic hint of flavor , not a huge fan . Also this meal was expensive. I did have cocktails ( on the high end) will I come back? Probably not but it was an experience. So I went back lol and I regret it! I got 2 oxtail plates and the oxtail were unde
Rob Ben's is the place to be. I'm from Mississippi and l absolutely love soul food. My waitress was very friendly "But" the bartender in the front with the dreads was very rude. He have no kind of customer service expertise. None at all. I started to walk out the door but l decided to not let the devil ruin my meal. Idk who the owner is of this establishment, but that bartender need some training. I give my waitress and restaurant an A,but l give the bartender a O. Rob Ben's l was not disappointed in my meal. It was very delicious and my waitress made sure l was served professionally. I will be back.
I had a wonderful time at Rob Ben's. Here were six people in my party. Parking was very convenient. Upon entering, we heard the sound of R&B music playing in. The background. The server, Serena, met us with a smile. We were seated within minutes. At the time, Serena advised us that she was the lone server. She took our drink orders, and then she assisted other customers. It wasn't long before she returned with drinks. She then took our food order. After maybe 15-20 minutes, our food arrived. We were pleased to see the generous size portions of each meal. The food was seasoned well. Not too much, but just enough to taste the flavor. My entire party had to go bags. We took a group picture and included a picture with Serena. She is now our honorary sister. The food was delic
I was shocked to see the amount of fish I got, it was so yummy, Prefectly soft inside and very crunchy outside. The cook gave me sample of the cake and I just had to add it to my take out order. The red beans and rices were so good and soft. The garlic green beans were too soft and the free corn bread was too sweet for my liking. The service was amazing, it feels like I’m dropping by a family’s house when I stop at Rob Ben’s! Thank you!
The food comes out piping hot so make sure you don't burn your mouth! Everything was expertly seasoned and the wait staff was fun and attentive
