I come here often after church with family, and today I couldn’t overlook the numerous shortcomings of this restaurant. I firstly ordered an uptown, the drink tasted like it had been sitting for days. I sent it back. We went to order food and they were out of so many options, I settled on chicken wings. The table next to us although arriving after us, got their food first. Not ideal but okay. 10 minutes later the waitress comes out to say what we ordered is now sold out and they can’t get us that either. The food is usually okay while the service isn’t anything to boast about. The service today was absolutely terrible, from the spoiled uptown, not having things in stock, to upselling the chicken wings just to return later on and tell us they’re sold out. When the food finally came out, the

Party of 2 in the morning on a weekday. Firstly, entering the restaurant, some substance was on the ground directly outside the door, making it a bit sticky/slippery. I suspect it was oil, but the floor inside was much better. Upon entering, the host greeted us and prompted us to sit anywhere we pleased. Unfortunately, I no longer remember her name, but the host was knowledgeable and friendly throughout our experience, often checking in on us + other guests. We had the spicy chicken hash, eggs, grits, home fries, and toast for our meals. Everything was good, and I definitely would recommend the chicken hash. As we left, we bumped into another employee who asked how the meal was and if we needed anything else. After she introduced herself as Vonda, the owner. Overall, it was an enjoyable ex

Ok so I ordered the brioche French toast from this place the other morning . I was literally in utter disbelief when I realized that they have me a burger bun cut up as French toast. When I had looked through the reviews before going I seen people with triangular French toast with powder sugar etc . The service was ok it was early in the morning so I understand that the mood wasn’t a 10/10 . But the picture alone will speaks for itself . The portion was way too small for the price of $17. The food was also rock hard and not hot enough.

I’m very, very, very disappointed in the service. We were looking forward to having a great meal. We ordered a fish dinner and a few side dishes. But we were told, that they were out of fish. So the next day, we decided to call to see, if there’s any other options? Surprising to hear that they had what we wanted in the beginning. It was a little questionable to me at first. But anyway, long story. I’m not sure if I can give Vonda’s kitchen another try deceiving me or my family, again. We ordered fried fish, collard greens, yams, Mac n cheese, corn bread and potato salad. Two orders of everything and found the fish based upon the looks of it. It was flaky gluey and from a freezer, not fresh at all. Poor and an expensive investment. Cutting corners on someone else’s dime doesn’t sit well wit
