If I could give 0 stars I would. From the service, the food and costs, they all fail. The young women (if you wanna call the them that) who take the orders are horrible. They have no customer service skills and are quite brutish! I paid $54 for a wing dinner, chopped bbq and potato salad. The chopped bbq was horrible and was laden with lots of spice I guess to mask the blandness. The small portion was $15. For the wing dinner, wi ga were soggy, the mac and cheeses was old (dry and oily) and the string beans were offensive. They taste like canned beans and were mushy and flavorless. The potato salad was the only edible thing. But after tasting the other items I lost my appetite. And minority owned business wonders why they fail! The quality is nonexistent and the people employed could careles about customers returning. Fast money ain't always good money. This place needs to close already. They were better when they were up the street in the smaller place. But who am I?! - Takesha L. Ellerbie
