150.00 for 3 drinks, turkey burger with no cheese, cold hard fries. Fried chicken was hard. My drink was trash. Took a min for the food to come which is ok if its good! Oh yea a hookah as well. BY FAR THE WORST FOOD I HAVE HAD IN A GOOD MIN. I THINK THEY CHARGED MORE CUZ THE TIME OR SOME.

It was alright, Went on a Saturday it was slow and our server still moved slow and didn't check on us. I had catfish and fries both lacked flavor. Restrooms were awful. Seen a kitchen employee go to the restroom and not wash his hands.

Live music is way too loud and the performers can't sing. I understand they do the best they can however, it's overshadowed by the loud as speakers sitting directly over you or close proximity. Plus the music they were playing is for people in there 50's. Not for mid to late 30s early 40s. All the while you're trying to enjoy your company. Service is below average, drinks terrible, food was good but certain dishes aren't freshly made, they don't like taking terrible drinks back. They want to grab the manager and negotiate. Then bring better drinks to make up for the ones that should have been poppin in the first place. That's why it's so hard to consistently support our own people when they try to cut corners and don't care about the backbone of who really supports them.

Food was good however they automatically added 20% gratuity for a party of 3 when it says gratuity for party of 6. When asked waitress stated they also add gratuity when bill is over $100. Kind of shady that the waitress conviently wrote thank you

My birthday is in November and I wanna bring some friends there but it’ll be like mid day around 4. Is that a good time?????

Danielle Martin | Nov 8, 2018
Gaylynn James | Nov 8, 2018

Midday would be too soon if you want to enjoy the live band I advise you to make reservations if you have a large party because there are 2 separate sides to the restaurant one side you can see to band the other side you cannot The band is only there on Fridays and Saturdays So you may want to ask who's playing But we had such a good time I believe you will too

Hi we welcome all HONEST feedback. But, be honest in your depiction of events. We use these critiques to grow as a business. You ate all of your food except THREE bites. You requested a manager after the server told you she couldn’t take the scraps of food back. I reiterated that we do not give refunds for food that has been eaten. You decided to get loud and belligerent with me. For those reasons you were removed from the establishment. We do not tolerate harassment of any kind. You have also stated that you don’t support “black girl magic” so you don’t support women of color. Your feedback is unwelcomed here. Be Blessed
