The food is generally good; however, during my last visit, the greens were not seasoned very well, and the dressing was quite sweet—much sweeter than usual. But overall, the food is still enjoyable.

I wouldn't recommend this place at all. The oxtails were so tough, they felt like they came from a rubber cow. The candied yams tasted straight out of a can, and it was clear they didn't bother adding any butter, cinnamon, or brown sugar. I really question how they can serve this. It's becoming clear that some restaurants aren't concerned with the quality of their food or the satisfaction of their customers.

I really don’t want to do this, but my last visit to the restaurant was quite disappointing. The food was bland and lacked any seasoning. This was my second attempt to give the place another chance, and unfortunately, it was just as disappointing as the first time. I hope you can find a chef who understands the importance of seasoning the dishes! If that happens, I believe you could be great again.

I will not do this with a number of negative comments bash. I'll say there's room for improvement. I had pork chops potato salad cabbage and yams. I ordered green beans, but I got green. The greens were a bit bitter. A small sugar would fix that. The cabbage was not seasoned and no onions or paprika in it. The potato salad and yams were pretty good. The pork chops were not seasoned either. They were perfectly fried, but the lack of spices made the experience overwhelming. Overall, customer service was great. The owner should consider a quality control taste test panel. This will give your restaurant an advantage in this competitive market. Good luck!

I ordered Brisket and Cornish Hen. Let me tell you, these people cannot cook anything. Both orders are in the garbage and I paid $62.00 for my lesson. They should not be in the business. Most of the eateries in my local are lousy. Nobody knows how to season food. All they do is use heat to cook it with absolutely NO flavor.
