These people are too damn slow. I had to call over 3 times just for the guy to deliver a correct message. The worst customer service I ever had in my life. I just wasted my time. They need to move fast. How I really feel I’m not gonna post! They need to take business classes or something.

Ms. Jones was welcoming and pleasant, and this place came highly recommended so I was excited! All I ordered was a Creole chicken dinner with greens and yams, over $25. I get all the way home and open the dish and I have macaroni and cheese instead of greens. I take a bite of the yams, they are not hot. Very disappointed.

If I could give this place zero stars I would, service is terrible! Everyone from the nasty manager, kitchen staff, and the owner! Hours of operation are NEVER consistent, wait times are long which is somewhat understandable , “if the food is fresh” which it’s not….it’s microwaved leftovers, at least that’s what it tastes like, the price and quality of the food was not worth an hour wait! Smothered chicken was very salty, greens were very salty, housemade drinks are nothing but overly sweet koolaid! And to put the icing on the cake they had MICE running in the lobby….MICE as in plural more than 1, when I made mention of it and asked to speak to a manager I was greeted by a not so friendly staff member Shanae, who threw every excuse at me as to why they’re were mice running around, in so many words she just wanted me to leave! I’m NEVER spending another dime in this place and I’m going to encourage anyone who does, so at your own risk!

The food was decent. Had the smothered wing, greens and Mac. Mac was good. Greens and wings had way too much salt. Blacks folks already got hypertension, lay off the salt a little and it will be 5 stars. They didn't put my corn muffin in my uber eats order ?.

So I ordered the Creole Chicken with 2 sides....well, the chicken was #Dry & I couldn't enjoy it nor 1/2 eat it; the bell peppers texture was as if they were blanched & still firm as just cut (naw naw, then peppers should've been softer and taste of the seasonings the chicken was cooked with) The macaroni and cheese was sitting in a bunch of oil and not so tasty (mind you two types of elbow past was used & I'm a cook, so I spotted it out instantly). The sweet potatoes was the best thing served....although they were a bit dry (how do you NOT turn sweet potatoes over in their own juice? Looking like they sat under the heat lamp all day). The little bitty roll they wrapped in all that foil was beige.....as in needing to go back in the oven to get some color and a lil butter on it.Yup, wasted $25.90 on what should've been a great dinner. Don't know if their cooks were the original cooks; somebody stressing in their personal life back in that kitchen, or somebody had it in for the boss......but whatsoever it is, it needs to be fixed! It's the reviews that's going to draw or run consumers.

Just ordered food today! Got home. Mac and cheese looked like yesterdays food, it’s hard. This place used to be good.

Tried this soul food place for the first time today and I don't understand how anyone is giving this place an honest review with anything over 1 star. None of the food had flavor or seasoning. My 11 year old threw her mac and cheese and greens away. I had to toss the red beans and rice and cabbage. The only item edible was the fried chicken. I suggest if this place wants to remain in business that they hire a different cook who can provide some flavor to the food. Sunday should be a busy day so it's no way I wouldn't have a top cook working in the restaurant. Also with everything going on near where this restaurant is located, they have the nerve to ask you to wait in your car while they make your food. This was my first and last time visiting this restaurant.

I have always lovedddddd CFOTR! been supporting them for years, but i think the cooks have changed and so has the food. The food was really overly salty this time..couldn't even eat it.

They are very unprofessional when a Uber eat person. Get a ticket for food for their company. They use people that they know which is fair to the person people who work hard for the and this place need to start deal with the right way to more Professional way when dealing with Uber eat.
