Server, too ME was very nice but VERY forgetful...like I don't require a lot Maybe because it was a Tuesday the restaurant was not very busy at all I told my server my order she sent the manager over who took my order...all I asked for was a fries shrimp basket, fried oysters - no fries, and steamed scallops in the Rock n Boss sauce - a mixture of all 3 of their sauces. Seeing as the restaurant wasn't crowded at all you would think that I would have gotten pipping hot food...nope...lukewarm at best For as long as it took me to get things last night you would have thought the restaurant was packed to capacity, nope The restaurant was clean and it is it as big as the Bowie location but we'll take it. The music was at a tasteful level...not to loud that you had to scream at other guest at your table but not so low that you would dismiss what was being played. No pics of food I'll be back because it's in my neighborhood but I hope the service is quicker

My recent visit to Rock & Toss in the busy Largo shopping center was disappointing, especially…read moregiven the prime location. I expected better. The experience started poorly upon entry: despite the lack of a crowd, the hostess was in a back room wearing a coat, which immediately suggested the restaurant was uncomfortably cold. We were seated without being informed about the Happy Hour specials.Our server, however, was friendly and attentive and provided good service, including bringing out complimentary popcorn. The major issues were with the food quality: * Chicken Wings: The wings looked and tasted old. When we requested fresh chicken, we were told it would take 30 minutes, which was strange since our original order arrived much faster than that. * Fish and Onion Rings: The batter on the fish was excessively thick and seemed to be the exact same heavy batter used for the onion rings. The Happy Hour drink prices were good, and the drinks themselves were fine, but overall, the quality of the food needs significant improvement. I hope the restaurant will invest in better marketing and, more importantly, elevate the quality food of its and preparation.

I am giving them two stars strictly for the excellent customer service and convenient location. However, the food did not please my taste buds. The jerk chicken seemed like it could have been great, but the sauce was somewhere between sweet and trying to be spicy? The 3 plantains I received were extremely dry, which made me think they had been sitting for a while. As for the rice and peas, simply put they were not good. I was excited to have a Caribbean spot around the corner, but I doubt I will be back. Much better options a little further out.

I actually came here last week to try them out but never got around to leaving a review…read more On my first visit, I ordered the fried fish sandwich with mac and cheese. Both were really good, but the fish sandwich was definitely the star of the show. The portion size was generous, and the flavor was outstanding. I enjoyed it so much that I decided to come back today. This time I ordered the same meal and added a fish platter. I also tried the newly added fried chicken wingettes, which were very good as well. I placed my order online, but when I arrived, I was told they had already closed at 3:00 PM. After I showed them that my order had been placed online before I arrived, they still took the time to make my food. Not only did they honor my order, but because of the mix-up, they hooked me up with an incredibly generous portion of fish. That level of customer service is exactly what keeps people coming back. Great food, generous portions, and excellent customer service--it's a winning combination. I highly recommend giving Taste Buddz a try. With food this good and service like that, I just might be back tomorrow!

The food at Taste Buds is actually very good that's the disappointing part. I wanted to support…read morethis business because I believe in supporting local businesses, but unfortunately, the customer service completely overshadowed the quality of the food. My experience with the owner was unpleasant. She came across as rude, dismissive, and lacking the level of professionalism customers deserve. I understand that running a successful business is stressful. Being short-staffed, dealing with equipment issues, or needing renovations can be frustrating, but those challenges should never be taken out on customers. We didn't create those problems, and we shouldn't be made to feel unwelcome because of them. As the owner, your attitude sets the tone for your entire establishment. If the person leading the business treats customers poorly, it naturally makes people wonder what kind of culture exists among the rest of the staff. First impressions matter, and customer service is just as important as the food you serve. Again, the food is good there's no denying that. But great food alone isn't enough to earn my business. People remember how they were treated long after they've finished their meal. I genuinely hope the owner takes this as constructive criticism. A change in heart, a little more patience, kindness, and respect toward customers could take this business even further. I would love to see Taste Buds succeed, but until the customer service improves, I won't be returning or recommending it to others. I sincerely hope things improve because everyone wins when businesses serve both great food and great hospitality.

The menu offers breakfast, apps, entrees, soup, seafood, and pasta, but you really need to focus on their super cheap weekday lunch specials, where you can choose from Jerk Chicken, Curry Chicken, or Stew Chicken for $8! I went for the Jerk Chicken, in which I had rice and beans, cabbage, and cocoa bread - there was a generous amount of chicken, but the pieces were just chopped haphazardly, so you'll be biting down in some shattered bones. The chicken itself was juicy with some good spice on its exterior, but the flavors could have permeated more throughout. The rice and beans didn't have much flavor, and the cabbage was just okay. The cocoa bread was super greasy and fluffy, but i felt that this addition wasn't really necessary. Food could have been more piping hot, considering we consumed it pretty much right away. I wish that some hot sauce came with, just to spruce it up a bit. Note that the wait could take a bit, as they do have long lines during the lunch rush! +$8 weekday lunch specials

I come to Tropicana about once a week, so this is not a review based on one bad experience. I…read moregenerally like the food, but the customer service from one particular employee has consistently been an issue. I'm referring to the smaller, slender-built guy with glasses who is usually working the register. Almost every time I encounter him, he comes across as irritated or like he does not want to be there. He is often on his phone, sucking his teeth, sighing, making smart remarks, and showing very little basic customer service. More importantly, he seems to have no ability or interest in de-escalating a situation when something goes wrong. Today was a perfect example. While placing my order, I noticed on the register screen that he had entered oxtails, which was not what I ordered. I pointed it out and he changed it. I also specifically asked for only cabbage/vegetables with my meal, but when I received my food they had given me rice instead, so I had to come back inside to have that corrected. After I got back to my car, I realized I had also been given four drumsticks. That part was not necessarily his mistake because he was not the person preparing the food. I also did not know that customers could request specific chicken pieces other than asking for white meat, because normally I receive a mixture and have never been given four drumsticks. What bothered me was his reaction when I had to come back inside again. He immediately started sighing and acting irritated, even though he was not the person who had to remake or fix the food. When I explained the issue, he made a smart remark asking, "Didn't you say that?" I told him no, because I did not know specifying individual pieces was even an option. Instead of simply explaining that to me or helping resolve the situation, he became disrespectful and cursed at me. That is where the bigger problem is. Mistakes happen. Orders get entered incorrectly and food gets made incorrectly. I can understand that. What I do not understand is an employee getting angry at the customer because the customer came back to have mistakes corrected. There is a serious lack of customer service and de-escalation skills here. If a customer is already coming back because something went wrong, sighing, sucking your teeth, making smart remarks and cursing at them only makes the situation worse. I asked for the employee's name and for the name of the manager or owner because I wanted to come back and speak with management directly about the repeated issues. Nobody would clearly provide that information. One person told me that this employee was the owner and manager, but I was not given any clear management contact information to verify that or speak with someone else about the situation. Again, I come here regularly and the food is why I continue coming back. But good food does not excuse consistently poor treatment of customers. Management needs to address how customers are being spoken to, especially when the customer is simply asking for an order to be corrected. Would easily be 4/5 if not for the rude cashier consistently and sometimes the meat is dry like today, more than a few pieces been sitting too long are were too dry to eat.
