    Mashed potatoes, green beans and okra and corn mixed
    Maisha H.

    Like most people, I stumbled upon this place. I was dying for some breakfast so I popped in thinking they would have breakfast. But it was at the end of the 10 o'clock hour and they had started serving lunch. So I figured why not get some great veggies. Everything looked like I had just been brought out which was good so I was catching it fresh. The mashed potatoes tasted real with chunks of potatoes here and there. The green beans were ok. Soulfood/southern green beans tend to be over cooked in my opinion. My personal preference is for them not to be as limp or soft. I'd say what set the score down is this okra corn and stewed tomatoes. It tasted like straight up ketchup. No matter how many times I tried to close my eyes and put a new fork-full in my mouth, I just felt like I was eating a bottle of Heinz ketchup. It wasn't even tomatoey, it was literally Ketchup. That's unfortunate because it looked pretty fresh and I was excited to try it. Definitely need to go back to the drawing board with that dish. Perhaps one might have better luck with the meat. There seem to be a lot of variety with meat. Otherwise, the establishment was relatively clean and set up cafeteria style. The people behind the counter were friendly. It's right outside of the city so employees aren't wearing masks but they do have a sign up requiring patrons to wear masks although that isn't followed.

    Meatloaf greens and Mac and cheese.

    Philly Me Up Cheesesteaks... listen... this place surprised me in the BEST way…read more From the outside, you'd think you're just pulling up for a quick bite... real chill, nothing too fancy. But baby when you walk in?? It's a whole cheesesteak lounge. Hookah, drinks, music, DJ... a whole vibe. I was like oh okayyy y'all doing something in here! The ambiance is EVERYTHING. And they're expanding with a patio, so it's only going up from here. Now let's get into the food... because the cheesesteak?? Hands down the BEST in the city. I said what I said. The eggroll appetizers were hitting, the drinks were GOOD, and my first visit? 5 stars immediately. And let me tell you... it might be new but it's not staying quiet. I've been back several times and it's been PACKED. They've got bottle service if you're trying to turn up with your girls, and Pretty Girl Tuesdays?? Yeah... we had a TIME. I love it so much one of my friends ended up working there, and I'm definitely going to keep supporting her and the owners. Big shoutout to them coming from Philly and bringing this to the city... they did that. Now... because I actually rock with them, I'm gonna be real. They need to tighten up on consistency. My first time was flawless, but the visits after haven't always matched that same energy. Still good enough to keep me coming back, but I need that same experience every time. Customer service is where the biggest opportunity is. I need my servers checking in, staying attentive, and making sure everything flows right. And please don't bring my food out in pieces. I don't want fries now, cheesesteak later, appetizer somewhere in between... that's a pet peeve. But overall? I LOVE this place. The vibe, the food, the energy... it's there. Just tighten it up a little and it's going to be unstoppable.

    When you see this, it's asking what you don't want. We couldn't figure it out until it was too…read morelate. Check this box for what you don't want. Phillies were stacked with meat. Shrimp and broccoli egg rolls were a flop. Tasted like it was on an over fried potato. You will get patted down when you pick up your food and you have to find parking because they rope off the parking lot. $8 for fries that aren't great!

Service: Our waitress was Armani and she was amazing!!! From the time she came to our table to introduce herself until we paid our bills, she was energetic, continously checked on us, and immediately fixed any issues from the kitchen. If you go, ask to sit in Armani's section. Food: Our table of 5 had mixed reviews on the food. Some thought the wings were good while others thought they were unseasoned other than the sauce on top. We generally enjoyed the Jamaican patties despite the confusion on our "patty flight." We were initially given 2 curry patties and later told it was because they didn't have anymore jerk patties. However, we were later sent a jerk patty, so that was confusing. Entertainment: This is where they lacked and why I wouldn't come back. We arrived at 7:30pm. During the time we were there, there was a boring old school play list and the songs people chose for karaoke. We came for karaoke because we'd been told by the bartender that night gets packed. That's not true, at any given time there weren't anymore than 10 tables with guests. Additionally, management was very strict about what songs could be performed for karaoke and told paying customers we couldn't curse. When I asked about this policy, the manger told me it was the traditional global way to be family friendly. If that's your thing, this would be the place for you but it didn't fit our needs for a girl's night and the women in our group were 35-55. Lastly, the two managers appeared to micromanage every move the servers and bartenders made, it just felt weird.
