Selected this spot for birthday weekend. Sunday brunch and music. I was not disappointed with the…read moreatmosphere. The music was spot on and the MC was interactive and entertaining as well. The vibe was nice. You must make a reservation! This is what I enjoyed: Side of Lamb chops: 10/10 tender, meaty, nice smoky and sweet flavor, well seasoned. Side of Mac and cheese: 6/10 a bit dry, needs a bit more seasoning, if both of these things were not an issue it would be perfect. Oxtails and jollof rice: 10/10 oxtails were full of flavor and enjoyable. They could have been a bit more tender. Overall the flavor carried it to a perfect 10. The rice is seasoned and a bit smokey and cooked to the perfect doneness. Table bread: 9/10 puff puff style bread. They were fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Brought out first and provided with every meal. It had a sweet seasoning mix on it. The mix to me was more for after dinner instead of right before the meal. Dusse mimosa: 10/10 nice and stout. I prefer Dusse over Hennessy which is what was on the menu. Jerk chicken: 10/10 flavorful wings. Jerk seasoning was there and not too spicy. Cooked just right and not dry. Collard greens: 6/10 savory flavor. I am a collard greens specialist and I prefer a sweet and hot profile. Although these are just savory they were cooked to the correct tenderness. Candied yams: 10/10 get blend of cinnamon and sweet flavor. Cooked perfectly.

Tried out this restaurant while visiting Dallas!…read more THE BAND! THE BAND! I'd come back just to hear the band the DJ! The entertainment was on point! Our server was great but she was handling many tables! Drinks: Sidecar (5/5) got two of them!! Food: They start you with complimentary beignet style puffs..eh these are alright...very greasy. We split the Oxtail spring rolls (3.5/5), collard green egg rolls (4/5), Catfish & Grits (just a tad salty but good... 4.5/5), Oxtail & Grits (no real Jamaican flavor 2.5/5), Mac & Cheese (literally taste like noodles and cardboard box 0/5), Collard Greens (very salty and interesting flavor (3/5), Yams (4/5) Hostess: Seemed like she had an attitude and not personable AT ALL. I also watched her rub her bare feet at the host stand. Plenty of parking!

I visited Salt and Pepper today and I have a lot to say. I have been missing home and craving Amala…read moreand Gbegiri for a while now and my sister for a while now has been talking about Salt and Pepper. First of all that's such a lovely name for a restaurant. So I'm in Dallas for the day and my sister decided to take me to the "famous salt and pepper" for some Gbegiri and Amala and all I can say is wowzersss. We walked into the restaurant and the space was big . The ambiance was not bad and the restaurant was clean. We ordered our food and all I can say is that the food was very tasty and one of the best and if not the best Amala I have ever eaten. The meat was so soft and the Amala was just the right size. The food was delicious! The flavor from the meats and the stew with the Gbegiri was just amazeballs!! To the chef well done. The hostess was very nice and professional.

I have been a regular customer of this restaurant for over a year, spending approximately $200-$400…read moreper month. I was introduced to the restaurant by a colleague, Jordan, who happened to be a relative of the owner. While the food is generally good, the management is a shit-show. The main issue is the red-haired manager whose attitude has been consistently arrogant, condescending, and dismissive. Over the past year, I've had several negative interactions with him. The first incident occurred when I requested stew without beef. I wasn't asking for a discount and was willing to pay the full price, yet he flatly refused the request until the owner stepped in and resolved the matter. The second incident involved a catering order for jollof rice. I informed him that I would pay upon pickup the next day. Despite being a regular customer for over a year, he insisted that I pay in full before he would even enter the order into the system. I complied. The next day, I called to let him know I would be picking up the order a day later. No matter how many times I explained that the order had already been paid for and that I didn't mind if it was refrigerated, he refused to listen. The conversation only ended when I challenged him on what exactly he intended to do with food that had already been paid for. The final incident happened today. I called in a pickup order for a plate of okro,$42,and arrived at the restaurant. Although he clearly saw me standing at the counter, he remained seated for some time before acknowledging me I knew there was going to be another bullshit today.When he finally approached, he asked if I was picking up an order and requested my name. Considering I've been a frequent customer for over a year, this was surprising but not an issue in itself. After I gave my name, however, he immediately began questioning why I had arrived late, stating that he had been given me 30 minutes to pick up the order. I asked what would have happened if I hadn't arrived within that timeframe. Instead of answering, he repeatedly insisted that I should have followed the pickup time. I asked multiple times whether he intended to give me my order, but the conversation quickly escalated into a shouting match even using the f-word. Then i turned back ready to leave without the food until another employee stepped in and called me back from the door.Eventually, this manager went over to the kitchen and brough my food, and I paid for it. However, after reflecting on the interaction, If he could be that vicious even in my presence,only God knows what he must have done at the kitchen with my food.I felt so uncomfortable with the situation that I threw the food away. A $42 of my hard earned money. Unfortunately, because of the manager's openly hostile attitude toward paying customers, I have no intention of returning to this restaurant ever again!And it is no longer a place I can recommend for anybody. Looking back, whenever I read negative reviews mentioning this manager, I always question,how hard could it be to treat people with respect. Especially your paying customers. After my own repeated experiences, I now understand exactly what those customers were describing. Again the response about not hold fooding because of food poison did not address the nasty attitude from your manager. This your response even make it seems that you encourage him to rude to customers. There many restaurants that keep food in the warmer for all day.chipotle,pappadeux for example. If thats even the case, is that why your manager pointing fingers at me and telling me that he had been watching me? This is what your regular customer deserve for their patronage? Is that why he refused to bring the food out until i almost left?

I had a $15 gift card for one of the food delivery services. I think the person who gave it was…read morethinking coffee but I was thinking, who gets coffee delivered? I forgot so about the card until someone asked me if I used food delivery companies. I loved them in the past but had some odd experiences. Nevertheless since I was in TX and not familiar with any of the local restaurants I decided to pick food the person I was with had never tried. After researching several options I landed on this place. I ended up ordering several items so I could get the person to try a variation and so I could get a good idea of their approach and how they prepare specific dishes. Especially in the DFW area. I'm American but have worked in parts of Africa in the 90s and lived in NY and the DC areas. I'm from CA and it took much longer for West African food products to make it west. I ordered over $200 worth of options. The pricing made me change my mind on 3 different occasions on separate days over 2 weeks. I then justified by thinking, that if the portions are fair I food freeze items and/or eat leftovers a few times with the spices marinating and getting better. Overall, I was very pleased. I've attached a photo of my receipt and food. I wish they had placed more of the spicy pepper paste being that in every note, I wrote spicy or extra spicy and there wasn't an option for condiments. Some of the pieces of meet in the dishes were sparse or just the fat. The pieces of goat in the curry, egusi, and okra could have been cooked longer but the flavor of all three dishes was delicious. The person who had the food for the first time enjoyed the spices but their expressions when asking questions related to each item, were hard to decipher. They don't have a mature palid and stick to what they like (bad food) for over 50 yrs. When I brought habaneros to cook with, they had no clue what they were, even though their mexican salsas said habanero was in it but the peppers on the bottles were not habaneros. The added rice with the dishes was very good even though I bought the jollof rice as well. Having both was smart. Again. I wish I had more African pepper paste The person I was with LOVED THE PLANTAINS.. T wasn't surprised. They were ripend and cooked to perfection. I had to hide them so when more food was being tasted the focus would be on the others. I was right about having leftovers and nothing went to waste.I even served the rice with fish dishes I prepared later in the week. Yes, I would choose this restaurant again!!! However, I think I'm going to drive there and order to see if the portions are the same and if I'm saving any money. Oh, I forgot to mention that the restaurant did and excellent job of packaging the food abs placed all bags and containers in a box. There was only one container that had saran wrap that leaked due to it being squashed and cracked. The way it was wrapped.. saved the dish!!!

Tasty Tails has become one of my go to seafood spots, especially when I'm craving charbroiled…read moreoysters and crawfish. Even though I'm a returning customer, I still believe in giving an honest review. One thing I've always appreciated is the customer service. I'm greeted as soon as I walk in, and I've rarely had to wait for my food unless it's peak crawfish season, football season, or they have a guest DJ performing. The staff always keeps things moving, even when they're busy. The only downside for me has been the noticeable sewer like smell inside the restaurant. It can be a little distracting and uncomfortable while you're trying to enjoy your meal, and it's something I've experienced on more than one visit. Now for the food. The charbroiled oysters are the reason I keep coming back. They're grilled to perfection every single time. The oysters stay tender and juicy never rubbery or overcooked and they're served with lightly toasted French bread and fresh lemon wedges that pair perfectly with all that buttery, seasoned goodness. The crawfish is another standout. The flavor reminds me a lot of the crawfish you'd find at the Blue Store in New Orleans iykyk. You can tell they're using more than just Old Bay because the seasoning has depth and a great balance of spices without being overwhelming. Even better, the crawfish are soaked in the seasoning instead of just being sprinkled on the shells, so every bite is flavorful from the inside out. My only disappointment this visit was the catfish po'boy. Unfortunately, the fish tasted more like whiting than catfish. While it was fried well and dressed perfectly with all the right toppings, the fish itself had a very basic flavor that mostly tasted like seasoned cornmeal. I was hoping for a true catfish fillet with more Cajun seasoning and a little more personality. Overall, Tasty Tails continues to be one of my favorite seafood spots. The charbroiled oysters and crawfish alone are worth the visit, and the friendly service keeps me coming back. If they can address the odor inside the restaurant and improve the po'boy, this place would be even harder to beat. I'd definitely recommend giving them a try, especially if you're an oyster or crawfish fan.

The Egusi Soup was delicious (one meat was a bit tough in this soup but not in my sisters Okra Soup), the price for the portion was not ok. The dish came out in a lovely brown wooden bowl, but the bowl was way too small for the price point. I have traveled all over in the US and in Africa and I can say this was one of the best soups I have ever tasted!!!! The flavor was 10 out of 10 ! I did speak with the young man that was there about that price and portion ratio , he was very polite. I think price and portion need to be revisited in order to keep customers coming back. Don't change the flavor at all!!! The drinks are very good as well as the price, we had Rum Punch. The restaurant was very clean as well; there is a sink available to wash your hands you don't have to go into a restroom to do that (reminds me of some African restaurants when I travel aboard) Also, the menu price on the menu is not what my sister was charged she had the Okra Soup and the menu stated $20 but she was charged $25 we questioned the young man due to the menu having one price and my sister being charged another, he did advise the price on the menu is being updated. I think customers should be alerted when an order is placed that the price on the menu is not the correct price before it is rang up in the cash register. I think a paper print out of the correct price will be ok until the new menu/QR scan menu is ready. We spent $80, if I am going to spend that much on a meal I don't want to be hungry in 3 hours or at least have enough to take with me to eat later and reheat at home as leftover. Also, the friend that suggested this place did warn me about the portions, but I was like ok let me go see for myself. I am only giving a 3 star due to the price and portion if the soup
