Don't order dessert.
I've been there three times, and the past two times I did not post a review because they didn't make an impression. Today, however, they did.
We started off pretty rocky. The lunch menu printed on the board outside their door was incorrect, and when we did order off the "correct" paper, we were told one of the sides wasn't available after our waitress went to put the order in. As a side note, she did a great job with all of this.
We ended up waiting for our drinks until after our food got to the table, and we were halfway done. Sweet tea - apparently the kitchen needed to make more.
The food was not great. I got the chicken, which was more like breading with some chicken in it (4 tiny pieces of chicken with extremely thick coating) that had the texture of frozen chicken and felt like it had been under a heat lamp far too long. My friend got the catfish, which was almost inedible. The sides were also not anything exciting. Heads up, there is bacon in the (canned) green beans - not good for those of us who don't eat pork. The fried okra was almost a highlight, despite the fact that it seemed reheated. I'm fairly certain the fries were the frozen ones you buy at Walmart.
Now, dessert was where our big issue happened. Listed on the lunch special was banana pudding, but "tiramisu" was brought out. It did not look like tiramisu at all, and the waitress thought there was ice cream in it. We asked for the banana pudding instead, and our waitress happily grabbed it for us. What came to the table was not banana pudding. It was a disgusting orange color, and looked like a sugar scrub. It was thick (formed stiff peaks/clumps), grainy, and altogether inedible. Neither of us took more than one bite.
Now, I won't go back because of the managers reaction. We told our waitress about the pudding issues, and she told her manager. Apparently, the manager decided telling the waitress that "other people like it" was a good enough response.
That was completely unacceptable from a management level employee, and I will not be returning because of how badly the manager handled it. We ended up paying and going to get lunch again elsewhere.
Previously, I had baked chicken with a cucumber salad, corn nuggets, and squash, which was decent. Also the lunch special, but they didn't even offer the dessert when they brought the check.
I've also had the pizza, which was decent, but the crust was definitely soggy in the center (small pizza with one topping).
My friend had the lunch there another day and said the food was pretty good, but the dessert (chocolate explosion) was disgusting. read more
