There was a line inside the restaurant but there didn't seem to be a host/hostess, so we just stood awkwardly until we could seat ourselves when an open table became available. We ordered three 20 piece wings. Apparently they let you order wings crispy or extra crispy, so we tried both and I much preferred the extra crispy wings. The wings are also pretty big, definitely more meat than bone. The only flavor comes in buffalo, which isn't my favorite but it was done very clean. The blue cheese dressing was also surprisingly very good, and I normally cannot even stomach the smell of blue cheese! We also got a basket of fries and onion rings and those were just standard and done well, but nothing special. I would highly recommend anyone who enjoys buffalo wings to come here and try this place!

Slightly greasy but not too much and the taste is there. I especially like their burgers. SERVICE: friendly and accommodating. I will note that my friend had tried to contact them about a mistake with a to-go order but other than that their service has been great. But beware with to go orders but YMMV. AMBIANCE: diner/sports bar. Can be loud but not too loud. Note if a game is on there may be cheering. Casual and comfortable. PRICE: well priced... if I remember correctly about $15 for a burger.

My wife and I had been hearing a lot about the wings at Ray J's, so we decided to check it out for…read moreourselves. When we walked in, the hostesses greeted us right away and asked if we preferred the bar or dining side and we chose the dining area. Not long after, our server Jordyn stopped by to take care of us. We ordered everything at once, starting with the Szechuan green beans and pizza fries, along with three different kinds of wings: garlic parmesan, lemon pepper, and smoky ranch. It took a little while for the food to come out, but once it did, it was well worth the wait. The wings were loaded with flavor, and I really liked that they served whole wings instead of just flats or drummies. The booths were comfortable and roomy, and the big screen TVs made it easy to keep up with the college football games. Between the great service, flavorful food, and relaxed atmosphere, we were more than happy with our visit. Parking was also easy, and since the place is tucked away a bit, it feels like a hidden gem. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.

What I support for this establishment is less about its food but more about its message and the way…read moreit serves communities. Ever since 2020, the climate surrounding the George Floyd Square has changed dramatically, and this establishment has become an even stronger integral part of the community as the square itself had represented how the community thrives with its people. A lot of respect for the establishment from that perspective. In terms of food, I would say the soul food, which contained mostly sides, were the main highlight for me. The mac & cheese was salty enough. The fries were solid in a "you can't really go wrong with it" type of way. The candied yams had enough sweetness. The collard greens could taste better but standards must be lower when they're not homemade. I also enjoyed the catfish fillets as they were fried to preserve enough hotness and softness. A lot of what they served, they made on the spot, which was what may be causing longer wait for some. Meat-wise, a lot of items could use further improvement because they were too dry, such as the smoked wings and the beef brisket. The wings were dry to the point that they condensed and got extremely salty. The brisket relied a lot on the sauce and the existing fat on the meat for juiciness while the meat itself didn't have a lot of flavor or juice. As for the ribs, they had some seasoning, and tasted just fine, and weren't as dry. But I have had ribs in Texan barbeque places before and knew what "seasoned" ribs were like and therefore concluded that the ribs here were not spectacular. With all that said, however, I still will return here as often as I can because I love supporting this business. The person serving me was very hospitable and patient. I still got some pretty solid barbeque even if it's not Texas. Besides, outside just the barbeque food, the soul food was solid, like I had mentioned above.

The bartender was pretty casual, but efficient and friendly during my stay! I went with the classic Rush Hour 4, since that was what I had seen most on social media! It was delicious perfection! The fried rice is fresh, with some veggies to give it a bit of uniqueness. The chicken tenders are the star...crispy, juicy, lovely flavor!

Tender Lovin Chix moved into a sizable brick&mortar restaurant out of what I assume was a successful food truck. My to-go order came out of the kitchen quickly (~10 min) which I appreciate but I waited awkwardly at the host stand and ordered food from the bar. There seems to be table service but only one server for the whole dining room and no host. Hopefully it's just a wrinkle that will get smoothed out over time. There are TVs all over the place so the game is the vibe. The interior is clean and there's a spacious bar that looks comfortable to eat and drink at. There is plenty of seating inside and also patio chairs and tables on the sidewalk. You'll find a few parking spaces out back. So, it's got more going than your average sports bar but still seems like more of a casual spot than sit-down dining. My chicken sandwich was juicy inside and crispy outside with a buttery soft bun holding it all together. The side of fried rice had a good texture and mild, pleasant flavor. The onion rings were classic - thick and fried crisp. Everything was well prepared and tasted great. It's real comfort food that will hit just right when paired with a beer or cocktail and a win from your favorite local sports team. I didn't see many veggie options on the menu which was not a surprise. Bottom line - if you want some fried chicken, this spot is worth a shot.
