Saturday soul food brunch of classic dishes cooked to perfection. Inviting atmosphere, we will return.
I want to take the time to say Thank You!! To The Choice Restaurant for making my mom and her twin 72nd birthday dinner a special memorable time. My mom and her twin really enjoyed themselves. They talked highly about the food, service and atmosphere. Will definitely be returning.
I have been here 3 times in total. The first 2 times was ok. the food was not great but it was decent for the price. At the time they had the buffet prices like $13 before 2pm. I visited yesterday and the food was not the best per usual and on top of that they now charge dinner/reuglar price all day. I ended up paying over $50 for 2 people to eat LUNCH and the food is not worth that price AT ALL.
I hate to say it because the people were so nice, but the food is TERRIBLE. My first time ever eating spaghetti that almost had the texture of applesauce, and they were wrong wrong wrong for that dry mac and cheese.
Never again. Came in there the service is arguing with each other in front of me. Paid almost $30 for food that was awful. The food was cold. I never had mac n cheese that taste like staight up sour cream and nothing else. Chicken was waay too salty. They charging way too much for bad service and bad food.
I really really wanted to like this place, but I just can't. I'm not going to blaspheme against soul food by calling that stuff they were serving anything close to soul food. I also hadn't realized it was a buffet style restaurant (when I bought a certificate for the place on restaurant.com, they had a whole menu to order from. Imagine my surprise when we got there to this lunch lady cafeteria looking place. The food was COLD, had no flavor, what they called dressing was stove top stuffing, the macaroni was dry as hell with burned cheese on top. There was a tray that had what looked like tiny cubes of potato floating in some greenish water. The lady told me it was steamed broccoli. No ma'am, that's the part of the broccoli we usually throw away, where's the part that looks like a tree? Honest to goodness, that was THE worst spaghetti I've ever eaten. Not only did it taste TERRIBLE, it had the mouth feel of applesauce, super mushy. You could tell it was not only really cheap pasta, but they obviously boiled it for an hour and 45 minutes. The jiffy'ish corn muffin was so dry it just crumbled. And the sweet potato...notice I didn't say candied...was just a chunk of boiled sweet potato, no seasoning, no syrupy sauce, no butter. Our plates were still almost just as full when we left as they were when they served it to us. There was a sign stating only one dessert per customer. The guy that served us our food at the buffet kept hovering around us until my friend said she couldn't take it anymore. So we asked if we could just have our dessert to go, they told us there would be an upcharge for takeout. I will admit, the fried fish was EXACTLY the way I like it, not still soft and/or wet, but not cooked to death, a nice light hard fry. And the weird murky colored tea was flavorful, again, a real southern soul food cook would NEVER serve powdered tea mix, but it was pleasant tasting. But $5 for a glass of tea? The fact that the place was totally empty on a Friday night at 7pm should have alerted us that folks ain't busting down doors to eat here. The decor was pretty nice, the people were very sweet, but that cooking...smh. I've never gone to dinner with a friend and been in and out of a restaurant so fast. I think we spent a total of 20 minutes there. My friend paid, but later told me the bill was $60. That was $52 more than what it was worth.
If you want home cooked, soupdfood this is probably the best place to be. A great plus is how classy the place is. You won't be disappointed because there is something there for everybody.
I'm a driver and I went back to give it a try and the gentleman told me it was the best soul food place! That was a lie I had a partial turkey leg( cold didn't taste fresh) black eye peas ( horrible), and rice (never in my life thought rice would have an after taste). I was charged 18.62 + tax it came to an even 20.00 ...horrible there is not way the food was cooked on the same day I visited which was Wednesday....never again
The food was salty and old. The food taste like it’s being reheated not fresh at all. This place has definitely fell off since they first opened!!!
Food was cold and not good at all. I thought it would be good its basically cafeteria style . It is a very nice place but the food needs help.
