I love the loves Jones atmosphere black people networking great food music and drinks. Awesome spot to book events as well.
The only reason I give it a 3 star is bc it was one of the worst customer service experiences I’ve had in a loooong time. I ordered take out, the fish po boy, it took almost 30 minutes and there was only like 4 people dinning. The servers talked the entire time w/ patrons dining at the bar that seemed more like friends. After taking my order I was none existed to them for the next 30 minutes, no follow up. The worse part is the place was a mess. It was like they just wrapped up a party and didn’t clean yet, there was about 10 dirty cups on the bar in front of me and 6 mimosa flights dirty as well, plates on top of the trash can w/ left over food, champagne bottles on the floor that I really hope were empty. There was so urgency to get my food to me in a timely manner. I was on my lunch break and ended up coming back late, and I work less then a minute away. Sad bc the food was really good. I almost wouldn’t mind the wait if they were a little more customer service minded and clean instead of talking at the bar.
Great restaurant and food! Mimosa flight was good across the board and the highlight of the meal was the seafood gumbo soup. Holy smokes was it good and I would totally go back just for that. The breakfast bowl with beef sausage was spectacular as well with such a good mix of flavors. I was a bit disappointed with the chicken and waffles though. There is supposed to be a spice to it whether mixed with the syrup or at the very least in the breading of the chicken. No spice. The waffle, while nice and airy, was fairly flavorless too. So other than that downside, I fully intend on coming back for more gumbo and to try more of their creole/caribbean aspects of the menu!
Eat like you're at home; away from home at HotBox Bistro. Cajun Soul Fusion Specialists. I ordered two of my favorite cuisines. Steak Philly ?, Fresh Cut Fries ?, & a Pineapple? Chicken ? Rice bowl ?. The food is delicious, huge portions and reasonably priced. Friendly atmosphere and courteous staff. Definitely one of my favorite black owned establishments in Toledo, Oh. Everything on the menu is delicious. You can't go wrong here.??
