Chef Jean-Pierre Duqueroix
Food Rating: Grade Pending: (F) 1. None of the items have allergen information listed. 2. ServeSafe Managers & Allergen Credentials are not readily in view of customers. 3. Several employees were consuming food on the line and a male in the rear did not change gloves before serving a drive thru customer. 4. There was open boxes and visible garbage in the food prep areas that was not properly disposed. 5. There were several food service items (the boats) that were turned up when food was not in preparation to be placed in them.
Ambiance: The outside of the facility was clean in accordance with the community standards (it’s in a developing area).
The Food and Service: The people were nice and accommodating which was the best part of the experience.
I ordered the footlong hotdog special with the onion rings as a side. The beverage was water.
The hotdog was tough as rubber. The Bread was stale. The chili was not worthy of taste or quality and would definitely not pass as consumable to canned dog food companies. The slaw was a shame and embarrassment to the organization.
The onion rings, appears to be store breaded, were simply greasy and burnt.
The Banana Split was a sliced banana with a thin layer of soft serve ice cream, drizzle of chocolate sauce, raw- syrup tossed walnuts (very hard), canned pineapple, canned strawberries, topped with a mountain of highly processed whipped cream, and 3 cherries that were so acidic that the sauce caused the cream to break. (Spoiled cherries kill people—just and FYI).
Tasting it was a disaster. Even after scaling back all of that cream it was just a mess pool of milk water and chocolate sauce. Sugar is hydroscopic which draws out liquids from food in this case the bananas and fruit that created a mess. The entire ice cream melted from a short walk from the counter to the table.
In my view after 70+ years the quality has definitely decreased from what I ate in this facility as a small kid. This is very disappointing and if the business is to survive then the management really should consider hiring a real executive chef (not manager) and the owners should scale competition.
I say this as a fair warning because I’m relocating from NYC to ATL and I will determine if I should contact you to purchase this company and restore it and make it better—or if it’s cheaper—to just open up shop close to your locations and put you out of business. You should be truly ashamed to serve this food in the Black Communities to hard working people who have supported your business for decades and the younger (or new owners) have resorted to feeding them food not fit as animal feed.

I like the place. It's an oldskool restaurant with an oldskool feel. The chicken isn't restaurant style with loads of herbs and spices. It's a country homemade style chicken where the flavor comes from good cooking technique. The chicken here is packed with flavor, too! It is really juicy and crispy. They have great temperature control. Their prices are good, too. They have fried okra as a side choice, which I really like. I brought some up to my son's nana and she recognized the chicken from across the room without even seeing the packaging. She just looked at a chicken leg "Is that Zesto's!?"

I pass by the place often, and never thought to stop.... let's just say it's my go to for a Double burger!! Fresh, hot, delicious!
The customer service was outstanding, they were very pleasant and patient with us while we figured out what we wanted. We both ordered the chili cheese hot dog I got fries and my friend had tater tots, also I got a peanut butter shake and he got a strawberry sundae. Fries had absolutely no seasoning on them AT ALL. I couldn’t even eat them they were so plain. The hot dog didn’t taste like a hot dog or look like one. It tasted like a boiled Vienna sausage. Red on the inside and greyish looking on the outside as if it had been sitting in water all day. On the other had the toasted bun that it came in was very good I didn’t eat the hot dog I just ate the bread with the chili. Tables were not clean we had to clean our own table. Peanut butter shake was ok I give it a 7/10. Because the customer service was good I’m willing to try for a 2nd time but maybe the Forest Park location this time. That hotdog really disappointed me. Keep the friendly customer service up tho because that’s the only reason I’m willing to try again
