Faye & Joe's Southern Bowl

Food was good. The sit down service was horrible!!!!

My first time trying today serve was good and fast but the food was not that good salmon was dry macaroni was dry yams was the only thing I really ate corn bread muffin was dehydrated lol seem like it was missing an ingredient probably won't be back

Customer service was excellent! Food is GOOD 👍🏾👍🏾 😋 smoke chicken is highly recommended 🔥 😋

Everything goo6 that I ordered. Dressing still to salty for me

Soul food at it's best

Visiting my family in the area and stopped here. This place looks great upon entering. Clean and inviting. Love the setup too! Hey in line, order and go. Some items were out but were being replaced. The catfish didn’t look appealing. Fried too dark and looked very dry. But never fear a hot pan of chicken wings were just coming out and looked delicious. I ordered that plus greens, Mac, and a side of yams. Extra corn bread but my sweets since I saw no pound cake and was told only the coconut cake remained. It was 4ish on a Saturday, for reference. Understandable. I was excited about the price versus the amount of food. So, let’s review the food. Yams are 20 outta 10. Greens are delicioussss with just the right amount of kick. Chicken wings a little in the salty side but tastes good. That Mac and cheese…it’s a no. Creamy, burnt cheese on top and I just knew it was going to hit. Nope! It tasted like it was too sour. I’ve also read a lot of reviews tonight and the Mac and cheese comes in often as a no. My suggestion would be to work on a new Mac and cheese recipe. Listen to your patrons. You have what it takes to REMAIN a successful business. The people love what you’re serving, most of it. Good job! I’ll be back to visit family again and I plan on giving it another try. I would have given 3.5 but Mac and cheese is like super important to me and my meal.

Honestly I've visited this place more than I'd like to admit. Everything new is good at first, but it's definitely not what I thought. The fish is good, chicken wings are ok, meatloaf will do. The macaroni 1/5 looks good, but doesn't taste like anything. You can tell there aren't any eggs in it and it's just put together. The greens 3/5 they're edible, yams 4/5, dressing 2/5 dry as ever and the muffin 5/5 is good... The drink fountain is never working and the have a small selection of drinks. I hate that when they take your order they put your sides inside the container and you're waiting for your protein to be brought up. Meanwhile your sides are cold and protein is hot. The point system rarely works, but shocking it was working on my last visit. There has been one that recently opened near me in Merrillville and I thought that one would be better, but it's definitely the same. I wish they were able to take constructive criticism well, but you love and learn. Wishing them the best of LOCK moving forward.

The food was ok. It's a good sign when people frequent your restaurant, but it's a deadly thing when you have as many leaving because you are too slow at plating, taking payments, and seating/or to-go meals. Today we decided to try them again. They close at 7pm, we got there before 5pm and they were closed for the day ??? Sorry ?

The customer service from the older shorter lady with the braids is not pleasant at all. If she works in a restaurant she needs to be trained how to interact with customers. The way she speaks to you is disgusting, if customers irritate her that much she should find a new profession. Today wasn’t the first day for her behavior. The restaurant needs to take accountability for her actions.

I recently visited Faye & Joe's Southern Bowl, and unfortunately, my experience did not live up to the expectations I had based on the reviews. The service was lacking, their phone doesn’t have a clear connection and their customer service isn’t the most friendly.

It was about 615 pm I ordered 1 catfish dinner they were out so I wanted to wait . Then several other people behind me also wanted it. I wonder why at least 3 got their orders before me. They were down to the last of the greens .I asked if that was all. That's it !!! Another customer with more orders of catfish out comes another pan. I didn't get a full side. Didnt complain . I want to support my local businesses so I ordered an extra side. But to me in line and have to wait for people behind me and the portion sizes were not worth the 25 bucks ? COME ON... Managing this has got to be better now I don't want the food. I hope it tastes better than the service. Good Luck at that location

This place has some of the best food I've ever eaten!! Definitely will be back

The food is excellent. We went on Sunday, which was a super busy time... Otherwise,everything was great! I guess it was worth the wait after using the website.

The food is ok but expensive. One piece of fish was $7.00. The collared greens were really good. The service is extremely slow. Most of the staff is friendly except one young lady.
