Customer service terrible! Crackers were stale! Cole slaw tasted old! I got 6 large shrimp for $8.75 and they were just ok, not seasoned good at all. They didn't give me any napkins or fork to eat with. The lady on the phone taking my order hung up in my face I had to call back, and she acted like she wasn't aware what happened!

We ordered bbq chicken it was not cook all the way it was pink . bbq sauce was like water.the pound cake was hard as a brick and taste old. The only thing was very good was the cold slaw and mac and cheese. The ribs were fine just needed real bbq sauce. We will fine another restaurant !!!! To spend $90 dollars at !!! We were not happy at all with this food !!!

I ordered 2 full catfish (4 fillets per), with greens, red beans and rice, yams and okra (which wasn’t specified on the menu as fried). The yams were good and the okra was acceptable. I drove 30 mins for the nostalgia of M&M but ended up with hard, gritty catfish that lacked flavor, I grabbed my hot sauce and powered through. The greens taste like there was no seasoning, so I got my own vinegar and spices to power through. The yams were great! The red beans and rice though….just don’t do it. Have you ever had unseasoned beans and rice floating in what can only be described as “tap water”? I tried my best to season and make it edible, but it was a total loss. The sad thing is, I was excited to order here but I can’t honestly refer anyone there for the items I purchased. $70 wasted…this saddens me

Soooo gross.Fries were floppy and taste like chickenMac n Cheese taste like a chemical. A stinky, bitter tasting chemical. Brown clungy gunk in the macaroni not sure if it’s egg but yuckRed beans had that same stinky chemical taste and smell.Worse orange roughy I’ve ever tasted idk how but yuck and the catfish was just as bad.Couldn’t get past the smell and my kids and I threw the whole everything away.Drive past a million times, first time actually stopping and NEVER again

I give them *5 stars for the Catfish I ordered and the Cashier was friendly and really cool but my sister ordered the Catfish and Fries and complained that they were soggy, looked like they were recooked, dark and cooked in old grease. She said she even asked for them to fry them hard and they wasn't. I've had the fries before and they were good. If you're getting complaints about soggy fries cooked in old grease why not do that ever again?She sent me pictures too but don't know how to post them.

We were bamboosled by the reviews!!!Clearly, the shrimp and fries were fried in old old grease. The fries were dark and limp. The cole slaw had a spoiled smell. It was so soupy...you could have drank it. The fried okra even though it was mush was the best thing.??? Never going back

My aunt just passed away last week. My cousins and I needed catering services for her funeral dinner and Lanette's came through for us. The entire process was easy and so very professional. Their prices were reasonable and they went above and beyond. Customer service was EXCELLENT!! Our guests loved the food. The crowd pleaser was the Mac and cheese. It was so cheesy and delicious. The green beans were so flavorful and also delicious. On behalf of my family we are so appreciative of your kindness and willingness to help us feed our guests. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I wish I could have taken photos.

LOVED the chicken, shrimp, fries and coleslaw! Yummy! Even the cashier and cooks were very friendly! I usually hate patronizing businesses in the "D" because of horrible customer service! But not this place, very professional. They even have a website!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I absolutely love the food here. The staff is so help and kind. They make sure the order is correct and fresh. The portions are the best part about the meal. Whenever I am down in Midtown, I go to Lanette's for some good food.
