Meta's has amazing food. Meta herself does all the cooking and she takes the money. If you like to eat good food this is the place. Her fried chicken!, corn muffins, collards and fried pork chops are excellent. Turkey legs and gravy over rice is best you ever had. It can be slow, it is a little pricey, but man is it good. I moved jobs to Greensboro and miss her and her wonderful cooking. Meta is a National Treasure in my book.

The food is truly amazing, but professionalism in conjunction with great taste keeps the customers coming. Please update your website and phone number as it is an inconvenience for customers to drive to your establishment only for the doors to be closed & locked during “open hours”. Thank you

What are your true hours?? I have tried to come to your restaurant for the past two Sundays and you are closed before 4PM. Change your hours or stay open. Will not come back for a few months when I think you are more professional.

I hate to give this place a 3/5 review because the people were polite, but when comparing to other places I have been, it is average. I walked in at noon and there was no one in the restaurant except one person talking at the register with an employee and a second employee mopping. There were three TVs on the wall on mute showing various sports. There are two entrances into the establishment. I had never been there before so I didnt know what to expect. There was a buffet lined up on one wall, but clear direction of where to go or how to order. There were no labels of what each item was, nor were there prices listed anywhere. I stood and waited several minutes while the employees continued talking and mopping. I considered leaving because they didn't seem to be in a hurry to assist and I was on my lunch break, pressed for time. The employee that was mopping finished and then came over to assist. I didnt think about it at the time, but I believe she was wearing gloves. I was greeted, I ordered turkey, corn, and green beans (southern soul food style). The portion of turkey was huge! It took up the entire plate. The meat was well cooked, fell right off the bone, and tasted great. I just wish it had been hotter in temperature. I was actually disappointed that all of the food was lukewarm temperature, even though the trays were under heat lamps and over a water bath. The green beans were cooked southern style with ham hocks, but had a smoky taste that for me was a little off (I've had this style many times before so I'm familiar with the ways it can taste) The corn was fine but had no flavor. There were no napkins, salt, pepper, or anything on the tables and I felt uncomfortable asking the person who made the food for seasoning. It seemed impolite so I didn't ask. Drinks were bottled water and bottled soda in a large standing ice cooler (like at a gas station), as well as tea, lemonade, and koolaid (I'm not sure how they are served). I saw several really pretty looking cakes of different types, but did not try them. When I was ready to leave, I asked what to do with my tray and was told to leave it at the table. I did get a box and bag for to-go items, but it was only to be polite. I do not think I will be back, and I hate that because I'm always pro local businesses in favor of chains, but there are several competitors I would rather visit.

Great food but poor customer service

A couple of my coworkers came in the speak with the employees. The employee behind the counter was extremely rude. I will avoid this place.
Attempted to go this establishment while in town for NBTF. Arrived at 4pm and sign on door said she would reopen at 5pm. Went back at 6pm and sign was gone, doors locked Owner was inside talking to someone. She turned around and looked and my friend and I and put up her finger as to say: One moment. Well 10 minutes later, she Never came to the door. How rude!!! Not a good way to represent Winston Salem
