I’ve tried to support this soul food spot multiple times, but the customer service has been consistently disappointing. The girl who answers the phone at the front desk is extremely rude, talks over customers, doesn’t listen, and argues instead of trying to resolve simple issues. Ordering food shouldn’t feel like a confrontation.
What’s even more concerning is that after having a disagreement over the phone, my food quality noticeably declined on future...
