Tastys used to be good. I have no idea what happened but maybe them high ridiculous prices make the food taste worse! If ima going to spend money like im dining at a restaurant it needs to be consistently good everytime and portionate! It’s regular portions of regular food you cook at home for dine in prices.
It’s simply NOT as good as it used to be anf they do not CARE about customer service or fixing anything!
A meatloaf dinner with two sides and one piece of meatloaf is $30!!! Beef does not cost that much and the restaurant gets it cheaper from the depot so theyre just price gouging…..WILL NEVER GO BACK THERE!! And i tell everyone to go elsewhere!

I ordered a turkey chop and sides of string beans and collard greens . The string beans and collard greens has no taste at all and the turkey chops taste like old dirty grease. It was an expensive plate not worth it don’t go there
I had a taste for fish, AND LET ME SAY THIS IS THE MOST DISCUSSING RESTAURANT I’VE BEEN TO! As I’m sitting and waiting for my food a ROACH is on the curtains, I had already paid for my food otherwise I would have left. Two fish sandwiches were $38.00!! The fish tasted horrible ! No hair nets, fish was greasy and old oil, please think twice before buying food here. Not worth my money!

I wish I had taken photos of our dishes, for that I apologize. My partner and I went to Tasty’s to pick up our order, it was the first visit for both of us. He order the fried chicken with pickled beets and Mac and cheese. I ordered the special which was grilled lamb chops with potato salad and green beans. We also got 2 slices of sweet potato pie.
On the drive home I commented on how delicious everything smelled. Got home, plated our dinner, prayed and dug in. The first thing I noticed was my lamb was over cooked, I requested medium well and this was past well done. The second thing I noticed was the abundance of salt. So much salt that after 3 bites, I couldn’t eat anymore of it. I detest wasting food BUT this had to go in the trash. Thankfully my partner had enough fried chicken to share with me. It was good…crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The pickled beets and potato salad were really good followed by the Mac and cheese. Sweet potato pie was also good.
I called the restaurant to let them k ow because I didn’t want to leave a negative review but I’m not sure they could clearly hear me. I couldn’t clearly hear them so I wonder what the caller experience would have been trying to place an order. Don’t know if I’ll go back but if I did, lamb won’t be on my list.

Food was okay. Collared greens didn't really have flavor. Fish was good and I liked the Mac and cheese. Owner was sweet

It's a reminder of how my grandmother would throw down in the kitchen. You will get what you pay for because when I say those containers are loaded , believe me. No complaints here
