Waited 2 hours and 30 mins for my food, the waiter kept coming out saying 20 more minutes. I just ended up leaving and paying for drinks

Write a formal review of the restaurant Something on Myrtle, first and foremost called in to the restaurant at 3:59pm acquiring about reservation, and the gentleman on the phone claimed no reservation was needed and low and behold the same voice met us at the host booth, claiming reservations were needed, there was nothing on the restaurant’s website that implied about reservations or how to inquire about booking reservations. The worst host in the world just continued to walk back and fourth rubbing his head and nervously squeezing his nose, he didn’t ask anyone if they had reservations for about 35 minutes and that was after I questioned the manager about the organization of the establishment. She warned us that in fact reservations had to be booked but she would assist us. Another 30 minutes and we were seated at a dusty clothes cover table and everything we attempted to order was out of stock. After finally ordering the maple fried chicken, 30 minutes later the manager came over to let us know the maple fried chicken was out as well, and only offered a comp drink. The clock struck 10pm and after arriving at 8:30pm I still had not had my food, while a couple that was sat 30 minutes prior to me was told they had to wait 20 more minutes. Yikes! @ 10:36 we decided we are going to just pay for the drinks we drank and take a lost on the meal itself it’s not been worth the two hour wait and let’s not mention the disgusting bathroom! That looks as if it hadn’t had any tender love or care since last year 2025! If I could have gave zero stars I would have!

The atmosphere was inviting, the music was great, and our server, Dime, was excellent—patient, friendly, and accommodating.
However, the food was overly salty, especially the garlic butter shrimp and mashed potatoes. The timing of the dishes was also uncoordinated, with starters and mains brought out together. The snapper was well-prepared, but the jerk chicken lacked authentic flavor and tasted more like barbecue.
With better seasoning balance less salt and improved timing, the overall experience would be much stronger.

We arrived with high hopes having eaten here last year. We promptly tried to order and each time were told that the item was not available. No lamb chops, no empanadas, no ox tail, no Friday Special on a Friday night, no maple glazed chicken! We finally ordered and after waiting for 30 minutes our server brought out a burnt chicken flatbread that was absolutely inedible. The burnt look and burnt smell should have been enough for the server to not even bring it out - but he did! We promptly sent it back and waited for our main meal. No apologies from the server. No checking for drink refresh. After asking, we were provided with plastic grade school cafeteria utensil packages. After being assured that our food was coming, we gave up at the 1 hour and 15 minute mark. At one point we saw the server leave and run to a nearby store!!!! The best thing about this place was the old school R&B music - if we could have eaten that we would have been happy. We are now at another local spot- dining, drinking, vibing, and satisfied! We always support black owned, but please do better! We live locally, dine out frequently, eat well and tip better. We are the customers you should be coveting, not disrespecting with such an abysmal experience.

Service is absolutely terrible here I waited for 30 minutes and no one even came to take my order so we got up and left. This is the second time I’ve been here and it was a similarly bad situation before and the food was not that great.

Arrived for lunch and it was only 1 other table besides mine and our wait for service was 20 min. Then it took over an hour and half to recieve our food. I stayed hoping the food will be worth it but that only made it worse. Has potential but I wouldn’t reccomend.

At first I was skeptical, because they didn't have my first two choices on the menu, but they made me a believer the food, service and the vibe were excellent! Best way to spend those Black dollars!

I honestly don’t know how this place is still open. The food tasted like it had been sitting out for hours. Salty, greasy, and completely unappetizing. Never again. SMH!
Went as a party of 5 for dinner, had a reservation, but it was not needed. The restaurant is quite small but is visually appealing due to the artwork on the wall and associated decor. The could definitely use some new booth seating and to figure out the table cloths, as the tables were just covered in white paper.
The food... they were out of the half-chicken, but made a good substitution with the 'satay' chicken. The snapper wasn't quite the escovitch I was expecting and somewhat salty, but came with a nice sauce to balance it out. The lobster and broccoli tasted heavily of sesame oil, really killing the dish which was already quite small in portion size to begin with. Best dish was the oxtail lo mein! The oxtail dumplings were pretty tasty
Service was decent. They frequently come to fill our water. The younger men there didn't seem too enthusiastic with our table (other than water), but definitely more engaged with the table of young women that came in--just an observation.
The check...was fine until I noted a 20% fee which I had to clarify was actually gratuity. No where on the menu did it state that there was a mandatory 20 percent. This equated to an additional 60 dollars on our bill for service that was just adequate. However, we paid and were on our way.
Would I return, probably not, but definitely not the worst experience. I would be open to trying some other things on the menu, but probably wouldn't go out of my way.

Food was okay, nothing you can’t get anywhere else. We came on a Monday so it was fairly chill, with it being chill (no more than 4 tables the service was still absolutely horrible). Hookah took over 30 mins for the first initial order and the refill and food took longer. If you’re looking for a SUPER laid back vibe this is your place. We had to hunt down the server not once but twice for basic things like water. If you want good service, avoid this place.

The operating hours displayed on their Google website are inaccurate. The establishment opens after 5 PM, which should be corrected. The quality of the food is satisfactory, but the price is excessive. The inclusion of six wings for $18 is unjustified considering the subpar quality of the food. I wouldn’t recommend this place.

Brunch is from 12 to 4 my husband and I got there at 12:30 and there were only one other table of ppl there. We waited at the door for ten minutes because the person that was suppose to seat us is not even there. So the bartender sat us. Ok now we here for the two hour unlimited mimosa. No one took our order for 30 mins. Then the tables that was there before us didn’t even have drinks on there table. They got up and left because the bar is waiting on champagne delivery. So before the bartender says to us I’m sorry for the wait would me to make you drink until we get settled? So I had to ask for a drink for me and my husband. Finally get our drinks and food it was ok nothing to brag about. It’s like once I see customer service is very rude and organized it’s very distasteful. I mean they were literally still setting up after 1 o’clock then tried to over charge me! Listen I’m all for supporting BLACK BUSINESSES but honestly need to better man!
