I dined at this place before, this particular day, I ordered on DoorDash, and maybe that's where the discrepancies came from with this order. I ordered the short ribs and grits with a side of two eggs with cheese as stated on the menu. My food took forever so by time I got my food it was cold and I had to reheat it. My eggs did not have cheese and I paid for it so that was a disappointment and it wasn't fresh eggs, it was liquid eggs so once reheated they were disgusting. The main course wasn't what I expected either. I asked for cheese in my grits too and they have cheese grits on the menu so I'm not sure why I didn't receive the cheese grits and was willing to pay an up charge for them. Half the gravy from my short ribs was soaked into the paper bag it came in and the meat itself didn't taste seasoned so the little bit of gravy that was left is what gave flavor to the short ribs. The grits weren't seasoned either, you can only taste the cream, no salt pepper or butter. I'm just disappointed because I waited a long time for the food and it didn't meet the standard I anticipated.

The staff was rude and unprofessional. It really blows my mind how people can be involved in the customer service industry and still cannot properly talk or communicate with their customers

I’m so big on reviewers and these reviews are very misleading! I ordered a few platter (steaks, eggs, potatoes, grits and fish) and the food was nasty. There was NO SEASONING on my food whatsoever so when I was eating it felt like I was eating food for someone with high blood pressure. My mother, friend and I were very disappointed in our food! If these reviews are based on the customer service, I get it because the young lady who took our order was very pleasant!

This was my first time visiting Amari’s by way of a friend’s recommendation and all I can say is ummm mmm mmmm. The food was amazing! Both my mother and I ate everything on our plate and didn’t leave a single crumb! Everything was A1 and their Hibiscus tea was amazingly delicious and refreshing. They’ve gained a forever customer. Please give this business a try, you will not be disappointed. Please don’t walk there…run there.☺️ I will most definitely be back ✨

This spot is clean, the staff is friendly, and the food is good. This is a must-go for food, especially for breakfast. My only suggestion is that the music selection should be more Motown and Philly soul, with less ratchet nightclub vibes for families dining in, at least during the day hours

First and foremost, I would like to say that customer service was everything. I’m very big on how people energy is when cooking my food if your not happy the food is nasty!!

Secondly, unfortunately I had to give 3 stars because of some off the food. I order a steak and eggs, also a short rib with mac and cheese and greens.
The steak was thin and had a lot of fat on it, I’m not sure why it wasn’t cut off. Maybe to make it seem like more or just didn’t do it but it was tasty from what I could eat. The eggs were okay I asked for them to be cooked easy so if they were maybe because they were in a container with foil they continued to cook. The potatoes I asked for no onions and bell peppers and I got a plate full of them and potatoes were not cooked all the way through. Yet flavor was cool.

Second dish short ribs, was so excited to see it when I got it. The mac & cheese was good and I’m a Big Mac and cheese person so that was a plus for me, greens were cool wish they were also cooked a bit longer and had more portions of it. Cornbread was the best and I’m not a huge fan of cornbread so to say I ate the entire thing was amazing. Now for the meat they do give you a big portion of it but when that size is so big I believe your cook time should be longer. Flavor was good but I wasn’t able to eat it due to the fat on it and I couldn’t even stick a fork in it. So it was disappointing I had to get rid of it. I think if they would have cooked it longer to be more tender that would have changed the whole meal in my opinion.
I would like to go back to try other things on the menu that seem to look taste.
