Food is overpriced and nasty. I just ordered oxtails from DoorDash, I get my order, instead of the oxtails having gravy on them, they’re soaked in nasty salty bbq sauce. The oxtails were tough! My cabbage tasted like someone put sugar on them. To top it off they don’t have a working phone number! This food was very disappointing and I will never order from here again! What a rip off. I need to come up there and show yall how to cook, I guess.

There was a hair on my food tray. It really grossed me out. I was already home and had the stomach. The fact that it could have been a pubic hair. I scooped the food onto a plate carefully not to touch that hair.

I really don’t understand the hype around The Greasy Spoon Soul Food Bistro. My dad went in right at opening on Sunday and picked up two plates of oxtails for the family — big mistake.

They were already out of macaroni and cheese, so he substituted yams and mashed potatoes. Unfortunately, the oxtails were extremely disappointing: bland, covered in a thick brown gravy that tasted more like something meant for mashed potatoes, and clearly not freshly prepared. It looked like they’d just been sitting on a steam table.

The mashed potatoes tasted instant, though I’ll give credit where it’s due — the yams were actually good. But of course, you wouldn’t go to a soul food restaurant just for the yams. Other than that, everything else missed the mark. For the price and the drive, it simply wasn’t worth it.

I won’t be returning — I’ll stick with Jamaica Pon Di Road instead, where the food is fresh, flavorful, and cooked to order every time.

I was very impressed by the amount of food they give you! But more than that, the oxtails, make and cheese and pork chops were EXCELLENT #5Stars

Food is absolutely amazing here, anytime I crave soul food I always get food here. The lady that serves me is always kind and open to tell you what is what. Would suggest this place to anyone that hasn’t had soul food before!

I'm sitting outside your North location bc I promised a couple of folks at a nursing home some home cooked soul food and I can't deliver on my promise bc your business appears to be closed down. Number is disconnected. I am super sad! Your food and staff were top notch. What next, Max? You have people rooting for you.
