I went to Kroger spot today . We waited about an hour before they seated us did we waited another hour before we got our food. The food was good. But if I had to be honest it seems like it was whatever. This was our first time . Always willing to support local business owners but also have to make sure it's a great experience for the people who come.

Today, my son and I came in for dinner. It was a follow up visit from a bad experience a few weeks before. My my my... they made up for it. I had the seafood platter, everything cooked to perfection. My son had the shrimp platter! Everything was delicious. I dropped my keys in the booth when leaving and couldn't get them out...UNTIL! Mrs NIY, came to my rescue. She was determined to get them keys. I thank her for her consistency and willingness to help. Thanks Niy ❤️

Food was good, some of our food was hot and some lukewarm, it was good. Manager was not personable and waiter took our orders and never came back to table not even for refills. So you know that tip shouldn't have been charged. O and i want to also mention the longggg wait. Arrived n seated @ 650pm didn't get food til 805pm. Then after we ate they took another 20minutes to bring our check n cash us out.
