    I was really disappointed. I've eaten here throughout the years and I realized things and places change. I'm so disappointed. I don't ordered
    Smoked chicken, mixed greens and sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes were under cooked and the smoke chicken wasn't smoked. The chicken actually tasted sweet. I'm not sure if I'll try them again.

    The last 2 times I came here to dine in were the middle of the day, very few people inside. Should I be concerned about that? It was a Saturday at 3pm. I shared the mustard catfish with mac/cheese, greens, and a corn muffin. They only have iced tea and lemonade on 'draft' no soda. Soda has to be in a can.

    We enjoyed our food, but one in my party had New Orleans catfish and thought it bland. I didn't agree, but it did seem to have less 'pizzazz' than normal. We used a lot of hot sauce! I was fairly hungry so I wasn't disappointed enough to stop eating!

    I did like placing the order and having it brought to the table.  They seem to function well when it's slow and can go at their own pace.

    I was put off by no soap in the ladies room. I mentioned it and later a regular 'store bought' soap container was made available.

    I've been to this location roughly three times and, of course each encounter is different. One thing I would say is I'm pleased with the convenience of the location. Another thing is some of the food items they have are actually good. However, that's based on whose cooking! BJ's Market has been here for yearsssss & it's definitely time for an upgrade! It's not welcoming to look at and, doesn't give that appeal that I believe it should have. I think they could offer more items and, stick to frequently requested desserts people like. Customer service can always be improved and, just the overall experience.

    I never had a bad order in my life...my favorite soul food restaurant hands down...I love this place I'm there maybe twice a week...the only thing I don't like...they used to do breakfast what a wonderful breakfast...they stopped because they didn't have enough traffic coming in...in the a.m and their turkey burgers with fries were better than that's a burgers down the street...and that's their specialty while bj only offered it...only then that keep up the good work and hopefully in the future you guys will reconsider serving breakfast and turkey burgers again
