I was pleasantly surprised by this home cooking experience in Duncanville. The food was hot, fresh and tasty. I had baked chicken, butter beans, cabbage and cornbread on my meal. A beverage comes with it. I ordered a small peach cobbler as well. My chicken was fresh from the oven. I watched them bring it out. It actually reminded me of my mom's baked chicken. It was seasoned well and it was cooked to just the right temperature and texture. The next time I get by there, I'll try the fried pork chops. There are so many entree options! It was good to see a variety of meat options where they all looked tasty and are relatively affordable. Oh! And I love the part where they make you aware that certain entrees are cooked to order therefore there will be a small wait. I'm prepared to wait for my next visit.
I arrived around 11:45a on a Wednesday. There was a good flow of customers. There were no long lines. Customers weren't stepoing over each other inside. The owners were welcoming. They answered my questions about menu items. I didn't feel rushed to make my choices. The one guy (sorry no name available) even offered to let me taste the vegetables when I had a question about the seasoning in the beans. I didn't take him up on the offer, but it was a simple gesture that didn't go unnoticed.
Honestly, my food and experience here were both good. I actually called my dad as I sat in the parking lot and tasted my food. No worries. You can dine in. I'm just greedy. As I was devouring my chicken wing, I was telling my daddy how good the food was. He and my stepmother were there ordering within the hour. They enjoyed their food as well. Keep up the good work, ya'll. It was a refreshing experience.
Three suggestions:
1. Please encourage your team to taste the food. If it's something they don't eat, make sure they at least have general knowledge of it. It might be helpful to have a small tasting at the beginning of the day for everyone. It's a pretty standard practice. It might be helpful. The young lady who helped me had no idea about the beans. She was sweet as pie. She was. And she was payient with me too. But if someone is serving the food, they should be able to tell me if something is seasoned to be spicey or not. Or even be able to make recommendations based on what they have tasted.
2. Please speak up from behind that sneezeguard. And as a customer I'm going to remember to speak up too. It's hard for us old folks to hear you. I imagine it's not always easy to hear us from your side of the kitchen either.
3. That lady at the front taking the money was so pretty when she smiled! But she didn't smile or say hello until I did. Maybe it was a bad moment for her. I hope to see her beautiful smile the next time I come.
See ya'll soon!
