Order the office's lunch online earlier this week for pickup. Easy parking. He greeted me quickly and told me where I could go to pick up my order. Candy allowed me to watch her bag everything up so my office wouldn't be mad at me for missing anything. The atmosphere is very inviting. I was about to enjoy the shrimp pasta but ordered Mac and cheese and the holy trinity also. Mac and cheese was heavenly. Greens deliciously taste like home. I enjoyed the bread options, too. Had the cornbread and a honey biscuit. The total was a little over $200. That was 3 shrimp pasta, 2 chicken wing meals, salmon, and 4 drinks. Looking forward to trying other options on the menu from 'cousin'.
Very nice location for this new restaurant. It's new and there was not an empty seat in the place and already the patrons overwhelming this establishment. On Sunday afternoon when I went to pick up dinner there was a 45 minute to-go order wait time😲. It's Sunday, did you forget people would be coming for dinner? Seems to me like they weren't prepared for the successful turnout hence wind up unprepared to serve in a timely manner. There are tables for eating but it's not restaurant style; so no servers. You order to go and you can eat at the provided tables. On this particular day, all the tables were full but from people waiting for food rather than eating. When I finally did get my food it was good. It wasn't disappointing except for my herb chicken which was not fully cooked. The portion sizes were good. The cost was reasonable. The service was good. Most of the people serving had hair/beard nets but some did not 🫤. A hair net should always be worn; not sure why that's an option. There seem to be plenty of staff around so I'm not really sure why the delay in service. The staff seemed to be busily moving about and was pleasant in assisting customers. I will definitely go back for the food but be prepared to patiently wait. Thanks for coming to our neighborhood.
I knew once I seen some older black folks pull up to this restaurant I was going to be satisfied. Rubys did not disappoint. I mean the chicken could’ve been a little more seasoned but the sweet potatoes, macaroni, and cheese, rice and gravy and banana pudding was on point. The cornbread was good as well. This was a nice way to end my DMV trip.
My husband and his staff arrived at 11:30am... Salmon was NOT available. Whoever does inventory, should KEEP it on rotation. The catfish was overly seasoned. The BBQ wings were not as expected. It was fried wings w sauce on it. I was expecting a baked BBQ chicken. The Mac and Cheese was NOT good at all! It's my #1 CHEAT food... I like my pasta 2 have cheese to be in every spoonful. Congealed. The yams were not good, very dry and hard... The cabbage was hard and undercooked... The peach cobbler definitely wasn't like my GRAMS... it needed MORE! The NEW location was very nice... the staff was very warm and welcoming!
Oxtail, greens, Mac and cheese in this photo. Melted in your mouth. So good. Tried the shrimp and grits, fried chicken wings and cornbread too. Everything was delicious! Wanted to take some back home with me! Decor was cute too.
