“Great Environment, Great Hospitality, Great Food , Food did take some time but great food will take a long time to perfect .. The white rice with the red beans are so delicious. Fried Fish and Fried Shrimp is a must try and make sure you don’t forget to get The Uptown to wash all the food down and finish off with the Strawberry Cheesecake… I’ll be back you’re favorite reviewer Ariii”

“I was near the area and wanted to give this place a try. I ordered online the southern baked chicken, collard and cabbage mix and yellow rice and it said about 30 to 40 minutes and it came to $14.66. I arrived at the restaurant about 20 minutes later and walked in and a few people were waiting. The nice young man Jay said it wasn't ready. As I waiting the line got longer and longer. I waited about 40 more minutes for my food. The wait was ridiculous and the communication was terrible. Yes the server was very nice but that wait will keep me from returning. When it was done I grabbed my food and uptown and left. As I drove home I drank some of the uptown and it was ok. When I got home and ate the baked chicken was good and so was the yellow rice. The collard greens and cabbage was a bit salty. All in all I only had an ok experience.”

“Never open. It says they're open until 2 today and here it is 10pm on a Saturday and they're closed .”

“Communicating with The Weekend Spot about catering my baby shower has been the most unprofessional customer service I’ve encountered. I was introduced to them from a gender reveal where they catered not long before I contacted them. I was emailing catering Director Rachel on scheduling a tasting which I was willing to pay for with the understanding that 15% is credited towards the catering bill. Cool. She said her chef wasn’t available on the days I selected and to provide other days. Once I responded I stopped hearing from Rachel. I followed up again via email a few days later to receive no response once again. Calling them is out of the question because I have been calling and leaving messages to get no response from the very beginning. I even went out of my way to stop by the restaurant during the business hours listed on google not once but twice on a Saturday after communication ceased to see that the gate was down. Before deciding to go with another company I hit them up on Instagram to again receive no response. It is truly a shame that when trying to support a black business I encountered such unprofessional. I was willing to spend over $1000 in catering at the recommendation of someone else. Imagine being pregnant dealing with the stress of planning a baby’s shower and have to deal with this. Everything happens for a reason because I ended up going with Mrs. Tee’s catering where I had a much better experience.”
