They charge way to much for a side order of collards and then they didn’t even fill up the very very tiny container. I will never ever ever buy anymore collards from them. And don’t let me get started on the lemonade it was not worth the price either. I will take my business else where. And the lady working the window was not very nice, she could at least smile since she dealing with the public, that’s what they told me when I was a cashier.

Food was old. Cabbage, green beans, boiled potatoes, and mac&cheese all brownish tint. Never had Mac&Cheese so bad. BBQ was blah. Small piece of fried chicken and the hush puppies were ok. No where the quality food of the 301 location or just about any other eatery in the area.

Service was excellent/prompt and food was tasty. Was not a huge fan of the hush puppies(prefer sweet hush puppies these were a bit bland) but this was not enough to wither down this 5 star review. Will definitely be back!

The two guys in the drive through were awesome, but the food was not. The chicken tasted like it had been sitting for a while and was super greasy.

I did an online order around 1pm that was supposed been ready at 122pm but got there around 140pm. When asked I gave my name and cashier went back to chef and he specifically said he was out of livers and hamburger. I asked Why didn’t someone give me a call? I asked was the phone broken. The cashier and window person talked and she said they never got order. If that be so How did the chef know what I ordered and they were out. There was no apology. The cashier got the manager to come Void it out so I won’t be charged and she never apologized nor offered me anything. I was on my lunch break and it was wasted and yes I’m angry. Nobody apologized.

If I could give less than 1 star I would! We went to the Gardner’s on Sunset Ave. Saturday evening about 6:25pm. There was about 3-4 cars in front of us. After about 35 mins waiting in the drive through that you cant get out of line due to bushes and curbing, we got to the window finally!! We waited about 8 mins before the very rude and uncaring server finally came to the window. We paid because we thought well we have waited this long lets just get our food, the server said “We are out of butterbeans.” It was 7pm and your out of butterbeans? So, we waited some more to get our food. My husband had to use the restroom since now we have been waiting 45 mins, paid our money and here we still sit! My husband came out of the restaurant and said it was disgusting inside! He took pictures of how nasty the restroom was. After that we decided to get our money back ($40!) and move on! As the other worker there was standing against the counter with her arms crossed doing absolutely nothing, I asked for a refund. The server said “well your food is coming now!” Ok fine, we got our food after 48 minutes!!! We are needless to say UNHAPPY!
