Food is top-notch soul food. I was confused about getting better, but it’s in a small strip mall. It reminds me of how Piccadilly operates. There wasn’t anything memorable about the service but nothing bad either. This is the only place I get oxtails. It’s pricey but good with a large portion. The rest of the meals seemed pretty affordable, but I know oxtails are high everywhere. I usually eat for lunch and save half for later since it’s so much. Definitely worth it.

This eatery was recommended by a local person who picked me up from the airport. I was brought here by a member of Central Metropolitan CME Church. I ordered the Oxtail plate with mac and cheese and green beans. Yellow rice comes with it. We had sweet tea to drink. I was pleasantly surprised at the deliciousness of the food. The Oxtails were super tender and flavorful, complimented by the yellow rice. They tasted like how I cook my own back home in Memphis. The mac and cheese was savory and cheesy. The green beans were rightly seasoned. I was doubly pleased with the portion sizes. When I got back to the hotel, I told everyone I knew about this down home soul food establishment. I will be back.

Great service 1 hour before closing, despite the long line. Ms. Delores put tables together so the 15 of us could sit together. She was very pleasant and helpful. The dressing was delicious. The oxtails were tender but could’ve been better trimmed so that white blobs of fat were not on them in my plate. All the food had great taste.

I have visited this restaurant more than ten times over the past few years that I’ve been a resident in the area. Whenever I have a taste for home cooked food, this has been my Go-To. But this may have been my last visit. The food just doesn’t taste the same anymore. Maybe new recipes are being used. The seasoning, flavor and taste overall just lacks what it has in the past. My last two visits have been this way. I’m saddened. The customer service is still good. Nice atmosphere as well.

The food here uses to be good. I would Recommend the oxtail, vegetables, and the fish. But lately the food is either really bland or salty. Today again my food was bland. I wanted a refund but was too shy to ask. And some of the guest do not have best attitude. It’s kinda annoying. The fried chicken is dry. And the Mac is a no. It’s clean. I like music and decorations and the location.

As usual, there was a line, no surprise there, what was surprising was how long it took for the line to move. No one seemed like they cared at all, not very friendly. They take their time and then rush you to order. I gave up on Bistro years ago, but recently at my job, they catered the food twice, and both times, it was so good, I just knew Bistro was back!! Nope. I came for the sweet potato souffle – only served on Sundays Ran out of Mac and cheese – how sway?!, but had plenty of broccoli cheddar rice casserole No thanks. I finally get to the register to pay and the young lady tried to secretly take the man standing behind me, (she made eye contact with him and kind of pointed towards her register) I said, “Excuse me, I am next” She rolled her eyes and never opened her mouth to speak, she tapped the pay machine when it was time to pay. My coworker was behind me and asked for hot sauce. She acted as if it would hurt her to help, but she did hand over three sauces, so lackadaisical still no words. The pork chops were good, not great, the rice was bland, gravy was good, greens were not good at all, the meat inside was so dry, cornbread was good, black eyes peas were a little too pasty/ thick, even for my taste, and the red velvet cake was okay. I ordered an Arnold palmer for the drink, and it was good. Overall, I think unless it’s on someone else’s dime, I will pass on Bistro. However, I wish them nothing but the best.

They wait until last minute to tell you they’re out of food after asking and marking the food container. Wasting almost an hour of my time just standing in line like its no big deal. To be told they don’t have anymore of what they already asked me about. They knew then they didn’t have enough. Very poor customer service. I won’t be going out of my way to go here anymore. Rather visit the food trucks on the Northside. Least they have customer service

Now, this is some good cooking. I get the wingette meal with yams and green beans. The cornbread is good, nice, and soft with a little bit of sweetness to it. The food is good.
