The Golden Fried Perch. Not very much. Not very golden. Not very good. That'a supposed to be corn-on-the-cob.

Definitely two things up on the wings, but they were an hour late.
Waiting to see the Earth, Wind & Fire tribute band.

I was invited out to Idle-A-While, not knowing that they'd replaced the dance club. It was a surprise outing for me because there was an Earth Wind & Fire tribute performance by a live band that night.The hostess told me to have a seat and relax, since it was a surprise for me and all would be taken care of. Although we were among the first tables to arrive, I watched more and more tables placing their food orders. I went to the bar twice to ask if my order to be place and was told that someone would come to my table.After an uncomfortable wait, our order was finally taken. It was 45 minutes before our food arrived and my order was incomplete. My wife's order hadn't arrived at all. I ordered the Golden Fried Perch which was supposed to come with cut fries and grilled corn on the cob. I asked for mashed potatoes as an alternative. The fish was a very small, overcooked portion which wasn't tasty at all. I had to ask for utensils, as well as tartar sauce. The tartar sauce never came. My friend went back to the kitchen to get it for me. The corn was not "on the cob", but rather in a bowl was pretty dry. Meanwhile, we waited and waited for my wife's order of wings. She eventually told the server to cancel the wings and was informed that they were on their way, at no charge. My friend told her that he didn't expect to pay for my meal either (he was treating).We were also disappointed because the group only performed for about an hour, even though they were listed for much longer. One member showed up about 15 minutes after the show started. Many customers were upset because they felt cheated out of the money they paid for the show. (Just recently, the restaurant announced an encore presentation with free entry for those who had tickets for the original show)Although the wings were delicious, I was extremely disappointed in my meal, particularly the fish. I usually assume that it's an isolated event, but, coupled with the other miscues, I didn't have a very good time.Here's hoping that things pick up in the near future.

I went to restaurant because they had my favorite local band perform. But they had people pay at the door. It was $20 per person for an event. That didn't include anything expect entry. And we got there at 9pm. In addition, the venue was old and needed an immediate update. The food was so so. Like who wants to buy food when you had to pay so much to get in. Drinks were pricey. Definitely a rip-off restaurant. Will not go again. I felt like hiring chef Ramsay for them to help them have a complete make over.

My Uncle whose is 83 yrs old and still drives, mind you. Heard about a soul food restaurant. When we walked in i thought i was at a Speak Easy. Order my food off of a hard paper flyer, (my bad card stock flyer. Spare ribs, 2sides was my choice. Green beans and Potato Salad. That plate was delicious!!!! Band was setting up while Hip Hop and R &B blared in the back ground, played by a Caucasian DJ ,j off of a IPAD. He was decent. I had a chance to hear a few songs while i ate and was impressed by the band and their Jazz Funk, Genere. The Band's name is Eye28. My 83yr old uncle is speeding and i am typing, so i don't tense up from being scared. Any way...if you get a chance check this place out.

Was invited out and my first visit turns out to be my last. Sat at the bar because all the tables were reserved. Wanted to order food but you cannot at the bar. When asked why the bartender said it was a restaurant not a bar... wth. All restaurants that I have been to serve food at the bar. So he so rudely says I just work here, have a good night and walks off. Another incident as me and a young walked around. We ended up in the back room and a woman walks up and says can I help you. We say yes we are looking for... the woman interrupts us and says get out here you can be back there as if we were kids. So I told her that was rude, the door is wide open and its set up like the rest of the restaurant. She then she asked how can she make it up to us. Hahaha, think before you speak next time. Needless to say we left without spending any money there and got our food and drinks at another restaurant/bar. We won't be back.

The food is awful. Invest in high quality food. They try to make it better but you can't when the quality of the food is so low. And the service is terrible. Bathrooms are terrible. Good bands and the managers try is the only positive.
