Taste Budz Creole Kitchen

I was excited to try the oxtail 9/10. I ordered that with mac and cheese 8/10,greens 8/10. The food over all was very flavorful and filling.I was able to get 3 servings out of it for myself so of course I had leftovers.I had a major issue with the lack of customer service here. It's disappointing when you're not greeted when walking in or standing at the counter. The prices are not cheap-least they can do is give a great experience to go with the good food and high prices. For that, a whole star was removed on my review.

overhyped & extremely underwhelmed! first off, the service here was horrible, when we first walked in, no one wanted to help us at the register to order, there was a lady who was on her phone for a few minutes before we were helped. she also wasn't much help when i asked for recommendations, but we eventually got our orders inwe ordered 2 combos: one combo cajun shrimp with elote & chef trish famous mac & cheeseone combo cajun steak with broccoli & chef trish famous mac & cheesethey were $25 each combothey also don't offer water cups, you have to purchase water bottles, thankfully we had our own bottles in the carhonestly, the food was not that great, i expected it to be a lot more flavorful. the rice was dry, the elote was very watery, the mac & cheese was just okbefore leaving, i ordered $10 laffy grapes which was actually really good, but no one was in the front again, had to wait for someone to help again

After everyone in Vegas was saying this was one we needed to visit, I took the drive from South Henderson to this spot! When walking in, it's like a huge hall. In my opinion a big waste of space, but it was very open and empty. There was music blaring through the speakers and it was loud. Headed over to the register and was met with no one. Took about 5-10 mins before someone decided to come out. The lady who took our order was on her phone the whole time, but she did get our order through. Here is what we got:Meats:1. Oxtail: tender but extremely fatty. It had a good flavor, but the chewy fat ruined it. 2. Beef Short Rib: these were good, but slightly overcooked unfortunately 3. Chicken: by far the best meat option. Got it Cajun style and it still had a kick Sides:1. Mac n Cheese: everyone and even Keith Lee said it was the best. Ours was luke warm and didnt have a ton of cheese. Definitely not my vibe2. Collarded Greens: I get that greens are bitter, but this was inedible and bitter3. Sweet Potatoes: loved the sweetness and how tender they were 4. Elote: the sauce was chefs kiss, but other than that it was plain. Desserts: 1. Taffy Grapes: i loved the nice crunch and the taste of strawberry. The grapes were nice and crunchy2. Banana Cream Pie: it was good, nothing special.For this entire order it was close to $120, without tip and without drinks. Another knock was they do not offer water cups and you have to buy water- that is just not right for me.

The food was good. I didn't like the atmosphere for dining in, it gave strip mall vibes. I would suggest take out.

I came in because of Mike Tyson.... I wont be going back either. Greens were too vingerary, Idk what that banana pudding thing was, I should have known not to buy it when the lady looked at everyone of them and had a bad look on her face. I wont get into the prices with little to no seasoning. The tiki punch was good, the candied yams were good.

REALLY incredible food, the Lobster. Mac &. Cheese was enough to distract me from the gumbo, but I'll be back for that as soon as possible! Can't recommend this place enough!

We have visited the location at 1917 N DecaturOkay, so let me start off by saying that the food is delicious!!However, it is EXPENSIVE.We've been twice now, and both times the food was wonderful, but the staff and service was "fine". Both times, the employees at the register to take our orders were on their phones or listening to music in headphones, and appeared to be mildly inconvenienced by us being there.The food also takes a good little while to be brought out, so prepare for that, but it does always come out tasting fresh.It was over $130 for 3 of us, but the portions are generous, so we all ended up with leftovers, and their food is just as good later on as well.The atmosphere is interesting. Every time we've gone, it's been completely empty, with the exception of maybe 1 or two people waiting for their food to go. The way the room it set up feels "sterile". Kind of reminiscent of a hospital cafeteria.We will continue to go back because we love the food, but we will likely just order to go instead of eating in as we had.I also think the restaurant would benefit from having a soda machine rather than just cans or bottles.Their meals are already so expensive, and they are the type of meals you sit and eat for a prolonged period of time, so I feel like something as simple as having a soda dispenser to allow customers free refills during their dining experience, especially after waiting 30+ minutes for food in the first place, would be a good thing.

Had two orders of Jerk Chicken plates. Portions were enough for four. Food was bursting with flavor. I know jerk flavor and this was on point. Again...portions were great.Chicken was cooked to perfectionMac snd cheese was wonderful Yams taste home madeOrder was called in and was ready on time and hot...and did I already say delicious...because it was. And I had leftovers. Which by the way was really good the next day and enough for a full meal...and i gets down when I eat. I highly recommend Taste Budz Creole Kitchen...a hidden gem.

I ordered the cajun shrimp and chicken plate with greens and macaroni and got a extra side of shrimp, let me begin.First off the portion size is great but it lacked flavor. The greens were lowkey watery didn't have much flavor either and same for the chicken it was dry. And they forgot my extra shrimp, overall it was decent but not worth the wait i give it solid 7.

Excellent customer service well done cooked to perfection -King from Oakland California
