Robert's Restaurant

I've eaten here several times and the food is always fresh and tasty. I got a veggie plate today - turnips, rice , cornbread , and yams. As I dined in I noticed the dining area could be better maintained. I understand this was an old Hardee's so this would explain the seating and the hot bar area. They could use a new hot bar and brighten things up in the dining area. The staff is friendly and quick with your order.***UPDATE***I decided to stop in a couple of days ago had a taste for fried wings. Walked in looked around 4 customers eating in. Looked over the food and several items were low especially chicken. It didn't look fresh but she assured me it was cooked that morning. So I got 3 fried wings, black eye peas, and rice. I looked around for the score but it was not posted or maybe I just didn't see it. I asked if Mr. Robert was in. I was told he passed away 3yrs ago! I was shocked but like I said it has been awhile since I was here. Now to the food- the wings were fried hard or possibly been under the light too long. Not seasoned well but ok. I've had better unknown if there are new cooks or new management. Peas were not seasoned well but ok. Rice is rice it was not sticky or gummy. The dining area needs extensive work. Brown ceiling from old water stains. Roof is needed as it was an old Hardee's. New buffet needed. Exterior needs work ..... I will not be eating there again...It was much better when Mr. Robert was alive. But even then there were items that needed serious attention like the interior/exterior

I visited the restaurant on Wednesday 3/6/24 to get 2 meals for several days. When I tell you that the food was so awful I couldn't bring myself to eat it. Although, I tried to it was literally disgusting and the smell and taste of the tilapia made me gag. I thought that possibly I wasn't hungry just yet! But, nope today is Friday 3/8/24, and I tried it again and just couldn't bring myself to eat it. I did try a piece of chicken and determined that it was fake food because it was incredibly chewy and stringy, the rice was thoroughly undercooked and tasted like cardboard, the noodles &. cheese was buried under tough sliced sandwich cheese and tasted like hospital food. This place is perfect for those on a diabetic diet or low sodium restrictions. I hate wasting money on food but, tonight I took that loss of $22.23 and threw both meals in the trash where it belongs. Kings restaurant off Redan Rd is an excellent place for Soul Food I just wasn't in the area that day! To substantiate today's date I attached a calendar and photos of this garbage.

Dear Robert's Soul Food Restaurant,I have lived in the area for 10 years. I've been eager to try you, as you are the closest soul food restaurant in proximity to my house. I would pass by and your establishment was always closed during the stated business hours. Today, leaving the mall, I noticed you were finally open, so I took my shot. I attempted to order a fish plate, a 3 wing plate, and a dark meat chicken plate, through the drive thru. I was informed you were out of many items: sweet potatoes, banana pudding, and corn. Plus, you don't even carry fried okra. I was then told that in order to order fish, I'd have to come inside. A soul food spot is only as good as its fried chicken & mac & cheese....Now, what is this? I had on sunglasses and thought maybe my eyes were deceiving me... but I had already paid... I knew it was about to be bad when an older woman walked in after me (as I was waiting on my fish plate).. and asked: is this all the macaroni and cheese yall got? But I wasn't gonna make a fuss. I get home to see this mess. I didn't even feel comfortable to eat the other sides. I made my own mashed potatoes & corn. SMH.‍ The chicken wings were just okay 5/10, and the whiting was 7/10. But what about these rolls out of the $.99 Kroger package?!My take away for the day is that I "supported a black owned business (on my side of town)." However for the $40 spent, I don't feel I got my monies worth.

Do not go here. I got food poisoning after eating it. The Mac & cheese was like elbow macaroni soup with cheese shreds on top. Went once and never going back again. Also, don't EVER get the fish because I believe that's what made me sick.

The pork chop are excellent. Always wait for the freshly cooked ones. The cabbage is good.

I ordered the chicken dinner (white meat) with Mac& cheese and green beans. I also ordered a sweet potato pie. The chicken was so juicy and flavorful. The sweet potato pie was amazing. Probably top 3 best pies I've had!!!

Our first time there, and our last time there. The restaurant rating was 100 but I found that unbelievable. The place was downright dirty. The ceiling tiles missing and stained. Holes in the ceiling The ceiling fans were caked with dirt and dust. Some of the furniture was in disrepair. That's just the condition of the restaurant. They sold me neckbones instead of oxtails for over $25, a plate. Hubby's fish was terribly overcooked. We returned everything for a full refund. If you're intent on going, take a look at the condition of the restaurant before ordering the food. We didn't because we were ordering out. Big Mistake.

I have been curious about this place for well over 15 years. However, it always looks closed. Decided to come today after a friend telling me her mom likes this place. She said the fried fish they had was salty as all hell, somewhat burnt, and tasted like it was fried in old grease. She also said they didn't get all the wings they ordered, but the black eye peas were really good.When I stopped in, there were a few people inside and a few more people came in while I was there waiting for my food. Their massive fried and smothered pork chops, fried pork chop sandwich, and fried whole wings seem to be very popular. I also heard several people ask if they had neck bones available and when will they be making them again. However, they had other meat options available. They had very limited sides. I'm guessing that the meats and sides vary from day to day. I had the salisbury steak with mac & cheese and dressing. The salisbury steak/ gravy actually tasted very good and had good flavor despite not having an onion or pepper in sight. The mac & cheese was good as well. It tasted like that old school, church mother mac & cheese. However, it was a little salty, baked to death and dry. The cheese on top was hard and stiff, it was crumbling and you could see the curdled eggs from it being overcooked. The dressing on the other hand...total fail!!! I had to drown it in gravy to try and make it palatable, but I just couldn't eat it after a while. Also, they offered no cranberry sauce to go with the dressing. I must have cranberry sauce with dressing and gravy, but this is a personal preference. I like that they offered rolls as another option to cornbread. I also ordered 1 piece of fried whiting to try. It was indeed salty as all hell. I also got a piece of red velvet cake. If I had to guess, I would say it definitely didn't taste homemade. Overall, the food was ok. I probably wouldn't go back though. Customer service was good.

Horrible food salty mac n cheese whereas the collard greens and pork chop had NO seasoning. Asked did they do refills was told yes asked for price and was quoted the same price As original drink which was sarcastic and rude ....never again its so hard to support your own Paula Dean would NEVER

The food was amazing No Cap I'm thinking about takeing that 35 min drive...today & we ate there yesterday it's that good & the prices are reasonable
