Tasties

I mean we are from Nyc traveling for the roots picnic looking for great vibes and services. We found this brunch spot last minute. Read the reviews. Looked and seems like a good time. Thats it... the aesthetics and music is on point but the food service is not. If you're on a time frame this is not the place. We've waited over 30 minutes for the establishment to acknowledge us and seat us. And almost 2hrs to be served. Food music and drinks are good but confusing orders and service time is not

Updating my review and it's worse than before. Tasties is DIRTY! RAID cans in the kitchen, fridge not kept at correct temps. Grease and dust on equipment. Food is trash and staff has bad attitudes. Look at their health safety report before you eat here.

This place brought me back to Yelp after a review hiatus. Child...this place got some nerve lmao. Me and some friends met in Philly for dinner because this place came highly recommended. Our reservation was Saturday evening and it was completely empty, so I'm thinking ..bet..we about to get amazing service and great food since it's just us. WRONG!1. The waiter took forever to come to the table and didn't feel any kind of way bout it. 2. Drink prices were absolutely insane for the type of restaurant, $22 for a "Long Island" and the waiter admitted they use rail. He also said none of the towers were available because he didn't know how to make them. I opted for a gin & tonic and they didn't have that or club soda. 3. Majority of the menu was not available. No oxtail or ingredients for the egg roll particularly. 4. I asked for the manager who was not present and the waiter said he was in charge. I asked him to compensate for the lackluster experience by requesting a round of free shots for the table and he said no lmao. No apology. No free appetizers. Straight carried 5. A Caesar salad has romaine lettuce, they brought it out with iceberg lettuce and tomatoes with dressing on the side. This place only has two stars from me because my food was pretty good. Took forever to come out, but good. The dinner rolls were amazing. Mac and cheese wasn't bad, just too much pepper. The rest of the staff was amicable and they even changed the music for us. I would not come back here because they lack professionalism and organization. I can't imagine how it is on a busy day. People must be use to mediocre service and lack of options because there is absolutely no way this business can remain successful operating like that.

So disappointed. I called and placed an order over the phone. It did not get off to a great start. The person answered and then said "oh shit." I then explained I wanted to place an order to go. She recovered and took my order and told me to come right away. When I arrived she started making my order. I paid her for the order and left her a nice tip. Got home looked at my platter and hoped it tasted better than it looked. The yams were simply boiled sweet potatoes with no flavor. The macaroni and cheese looked like and tasted like the scraps or scrapings of the pan; utterly disgusting. The turkey wings were tender but we're laying in a bath of oil instead of gravy. The collards were mediocre. There is a reason why there were no customers, quality and service has declined greatly.

Celebrated a 30th birthday here on a Saturday. The restaurant is located on a busy street in West Philly and there is only street parking available. The inside of the restaurant is minimally decorated but looks cute. There is limited seating but there seems to be a lounge area upstairs. The menu prices are reasonable (entrees ranged between $15-$40)We had a party of 13 people and the restaurant/ staff were accommodating. The menu is not big but has good food selections. I ordered the whiting w/ 2 sides (Mac n cheese and greens). The whiting and Mac n cheese were delicious but the greens were salty. My friend said the salmon entree was tasty and so was the the chicken and waffles. Overall a decent experience but one suggestion is the place needs a deep cleaning as the seating chairs and menus were not clean.

I'm only giving this one star because I have to give it a rating. The food was absolutely disgusting! The greens were SALTY. The fried fish had no flavor. The sweet potatoes tasted like straight vanilla extract. The chicken wings were also SALTY and tasted like old grease.. and the Mac and cheese had no flavor .. just cheese and pepper. We are HIGHLY disappointed and STILL hungry. I wouldn't even give this food to my dogs. YUCK!

Was told they can't take shrimp orders over the phone. I'd have to place my order and when I get there place the shrimp order in person and wait. I asked why and the dizzy girl said, "cause it's the rules " I said yes but why? Did something happen? She said, "yes" but didn't continue with what lmao....I laughed and said it's ok and hung up. SuperWeird

Upon arrival, the reservation/seating situation was a little confusing, but eventually we were able to sit, and were helped right away. The food was really good... I had the Corporate Thuggin AKA fish shrimp and grits. Compliments to the chef cause it was immaculate! I'd suggest a better speaker system for the DJ cause it was kinda hard to hear anyone while talking or trying to order your food. Outside of that, our server or the one that eventually stayed with us for the remainder of our time was great, s/o to her! I'd return for this meal.

I love this place, the food is delicious.The soul food reminds me of down south cooking. Everybody who works there is so helpful and friendly. This is the perfect gram pic spot, it's beautiful & hookah be poppin.

I got fried chicken ,Mac n cheese and yams Chicken was big and husky like they was in the army or navy, yams tasted sour and Mac and cheese was dry don't recommend!!!!
