Best WLM Reviews
This is restaurant is truly a gem. I'm so glad I have it a try. The service was prompt and professional. The food was seasoned to perfection & well made. I opted for 2 eggs scrambled, home fries, bacon, rye toast & cranberry juice. The price point of the menu was fair. They have a jazz band every other Sunday with no cover charge. The restaurant was clean and in good repair. As well as the restrooms. This is definitely a staple in the community. And a delightful place to please your palate.
First and foremost, I would like to say that customer service was everything. I’m very big on how people energy is when cooking my food if your not happy the food is nasty!!
Secondly, unfortunately I had to give 3 stars because of some off the food. I order a steak and eggs, also a short rib with mac and cheese and greens.
The steak was thin and had a lot of fat on it, I’m not sure why it wasn’t cut off. Maybe to make it seem like more or just didn’t do it but it was tasty from what I could eat. The eggs were okay I asked for them to be cooked easy so if they were maybe because they were in a container with foil they continued to cook. The potatoes I asked for no onions and bell peppers and I got a plate full of them and potatoes were not cooked all the way through. Yet flavor was cool.
Second dish short ribs, was so excited to see it when I got it. The mac & cheese was good and I’m a Big Mac and cheese person so that was a plus for me, greens were cool wish they were also cooked a bit longer and had more portions of it. Cornbread was the best and I’m not a huge fan of cornbread so to say I ate the entire thing was amazing. Now for the meat they do give you a big portion of it but when that size is so big I believe your cook time should be longer. Flavor was good but I wasn’t able to eat it due to the fat on it and I couldn’t even stick a fork in it. So it was disappointing I had to get rid of it. I think if they would have cooked it longer to be more tender that would have changed the whole meal in my opinion.
I would like to go back to try other things on the menu that seem to look taste.
I don’t like giving bad reviews, but some things need to be said. We ordered the beef short ribs and grits, beef rib platter, and fried chicken. I ordered online and picked up the meal. The staff were not friendly at all. Long story short, we thought that we contracted COVID because we couldn’t taste anything while eating the beef dishes. The only saving grace was the chicken, however, I like my chicken cleaned before it’s cooked, and I prefer not to see a recognizable fried feather. I tried to touch up the food today, by recooking it; the beef was so fatty (both dishes). The chef shouldn’t be cooking. They know nothing about seasoning and rendering the fat, or worse, they don’t care. I couldn’t save the meal and ended up tossing everything out (including the chicken after reading that they let it sit it in its juices and don’t rinse them before cooking). $76 down the drain, but the lesson was priceless. I will never patronize this place again. I expected better…
Visted from Cleveland and came across Amari's. Service was great friendly inviting and attentive. The food was fresh and tasty!
Quaint little jewel that I underestimated. My friend took me here and the food was amazing!!! I got the fish and grits with mango lemonade. We have mimosas its also BYOB highly recommend.
The food was delicious. Seasoned well, my only issue is that I felt the seafood omelette should have been more fuller and longer. Other than that, everything was perfect. I didn't take any stars away because of it. Customer Service was also great and pleasant. And the food is reasonably priced!
This spot is clean, the staff is friendly, and the food is good. This is a must-go for food, especially for breakfast. My only suggestion is that the music selection should be more Motown and Philly soul, with less ratchet nightclub vibes for families dining in, at least during the day hours
I was in Philly today picking up my daughter from Temple. I wanted to get some soul food early in the morning to take home with me. The customer service and the food was amazing. I got the best shrimp and grits I have ever had they were eaten in the car and didn’t even make it home. I also purchased the fish dinner which was seasoned and cooked perfectly. I will definitely be going back!
