I just really wish this man had a better attitude with staff. That entitled, snobbish demeanor is CRAZY. The waiter was simply trying to make sure y’all were good on food. You can also critique with better decorum. The plating is off? It’s a small business, Darius. They can’t always afford fancy presentations. Then the pea in the cabbage. Please stop nitpicking. And the wild comparisons are just…rude. That’s why Keith Lees are so vital to the community. It’s a way to do things.
The pea is actually not nit-picking. It shows they possibly use the same utensils in different food items, possibly cross contamination. That's deadly for some. Or they just don't pay attention to details, showing laziness, which could possibly be harmful as well.
@@KY_77 while cross contamination is definitely something that should be avoided, I can guarantee you cross contamination is rampant in the restaurant business. It’s just the risk we take when we eat out. This is why people with certain allergens don’t even eat from kitchens that deal with their trigger, period. It’s almost never full-proof. I’ve also had similar situations happen with my food. I guess my thing is-could he just have picked it out and privately informed the owner? Quite possibly, but I know he’s going to do things his way. I get your point though.
I REALLY think EVERYBODY... to get a much better take on why Darius is the way he is.... will definitely give you clarity if you go watch his review on a restaurant called HUE in Boston.... He literally cried at the end. Very touching and heartfelt review. While I don't promote arrogance or rudeness.... there is a method to his madness that sortve makes sense.
I can’t stand how you talk to the staff, hell even the owner the “I don’t know who you are” was so uncalled for. Such a nasty attitude for someone who worked in the industry…it’s giving “Milk & honey” IYKYK!
Got an idea for Mr Cooks, you are visiting a lot black owned restaurants and rating the food, do spin show where you go back to the restaurants that you rated low like say 1,2, 3 out 5 and help them make adjustments lift the 4 or 5....if possible
Wow! I would assume on a professional level as a kitchen cook to a chef instead of going public I would pull them aside and show the owner/ chef the errors…. I would not eat there but I would not blast them on social media as a courtesy I would be more discreet about it. Going public kinda sucks for their business oh well just my opinion💜
Tuesday night repass green beans😂😂😂😂I am weak…..these feathers is killing me😂😂😂😂😂 oh lord my side🤣🤣🤣🤣it need prayer, supplication, sat cloth and ashes……a mess, lol…..you will not believe I have rewatched this like 10 times…. Bless they hearts though…..thanks Darius I needed this today
You said you wanted macaroni twice I went back and checked I thought I heard you say it twice one thing I see that you do is give the truth about what you taste I really like that ❤❤❤❤
This is just Darius’ experience. In his defense don’t think he speaks for everyone’s tastebuds but his own. Remember, Darius is a professional cook so he should know, by the taste of the food, what’s freshly cooked and what’s not. ijs🤷🏽♀️
In His Defense I Feel His Supporters Should Recommend High End , Real Soul , & Scratch Made Restaurants . He Himself Is A Pro Chef That Cooks From Scratch & Is A Very Up Kept , Detailed Person , So It Only Makes Sense
I’m crying yo! I’ve never watched his Food reviews just his recipes Homie talking crazy ab the food IN the damn restaurant in front of the Owner 😂🤣😭 Repass Greens… I’m too weak 😭

@darrinpatterson2142 I watched it and agree it was an awesome heartfelt review. 👏🏾👍🏾With that being said, it proves that he doesn’t have to be rude and arrogant when reviewing other restaurants that aren’t as nice as this one. 🤷🏾♂️
Bruh... Middletown is it's own whole city... it is 30-40 mins north of Cincinnati... It's not even in the greater Cincinnati area. Just a fyi, if it's inside the 275 loop then you can consider it the greater cincinnati area. Middletown is way north of 275 and it's closer to Dayton Ohio, than it is Cincinnati... With that being said, I'm cracking up at your truthfulness and honesty. Prayer, Supplication, and sackcloth and ashes>>> I'm hollerin... I would have recommended to just go get a glazed donut at central pastries since you were in Middletown.
Restaurants strive to keep their expenses on food products low so, there are some restaurants who skimp or substitute some of their ingredients purchased at a lower cost. It may not taste homemade or from scratch. In my opinion, some restaurant owners should at least consider tweeking their dishes or at least attempt to take the risk and purchase the fresher ingredients that will increase their quality of the food product they are presenting or serving.
@@BasedMinded no worries, surprisingly when you smack your adding extra air to the food increasing your senses and it makes the food taste different than when you don’t smack.
I do like the idea of these reviews but all the smacking and biting a little bit with the teeth scraping the fork is too much. It's the attitude, but I like the honesty. I don't think he means to come off nasty but it's how it reads.
I actually think he is hilarious. Personally, I wish the business owners would take a stand and not allow him in their premises. What do they expect from him for the most part. He has the audacity to sit in their businesses and give these reviews over and over again. You get what you allow. Stand up...
Hes putting me on game. Much love from Dayton. Keep doing your thing. People need to know how places taste so they dont waste your money. Taste of Belgium 🇧🇪 has the nastiest Chicken and Waffles, and located in Cincinnati. Don't get it.
Hell tf no to the feathers on the wings. I felt like you were a lil harsh to the 2nd waiter. She was simply trying to accommodate you but at the end of the day if its good its good of not its just not. Thanks 4 the review.
Folks need to get off of their high horses. This man is only being an honest customer. Also, in the real world, every customer a server comes across is not going to be pleasant and nice. The server has to remain pleasant and friendly because at the end of the day, people are spending their money in the establishment.
I will say, i went here to celebrate my mother. We were so excited because the whole city (not Cincinnati) was hizzing baout the new, great soulfood spot. But we all left disappointed. Minus the fact that there was actual sex scenes on the television, the only thing anyone enjoyed tht we got was the fried okra. And that was from a bag - frozen. Not fresh. We all stopped by somewhere else to eat on the way home. And thats after we waited an hour for drinks. I will forever tell about my horroble experience here cause its too much. Smh.
You are a true macaronis because they didn’t have no potato salad because of potato salad have eggs in it so then you all the macaroni and cheese twice because I didn’t have really no other selections besides the ones you already picked. FYI.
What’s the point of this if it isn’t lifting our community up… Donate a few hours in their kitchen if it’s that bad and maybe not showcase until their up to your “standards”🤦🏾♀️
Ms Jade: How you doing? Him: Good. I don’t know who you are… Me: 🙄 Why did that sound so rude. I mean I know it’s true, he doesn’t know who she is, but the condescending tone is very off putting.
I'm sorry everybody just stop if you don't like how he says things stop watching and about the food they are restaurant open to the public so not put it on social media

Don't get on him it's an Ohio thing. A lot of the restaurants need to step up in quality.
The way that you described that meatloaf has me in tears 😢 😅🤣

A guy like this is needed for the truth and honesty. A lot of Ohio restaurants are lacking in quality.
Not the chicken on weight watchers with Oprah!!! He is hilarious
You did order mac & cheese twice, and she read it all back, so this time your mistake !
His attitude is crazy to me.. he wants all this high end stuff he needs to go to a high end restaurant

I love your honesty. You're very sincere in your judgment. I love you ❤

Darius!! You are so funny!!!! I hate when the chicken is not cleaned 😭 please check for feathers
What do you do with the remaining food you don't eat?
That's a huge piece of meatloaf, that's never a good sign to me. All i know cincy for is chilli spaghetti & that say alot to me 😅
Don’t sit by the restroom. I’m just saying 🤢🥴😵💫😵💫

The establishment doesn’t look like a high end restaurant but like a Mom’s Kitchen location. Glad the hot food was hot. Thanks for the observation❤
I know exactly what you mean by "Repast" green beans.. just missing the yellow rice!! lol..
He needs to open a restaurant of his own so the people can rate his food
He Does Dinner Parties Across The Country & Yes His Food Is Always Critiqued
Does the lip smacking help with tasting or is it the veneers?
Some people smack when they eat
@@kyosthename I was curious. Honest question.

You asked for 2 Mac n cheese Darius I thought to myself why but I thought maybe it was for Corey
I'm surprised you didn't order collards, you always order collards
That's a WHOLE MEATLOAF 😢
Hes putting me on game. Much love from Dayton. Keep doing your thing. People need to know how places taste so they dont waste your money. Taste of Belgium 🇧🇪 has the nastiest Chicken and Waffles, and located in Cincinnati. Don't get it.
Darius those are chick wings not chicken wings 🤣
Do you have a restaurant 🤔 oh they close them all down 😂😂
Cory, don’t like nothing.
Sad thing is, her food used to be bangin… I believe she doesn’t even cook the food anymore. So sad.
I ❤ your review
How u something to say about ANYTHING when u place your fork on a table after saying the basket was dirty
He doesn't even wash his chicken
Hell tf no to the feathers on the wings. I felt like you were a lil harsh to the 2nd waiter. She was simply trying to accommodate you but at the end of the day if its good its good of not its just not. Thanks 4 the review.
He was very harsh
This is what I came looking for.
Not the repass green beans bro
Darius.........
Please........leave people's name out when you are judging and rating, I can't take it!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂pick me up!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

You can’t give a honest review without being shady ?💀 TRY HARD REAL BAD💁🏿♂️
Everyhing he eats he hates
Based on the numbers provided @21:34, their overall score is 3/5.
Is he a restaurant critic or food critic?

You didn’t eat any of the sauce. There is a reason for the sauce
I enjoy his opinions it’s what he thinks. On the other hand I will agree u have to learn how to actually talk to people.
Wtf did he come from
Duh, roll back the footage. You ordered double Mac. And you ordered sides which could have been sides for your entrees. 😂
Hey Hey 👋 watching the replay
You are a true macaronis because they didn’t have no potato salad because of potato salad have eggs in it so then you all the macaroni and cheese twice because I didn’t have really no other selections besides the ones you already picked. FYI.
lol
Yep my first time here I wasted my money
You in middle town that’s not Cincinnati your judging middle town but you keep saying Cincinnati.
Middletown is not Cincinnati
This video is a waste of time. You ate so critical. 😢
I don't care for him he's very rude 😮😮
So he a food basher so rude
What’s the point of this if it isn’t lifting our community up… Donate a few hours in their kitchen if it’s that bad and maybe not showcase until their up to your “standards”🤦🏾♀️

You is so rude to theme 😒
