He's honest and that's important. These restaurants need to do better or shut down. 2 Chains restaurant needs a visit from the health department selling old spoiled chicken 🤢
I swear all of these black owned restaurants here in Atlanta are all the same. I have stopped going to those establishments, as sad as it sounds. We try to support each other, but when they are constantly price-gouging us for subpar food, that is the issue I have. You cannot hire your homeboy or someone off the street with no culinary experience talking about you opening a food spot.
Brother, you are spot on when it comes to black owned restaurants and those extra fees. Nana's chicken and waffles in Mcdonough, GA charged an 18% holiday fee on June tenth.
That’s any industry.. all the good talent left and these jobs are just trying to have a full staff regardless of who they employ. America went downhill after that
@@williamwalsh1533Probably because the former staff found work elsewhere, assuming they didn't outright leave the food service industry. Restaurant work can be full of drama and stress, too, which leads to plenty of turnover.
@@williamwalsh1533 a lot of places couldn't afford the menu items, employee pay rate, and some place didn't survive. It's cheaper to use can goods, and premade meals instead of fresh ingredients, and that pretty much eliminated the need for someone with actual cooking experience. The restaurant industry never fully recovered in my opinion
I saw u in that vegan spot and showed u my comment. I let it be known how the restaurants be over changing and making u pay for parking. The sad part about this whole Atlanta food tour reviews is u are absolutely right. I think that most businesses here think they are above criticism and u gotta eat there because this is Atlanta 🤦
“I’ve been to a-LOOTTTTT of places that are not black owned and I never ran into this problem”. THANK YOU I’m going to be SO honest right here, I think it’s mix of 2 things. My brothas and sisters I HEEEDD ya’ll to just start attending business classes for the GOD sake of our economy(IF you are interested in starting a business). And 2 Ya’ll need to understand that just because you’re a black owned business doesn’t mean shit to a ton of people. I promise, if you are across the street from another race owned place, I’ll like most likely go to them because I’m usually treated better and I get to adjust my gratuity price/tip. So foh, stop trying to play your people just because we support you and just DO.GOOD.FUCKING.BUISNESS. And you WILL see us all the time. Simple. When will we get it!? Ps: An aggressive stereotypical attitude doesn’t work for a PROFESSIONAL environment. Get your act together.
All this review has proven to me is to continue to stay away from these "MONEY GRABBING CRAPOLA ON A PLATE" establishments. Tiny wings Service charges Spoiled/old food Sorry, looking cheap to-go containers And lets not forget WAY TOO OVERPRICED! Chime, thanks for your honesty! We, the real people, appreciate you!
Makes you wonder what the gratuity is while dining in. If it's 20% for takeout, is it 35% for dine in? I'm not paying more than 8-10% tip on takeout. No table service, drink refills, no need to clean table or wash extra dishes. Insert Boosie voice, "COME ON MANE"!
Rashad and Kurt actually look like they got some good food going on. Everyones opinion on food is different. Take that into consideration. Love the reviews. ❤
Georgia is wrong for imposing all of those taxes. Unfortunately depending on the city and county they’re in restaurants have to pay all the taxes you listed. Another reason why I will never live in GA. They are getting taxed to the nines. My cousin lived there for years but came back home to TX a few years ago. Things can be high, but tax at least in restaurants is reasonable and there’s no state or county tax.
I do wish I knew what was going on with black owned businesses where they have to charge the way they do. Especially the ones who are backed by known celebrities. I would think u would want to prioritize value and quality over everything else because that would make people continue to come back. Instead it seems like we like to cut corners and skim each other and overcharge to make a quick profit. But that’s not a recipe for long term success. In that regard I agree with u Chime. We need to do better.
You are so correct. It’s almost as if they know it won’t last and will get as much money as they can and hope their celebrity status Carries the business
Go to Southern Fusion (Formerly known as Heaven Cafe). It is in Locust Grove, GA. It’s a small business that has some good breakfast. Their strawberry cinnamon rolls are pretty good too.
Evil Keith Lee mode activate 🤨🔥💯 Sir I love these reviews in Atlanta, because you are saying what people have been thinking for a long time 😂🫣 but I am a little disappointed you did not get a chance to check out the Keith Sweat restaurant in Douglasville area 😅😂
Naw dude, no way you would ever come back to any restaurant that sold you sour chicken. Nooope, cannot take you serious anymore, wish I hadn’t heard that. Sour chicken can kill my guy!
Atlanta lost its southern soul way back when LaFace, Bobby/Whitney came to town. It’s been a glossy scammy facade ever since. S/O to the native Atlantans… I know y’all gotta be sick of the fukry that took over your beloved city.
What I've learned from this is that the main selling point of the majority of celebrity restaurants is the affiliation with the celebrity and not the quality of the food. Its a gimmick to get people in the door. At least some of the food seemed to be decent and it wasn't all trash.
Now this was a Great Review!! If you are now hitting up the spots that are ATL-ish! Good job,and always love your honesty,because you are never deliberately taking away any from their business in a bad way. You are only just speaking the truth from your personal, taste buds. Keep up the good so k, and please, please continue to cal out these over priced restaurants!!! Shame on them, who do not want to do better! But we love and less you for always telling the truth from your personal prospective! Keep up the great work🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇💕💕💕
Seems like rappers just hire people off Craigslist and tell them what to cook when the Honduran guy was just laid off from a construction job and only speaks Spanish and never set foot in a kitchen before
I love how Chime is talking about how the collard greens doesn't pair well with just meat and then right at the end hits us with the "Btw they suck" lmao
Shame on 2 chainz for robbing his own community like that and giving them food poisoning and spoiled chicken disguised as lemon pepper wings. Making all that good money but can't make sure you pay for the best quality service and good food that's disappointing af.
He just puts his name on the business. He's definitely not cooking, training, keeping up with inventory, etc. Celebrities have got to learn to be more hands-on.
@@nightangel3578 He needs to be more hands on with his business and employees and staff and knows who in charge of making sure his business is running smoothly that's wtf its all about when you starting a business and ripping your people off.

I live in the Atlanta area and didnt know he had a restaurant here. Surprised his place place had the best food based on this video. How is Bow wow affording that rent on Peachtree 👀👀
On a completely separate issue that I have among our community is why not do something else for the community outside of open restaurants, no disrespect but I’m just tired of it, most of these places (not in the video) are usually overpriced mid food and in food deserts, with poor service, or irregular hours, so why not open a grocery store, open a YMCA, but hey, I know, legitimate questions always looked at as hate, so salute I guess….and this is my own personal opinion so feel free to disagree,
I agree about the grocery store. I saw a video where there were also community gardens that can also be used as a farmer's market. It really is a challenge to do something for the communitah AND make a PROFIT.

@@wonderfullymadefoods4736 All white-owned, too.

What! If anything, they should give a discount on that day to reinforce the importance of that day.
Woooowwwww!!!! A mess!!
That was my go too in Conyers.
😂 Chime is hands down my favorite food critic
. Maybe Little Bow Wow will know who he is next time.
Charging someone $20 for service fees is crazy.
Please don’t let the rappers mess up the food industry!! They already messed up there own rap industry!!!!

You know that they can't control the employees
Places like "2 chain" are what make people sick! Serving spoiled chicken! I know they could smell that before they started cooking it. :(
As a former chef, i can say that after covid, restaurants just started hiring anybody. Ive witnessed it first hand. No training or cooking knowledge.
That’s any industry.. all the good talent left and these jobs are just trying to have a full staff regardless of who they employ. America went downhill after that
Why didn't they re-hire the workers?

Crazy out of all the restaurants Bow Wow's was the only one that knew the importance of seasoning 😂😂😂
Service charge for takeout😂😂😂😂😭😭😭 Thats taking the piss. Service charge for putting the food in the bag and saying have a nice day😂

Damn, salt and pepper is the bare minimum of seasonings. I hope these restaurant owners take this criticism as a positive move to make changes.
Rating it 1.8 then saying you would come back is diabolical what you coming back to rate it 2.0?😂

Them potatoes from Rasheed’s and Kirk’s Restaurant looks like the roasted potatoes from Trader Joe’s lol

That floor looked utterly disgusting.
They coated the lemon pepper wings to hide the sourness of the chicken
Wings looked nasty AF…. soft translucent skin with mushy meat. They tried to hide it under the seasoning🤣😂🤣
Damn TI.. is there a pasta shortage we don’t know about lol 😂
Man, the food would have went back into that restaurant for my money back.
I love this vlog! Keep stuff like this going 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😂😂😂😂😂
It makes me laugh when he mentions the rappers names like they cheffed it😂 yo Two Chains 😂😂😂
Down low is the answer
They should have better chefs if ya name on the restaurant or its associated with em lol
Funny but I’m not surprised Bow Wow spot got the best rating
Dam Chime U gettn trashbag food down that way bruh!!! Only thang I seen that looked good was them wings from the last spot
Love the long video and your expertise
I could tell that Chicken wasn't seasoned just by looking at the skin
Thanks for the honest review Bro 🙌🏾.

$50 for steak and potatoes lol. I’ll rather go to Longhorn or Texas Roadhouse.
