What People Are Saying About Five Spot Soul Food Restaurant

The Scene – Gang Starr. DJ Red Alert. The Notorious B.I.G. All of them have either patronized the long steaming troths of food behind this bustling food counter or have been honored with an autographed picture on the wall. The brightly lit Bed-Sty soul food joint, which does big business at their attached bar, serves heaping plates southern grandma food: grilled honey mustard chicken, collard greens, cornbread, candied yams and countless others.

DISGUSTING!

I have ordered twice from Five Spot..the first time it was ok, but my chicken was a little under-cooked, and the mac n' cheese was dry. The second time it was not any better. All of the food seemed like it was made two days prior and sat under a heat lamp. The banana pudding was also old and artificial tasting. Don't waste your money or time.
- Pros: nothing
- Cons: bad food..

When I'm in the mood for soul...

I stay the hell away from the Five Spot! When it first opened up I was psyched. The only other place around was Ruthies and though okay, it wasnt all that great. I have eaten there on and off but after the last three times of undercooked BLOODY chicken thigh, hard crusty mac and cheese, sour bitter watery collard greens and a stale velvet cake...forget it..no more chance :o( There's an OUTSTANDING soul food restaurant on Atlantic, right off of Court that though out of the way is well worth it! Stay away from the Five Spot if your looking to fill that particular hankerin...
- Pros: ok service
- Cons: undercooked chicken, stale food

I know what Soul Food is supposed to taste like and sorry Five Spot, but you don't make the cut. How do you mess up french fries? You don't bring out a plate of brown twice-fried french fries. Don't they watch Kitchen Nightmares?
I agree about the too-sweet BBQ sauce, the fish was ok but a tad over cooked. The only bright spot are the drinks and general bar atmosphere. I'll go back for that, but get your food someplace else.
- Pros: Good Bar Scene
- Cons: Yucky Food
