saw an ad in city weekly about this new place .
freind an I went there today.
Nothing good to say at all!
terrible decor , no parking, stupid menu, sticky table coverings.
some guy sits behind the cash register staring at it.
the food took 30 minutes. when it came it was gross! Catfish that was raw. Potatoe salad from Smiths food King. one scoop only! no veggies,they are $4.50 & up for sides. A side of collard greens is $8.99.
Told the waitress the catfish was raw and she argued with me about it until I asked her to try it. Came back overcook and completely flavor less. Gross!
My freind ordered a sausage sandwich with frys. easy, right? It came with a polish dog split in half on a hot bun like you get a 7-11.His frys were raw and tons of salt that would give anyone a heart attack.
This food was so over priced I thought it would be at least authentic.
Worst overpriced resturant I have been to in years.
Wrong! Wrong! and Wrong!
Stay away. Even if there's a parking spot open!
ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!!!!!! We were nothing but disappointed in Spoony & Nata's. The pictures on their website aren't even their own pictures. The outside picture isn't even of their restaurant. Our chicken had HAIR on it. And not just one hair, but LOTS OF HAIR. See the pictures I uploaded on Urban Spoon! When we asked her what she recommended, she proceeded to only recommend the most expensive things on the menu. We bought the Jambalaya, the most expensive dish, and you wanna know what it was? Instant uncle ben's rice (we have the same kind at home) and a cut up HOT DOG! We could even see the hot dog ends in our dish. WAY OVER PRICED and absolutely disgusting. We found hair in our jambalaya too. The chicken wings were all bone, no meat. We've had authentic fried chicken AND jambalaya before...this is nothing but bad, unsanitary cafeteria food.
I was looking for a good sole food place in the Salt Lake area, stumbled on this & it does seem that this is just a couple people with different names. Just due to the drama in the reviews we will not be going here. Too bad as I am from back east & Love good sole food. Looks like I will have to wait a few more months till my trip back east to get it :(
(It really seems that the waitress was the vengfull reviewer here.) Dont get me wrong I am sure the guy was a jerk however... by the childish reviews posted, it is turning customers away. This may be my loss as the food may be good; however I will never know.
