J Spot Kitchen featuring enos tacos

Ordered a few things.
Turkey sandwich with fries, Wings, and lobster noodles.
Wings were a nice meaty size.
Fries were great.
Turkey sandwich was good just small.
Lobster noodles was lacking flavor.
The lobster itself was really good but the noodles had little to no flavor.
Owner says be patient with them as they are in need of more staff.
Wait time was 20 minutes for our food.

I'd been wanting to try this place for a while.
I love a little sketchy hole in the wall food place.
It's inside arcade market all the way in the back and yes it's in a pretty bad neighborhood blah blah blah.
I ain't worried about all that.
It's the hood y'all, get over it.
First of all I'd like to say not greeting customers when they walk up is a sure way to miss out on business.
I almost walked away and then decided I'd press the issue because I really just wanted to try it.
After the cook looked at me multiple times and ignored me, I flagged down another older guy who was extremely kind.
He explained the menu and was obviously passionate about his work because he went into detail.
So I order some shrimp and grits, something Ive never liked before, and waited at the barstools.
As I'm waiting a lady comes up, looking everywhere for someone to take her order just like I had to.
Finally she flags down that same cook who looks at her and tries to ignore her but she catches him.
He then huffs and puffs, rolls his eyes, slowly walks over to her.
She asks if the list on the wall is milkshake flavors, he then doesn't answer her but starts reading off the flavors.
As if she can't read.
She then restates her question and he asks, so do you want a milkshake.
Hands down one of the rudest people Iv ever seen.
She then starts apologizing because "she knows he's tired.
I'm sorry to bug you.
I didn't mean to interrupt your day.
I'm sorry.
Sometimes what helps me wake up is drinking water." He replied to her, "yeah, I'll drink some water" with complete sarcasm in his voice.
I was so annoyed I almost left.
The older guy brings out my order, packs it up nice for me, and I get out of there.
The food was really damn good.
I added lobster which I wouldn't recommend.
Had little flavor although it had good texture.
The grits were so creamy and delicious.
Gravy was bomb.
Shrimp fried perfectly.
Sausages were juicy.
First time I've ever liked shrimp n grits. Overall: I'll be back to try more of their food.
I'm hoping that kid in the chefs outfit won't be there.
I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone who likes good customer service.
If your lucky, theres a shorter Asian or Mexican guy who works there and he's awesome and also seems like he does most of the cooking.
Ask him every time.

Owner response

Oh yum! I went in hoping to get a loaded potato sadly they were out today.
Something about the potatoes being available only to those with EBT cards.
But if I call in advance they said they would have one cooked for me So I got dirty rice and it was excellent for breakfast.
The atmosphere is interesting being that it's inside that little market.
The market is kind of like a grocery store you find in small towns.
Where they have a little bit of everything.
Hardware, wood for the fire, clothing, just about anything you might need.
I highly recommend you stop by the little neighborhood market and support them.
