Review by Laisha B.

November 18, 2024

I recently visited The Weekend Spot, and overall, it’s a pleasant soul food experience that feels like home! The mac and cheese was creamy, perfectly complementing my fried chicken wings, which were crispy and flavorful. The atmosphere is cozy, making it great for families, and the staff were genuinely friendly. While the wait time was a bit long, the food delivered on taste. Don’t skip the homemade strawberry cheesecake - it’s the cherry on top of a comforting meal. I’ll be back for sure! 🍰
