I desperately wanted some soul food so bad one evening and decided to venture to Spoonbreads on Lenox. I know that years ago I had tried their food but I could not remember why I never went back. Well now I know. It was on a early evening on a Friday and they had very few customers. I proceeded to the take out counter where I was ignored for about ten minutes. Finally the rude hostess decided to entertain me by taking my order but not paying attention to what I was saying. So I placed my order and when I checked the receipt I realized that she had failed to add additional items that I had requested. So I went back to the counter too let her know and that's when the hostess became even worse. Finally my order was ready and she gave me the additional sides at no charge. I spent over twenty dollars on disappoint food. Even the iced tea was horrible. Spoonbreads will never have to worry about my business again. Bad food and even worse service for over priced meals.

I ordered BBQ Chicken with mac and cheese and candied yams. The plate was a mess, just pieces of chicken smothered in BBQ sauce, the mac and cheese lacked salt and the candied yams were just incredibly sweet, so the tatses were not really balanced. The waitress was ok, but I was the only one there.... The atmosphere was homey and personal, but I won't go back.

Despite the service my friend and I received during my first visit the food was delicious enough to lure me back 2 more times. The fried chicken, mac & cheese, cornbread dressing, and the greens are the best i've had in NYC. However, the service was consistently poor with each visit... very poor. The third time I visited the location on 110 and the service was even worse. I recommend take-out.

I was in the area on 1/23/08 and wanted to try out this restaurant since I had read the reviews in different magazines. The place is quaint,small,and clean. My husband and I both had the lunch specials which was 2 pieces of fried chicken w/one side. I got the mac and cheese(which was delicious!!!) and my husband got the fresh hand cut fries. We were given complimentary cornbread that was very good. The fried chicken was a bit on the small side, but again it was lunch and it was very tasty and had a lil kick to it and it was moist too and crunchy and crispy on the outside. For take out I got a piece of red velvet cake. Which I had half already and it was good also. The service was good. the waitress was attentive and quick. I would definitely go back there for lunch or dinner. The prices were reasonable. The lunch specials were about $8 and the dinner entrees are about $12-16.

Being African American I eat soul food that's cooked from scratch often so I don't normally find anything so wonderful about soul food places. Miss Maude is now like a new Aunty to me. I am starting a cleanse tomorrow and wanted to taste wonderful food one last time. All I can say is if I knew the food was going to be this good I wouldn't have waited to get in the house. My order was a pick up sonce I wanted to enjoy my last meal at home. It was surprisingly empty inside, the girl who took my order was extremely pleasant. I ordered the ribs with stuffing and yams. The stuffing tasted like it was right out of the turkey and came with gravy. This Southern girl is in heaven. Going past 125 was definitely worth it.

I live in the area so I was more than anxious to try a local spot. Although the food is good, the service is horrible, horrible, horrible. I had oxtails (more bones than meat), of course I complained, but.... A friend had chicken, it was good. For dessert, the cake was OLD and dry. Tried it again a few days later, different type still old and dry. I gave them more than a few trys, especially with take out, they were still slow. One good thing, the food is always hot, and tasty, just don't be in a hurry and definitely don't have the cake.

The food is amazing! I can honestly say I haven't had anything bad from there, except maybe the gumbo but I would be willing to give that another try. And I will admit that I'm especially picky about gumbo since I'm from the Gulf Coast and grew up on it. The chicken, amazing! Collards, seconds please! Mac and cheese will put a smile on your face. And of course their desserts are great! I love this place and would recommend it to anyone. The portions are more than enough for one person, which is good since you are paying around $13 dollars a plate. How lucky am I to live only a block away from Miss Maude's!
