- PTPrecious Taylor2 days ago5.0This was my first visiting this restaurant and it definitely won’t be the last! I came here the other day with my friend and was greeted by Desiree, who was so kind and provided excellent service. The dining area was very spacious and clean, and they had a great r&b playlist going.Our food took a while but it came out it was delicious and fresh! The southwest egg rolls were very flavorful and that sauce was 🔥 the stuffed salmon was fresh, flavorful, cooked to perfection. The Mac and cheese was cheesy and savory. The greens were good but a little bitter for my liking, but I’m picky when it comes to greens anyway. My friend ordered their hot honey wings and they were fire and a nice size. I’ll definitely be back! 🔥🔥
- RLR&R Bailey Enterprises, LLC4 days ago5.0On this past Saturday August 29th, 26 we, the family decided to celebrate our Aunts 85th birthday at The Neighborhood Gem, they did NOT disappoint, from the service, the food, to the aesthetics we truly had a GREAT time!!!

- LPLatasha PurnellAug 10, 20265.0We had the stuff chicken dinner as well as the stuff chicken pasta.. The chicken was very dry and had to much cheesy sauce. I did not like it at all. However the greens and the candy yams were good. Mac and cheese no. The staff were very polite and very friendly. Our server was very sweet. She greeted me with an hug. Super sweet. Her customer service was absolutely top tier. The music had me moving the whole time I was there lol. I will come back, but I will definitely try something different. Thank you for the experience.
