My first and last visit! Ordered 2 chicken wing dinners. One with cabbage Mac & cheese and one with greens (which were undercooked) The cabbage was the best of the dinner. The mac & cheese was just ok. But to my surprise, the chicken was 5 small wing dings, not whole wings.( no seasoning) What! The dinner cost $18. It wasn’t a dinner, it was a snack!

I was actually looking forward to eating here. No crowd control. Service was very long even though toppings are prepared. I seen a lot of customers waiting for staff as they stood there to wipe food stations even though it was already cleaned. Customer service should have been first especially with people continuously walking in.
The staff seemed overwhelmed although it was early in the day and they just opened. There was no instructions for the lines. People don’t know who’s next. The store has too much product in the isles.
Portions are inconsistent. I did not receive what was advertised. I was excited due to Detroit influencers hyping up this place; NO!! they must have paid them for those reviews because my food was cold!!!
Portions are very small then want to tell you it’s extra for everything. The male chef gave good portions but the other staff are very lackluster in their customer service. A slice of pita bread is $2!! All other Mediterranean restaurants include this in your order.
The food was cold!!!
I left frustrated which caused me not to enjoy my food. I chose them out of many other places and did not get what was expected whatsoever.
People want to spend their hard worked money on good food especially when they are tired of cooking and may want to spend their money on a take out lunch/dinner.
I know it’s in the city but I’ve gotten way better service than this!
Going there with caution!!!

This place has more misses than hits turkey wing was flavorful but was tuff as hell and the dressing was baked cornbread not dressing at all. I have been on multiple occasions and they always forget something on the order. And they charge you 4% on card they don’t tell you that it’s a sticker on the side of the scanner with the words faded off.

First time eating their food and very disappointed! The black eye peas were salty and the Mac and cheese had more cheese than noodles. The peach cobbler was so small for $5 and didn’t have any crust! Just peaches and sauce. Don’t talk about the smallest square of cornbread you got that was Jiffy mix. We saw the big boxes on the counter. Green was ok. Not worth the drive for me.

I ordered pork chops they taste like they been sitting out FOR DAYS! And then they put a BUNCH of unnecessary nasty seasoning on them! Everybody don’t like that I also ordered dirty rice it was just literally white rice not even with salt! My 11 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER said the cabbage taste like dirt! Like yall didn’t clean them! My kids didn’t even eat dinner cause it was NASTY! And the grease had to be at least a week old!

True review for Central Market Kicthen inside the liquor store. I went on Feb 13th. The cook asked us not to blast them on social media to come to her first if it wasn’t good. Well it wasn’t and her excuse is the over flux of customers bc of the social media post. She can’t keep up it’s one person that can cook. What irritates me is that she said the social media post is the reason for the inconsistency basically. But you had about 3 more popular influencers come and all their food was good??! How when a regular customer comes you have an excuse. The greens taste earthy like she just put them in the pot NO SEASONING. But everything we had that day was horrible. As pictured we got oxtails, fried chicken wings, sweet potatoes, collard greens and mac and cheese. All the food we had was horrible I do not recommend. Also it took over an hour to get “fresh” food.

The Restaurant is located in a Liquor Store on W. 8 Mile. We all know some of the best foods are found in the City in the Liquor Stores. I have the fried pork chop meal with some dressing and green beans. Bae had the shirt ribs with double Mac. Friend had short ribs Mac n cheese and greens. All meals came with a canned pop and a side of cornbread. Then I got a banana pudding for dessert. Baby it didn’t disappoint.

The food here is pretty good soul food. It hits the spot for a quick homestyle Sunday dinner. The cornbread dressing and fried pork chops are tasty. It’s inside the party store but it’s a well managed take out eatery. The meatloaf wasn’t my favorite. Some selections on the hot food table looked less appetizing than others.

This convenient store is nothing at all what I expected when I walked in. It is so clean, neatly designed, and welcoming. The store has a cool aesthetic with very modern aisles and cooler sections. The variety of wine and food offerings is grand! The mural when you first walk in to the right is very creative! The restaurant offers so many tasty choices. The cooking staff and convention staff were very welcoming and answered all my questions when ordering.
We really enjoyed the freshness of the catfish and the smothered pork chops, which were cooked fresh to order. The sides were somewhat bland, but they were still pretty good. We will definitely be back in to try more of their menu.
Thank you

Food Horrible!!! We were there Sunday. Dryest oxtails I have ever tasted, the greens were subpar and the macaroni and cheese gummy. I wasted $27.55 on this mess. The environment was chaotic and the servers were socializing and talking over the plates as they were making them. One young lady was so busy talking about an incident that had just occurred, she did not even realize her sleeve was in the greens, GROSS!. I threw my plate away. Should have followed my first mind and gone to Mr. B’s. Needless to say I won’t be returning. If I could give 0 stars I would have.
