The cherry cobbler is good though.
BACK TO THE REVIEW
One restaurant chain that I refuse to visit that I once was a fan of is Applebee’s. This Georgia based chain is a sinking ship, because of their stingy and tiny food portions, bad attitude servers, and Applebee’s other shady buisiness practices. The owners, managers, and staff of String Bean know what their competitors do that can upset customers to the point of them never coming back, and try very hard to offer reasonably priced food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. By the way, Applebee’s and String Bean are the exact same price range for comparable comfort foods. String Bean, however, offers a punch card that gets 1 credit per visit. About 8 credits gets you a FREE MEAL! Applebee’s may have the same incentive, but I don’t dine there knowing I will get hassle filled, lousy service, mediocre food, and an overall most aggrevating experience. I WOULD RATHER JUST GO TO MCDONALD’S!!
The food at String Bean is fantastic in every way that food can be great. I love their cornbread, dinner rolls, hamburgers, green beans, mashed potatoes, fries, and black eyed peas. My only complaint is the dessert menu is limited, and their milkshakes taste like watered-down melting ice cream!! I just go to Braums next door for a hot caramel sundae after a nice meal at String Bean. Once again, I want to reiterate how much I like String Bean Restaurant, and have since 1988, back when I used to wear a denim jacket, had a black CASIO calculator watch on my wrist, wore penny loafer shoes, and grew my hair in a long tail. String Bean was on Spring Valley Road near U S. Highway 75 back then, but today, is on Campbell Road at Coit. Their faithful commitment to great service and delicious food to this day remains the same. This restaurant is not afraid to go up against the many fiercely competitive restaurants, a lot of them being long time corporate restaurant chains. In fact, the more the big chain restaurants change by cutting corners and going down in food quality, the more String Bean remains the same great dining experience since they first began in 1977. The owners really do care, and want you to know that they want you to come back. See the included picture with this posted review; it is a box of matches from String Bean Restaurant from 1990 when they were at their original location on Spring Valley Road.
Took about 4-5 minutes for a greeting which is long even for this time of day.
Once greeted gave entie order.
Ordered Chicken Fried Steak, Fries, Collard Greens and Iced Tea. Was offered rolls and cornbread. Accepted 1 of each.
Drink came out quickly and food pretty quick after. Tea tasted great but a little sweet for my taste. Started with Collard Greens.. they were fantastic and the stars of the meal. Tasted fresh which seems odd for this time of year but they were well seasoned, not mushy, hot, and delicious. Fries were some sort of previously frozen product with a crispy coating, seasoning and not very potatoey. Chicken Fried Steak was also a previously frozen product and was warm not hot. Covered in a warm not hot liquidey cream gravy that was in the dire need of some cracked black pepper.
Roll was average. Cornbread was good but way too sweet for me as well. I want to taste corn not sugar. Breads were served with Margarine. Margarine should have died in the 90s real butter can’t cost too awful much more. Service after first late interaction was fantastic and attentive. Ill try again another time but realized why I haven’t been here in a while.
The food is amazing, as well as the service, everyone is always so polite and nice.
I can’t get enough of this amazing place, I will always make my way back to this place!
