text: Tonight I was in the mood for fried okra I had not had any in a while and so I mentioned my craving to my husband who being happy to fulfill my wishes began searching for a place that offered it Our first choice would have been Catfish Alley but it was closed on Mondays So he searched some more and decided that M M Soul Food would sufficennWe had no problems finding a table however it was very busy with only three wait staff working The Cowboys was on the tube so we sat just a little bit from the TV so as to keep the game in view Almost immediately we got asked how we were doing and we were assured someone would be right over but a bit of time passed before someone actually stopped to ask us about drink orders We placed those and again found ourselves waiting for someone to take our food ordernnWhat seemed like awhile our ice teas arrived and eventually a friendly waitress stopped to ask about our order We began with red beans and rice severed with corn cakes and hot link We made the mistake of ordering our meals at the same time little did we know it would all arrive at about the same time I got the meat loaf covered with gravy and three sides what I asked for was of course the fried okra mac cheese and collard greens What I got was the meat loaf yams and collard greens no okra I do not know what happened to the mac cheesennMy husband and I shared the red beans rice and hot link and started on our meals only to completely finish everything before the waitress returned to check on us and reassure me she would bring my fried okra Time passed and finally I got the fried okra it had a nice golden color to it was crisp and I could see it was cornmeal breaded which was how my mother always did it With the first bite I knew it was not going to satisfy my craving It was room temperature the texture was right but just too cold to be worth the wait I finished it quickly and we expected the check only to wait what seemed like forever before the waitress acknowledge us again she did half heartedly make an attempt at an apology stating she had all her tables on the other side and we were her only table on this side even so we waited another minutes just to get the ckeck collected and cash outnnI did not get my craving satisfied so I know that we will have to try again maybe I will wait for Catfish Alley Would I go back to M M Soul Food I have to admit I would but hopefully we will see better service
