"Decided to come here for food and drinks and watch the Celtics game on my birthday!! Our server was adorable!! I'm definitely coming back because the food was fire!! Them honey garlic wings ain't nothing to play with....!!! I'll definitely be back!!"

"We arrived just as they were opening on a Friday afternoon. I could smell the aromas as we approached the restaurant!! We ordered the Mama lynch that came with fried fish, fried pork chops, and chicken wings.... Our side selections were the red beans and rice, mans and cheese and an extra side of yams... OMG.. the flavors were smacking.. delicious... flavors popping. So good.. our waitress Shawnee , sorry if I misspelled or got your name wrong, was very polite and attentive. She shared that she made the Mac and cheese and red beans and rice with love and that's exactly how the food tasted, loved Five stars so delicious . When we return to the area, we will be back."

"Came here after struggling to find a brunch spot on Sunday and boy am I glad I came to Rob Bens. I got the garlic shrimp and grits and it was delicious. My boyfriend got the smothered oxtails and rice with Mac and cheese and yams as his side and they were amazing! Definitely will need a nap after this meal but it didn’t feel greasy or unnecessarily heavy. The best part of our experience was the service. Both our server and the chef checked on us and made sure we didn’t have to ask for anything. Courteous funny and amazing at anticipating your needs. Definitely recommend and will be back!"

"The food was very good. The prices were very reasonable. Our waitress was great. The only reason they got 4 stars instead of 5 is because they were sold out of my first two desert choices. So I had to settle for number 3. Atmosphere inside was fine, but neighborhood leaves a bit to be desired. Maybe it was just my timing."

"The food was excellent! We had the honey mustard wings, they were sticky and yet crispy. The red beans and rice is flavorful like it has been stewing all day. The fried shrimp were huge and juicy and well seasoned with a crunchy cornmeal coating. The yams were seasoned to perfection. The mac and cheese makes you close your eyes and let out a deep sigh of sweet joy. The fish was crispy and flavorful and fresh tasting. The serving size was huge. We also had a pineapple Ciroc cosmopolitan and a Bush Rod with whiskey instead of Hennessy. Both drinks were Spirit forward and not too sweet. We were able to watch the NCAA women’s final four game and Lakers game at the same time. The servers were kind and our food didn’t take long to come out at all. We are definitely going to make this our new go to spot."
