Tasties

Price was good. But the food was to salty. I had the fish fried rice and chicken tenders. I couldn’t finish my meal! Both of which were just seasoned with to much salt. I tried but I will not be returning. #layoffthelawrys

Spontaneously decided to order a fried chicken platter (chicken breast) with Mac n cheese and candy yams, requesting a second side of Mac, and strawberry cake for my children. Called 20 minutes ahead. Made my pickup 25 minutes later. The food was so delicious. There was absolutely nothing bland about my food. Everything was hot and fresh, well seasoned and made my taste buds very happy. My children enjoyed the food too. It wasn’t our first time here but probably our 4^th. This was the best platter we had thus far. Previously we’ve had the fish platter which was great too! We’ll definitely go back again and again as long as they never change cooks :-)

I did a phone order for the Shrimp & Mussel pasta. It was delicious! Great portions for the price! Not sure why it has so many negative reviews but im going back to try other things on the menu for sure!

I am from jersey so I was happy to hear that open a spot over here. I have went by three times all within hours they say they are open. All three times they were closed. I will not try again. I don’t understand how you run a business like that.

The worst in the world. Called to order shrimp Alfredo and salmon Alfredo the cashier said yu can come rite now because someone else ordered the same thing but didn’t come. I said I don’t want an order that has been sitting there I want fresh food but at the same time she must have still given me the food. The shrimp was the bad and the salmon was even worst I recommend no one ever go here it’s a waste of your money and time. I knew I should’ve rode down north Philly to reddy’s on 24^th and Lehigh but no trying to give the hood a try. THEY JUST ROBBED ME WITH NO GUN.

I usually get my food at the Germantown location but I was in the area so I stopped at this one. To begin, i arrived a little after 12pm. I wanted to order buffalo shrimp… They didn’t have it. So my next choice was tilapia, Mac, & collard greens. They didn’t have collard greens so I opted for sweet potatoes. Long story short after a 30 minute wait my sweet potatoes were cold and they did not have the buttery garlic rolls that came with my meal. Instead I was offered a slice of white bread. I must say the tilapia was very satisfying.
As far a customer service, I don’t even really want to comment because the girl taking my order was a young child. However, I will mention there was a woman behind the counter with a night scarf wrapped around her head. I thought that was very unprofessional. I wasn’t sure if she just rolled out of bed or was wearing that in place of a hair net.
As far as cleanliness, this isn’t a place to dine in.
The food at this restaurant is waaaay to good to have such poor service. With better kitchen and customer service management I’m sure this business will go further than the owner ever imagined. I wish them the best.

Love the food! But the customer service is HORRIBLE! They almost never answer the phone, but they answered it tonight and told me I had to be there by 9:30, but they close at 10!

If u go to Tasties use the Germantown location as appearance, service, and quality of food is vastly superior than the west philly location. I have tried several dishes from each location and i refuse to go to the West Philly location again

The food is good; however the customer service leaves a lot to be desired. This is not ran like a professional business. There is no uniformity the food is overpriced. In order for this business to last the owner needs to train the employees how to appreciate the people that are spending hard earned cash.

This place is the worst, the collard greens are disgusting .I literally had to wash them twice with the second time letting them soak, as they are saturated in some peppery sauce/​seasoning. The fish was ok. My daughter ordered the shrimp pasta Alfredo and everything just had way too much seasoning. The wait time was ridiculous to wait so long and still be dissatisfied.

I went here the other day I really liked the lemon pepper wings. All i had was that my girl had shrimp and mussel pasta which was good also mac and cheese was ok also. If you like lemon pepper wings go here bcuz they really really good…

Love their shrimp pasta! Everything on the menu is delicious! Definetly a good soul food spot in West Philly! They are also located up on Germantown Ave!

I really enjoy Tasties and most of the iteams they serve.
Food is alway hot and fresh. Portion size is great. I usually save the rest of my platter for lunch the next day. My favorite iteams are the Baked Turkey Wings, Shrimp Pasta Alfreado, Fried Chicken Wings, Greens, String Beans and Mac and Cheese. The greens are fantastic and so are the string beans. They have lots, and lots of flavor. The only thing I would suggest is that they put the Alfreado in a plastic container, because my sauce leaks out everytime in the styrafoam contatiners they have. Also, I would like to see more side options. Maybe cornbread? Fried Okra, baked beans? stuffing for the turkey wings?

Tasties? More like TASTELESS! Where is the taste in this «tasties» food? Everything from Tasties is oversized and tasteless. It’s like they are trying to get off by giving you an abundance of nothing. And then when you call to place your order they don’t have half of the food on the menu. So don’t be fooled by the large menu, it’s a scam like «Wake Up Now».

I went to tasties plenty of times and always order the same exact platter (fried chicken, mac n cheese, and candy yams) each time I go I be hopping they change this problem but they don’t which is that the fried chicken is HUGE and TASTELESS which defeats the purpose of getting soul food, the mac n cheese is disgusting and bland, the only ok thing was the candy yams but they are little to the too sweet side. Overall the atmosphere was pretty dark, not much room to sit and eat. It’s a pretty long wait for the food so I advise to call ahead.
The location is horrible, every time I go there its always some thugs hanging out the front which makes me nervous and I shouldn’t be nervous picking up my food. The people who take your order aren’t happy at all they always look dull and seems like they don’t want to be there which is very displeasing!
I wouldn’t try again any time soon because I’m afraid that they will disappoint me once more so ima sit this out til I think they food and thug problem is handled

No crowd inside, good food…52^nd st is hectic as always.. Step one order food, 2 wait about 20 mins.3^rd get you food and get off the duce…

I have eaten at this place a few times… tonight will be my last! The food is really the best soul food philly has that being said the business, customer service and the overall organization Is THEE WORSE!
Almost every time I have come into this business my order has been wrong or they are out of something & the young person taking orders at the front doesn’t even have the decency to let customers know!
Today I saw on their IG account they were having a delivery service so I called in at 5:45 pm guess what time I got my food…8:30pm!!! Mind u i live 10mins away! I called over a dozen times looking for my order the phone lines never worked, I got hungup on or was met with this NASTYYYYYY attitude! And my food was Luke warm! I’m done with tasties! When you can handle the demand of your customers… maybe I will be back. MAYBE.

Ordered from Tasties several times along with family and we’ve tried multiple items on the menu over time and overall everything has been great! Definitely my go to for a Friday night meal. Just wish it were in a better neighborhood but it’s definitely worth the trek.

I had fried Shrimp, Fish fried rice, side of Mac & cheese & lemon cake… Everything was slamming Call ahead the service is slow…

Good food. I only got sides from Tasties to complement my meal. They were all that. Very tasty and I was impressed. This was my second time going to the restuarant.
The first time wasn’t so good. I ordered a cheeseburger only for them to tell me it takes 45 minutes! What? A cheeseburger taking longer than a steak? No way. That really turned me off, but since they are right around the corner from me, I had to give them another try and they didn’t fail.
Went back again to tasties. I wanted some turkey chops so bad. Called and placed an order for my hubby and my daughter and when I asked for my turkey chops they were out! They were also out of Mac n cheese and greens. Like wut? They lost out in a $ 50 order because they didn’t have one thing on the menu.
This has happened MORE than once! Like how do you run out of staple menu items and it wasn’t even near closing time.
The food is good I will say but the customer service needs some work.
