I leave a good review after the first time and then, after the second time I usually regret it. That said, I 've been to Bone Apple Tea a couple of times. Usually on the weekend. Both times I went there, the food was hot and the food was pretty good. I had the Bayou Pasta on one trip and the 4 Piece Fried Chicken Dinner w/sides of Potato Salad and Collard Greens and the Pineapple Lemonade and a Watermelon Lemonade on another trip. When I went, the food was hot and freshly prepared, which I like. I don 't like food that has CLEARLY not been made fresh and is not hot when it is delivered to me. I had to wait a little while. But if the end result is fresh food brought to me hot, I can tolerate that. The Bayou Pasta was very good. It was hot and spicy. So, if you like Louisiana style gumbo (this was not gumbo) with it 's spicy taste and mix of shrimp, crawfish, sausage, etc., this was pretty good. The only thing I didn 't like is the container it came in. I 'd rather have a disposable bowl-like container instead of a styrofoam, compartmentalized container because the liquid from that container overflowed and ran into the plastic bag when the bag was tilted as I carried it. This type of mix needs a cup-like/bowl-like container with a lid to keep liquid from escaping if the container is tilted slightly or not-so-slightly. Other than that, it was good. The fried chicken dinner was also good. Hot and not saturated with grease. That means it was cooked at the right temperature. A lost art in the fried chicken world. I wish the pieces were a little bigger. They gave me a leg, wing, breast, and thigh. But taste-wise, it was good. The potato salad was ok too. I could tell it was fresh. The only food item I had a problem with was the collard greens. They were too salty and greasy for me. The pineapple lemonade and watermelon lemonade were ok. I didn 't detect that real lemon and pineapple and watermelon were used in them. As I said, the food was hot and pretty good when I went the few times I did. I hope they continue to have this type of quality so they can be successful. They 'll probably need a bigger staff to get orders out faster, but it looks like a small, family operation that will probably stay that way. My advice ... Get better on the customer service side of the business. Continue cranking out fresh, hot food even if it causes a bit of a wait. Put less salt and grease type seasoning in the greens. Maybe make some salt packs available for those who like their greens salty. Make the lemonade using REAL lemons and REAL pineapple juice and REAL watermelon juice. You do that, you 'll need to hire more people because you 'll probably get more business than you can handle right now.
