Was User at The String Bean a mag?
I ordered delivery, getting the marinated chicken dinner, while my partner chose the fried steak dinner. Our food arrived within 30-40 minutes, which I thought was quite fast. It was absolutely delicious and still warm—the best home-cooked meal I've had in a long time. I will definitely order from here again when I don't feel like cooking! View all feedback.
What User dislikes about The String Bean:
Our food took a long time to arrive, especially since we had a large group. Half of us received our meals much earlier than the other half. My food was just warm when it finally came. While the food itself was tasty, the service was definitely slow. However, the waiter was attentive and did a great job. I believe they might have been short-staffed like many other places.

We visited the restaurant a year ago, and aside from the change in stalls, it seems like not much has changed since then. It feels like a blast from the past, both in positive and negative ways. The food is still excellent, and the service is quite good as well.
Awful service at lunch. Food has gone from blah to awful. Servers seem to be annoyed. Management way to Paranoid over Covid. Check their website. Their Covid novel takes up too much doace
I love this place when I want home-cooked food. Love the meatloaf, mashed potatoes, blackeyed peas, burgers, chicken sandwich, chili...you get the idea. Very friendly place. Don't forget dessert.
Not a place for people of color for multiple reasons. First off we walked in and there was not a person in the restaurant that were people of color like us, we were the only ones in a restaurant full of people. The food I had was bland and greasy and it came with hair. The cups had mold on them or some type of dark spots in the creases of the glasses. We ordered appetizers and never received them. When we asked our waiter for them he responded with oh you're hungry ok y'all want your food I'll go get it and commences to head to the back. When the manager dropped our meals off we let her know that we actually were wanting our appetizers before our meal but since the food was brought just forget the appetizers. She ended up bringing them to us anyway for free and apologizing for the miss. While we started to eat an ant crawled across the table. Once I found the hair on my mushroom I was done and just wanted to leave! We truly tried to give this place a chance and were extremely disappointed! That disappointment turned to anger when both my son and I got to the car and found ants crawling on us!! I do not recommend this place at all even though we tipped the waiter $12 on a $28 dollar bill (they took my hairy meal off the bill) we just wanted to make sure that they didn't look at the color of our skin and assume we were trying to get a free meal. We had money and every intention to pay for a complete meal, unfortunately that's not what we got! It was Mothers Day that we went and I'm still bothered, so I'm leaving a review to hopefully help others avoid the mistake we made!!
