The Five Spot on Myrtle and Washington

anonymous

Has anyone ever been there? Its really disgusting. They have friends that greet you while your eating (ROACHES ON THE TABLES) :shock: and when you tell the owner Malik he acts like there's something wrong with you. I walked out and he said that he was going to make the poor under paid waitress pay for the meal. I don't know about anyone else but I like my food roach free.

I've never eaten there (and now don't plan on it), but the parties can be kinda fun...

I don't know this place from a hole in the wall

but if you are going to bash a place like this you should at least have the spine to sign your name, guest.

otherwise who knows what axe you have to grind.

Well I have my reasons for not formally joining this board so weather or not I have a spine or not is irrelevant. If you want to eat there then go right ahead, I don't care I was just looking out for others. Maybe you will enjoy the roaches.

FYI - They have been closed due to health problems.

Subject: I like that place.

I've been there a lot. I've watched them make the food. I've never seen roaches or scary cleanliness issues. I think their food is pretty good.

If you like the cuisine but don't like the restaurant, I recommend Maggie Brown's. Its a little more expensive, but also better food. Its one or two blocks west of 5 spot on Myrtle.
