Plate Pleasures Eatery

This was my first experience here, Sunday, March 27th. I will say staff was friendly & helpful. I ordered the 2 piece catfish w/ yams, mac, dressing, & green beans. The fish was cooked to perfection and extremely tasty! The dressing was a bit too moist which made it overly mushy but still good. The green beans did have smoked turkey which I didn’t eat but it could’ve used a nice pinch of salt. My friend who ate the smoked turkey out of my green beans complained it was EXTREMELY DRY. Lastly, my least 2 favorites were the Mac & yams. I mean no disrespect but the Mac & cheese was so bland I couldn’t eat it. I’m not sure if someone different made that batch of Mac but it was absolutely terrible. As far as the yam, they weren’t terrible but I couldn’t eat them either. They were a bit bitter with an odd taste. I’m not trying to bash this restaurant but there are just a few things that could be improved for a better experience.

Spotlessly clean with decent sized portions as well as courteous and efficient staff. Unfortunately, the seasoning was lacking, the only stand out flavors being sweet and salty. The cornbread dressing was so salty it had no other flavor. The roast chicken was very dry though the fried pork chop was cooked perfectly. Would like staff to erase items from the dry erase board as they run out, otherwise why have that board and not just the paper menu?

Best food I’ve had in the Midwest. I’ve never tasted better yams. We’ll be back!
