To sum it up they tried to comp with peach cobbler(I don't even eat) but we took it home to my dad because it his favorite and after one bite he said "no, this is not good". The gentleman said he could go to the back and put on the missing items but I kindly said that's ok and sent it back. So after about 10 minutes because it was now 3pm another person brought my mom's wings(huge probally full of antibiotics) and waffle(small, cold, with cold syrup, she said was not that good) and my mac and cheese and salad(but the salad was not the salad they had on the menu). At 2:50 ish a gentleman brought my mom's food and asked what I ordered, I told him and that he could leave my mom's food but he said he could not bring 1 person order. My mom ordered the chicken and waffles $15. I ordered the $6.50 mac and cheese, with the $8 House Salad. We were called at 2:25pm and then the lady told us she only had bar seats available(we accepted). As we waited for our food and people watched we noticed so much unused space. Once entering at 1:15 the wait was 45 min to 1 hr (we put our names on the list and waited). We live far North of Houston and drove to this Southwest location to try the food. Today Saturday March 18/2017 My mom and I went to Sweet Times by Sweetie Pies after reading the reviews to try it for ourselves. BTW, please do something about the greasy restaurant floors, it's a lawsuit waiting to happen. My guess is maybe the restaurant was rushed to open so once it get's up and running they'll start using those areas, not sure if they're going to have a bar or not but oh well. Another waste of space and a loss for revenue. We waited in the bar area that has about 8 - 10 tables that truthfully should be used for eating and not as a waiting area plus the outside dining area was closed off. This family has been it the business for a while but it's not reflected in this new venture. Sweet Times, PLEASE get it together!! I know the restaurant is new but YOU'RE not new. Décor is a bit of a joke, very homemade & DIY'ish. It's mainly R&B, nothing offensive but we could barely hear ourselves talk. Hopefully it doesn't fall on deaf ears which leads me to the music. It really isn't how we do soul food in Texas. I heard one of the servers tell a customer they've addressed the overly sweet food to management & owners. I think the place can make it but changes may need to be in order. It's touted as "Mississippi Style", guess it's too sweet for my Texas palate. I truly wanted to love this place and the food but it's not the type of soul food I'm used to. Both the fish plates were beyond salty but the oxtails and smothered chicken were ok. WTF man!! I've been southern all my life and have never encountered sweet black eyed peas. Collard greens - SUGAR, cabbage - SUGAR, green beans - SUGAR, black eyed peas.yes I said black eyed peas - SUGAR. Just about EVERYTHING on the menu has sugar in it including the veggies. Food came out in a reasonable time but we were so let down. We ordered oxtails, black eyed peas, fried fish, mac & cheese, blackend catfish, cabbage, garlic mashed potatoes, smothered chicken & green beans. Our server Jackira was beyond AWESOME! Very welcoming and professional. Right, more like a 50 min wait.Restaurant was full but not crowded, there were a few empty tables so we couldn't figure why the long wait.You read right, they have table service here, no cafeteria hot line at Sweet Times. We were greeted and told it would be a 30 min wait. Went for my birthday hoping for a treat, was sooooo disappointed. If the food only was as good as it looked on the pictures and price matched its real worth we left alot of food on the table and took some home but trash it went. greens too much spice had to drink water to eat them. They wont last long treating customers like this. This was a waste of time and money for these prices we could have went to a better place with great food. The manager did take off 65 DOLLARS but it should have been more since we waited so long and then food was hard like what the world maybe the location on tv will be better since they are in the spot light maybe we will try that one. ok well after others came in and sat down ordered ate and left why are we still hear with no food. we asked waitress the excuse we are cooking fresh chicken. WE went to this location to try it out because We had head so much about it well it was empty when we arrived staff standing around so we sit down and order prices are high but no complaints at first then we sat there and sat there no food.
