Review content:
I tried Powell's Place based on the hype and good reviews here, but now I feel really misled. I'm a soul food expert and sadly the truth is that I've had better fried chicken in all the fast food places in S.F. On a weekday (lunchtime), the place was almost empty. The fried chicken was barely warm, blandly seasoned (maybe just lightly salted), not juicy but slightly dry, and the crust was very thin, not crispy at all and even slightly rubbery. The collard greens were OK - not too salty, but they didn't have the slight smoky flavor that I am used to. The mac n' cheese was 'homestyle' which I prefer, not the cheap 'processed cheese' version you might get in other places. The corn muffins were slightly sweet the way I like, but they were way too small, and kind of chewy - definitely missing the 'crunchy top' that another reviewer said they would have. Strangely, they were 'finger burning hot' - like they were reheated too long in a microwave. The only thing that made them worth eating was the pats of butter that they came with, plus we were all still hungry from the small portions of food that we were given. I had a chance to sample the oxtails which I liked better than my chicken. They were well-seasoned, had a nice gravy and were 'fall off the bone' tender. All in all though, I would not recommend Powell's Place because I did not get my money's worth. I don't mind paying extra money if the food is worth it, but I don't like leaving a place feeling like I've been ripped off. To its credit, Powell's Place does have good customer service, friendly and competent wait-staff, and a nice atmosphere. When you are there you do get a strong sense of its history and community pride, but the bottom line is that a restaurant is supposed to be about the food. Powell's Place will have to step up to compete with places offering a better value if they want to regain former customers or attract new ones.
Pros: The atmosphere and customer service
Cons: Small portions, not very good value for the price
