Daym is the most honest food reviewer because he has such an expressive face. When he tastes the food, his face can’t tell a lie. His manner of speaking is so unique and entertaining. Love these reviews!
rob is the biggest clown to comment because hes such an idiot. love this clown
Fair and honest food review as always. The yams are probably missing the vanilla extract and the fried chicken looks like frozen party chicken in a bag, and I can always spot canned collard greens
Brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, allspice for the sweet potato. I never put vanilla extract in it.
Lol I was about to say those look like glory greens
fekishaaaa calm tf down
I'd love to try your food!
hell yea lol them greens are Glory canned greens
Swapping from a food truck to a brick and mortar always has a few road bumps. I get the feeling that the owner is probably super busy with all the paperwork that goes in to starting up something like this and the people he hired to cook haven't quite got the pattern down yet. I'm hoping in future that the owner gets more involved with the actual cooking once the nightmare of paperwork is over, and can properly train up his staff to perform to his level.
Your comment is spot on.
Most likely the owner is the one cooking and preparing the food. Which is why the wait is long, certain food items are rushed, the lack of drinks and other items on the menu. Most food truck operators that start up a small resturant do most of the cooking as well as everything else. They cant afford to hire quality sous chefs in the beginning. Most places have family members and friends work in the resturant.
The oldest google review from this place is 3 years. This is what you call overrated food. It's also 20-30$ per meal. They're also opened for 4 hours a day. The owner/s probably has a lot of friends and well liked in his neighborhood. Given the 22 reviews they have. Most of the google reviews are probably bias. Happens more often than you realize
I could see the disappointment in your eyes when you took a bite of the chicken lol, now imagine if one waited an hr for those lol.
The chicken part needs to be a short... When you said I shoulda got the fish, i busted out laughing.
Soul Food without Cornbread? Daym really knows whats up.
Hey Daym, just wanted to say I really appreciated you taking time out of your day to talk to me and take a picture today! Super cool running into you. Hope all is well, great review as always.
i agree, those yams were probably missing vanilla or butter, or both. thanks for the honest review
Grand opening Grand closing 😂
Love your videos love honesty you háve in reviews ❤😊
I live in the south and a lot of places down here will give you packets of vinegar for your greens instead of cooking the greens in adding it in the pot
One thing for certain and two things for sure, Daym is ALWAYS going to give his honest opinion regarding the food he reviews. That in and of itself deserves ALL of my respect! 👍🏾👏🏾👌🏾
Peach tea in the whip. Cornbread did the Slip. Here I sit watching eating these DOLLA store chips…
I love your food reviews Daym
I love how you do the type while you give a review lol! Am I weird for loving this? I was just telling my son about it lol!
What’s your @ Natasha?
Big love and respect from Italy, love your videos man, u look like a genuine good person ❤️
Another great review Daym. Candied Yams were probably missing alot of spices along with vanilla, salt and butter. Those wings probably were pre frozen and no seasoning and I could tell there was no seasoning in the mac n cheese.
Once my son hipped me to eating my greens with dressing instead of cornbread, I don't even want greens without dressing anymore. I'll settle for cornbread if I just don't feel like making the dressing, but there ain't nothing like it!
I saw it on NJ12 news. You know it's real when NJ showing CT some love.
Drumstick BBQ is 🔥🔥🔥 It was my goto when I lived in Stamford/Fairfield and coached hoops in the FCIAC
I get the difference, but there's something more satisfying watching a bad reviewed restaurant video getting shown to be good or bad, rather than a perfect reviewed spot. Aye we all use different side of our brain.
Love your content Daym :)
Daym drops always with a banger!!
Little car tip for you push button ppl: you don’t have to turn the vehicle completely on to put the windows down, just press the button twice without your foot on the brake and you should be able to
Yes captain 👨✈️ obvious
@@arnisbole7821 okay princess some people don’t know that as you can see 🤦🏾♂️😭
@@kllaskullz yes captain 👨✈️ obvious just stating the obvious
Daym you are always honest in your reviews
Great critique Daym Drops. Very fair, honest and helpful. Guarantee when they fine tune their formula, you'll have to start getting a reservation.
The best food in the world is the food you cook at home.
Facts my Mac the truth I perfected it chicken broth and water salt real onion pieces and garlic oil in water..1 or 2 eggs sometimes, garlic,onion,salt, pepper, paprika on top butter that's it..Bridgeport my home town we got some slamming food spots between towns 15-20min. Drive to everyside of town so mad..and tons of aunties and grandma's still around my mama got me right
@@greatestchamp4351 can i try some
@@nightd9rk yeah cook it 350 in oven 20-25mins let me know how it comes out
Ok bro, I love almost all your reviews but like you say we have to keep it 💯! It's not greens juice, it's pot liquor. Lmaooooo 😁 😁 😁 😁
Yes, that's what my granny called it
I love a detailed review. Those are the reviews I read and I'm not talking about the usual endless ramblings about "they didn't give me ketchup".
7:14 ayyyy thanks for the shoutout daym 😤
I get to work before anyone else and every single day before I turn on the radio I say "QUE THE MUUUSSSSIC!!"
You should go hit the Parkville market in Hartford and try each of the different cuisines
Flavoring concerning yams is highly subjective. Some people like and prepare their yams to be candied and taste like a desert. Just hella sweet. Some prefer their sweet potatoes( ie yams) to be yes yam like and not be overly sweet but have more cinnamon and nutmeg . And some like their yams the taste of both combined. Just enough sweetness and just enough seasoning. But with no marshmallows.
Straight up honest man!!!
You bring the truest reviews so I believe you
That is some good looking food, those other reviews sounded like a restaurant that wasn’t prepared for that much hype
Shame about that chicken hopefully they can improve the things they missed
I feel like I’m always coming for Bridgeport, it’s not the case I promise. But that’s just not a foodie town as far as Connecticut goes. They have some hidden gems, but nothing that a person would go out of their way for. Yes, I’m from New Haven, so I might seemed biased but the food scene here is better and I attribute a lot of that because of the Yale traffic. But I would much rather have Jamaican food from Yard Jerk than any Jamaican restaurant in the New Haven area. If you’re in Stamford, and you want some soul food, I recommend Soul tasty. Service is always good, nice variety, and worth the commute if you live further along in the 203 or 860
Love It Daym Drops Bro
That food looks amazing!😋🤤
Party wings throwing me off to be a soul food restaurant , maybe it’s the Chicago in me
Why am I excited watching you be happy about them greens? 😂
Daym, you're a true horsefighter!!❤
I definitely gotta try that daym frfr
I know it's hard to tell without tasting it, but I suspect those yams were missing salt. Salt is a flavor enhancer, even in dishes most would think of as sweet. Also, I wonder if they would consider doing hot water cornbread?
Yams n cheese combo 🔥
Looks great
You should try Soul Bowl in Hartford! Also RicoChow in New London
I wouldnt be too hard on them because they just opened up and need to get adjusted. But I think Daym was fair in this video...if not more than fair.
_Why more than fair have your ever had them?🤔_
Its cool that the person at 6:00 was interested in the car, and then recognized Daym
remember to keep extra napkins in the glove box, bring you some salt/pepper packets with you. like in this instance you know what looks like sweet potatoes pudding needs a little nut meg/cinnamon and butter to taste i’d go to your local grocery store for some shorty shaker or get the actual nut 🌰 simply dust some up put back in the container 🫙 it should have a nut meg rasp on them out side rub it till you what makes you happy open lid add it stir the food taste [can always add but not take away] put the nut meg back in the house as my moms calls it good to go next time. yams should not have for me a sweet potato taste you should taste the love cinnamon/nut meg n butter go by your WENDYS macdonald’s ask for salt/pepper packets with your order save build up a supply now you got travel goods. save the knife/fork in the plastic to my. i’m has bin full has em for work
My favorite CZcamsr love you daym
That “wet work” 😂 🔥
Try the Big New Yorker 🍕 from Pizza Hut!
daym u needa take a trip to chicago and try hungry mamas i hear they r killing the soulfood game over there
I always love the look of disappointment daym cuz I be making that exact same face 🫤
Daym you gotta check out “Soul Tasty” in Stamford CT

Great video

Hey Daym, Good Stuffs
This looks GEWWD
I’ve never been this early ! CZcams finally stopped bsin .. Happy Monday
It's the marshmallows that killed the yams.. That Mac n cheese need some sharp cheddar cheese in it. Dry looking wings
We only fry chicken like that when we bout to put it in gumbo 😂😂😂😂
Yesss dame yams n mac gdt
Back to da Port I see 💪🏿
Daym lil fork dance is hilarious
Not really.
I know when those eyebrows start liftin it’s gonna be a in depth review🤣.
A gangsta ball of Mac & cheese 😆
I love cornbread when I make cornbread I put cheddar cheese and bacon into my cornbread and I tell ya it's so good.
Love me some Soul Food! 👍👍👍
So happy right now
Come to the south for southern soul food from Georgia to Texas we all have something 🎉for y’all
Classic case of don’t believe tha hype
Chicken so bad…..it made Daym put his plate down!! It’s a sad day in America.
Always remember to continue to be yourself, do not change.
Daym if they are going to have Greens they definitely need to have cornbread.
bro i dig ur reviews bro😎
That’s why we love daym cuz he don’t stunt on chicken
That chicken look hella dry bruh.
BLEEP the way DAYMN describing that CORN BREAD at 15:28 my BLEEP do I have me a mad mad craving for some good Corn Bread or some Hush Puppies right now. Might have to bust out the Air Fryer and do some Hush Puppies man...MMM HUSH PUPPIES. But a Soul Food spot without Corn Bread, Without Lemonade or Sweet Tea, AND messing up the fry fry on the Fried Chicken?!?! Honestly 3 stars is very generous. Those greens must have really been slappin.
LOL, what the heck was that ending...? XD
I really like the pull on that mac in cheese. dont seem too cheesy
I hope they actually read your review and fix the issues in my opinion those can be easily fixed with more time and focus on making priorities like the food being a top priority.
Great video ! I hope they get it together fast! Mexican and Asians business flourishing but my people please I want to support you but your here today gone tomorrow!
Look like somebody physically abused that poor lil drumstick. Poor thang.
😂😂😂😂
Lmao someone's vegan
🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
The constipation plate for those with digestive problems. Love the combo though.
Nice video well share this to my Facebook friends
U need to do a food review in Memphis
I knew that chicken was dry from the sound of the bite. The yams are missing nutmeg and butter loving. Mac and cheese needs the brown bits we're accustomed to. You must go back and review the fish.
The Mac and cheese fry af I can tell from here !
DAYM DROPS I LOVE SPICY BBQ FRIED CHICKEN AND MAC AND CHEESE AND SWEET MASHED POTATOES WITH MARSHMALLOW AND ROOTBEER TOO MY FRIEND
I like how you asked if we wanted to see the BEST Reviewed restaurants when you probably already had this video ready to go lol
This Review Got It 😂😂😂😂😂
The collard greens looked good, the mac looked okay too. The chicken, I had little faith in just based on looks. Glad to see my hunch was right. Now them yams, it's hard to tell by looks alone, but Daym saying they were missing something, I believe it. Cinnamon, nutmeg and a little brown sugar, for me, I hit it with a bit of cayenne pepper, just a little to give it that kick. I grew up in the South and the fact they didn't have cornbread is a tragedy.
interesting, Cayenne Pepper, I like that idea. I love me some yams, but I've never had them with cayenne pepper. I really don't like Marshmallow on my yams though. As for the Mac and cheese, it looked like it was kinda flavorless to be honest. Everybody makes their different and mac and cheese has always been one of my favorite foods so I personally probably wouldn't have complained too much about it.
@@jabarwright4333 Cayenne Pepper is a game changer. It adds this super subtle warmth to the dish and enhances the flavours of the cinnamon and nutmeg while bringing out the light sweetness of the yam. Trust me on this one, it's amazing. And I don't really like marshmallows on my yams either, if I'm feeling frisky I will chop up some pecans but never marshmallows. And yeah everyone makes mac differently which I think why it is either hit or miss. Some like their mac a little dry others like it wet. As long as it is cheesy and seasoned well, salt, pepper, made with some chicken stock to add flavour to the base. I'm happy with any mac and cheese.
TyDD!
That sucks should of went to the merritt canteen to make it up with some chili dogs n cheese burgers n fries..I been waiting for you to do that anyways or some real Italian pizza spots or one of the famous Jamaican spots
