I think y’all missed the whole point of Keith’s reviews. Everyone knows that celebrities get preferential treatment no matter where they go. The point of Keith’s review is to get a POV from a regular customer who is just going in. He wants us to see how they treat their everyday customers. If these restaurants are trying to be only exclusive to celebrities or reality stars, then they should have that disclaimer on their website or plastered in the front of their restaurant. Otherwise, there is no excuse for the mistreatment and we as people of color have to do better about customer service all around if we want to stay successful.
Right? I think they're all in their celeb bubble since Joe's a celeb, same with mel...so by proximity they get some preferential treatment, especially now they're visible from the pod.
It’s kind of annoying hearing people talk about Keith Lee who didn’t know who he was before his Atlanta trip because they have no idea what his entire premise is. Which is to shed light on businesses who deserve the look. My man is out here single handedly saving restaurants from having to close their doors. From a single 2 minute post on social media
I think it goes both ways. A review from Keith might save your restaurant. A bad review from Keith might destroy your restaurant and result in threats against your life. He has power.
@@thepoorblackmanhe does but he never asks or promotes anyone to attack any restaurant. He gives his own opinion on service/food. He sheds a light on the numerous people that had the same criticism of those businesses that don’t have the audience that he does. That’s a blessing
those restaurants are wack af. The Real Milk & Honey's response was cringe. I'm honestly surprised/amazed any of those ATL spots are still in business w/ those terrible rules, and horrible customer service. Restaurants here in the Bay area have closed down for less. Keith was just keeping it real.
Thats what the people there want though, there is alot of black old money in those areas, and they want that bougie, pretentious stuff because of course black people model luxury off of white experience, which is strange but yea, that culture of preference and special treatment is baked in over there, everyone wants to be a celebrity and be seen, which leads to alot of people doing too fuckin much
I have a difficult time when people discuss topics on the surface level and not know the entirety. He changes businesses lives overnight. He says more good things than bad. The spots are not random. It’s usually places that need love but don’t know how to get their name out despite being great food. Keith got more pull than most celebrities. He spoke highly of tons of Atlanta restaurants.
Your review of Keith Lee is missing the facts. The fact of the matter is alot of the restaurant owners invited Keith Lee to their establishment for a review. This is a very important piece that you've missed in discussing the Keith Lee situation. If the devils in the details you can't ignore the details.
@@kevinstewart8054 it's important because some of the restaurants trying to frame it like KL just randomly stopping by, and not that they "begged" him to come to review their joint. So they can't get mad if they begged him, knowing that he tells them upfront I'mma give an honest review, he gives said review, and it isn't glowing. Like RM&H calling him autistic, and that one vid playing like they don't know who he is, despite ASKING him to go review their joint.
@kevinstewart8054 It's important because in the 2 places that he had negative experience were recommended Real Milk and Honey or he was asked by ownership Kandi Buress and OLG.
@@thecunninlynguistExactly. Just like Kandi was at BravoCon saying that BS and throwing her employees under the bus. It's not like she didn't know about the issues years ago, because people here had bern saying the same things about OLG. I had a negative experience in 2019 and hadn't gone back since. Poor customer service and with overpriced mid a$$ soul food. She's had years to address the customer service culture and didn't.
Keith Lee didn’t do anything wrong in Atlanta even native Atlantans complain about the same things he pointed out. All he did was expose the culture on a larger scale and gave exposure to restaurants that deserved it.
I hate when they give ignorant criticism. This is why it’s hard to get behind some black owned businesses - terrible customer service or overpriced. Meanwhile the some of the counterparts offer great service and food. Level up community, let’s stop being mediocre.
and then when they got bad reviews. one owner tried to call him autistic. SMH and the other one acted like he didnt know who keith lee was after that review....ol boujee asses..cant stand boujee black folks.
As a chef for well over 20 years and in the business for longer,, let me just say this ,,, most restaurants suck,, period ,,, no matter what style of food ,,on whatever level,,, from whatever culture,,, most people really have no idea wtf they're doing
this is wrong. ive been a chef for 18 years, and depending on the food, people really do know their shit. asian kitchens as an example have people that cooked that food their entire life. im sure they know what theyre doing
As someone who was in the food industry for 15 years. Bad customer service can curve your appetite... especially in the South.. some restaurants don't take orders over the phone because half the time, people dont show up. Shit happens like that, unfortunately...
ever since the incident went viral, and i started reading more about restaurants there, I had read about that too. It's like a chicken/egg situation...but I do think the restaurants, if they truly wanna be in the biz gotta shape up, then maybe customers wouldn't pull that kinda stuff.
@@natilyfe i was wondering about that, cause I know some pizza places around here do, but some of the bigger chain restaurants, don't take CC. They'd take my phone number, but what's preventing me/customer giving a fake number.
Keith Lee has given his honest opinion on all the food he's tried. He'll also give his honest opinion on anyone who tries him. Dude is a skilled fighter. I wish someone would press him for or because of a review.
It’s not shitting on a business that provides one of the biggest services such as feeding people if someone is giving their opinion and criticism respectfully . Restaurants be on BS front of the house and back of the house it’s always room to become better. Sometimes all you have is 1 time
Nah, that's definitely not the case. Most of the people here was on Keith's side as far his critique on OLG and RM&H. OLG has been trash since they have been open, his complaints were what people here have bern saying for a minute.
@@nykia26 That those of us from Atlanta don't understand, honesty. Because the fact of the matter, its way more of us here agreed wholeheartedly with what Keith said because weve had similar experiences at both of those establishments. The thing is neither of them, actually listened to the regular patrons to address those issues, until they were put on blast by Keith.
Keith Lee just out here doing God’s work man. He’s never mean or malicious with his reviews and even if he himself had bad experience he still recommends people check out the place.
I think many of these celebs are missing the point. Keith Lee is aware that he is a celeb. He is doing reviews for the average person and speaking on an authentic experience. I don’t want a review from a celeb…we are all aware companies are stupid enough to treat you better, even though most of these celebs never give them shoutouts.
You guys should edit Melyssa saying "Milk and Honey" before you guys get sued. She should've said "The Real Milk and Honey". Two different restaurants.
keith one of the coolest roles in food culture and he is very aware. He knows his word is his value and so he keeps that very strict with how he operates. If he was to not be 100% honest he would lose all credibility and fall off.
Keith Lee did his job. Why be mad at him? Those restaurants need to do better 🤷🏽♀️ He’s not on a ego trip he’s not bias. He’s always fair, respectful & humble.
I'm big on customer service. Even if the food is excellent, if I felt disrespected by a waiter, hostess, or whomever works there, I will not go back. I have done it before and will do it again.
Keith Lee out here in Vegas, and every restaurant out here has the ability to do takeout & dine-in. Bro has changed way to many lives in a Yr to talk dirty on his name
yall missed the point. hes not eating their for his own review- its supposed to be so normal people can know what to expect when they want to find poppin spots in different cities. the following isnt there so that they can see him get treatment they would never get(while this is its own thing) most people want to find the spots where they get good bang for their buck
yea they are missing the point. the majority of people spending money in these restaurants are REGULAR people. The REGULAR people are keeping these businesses open. not celebrities that come once in a blue moon.
Atlanta ppl on the internet typing up think pieces and saying they would fight Keith Lee if he ever gave them a bad review... not knowing he was pro MMA fighter😂.
Atlanta customer service as a whole sucks!!!!!! The businesses here only care about money... Once they have money and a lil reputation.... They say F the customers.
Keith Lee has a brother who just recently retired from the UFC named Kevin Motown Lee. If someone touches Keith Lee, lord help that person. Because if Kevin Lee gets his hands on you. He might flat-line you with a head luck.
For real! It sucks how sensitive Black people are when it comes to criticism! Like you can not have a long term successful business with bad customer service! I was in the service industry for over a decade, and if I got bad service, bad vibes, attitudes, I’m walking out! I don’t want to be there. I know how cooks and staff can get down in the back! I’ve seen some messed up stuff in the BOH. I’m good.
Seems like only one of these dudes even watched the Keith Lee video, so many people talking about this and don't even watch his take and see why he felt the way he did. As well he went several other Atlanta restaurants and gave glowing reviews.
For the life of me I don't understood why celebrities and podcasters want to speak on this Keith Lee subject so bad and be 100% uninformed. Damn near no one speaking on this from Ochocinco to Ish has done their homework on this topic and speaking from how they feel businesses should get the benefit of the doubt. Keith Lee said that the establishments have made their rules and their rules are their rules and he has no quarrels over that. The issue is when the rule states that the establishment closes at 5 and you call at 4 you're now being told it is closed and then you go in and see people are seated being served. I wonder how many other topics they spoke on without actually getting all the info down.
thats honestly what i expect from joe and his bootlickers dude is a disrupter of anything good look at slaughterhouse hes all "im not releasing music till we are off shady" gets off shady now Joe: "im retiring from music"
Im disappointed in the point of views of the panel. Customers pay for the entire experience not just food. Our people need to work on their customer service skills.
Mad respect to Keith. Big ups 👍🏼💞 Asking for fair treatment for all patrons, a great customer experience, and quality food. Why is this an issue? Seriously 🤷🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Y’all sad talking about support black business, Lightskin brought up classic Harlem black restaurants and y’all shitted on him bc it’s not popular to go anymore … how is that support ? Smfh I really can’t stand my kind sometimes.
One thing people are missing is the fact that it’s 2 restaurants named milk and honey and the real milk and honey. People were review bombing the wrong spot and when they reached out he didn’t clarify it and it escalated
Crazy part is the general public should've known beforehand that the Real Milk & Honey was pretentious af. They named themselves "The Real..." Ban them, L Restaurant. Their response was wack af. And it was evident that they were behind the curve.
It’s a common of problems In Atlanta restaurant business. You got out of towners owners that came here to just exploit the culture of Atlanta. Or even literally don’t know how to run a business. They just have money and felt like they can run business crappy business model in Atlanta . After Covid a lot of true Atlanta, food spots couldn’t make it. A lot of these new spots are doing a lot of trial and run. Some care and some dgaf. So owners are very capitalistic and some run very in tuned to the community business models. Some are hiring experience and some are hiring no experience to save money. Remember Georgia is a fire at will state. Hints why a lot of restaurants don’t know how to listen to experienced employees. Hence the drastic differences in customer service out here. Location has a big part of reasoning of no deliveries. Some of these places lost a lot of money, trying to do pick up orders and deal with lines out the door at the same time. Now your losing money with re fire orders or running out of food. I’m sorry but a lot of people In Atlanta with order 100 family meals now the people physically there are waiting hours. It’s 1 million variables. Some of these places are small and just starting. And one TikToker will post this place and all of a sudden people at flooded your store. Hell even physical traffic around the establishment. Now I know it sounds like I’m siding with these restaurants. Now I will tell you I love the fact y’all are targeting these restaurants because they terrible Ways definitely needs to be called out. The city of Atlanta makes money off of tourist attractions. And these restaurants, slick, help rotate money in the city. Like the strip clubs and clubs. so the city of Atlanta turns its head sometimes. But the people complain to TikTokers, and not actual agencies that come down on these businesses. there are many agencies to complain to about these restaurants, but the huge problem is a lot of people don’t even know about these resources. Knowledge is power. Not all owners in Atlanta are from Atlanta some also Just are doing just enough to get a dollar. A lot of the owners are copying each other’s business model and hoping and praying nobody sees the BS. And that can span between how they treat their workers or even customers. If you notice in Atlanta, a lot of people that are owners are doing the small shops restaurants to have cheap rent. But the main problem is them getting greedy when they have growth and not moving to a bigger location. and then there are some that are just putting a bunch of little locations everywhere. Atlanta customers are filled with the world . These customers also does a lot of scamming in fraud to these restaurants as well. Hence some places cash only or tap only. Some restaurants are tired of being scammed. Some restaurants are just doing a lot of caution to not be scammed. This is a non union state. I’m sorry but Georgia is set up to give owners a lot of power in laws so . This state is getting over on people not knowing the resources to hold them accountable. So saying that that’s why Atlanta turns it’s head because everyone is pissed but not doing anything about it. The best check mate in 2023 today is social media. And owner has to get ahead of bad PR😂 I love owners getting held accountable. Some are very genuine, but they are overshadowed by the terrible new owners in the city. It’s a catch 22 in the restaurant business in Atlanta. I watched Atlanta show it’s ass after Covid. The best spots In Atlanta are known by all the people that has lived there 10years plus. Everyone else slick still touring . I moved to Atlanta from palm beach Florida in 05. This is the worst behavior Atlanta has been on. Covid make Atlanta sick in many ways😂 and we still had to got to work in Georgia. They called restaurants essential over here😂 slave model. Property I mean workers can’t get sick down here or your killed I mean fired. Atlanta might be democratic, but the owners in Atlanta are definitely fiscal Republicans. Read the room. They cutting corners 😂 now Keith on they ass😂

And they stole the restaurant name. Milk & Honey been in Atlanta for a while and they came along and named theirs "The Real" Milk & Honey.

As a food reviewer he has to be objective. The purpose is to give the average consumer the real experience.
Gordon Ramsay has said worse and done worse on TV at his restaurant (but gets praised). This really is colorism to be completely honest.
@SignedLove. True. Instead of restaurants stepping up their service or taking constructive criticism they make excuses.

They don’t value the black mecca
I love at 7:05 minute mark when Joe Budden found out Keith Lee was like that LOL. Joe got shook. Energy changed real quick!
😂😂😂 this was good.
Sylvia’s catching a stray while y’all slandering Amy Ruth’s is hilarious so me as a native harlem new yorker 😂
Y’all clearly missed the point again
5:51 - 6:07 Yall pampered
One thing people are missing is the fact that it’s 2 restaurants named milk and honey and the real milk and honey. People were review bombing the wrong spot and when they reached out he didn’t clarify it and it escalated
It’s been clarified now.
Crazy part is the general public should've known beforehand that the Real Milk & Honey was pretentious af. They named themselves "The Real..." Ban them, L Restaurant. Their response was wack af. And it was evident that they were behind the curve.
Lamb chops and karate chops, that’s a show
Joe - guess what. He just arrived to NYC today! Lolllll. REVIEW ON THE WAYYYYYY
Y’all acting to far removed and missing the point.
The brother in the burgundy sweater and the lady are the only two rational people on this panel. Joe acting like he p diddy
Lamb chops n karate chops 😂😂😂😂😂😊
It’s a common of problems In Atlanta restaurant business. You got out of towners owners that came here to just exploit the culture of Atlanta. Or even literally don’t know how to run a business. They just have money and felt like they can run business crappy business model in Atlanta . After Covid a lot of true Atlanta, food spots couldn’t make it. A lot of these new spots are doing a lot of trial and run. Some care and some dgaf. So owners are very capitalistic and some run very in tuned to the community business models. Some are hiring experience and some are hiring no experience to save money. Remember Georgia is a fire at will state. Hints why a lot of restaurants don’t know how to listen to experienced employees. Hence the drastic differences in customer service out here. Location has a big part of reasoning of no deliveries. Some of these places lost a lot of money, trying to do pick up orders and deal with lines out the door at the same time. Now your losing money with re fire orders or running out of food. I’m sorry but a lot of people In Atlanta with order 100 family meals now the people physically there are waiting hours. It’s 1 million variables. Some of these places are small and just starting. And one TikToker will post this place and all of a sudden people at flooded your store. Hell even physical traffic around the establishment. Now I know it sounds like I’m siding with these restaurants. Now I will tell you I love the fact y’all are targeting these restaurants because they terrible Ways definitely needs to be called out. The city of Atlanta makes money off of tourist attractions. And these restaurants, slick, help rotate money in the city. Like the strip clubs and clubs. so the city of Atlanta turns its head sometimes. But the people complain to TikTokers, and not actual agencies that come down on these businesses. there are many agencies to complain to about these restaurants, but the huge problem is a lot of people don’t even know about these resources. Knowledge is power. Not all owners in Atlanta are from Atlanta some also Just are doing just enough to get a dollar. A lot of the owners are copying each other’s business model and hoping and praying nobody sees the BS. And that can span between how they treat their workers or even customers. If you notice in Atlanta, a lot of people that are owners are doing the small shops restaurants to have cheap rent. But the main problem is them getting greedy when they have growth and not moving to a bigger location. and then there are some that are just putting a bunch of little locations everywhere. Atlanta customers are filled with the world . These customers also does a lot of scamming in fraud to these restaurants as well. Hence some places cash only or tap only. Some restaurants are tired of being scammed. Some restaurants are just doing a lot of caution to not be scammed. This is a non union state. I’m sorry but Georgia is set up to give owners a lot of power in laws so . This state is getting over on people not knowing the resources to hold them accountable. So saying that that’s why Atlanta turns it’s head because everyone is pissed but not doing anything about it. The best check mate in 2023 today is social media. And owner has to get ahead of bad PR😂 I love owners getting held accountable. Some are very genuine, but they are overshadowed by the terrible new owners in the city. It’s a catch 22 in the restaurant business in Atlanta. I watched Atlanta show it’s ass after Covid. The best spots In Atlanta are known by all the people that has lived there 10years plus. Everyone else slick still touring . I moved to Atlanta from palm beach Florida in 05. This is the worst behavior Atlanta has been on. Covid make Atlanta sick in many ways😂 and we still had to got to work in Georgia. They called restaurants essential over here😂 slave model. Property I mean workers can’t get sick down here or your killed I mean fired. Atlanta might be democratic, but the owners in Atlanta are definitely fiscal Republicans. Read the room. They cutting corners 😂 now Keith on they ass😂
Joe is like "I worked hard for this clout, give me my preferential treatment!"
Those restaurants in Atlanta have the most craziest regulations/rules for ppl in business. Like that why they charge so much for basic food.
Keith lee ain’t worried about nobody wanting to fight lol
One very important thing Joe left out was, these restaurants beg him to come a see them
Keith Lee been to NY already and had a great experience lol
That’s small town shit 😂 2:18
A lot of those places he went to WASNT POPPIN at the time tho 😂
Emanny thought Pablo was a real person 😂
Being "slammed" doesn't justify having shitty service. Black people hate the MF truth. If you treat everyone fairly then it's not an issue.
@3:02 Thank you for stating this. Guest will complain on high volume days while ordering a well done burger.
You haven't heard of Keith Lee but you're speaking about him? Got it.
