He also informed us that we'd have to pay as one party. Therefore, even though both tables had suffered, only one table would get a 'discount.'- whatever that was. We were only a party of two when it served the restaurant's purpose. Worse the manager had not honored his '50% discount.' He told us in no uncertain terms that we were still a party of one, regardless of the fact that they had split us in two seperate groups, with two seperate tables. We were given the bill and realized that there were serious miscalculations on it. We weren't bothered by it because we were now, in our opinion, two parties. We were deciding how to pay when one of us noticed that they did not split bills in more than two. He came over and decided that he would take 50% off the party's bill. We were very upset by this time aand decided to speak to the manager about the quality of their service, or lack thereof. However, our 2 male friends by the other table were constantly asked if they needed anything. She just plopped our dishes down and left. The waitress never once during our meal asked us if we needed anything. We had to get utensils ourselves from the front. Our waitress was, for the lack of a better word, nonchalant. The other 2 people had to stand and wait for someone to come and bus the table, even after repeatedly requesting for it to be cleaned. They seated 4 of us at one table and then the other two at another. We were STARVING!!! It was a party of 6 initially. We went inside and let them know that we'd just split. We decided we'd just split because it was really a waste waiting that long then not getting any food at all. We decided to go outside and talk about it. She said, with an attitude, that she can't do anything more for us if we didn't want to split up. We had to ask her what the status of our seating was. The hostess then returned, spoke to the manager but said nothing to us. While we were waiting the manager William Reid, told us that we needed to remove ourselves from the area, even though we told him that the hostess had asked us to wait there. When the hostess finally called us in (hardly any waiting area in restaurant) she told us that we'd have to split. The waitress, however, assured us that it wouldn't be that long. We were there during the Atlanta Classic so we were not surprised that we would have to wait an hour and fifteen minutes. One of my friends was on the verge of crying because of how horribly they treated us. Shanga had a dream of starting his own restaurant some day -A restaurant that would serve the food that he had grown up with, while also adding to the legacy of his mother.This was the worst restaurant experience my friends and I have ever had eating out. He continued to display a strong desire and passion to stay connected with restaurants. The hard work in the butcher shop and the first experience of owning a restaurant did not deter Shanga. The family also had a restaurant for a period of time and learned the pitfalls of owning a restaurant. Shanga's additional connection to the restaurant industry started very early when his father introduced him to working in a butcher shop in Detroit, Michigan. Her son, Shanga, continues the tradition. Gladys Knight and Ron Winans, together with Shanga Hankerson, developed: Gladys Knight and Ron Winans' Chicken & Waffles. Many of them could not decide if they wanted breakfast or dinner-Wells gave them both! Gladys Knight continues the Chicken and Waffles tradition. Wells served many celebrities as they hung out in the late night hours. The concept of Chicken and Waffles was born in Harlem, New York in the 1930's.
