Overall the customer service could be better, but the cook is a cutie.

So I tried to support another Black Owned Business for lunch today. It’s called Ava’s Kitchen, just opened end of April. It’s a very clean establishment, but whewww let me tell you about this owner.

This is fabulous. For some reason, it's the hat on the owner's head that makes the image for me!

Nice setup. Now I want one of those wire condiment caddies.

That is great. I would also patronize the car wash in one of the comments. Got to support small businesses in their early stages!

I am glad that the restaurant is enforcing social distancing by having only one table

"I been waiting on my order to get done for 45 minutes, and I’m the only customer here. She was making good progress at first, then she stopped for 20 minutes to go watch Paw Patrol."

Somehow this reminds me of that Washington Post article about people reviewing their homes like they were hotels/AirBnB's.

My daughter would stab me to get that kitchen, I feel sure of it.

Omg i needed this, as a black man who grew up without a father being constantly present, and who is always feeling all kinds of feels as Father's Day approaches each year. Thank you, Evilspork.

To be honest, the service he got seems pretty in line with the service at my favorite Ethiopian restaurant so I’d be willing to give Ava’s Kitchen a chance.

It’s a KidKraft kitchen, I think. We have a smaller one, and it is absolutely worth the price (but make sure you have the right little-fiddly-door-catches in the right place — they are different). I also recommend KidKraft’s play food sets: easily my preschooler’s most-played-with toys.
