My husband and I went to the Supper Club for the first time yesterday. We enjoyed the music but we were really disappointed with the meal. Not being southerners, we weren't interested in collard greens or grits and plain white rice was not appealing at all. My husband had some catfish and he said that it was dry and overcooked. As a vegetarian, there was nothing there for me to eat except a roll which is what I ended up having for dinner. I found it hard to believe that at a buffet there wasn't even a salad. I think that in order to appeal to the wide range of people who attend the supper club, the menu should be more generic: a salad, a vegetarian pasta dish, some sort of meat and potatoes. One other point: I was horrified that there were no tongs for picking up a roll from the bin. In the age of covid, there is no way that hundreds of hands should be touching food that others will be eating. For the price that we paid for the tickets, we expected a much better meal.

As a follow up, I received a very quick reply from the even organizer who agreed with my points and she intends to follow up with the caterer. I really appreciated her professionalism and her support.

I don't call it a supper club, the event organizer does. That is what it is called on the event website: "Johnny Wild Supper Club".

Sounds like the menu is from a resturant in Royal.

That response seems uncalled for. Pretty disrespectful.

The caterers are prepared to accommodate any restrictions within reason, including but not limited to: vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, kosher, and allergen-free dishes. Guests were asked to leave a note with any dietary restrictions/preferences when they bought their ticket on the website, so the caterers are prepared ahead of time.

wow, $60/ticket, I would certainly expect better

I think the menu sounds delicious, when in the south do as the southerners do!

And that is how you learn.

If you go on the Google for an explanation of a supper club.

How is a supper club different from a restaurant?
Supper clubs focus on creating intimate and exclusive dining experiences, with limited seating, fixed menus, and a warm ambiance. On the other hand, restaurants cater to a larger clientele, offer a wide range of menu choices, and have more flexible operating hours.
What you want is a restaurant with entertainment, not a supper club and call first to see what entertainment they are offering.
