Hiphopfc Reviews 2

Mid food taste and ambiance of the restaurant is also in the middle rate

It was easy enough to setup an account and place an order online, I’m disappointed in the DoorDash Storefront as I expect more from a business with their resources.

The staff was nice, and pickup was simple and straight forward, seating is rather worn and the counter hails back to the height of COVID and isn’t overly inviting.

HipHop’s FAQ says they sprinkle all their food with a “special blend of lemon pepper seasoning”, I’ve never known lemon pepper to feel gritty, or taste like salt if either lemon or pepper were present, they were entirely masked. We could taste neither lemon nor pepper, only an over abundance of salt. The pickles, chicken, eggplant, and clam strips were so heavily salted that they were all inedible.

The corn nuggets were mildly sweet, somewhat firm with whole kernels and a pleasant salt free corn taste. The sweet potatoes were also a good choice, they were mashed and not whipped. I’d have preferred a bit more brown sugar and for them to be warm; however, that’s getting picky. The breading on the eggplant and pickles was too heavy, overpowering the texture of the fruit.

The chicken legs might have been decent, the flavor completely overwhelmed and it was difficult to get past. The only complaint about the cole slaw is the portion size, it was more a small condiment than a side dish, too little of a good thing.

The salt on the clam strips was so heavy that they felt gritty leaving residue on my fingers, I threw the bulk of them out as they were simply inedible.

None of the fried food was edible and most of it was tossed into the bin, we don’t plan to ever return. No amount of reasonable pricing makes up for HipHop’s taking what could have been well prepared food and rendering it worthless.
