Kandi Burruss Breaks Her Silence On Keith Lee's Viral Review Of Her Restaurant!

Kandi Burruss has entered the chat!

After wildly popular food reviewer and TikTok creator Keith Lee shared his experience at Burruss' Atlanta restaurant, Old Lady Gang, Burruss chimed in with her own TikTok video.

While visiting Atlanta with his family for a food tour, Lee attempted to eat at "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Burruss' restaurant. We say "attempted" because as viewers saw, Lee began his video in his car as usual, but this time without any food.

Lee began his TikTok video explaining that while at a music festival with his family, he was approached by someone who works with Burruss who told him that they've been trying to reach him since he's arrived in Atlanta.

"He said he’d been constantly emailing me and constantly DM’ing me to come to Old Lady Gang,” he said in his video. “I got it, let’s try it and rate it one to 10.”

That's when viewers see the lack of food, which is an odd site for a food review video by Lee. Although, this exact thing happened at one other Atlanta restaurant, but we'll get to that later.

Lee went on to explain that he sent his family into the restaurant to get food so they wouldn't know it was for him. Anyone who follows him knows he gives honest reviews and doesn't want any special treatment, which could make his experience different than everyone else's.

After being told they don't do take out and there's over an hour wait to be seated, Lee decided to go into the restaurant himself.

"As always, I don’t want any special treatment. I wanna be treated like everybody else,” he said. “I pay for my food like everybody else. I’m a normal person. I’m a normal customer. Things like this is exactly why I do reviews the way I do.”

Lee was told his table will be ready in five minutes. And this was just after his family was told the wait is more than an hour.

"Again, my family just attempted to eat there less than two minutes ago. I then told her I changed my mind, was gonna go eat somewhere else," he said. “And I said, ‘God bless you’ and I walked out.”

The video got tons of attention and thousands of comments. But Burruss was nowhere to be found in the comment section.

Burruss shared a video on TikTok that gives some insight on her restaurant and the situation that went down.

"I'm about to speak on it. No, I'm joking. I'm not about to speak on it," she began her video. "I just really want to say, I do appreciate Keith Lee for stopping by our restaurant and trying to show us love. It is very unfortunate that we couldn't serve him and his family."

She went on to say, "he's right" about to-go orders and explained why they don't take to-go orders on the weekends.

"The simple reason is because we do love and appreciate the people who come and support our restaurant," she continued. "On the weekends, we get a lot of community support, people in our city that show up for us, as well as a lot of people from out of town. So, with that being said, we don't want to overwhelm our kitchen by having to, you know, have such long times for the people who are actually at the restaurant, plus having to do to-go orders."

While many of the video's viewers appreciated her explanation, some wanted her to address one particular moment of Lee's experience.

"But.. How do you go from an 1.5 hour wait for "regular customers" and seated immediately for Keith Lee?" one viewer wrote. Another added, "I was waiting on this to be addressed as well," and many others also had similar thoughts.

Lee visited many different Atlanta restaurants while visiting the area and had some interesting issues with a few. He started his video about The Real Milk & Honey in a similar way as Old Lady Gang's, with no food.

"I got it, let's try it and rate it 1 to 10," he said as he usually does. But this time, no food in his hands. "As you can see, I don't have any bag in my hands."

He went on to explain that he attempted to call in an order and they didn't take call-in orders. He then tried DoorDash and that didn't work out either. Lee's family went into the restaurant and they were told they are closed for deep cleaning, but they saw other people picking up food orders.

"Now, we have no idea if those people ordered beforehand or what the case is," he continued. He then explained that he then walked into the restaurant and was recognized and offered to serve them, but he respectfully declined.

Lee shared a recap video of his time in Atlanta that highlighted the "good and the not so good."

He summed up his experience at some of the restaurants and the ordeals he dealt with while trying to review them.

In his recap, he shared a clip of Cardi B talking about Lee's Atlanta food tour issues.

"I know that being a restaurant owner is a lot of hard work, and so many people have invested money in their restaurants," Cardi B said. "But I always find this - eating in Atlanta, it is such an event. You could barely order in Atlanta restaurants."
