Kandi Burruss' Atlanta restaurants cannot seem to catch a break.
Months after Blaze Steak & Seafood received a failing health rating, a customer put the Real Housewives of Atlanta star on blast for being charged $4 for two ice cubes – twice!
Georgia attorney Ryan Williams provided a photo of his receipt from Sunday, showing that he was charged $30 for two Hennessys, $4 for two "rocks," $15 for a cheeseburger and fries, and $8 for a Red Bull. An 18% percent gratuity was added to his order. Along with tax, his meal totaled $72.58.
Posting the image on social media, Ryan called on Kandi to "FIX THIS GHETTO [expletive] S--T," claiming this was already his "second attempt to patronize" her establishment.
"The first time I was over charged for cheese and margarita ice," he explained. "I am very upset that I had to pay $4 for ice for my mixed henn and coke drink and another $8 for a Red Bull."
"I pride myself on eating at black owned restaurants," he went on. "In fact I budget $300 a month toward this and often over spend. But ya'll have lost your rabbit [expletive] minds with this over charging."
Apparently, Burruss' team saw the post and contacted Williams, who then took to social media to sing the reality star's praises.
"I just had a very great conversation with Kandi's team and all the issues of pricing and transparency were addressed," Ryan shared on Instagram Monday. "I was told there will no longer be an upcharge for those lines items and those line items have in fact been fully removed from the POS system."
"My intention was never to cancel or boycott the restaurant but instead make sure that the issue was corrected," he explained. "As I stated, I went to the restaurant the first time and this occurred. I noticed the overcharge, I made it known, and was told it was an oversight/mistake. I returned for a second time and the oversight/mistake occurred again."
