A Lexington, N.C., soul food restaurant is asking the public to help identify a woman who allegedly racked up $106 in food and left without paying the bill.
JJ’s Mama’s & Soulfood, located at 601 W 5th Avenue, posted surveillance video on Facebook Saturday evening showing the woman in question. According to the restaurant, the woman balled up a dine-in receipt at the register, then cleverly placed a to-go order to cover up the unpaid meal.
“They ate in. Went to the register to pay. Balled up the dine in order and ordered a to-go order to play it off,” the restaurant wrote in the post.

Explains why when my family and I drove 30mins to have lunch after church today we could not go in. She started turning people away around 2 even though she closes at 4. They said they had 1 cook and 2 servers but had SEVERAL open tables. What doesn’t she collect at the time of the order like other establishments. My family wasn’t the only family turned away today after traveling from out of town to patronize her business after seeing Keith Lee’s viral TikTok review. I promise I won’t be going back. Same words I heard from other patrons today as they drove away. Sunday is and ALWAYS has been a busy day at black owned soul food restaurants. Be better prepared next time!
I really hate bitxhes like you , you think it’s her fault some dusty a*s Mf didn’t want to pay their tab so she had to do what she needed to do for her business . How About Next time You just be prepared to go somewhere else or Stay home and Cook . I’m pretty sure She doesn’t care if you go back or Not because at the end of the day SHE HAS TO DO WHAT SHE NEED TO DO FOR HER BUSINESS! Since you have so much to say would YOU have paid That $100 for the person who ran off ? How would YOU Handle that situation if you Were in it ? OAN : Please Be quiet If the Only reason you were going because of a TikTok Mf . I’m sure her business is better without you 🤏🏾
If a Lil 100 gonna stop your business you dont need to be in business. And most people going to that lil spot that’s not from lexington on there because of tik tok remember that
