Bravo’s new reality TV series “Kandi and the Gang” is getting terrible reviews on social media. The new series premiered on March 6, and features Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss, her mom, Joyce, and her aunts Bertha and Nora.
The series centers around Kandi’s Old Lady Gang restaurant on Peters Street in southwest Atlanta.
We learn in the first 5 minutes that Joyce, Bertha and Nora are “Old Lady Gang” in name only. The women – who are in their 80s – don’t actually run the restaurant or work in the kitchen.
Oh, and they despise the staff.
Two of the restaurant’s hostesses are strippers, and Kandi hired a band of misfits to prepare the food.
It’s apparent that Kandi is unprepared to run any restaurant. Every time she opens her mouth, her husband, Todd, corrects her.
There are so many problems with OLG – and they all begin with Kandi. She’s not a very good judge of character. That’s probably why she brought back “hostess” Shawndreca Robinson, who we’re told was previously fired for insubordiation.
Shawndreca doesn’t get along with the restaurant’s manager, Phillip, who sent her home for talking back to him.
The first thing Kandi wanted to know was why he sent Shawndreca home just for being rude.

Here are a sample of reviews on Twitter:

Not to eat at Old Lady Gang! It’s a long line and the restaurant is poorly managed.
Maybe ask @LisaVanderpump for some help?— ? (@mloulou789) March 7, 2022
The Blaze host ask the Old Lady Gang host if they use iPads when checking customers in. She reply’s “we in the hood, baby, we don’t do all that.” She sounds ignorant and crazy. #DoYourHomework #IPadsAreUsedInTheHoodRestaurants #KandiAndTheGang
