    The food was awful!!! My chicken tenders was very Rubbery & as soon as I picked them up all the breading fell off. I sent them back & the next order was the exact same way!!!!! Awful!!! The collards were edible but not the best. The mac & cheese was very bland. The mystery drink was delicious. The waitress was amazing However I will not come back to this location again.

    Ordered the fried Talapia, string beans & mac. Took my chances with the mystery cake, 2go. Fish was great, moist, adequately seasoned. Green beans not overcooked & a tad sweet. Mac was ok. Cake was incredibly dry. Server appeared bothered & kitchen staff entered and exited the restroom with gloves on! Reminded me of a soulfood McDonald's with trap music.

    I've been wanting to try this place for a while & it was decent. If you're someone who gets cold easily bring a sweater!! Lol but this spot is your average soul food restaurant. The fried shrimp was really good, well seasoned. I wasn't crazy about the steak because it was cooked well done & I personally prefer medium or medium well. The Mac n cheese, lobster and green beans were really good! The mystery drink was super sweet and reminded me of kool aide. Our waitress Kayla was nice too.

    Food was horrible, the fish was not seasoned, candy yams taste like it came out of the van into my plate. Good altogether was very bland especially for the price. Customer service is so-so, the fact that you have to wait outside for your food is ridiculous.

    I went on 5/20/2022. I must say overall the food was bussing. I ordered the lemon pepper wings with a side of veggie rice and fries and Mac and cheese.. And chicken rolls as a appetizer along with fried brocili bites. The brocili bites were delicious. And fries and rice. The wings were OK. Very small and dry. The Mac and cheese was the highlight. It taste like they had a grandma make that Mac and cheese. Overall I enjoyed the visit and will Def visit again.

    Disappointed in the Chef. The candy yams was disgusting and dark colored. The turkey wings wasn't cooked thoroughly. The mac was disgusting! I wanted to refrain from doing this review but it will happen to someone else if I do. I purchased this 9/24/2022 11am! 🤢🤔 😔

    I’m pregnant and was craving soul food. First time eating from here and highly satisfied. We ordered our food for pickup and the food was ready on time. The food was amazing. My fiancé and I got baked mac and cheese, collard greens with smoked turkey, yams, fried shrimp and fingalickin wings. Everything was tasty and great portions of the food was served…The red velvet cake was fresh. Oh how could I forget about the famous mystery drink…. Very delicious…. You won’t be disappointed….

    Great food, drinks, staff, and atmosphere. Big shout out to Mrs. Moe, she was our server that day and took very good care of us. Thank you to the host and camera guy, too.

    The wings were dry and over cooked, they also tasted as if they were cooked in old grease. Fries were slightly over seasoned. The lemonaid drink was great. I've tasted 100% better. This was my first and last time eating at this place..

    This place was awesome. Chicken Wings, side items, lemonade, & fish was all on point. The Fried turkey wings was cook a little too hard, but other than that, it was some good eating. The wait (server) was also a little slow.

    I went on a Sunday afternoon and had an amazing experience. The service was great and the food was absolutely delicious! Most people take out food so the dining area was just a few tables. The server wasn’t able to get to us quickly but instead of ignoring us, she acknowledged us by letting us know she’ll be right with us and one of her coworkers helped us with our drinks which was very nice! Loved my experience so much and can’t wait to go back.

    I agree with others the yams are def canned and taste like it the greens are canned but have some flavor they gave me mini baby wings but the waitress who had to work alone..was very nice and replaced with reg wings but I requested fried hard and still they were not. The manager did not even assist the waitress and she was running! The rice looks pretty but dry as dry could be. I would not suggest. Extremely basic and edible if ur starving but would not suggest it.

    Finger licking Good. The food, the staff, the oral was all 5 stars. I mean the red waffle and golden fried chicken remixed the whole chicken and waffle craze.

    GREAT food and service! Food also came fast! We arrived right around 12:30pm. Noticed the crowd started picking up while we were there. Glad we got in when we did!

    The food is really good here. I’ve ordered the steak pasta and wings. The food is reasonable priced. There was no wait. Our server was very polite and knowledgeable. There is plenty of food choices on their menu. The portions will leave you full. Parking is available at this location. Our food came out in a timely manner. They don’t provide free water. You have to purchase a bottled water.

    I just brought this food and it seemed old and tasted like it wasn’t fresh! They just opened and my food shouldn’t look this old. I couldn’t even finish my lunch and if I take back they’ll deny it.

  • 5/5 Deasia W. 9 months ago on Google
    Great establishment! Food was really good and seasoned!! I had the Fried Lobster Tail, Mac and Cheese, and Collards while my boyfriend enjoyed the Chicken and Red Velvet Waffles. Everything was good! Service was a little slow but worth the wait. Was immediately greeted and seated once we arrived and the music and ambiance was cool. It was a vibe!
