Reviews
"The food was absolutely incredible! I devoured it quickly! The fried chicken platter was great and every item was seasoned to perfection. The service was outstanding as well, with an inviting and warm atmosphere created by the staff. This place has definitely become my new favorite local spot."
"One of the best finds we have come across for lunch. The atmosphere is comfy and service is so kind and friendly. And the food is AMAZING. Genuinely I feel like it should be more expensive with how great everything is, if you’re in the area I 100% recommend taking a stop here and order the Mac & cheese that was my favorite by far!"
"I am so glad me and my mom found this place, the owner is absolutely incredible and such a joy to talk to. We walked in and instantly got greeted by the owner and who we assumed, the cook, and they were both welcoming, friendly men. We got talking to the owner before placing our order and he was so easy to talk to, we got deep into getting to know the business and the history, we felt like we’ve known each other forever, very comforting! Me and my mom placed our order and both got the BBQ chicken, collard greens, Mac and cheese(my mom got the potato salad) and it came with sweet potato cornbread, We also got the Banana Pudding and the Pumpkin Cheesecake. If you’ve read this far all I can say is PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEE get over there, it’s all homemade and it shows, these are deep rooted recipes that deserve a taste from everyone. We took our order to go and my mom couldn’t even wait the 10 minute ride home before she dug right in. Everything was so so delicious and comforting, and so flavorful (I’m writing this review after eating everything and now it’s making me hungry again) this place deserves a loyal customer base and I wish nothing but great things for them over there. Without a doubt me and my mom will be coming here again and again. And the fact we have it right in our back yard is the highlight of my year! And when I didn’t think it could get any better………. THEY CATER AS WELL !!!! We will be seeing you again, very soon. Hands down the best Soul food establishment!! Forever loyal customers!"
"I was looking for a spot to grab breakfast on a Saturday. I found Dootsie's Kitchen was close so I arrived just as they slightly before they opened. I asked what the owner what he'd recommend for a first time customer if he wanted to get me to talk about how great his food was to friends. *Spoiler alert: THEY FOOD IS GREAT. * He recommended the French Toast Waffle and Chicken. I ordered it and it took a while to prepare. I only noticed because I had skipped breakfast and I was getting Hangry. A hangry persons looks at the clock when waiting for their order like everyone else looks at the time clock at the end of the work on Friday. The plate came out and the Waffle was dusted with powered sugar and the chicken wings were fresh out the fryer. I was impressed. The meal was delicious. They are open 6 days a week, closed on Mondays. I'm looking forward to checking out the rest of their menu. They've been open for a year and I encourage you to visit and tell your friends so they will be around for years because I need time to go through the rest of the menu. I highly recommend the restaurant."
"SO excited!!! So good! So clean! Fresh and delicious. We got the pineapple bbq and hot spicy wings - they came with fries 6 for $10. their cornbread is sweet potato cornbread - tastes like cake! hubby got fried whiting (cornmeal) with collard greens (cut with cabbage) candies yams - yum yum yum. i had baked bbq quarter chicken dark with collards too and black-eyed peas (nice & soft). the collards and BEP were delicious- i don’t think smoked but very slow-cooked! and lastly the banana pudding with strawberries - gurrllll YUMMO! go support a small business! a black-owned small business!! I can’t wait for breakfast fish & grits or shrimp & grits or chicken & waffles!!! go go go!!!"
