A-mayes-N Soul Food

"This is my second time ordering. The first time I got the smothered pork chop and OMG they were wonderful. Second time I ordered pigs feet dinner, ox tail dinner, smothered pork chops and bread pudding all with Mac and cheese and corn bread. Portion sizes are hugh, food is to die for and the bread pudding is wonderful. Everyone was nice and helpful. The only problem I have is they are less than a half mile from my home, so I can see I will need a punch card and a diet soon."

"I ordered fried wings yams and Mac. Wings were burnt and tasted funny like it was fried in old grease. No season or taste to them. I couldn’t even barely eat it. And I don’t even want to save it. TRASH. My cousin got turkey wings yams Mac rice with gravy and potato salad. She barely ate any of her sides. They were horrendous. Wings tasted raw and unseasoned. Cake tasted store bought and dry. NEVER AGAIN. Not sure what happened but I ordered here a long time ago and this food did not look nor taste like that. Wasted money and f’ed up my taste to even eat. We spent $70!!!! Could have had better at Mickey D’s!!!!!!!!"

"Ms Sheila, your food has always been delicious, for years, but I've noticed that since you relocated, the atmosphere and lack of customer service leaves a lot to be desired. When spending our hard earned money in your establishment, we don't feel welcomed and appreciated in the way that we used to. Now it seems as though we are a bother coming through the door. The young lady behind the counter was rude to me, in person, and abrupt with customers on the phone. The entire time she was taking my order, she was playing with her braids, braiding it, unbraiding it, and flipping it back and forth!!! No stars for customer service because she was an absolute ZERO!!! Thankfully she was not in the kitchen. The young man with the Jamaican accent was greatly helpful and made the visit worthwhile. I always recommended you for the best SOUL FOOD in the area, since we come from across the water. It takes 43 minutes to get to your establishment, and I'm giving this review on the way home. The food smells great but it's the poor customer service and unwelcoming atmosphere that leaves a bad taste in my mouth."

"Ordered smothered Porkchops with collards and cabbage. First the sides, the cabbage were mushy and collards were salty to point I couldn't eat them. I forgot that most food place just pour gravy over a pchop when u order smothered, it's not the same to me if it's not cooked down in the gravy. A spoon was in utensils pk so I tried to spoon gravy on pchop as most was at bottom of container, gravy was ok not homemade probably but it was ok."

"Amazing food and wonderful people! Had the smoked sausage with a side of collards, a roll and a lemonade to wash it down. The smoke sausage is scored before they smoke it getting that flavor all through the sausage and giving it a nice texture. I got it smothered with gravy and onions. It comes on a bed of rice but I am not supposed to be eating carbs so I asked for no rice, that was a huge mistake. The gravy was so good I thought to myself this needs some rice. The sausage is spicy but not Thai food hot. The menu says the dinner is $15.75 but I didn’t get the dinner, so mine was only $10.50, this is an amazing price for all of this delicious food. The collards were really good, they had some red pepper flakes to spice them up and they were not over cooked. Some places that make large batches will let it cook too long before they serve it. They still had a good texture which made you realize you were eating a fresh cooked product. I thought they gave me extra collards because I told him I didn’t want rice but after I asked them, they told me that’s how much collards you get. It was served with a 24 ounce iced lemonade which was really good, hit the spot with that spicy sausage. Now let’s talk about the people in there. I dealt with three people and they were the nicest you would ever meet. I saw in some of the reviews there were issues with employees but I just wonder if someone was having a bad day. Besides, it takes two to make a bad experience. The lady Who took my order was very helpful with the menu when I told her I was trying not to eat fried food. The guy that served my food and got my drink was very courteous and made sure I had everything I needed. When I was done I talked to the lady again along with a man that I think does all the smoking. We talked for a few minutes and I could tell they were genuinely good people, I don’t know if they were family but they seem to be. I watched a lady order the oxtail dinner and both her sides were yams. I don’t know what they do with these yams but next time I’m ordering that. She said they were delicious. I also wanna try the crabcakes and a few other items. The menu in my pictures isn’t accurate as they had some things penciled in on a different menu, I get the feeling that they cook what’s on the menu and occasionally add a few things which is very homely. Eat here, you will feel like you’re back in your grandmothers kitchen."
