"My friends and I went and all got different entrees: pork chops, blackened chicken, and catfish. The proteins were GREAT! The sides were meh. I was not a huge fan of the greens or Mac and my friends weren’t crazy about their cabbage and mashed potatoes either. Hot sauce gave the sides more flavor but they were pretty bland. Each meal comes with cornbread and it was delicious! If it weren’t for the sides, this is somewhere I could see myself coming on a regular and consistent basis. Also, the woman at the cash register was super sweet. Overall would recommend."

"When I tell y’all I’ll be back, I will most definitely be back. Food was amazing! A variety to choose from. I had their Cajun fried chicken wings (cook to order) with some yams, mac n cheese, greens, cornbread, and gumbo. Wings were cooked to perfection & juicy! Great bold flavors. The mac n cheese was a little too runny for my likings. Now my only complaint but won’t affect my rating was their gumbo. It was on the salty side. Lastly, they only had two kinds of drinks to sell which was Pepsi & Mountain Dew. Luckily you can get something next door at the gas station and bring it in. I didn’t wait too long for my food which was a plus knowing it was cook to order. Service was okay as in not rude nor super attentive. Otherwise everything was good. Also, cashless facility."

"If it’s one thing, looks are deceiving! This is the WORST Soul food restaurant I have eaten at. The food, for one, was cold, and they looked like someone who had just learned how to cook, slopping food in a tray and calling it a day. The best thing I had in my entire order was the even bad collard greens. For something that can be steamed or cooked in water, they were dry. The Mac was tasteless, the fries not crunchy, just soft, the catfish was alright, didn’t taste much seasoning, the seasoning on the shrimp was VERY SALTY, spaghetti was nasty like it was made with some old or freezer burn seafood, pasta was tasteless as well, corn was good don’t think you can mess up sweet corn and the ox tail didn’t fall off the bone. I was chewing for some time to eat the ox tail. Overall, it was a HORRIBLE meal. Maybe I need to go in person to see if the food will be any better. The quality of the food left much to be desired. From the moment I received my food, it was evident that something was amiss. The food had no smell to it. I was expecting to get Soul food and smell the Soul, but it was as if someone with NO culinary expertise made a dish. The menu boasted a variety of options, but the execution fell short of expectations. The dish I ordered arrived lukewarm and lacked the promised flavors. It's disheartening to see a restaurant with such potential fall short of delivering a satisfying meal."

"OH MY GOD, this place you can miss but the food is AMAZING. It’s pricey but I love the food. Everything . The oxtails were the best I ever had, Mac, and greens. I honestly felt at home eating here ! You’ll love this place. The employees beautiful and very professional. They gave me a free cobbler cup."
