THE FOOD 8S HIGH AND AWFUL.....THE HAMBURGER STEAK WAS JUST COOKED NO SEASONINGS....THE CORNBREAD DRESSING NO SEASONING... Bought 2 dinners and pissed. I will not be eating out in COLUMBUS that's it. I took a break for 4 months eating out so this was the first place I tried since my hiatus & now I know to keep cooking my own meals no matter how tired I am🤨

I've never been to this location; I've always gone to the Phenix City location. However, I was kind of disappointed. The line was very long, but they seemed to have a good system as for efficiency, so the wait wasn't as bad as expected. After receiving my food, I now know why. The first lady that put the meats on the plate was very patient and polite. The issue came from the second lady that added the sides; she just threw them on the plate with no care or concern for the extra juices and items mixing. I know all of the food will mix eventually; I just prefer they don't until I have had the opportunity to taste them individually. The presentation was not that appetizing. Looks like slop, almost like something you'd feed a dog. I was greatly disappointed. We had 4 plates total, I did not g

I walked in, not knowing what to expect. I will walk out, knowing that I will definitely be back. I decided to try the roast beef with rice, and chose peas with snaps and collard greens as my two sides. I asked for salt and pepper shakers, but after two bites of the food, I brought the shakers back to the counter because the food is so delicious that I didn't need it. In fact, I'm still not done eating my meal because I wanted to go ahead and write this review. Super friendly staff, amazing serve time, and plenty of places to sit, and only cost about $15 for this very filling plate. Please, do yourself a favor and come enjoy a fantastic meal from this gem of a restaurant.

Long time customer of the Meatloaf Thursday. Today portion size is much smaller and lately someone is using a lot of Pepper in the Meatloaf and Vegetables.

Ed's food looks presentable, but it didn't have any flavor. For Soul Food, you would expect flavor. Maybe since i'm from NYC that i'm expecting to much from Ed's, because there are a few Soul Food resturants in NYC that Ed's just can't matchup too, it didn't have any flavor. I feel people go here because Soul Food resturants are slim to none in the area. You could eat the food if you need something to eat, it would satisfy your hunger, but it wouldn't satisfy your taste buds. You will not lick your fingers after this meal.
