First Impression

I ordered the smothered pork chop and catfish meal's. This was my first time ordering from this restaurant and I'm not gonna lie, I was very skeptical when I saw there was a soul food restaurant on this side of the DMV area. Most often when I see a place selling soul food in this area, my expectations are low and my disappointment is high. However, when I talked to the gentleman behind the counter while he poured a bowl of butter over the candy yams, I thought this place might have a chance. And, Lord have mercy, I was right to give this place a chance. I was not disappointed at all. It was everything soul food is supposed to be: seasoned, flavorful and unhealthy if you have high cholesterol, or blood pressure. I WILL be back!!

Food was so good! Definitely will be coming back, cooks were friendly and kind. We got dinner meals and the jumbo shrimps were huge. High recommend. We paid $20 for an entree and 2 sides, my dish came was shrimp and it came with hush puppies. We also got red velvet cake and bread pudding which was so good, wishing you the best for your business.

Customer service was exceptional from the moment I arrived and exited my vehicle. The owner personally greeted me and inquired if I was seeking the restaurant. I confirmed my intention and he informed me that it was conveniently standing right in front I expressed my positive impression of the ambiance. Upon entering the establishment, I noticed the menu displayed on the counter. The prices, which are owned and operated by a Black individual, are quite reasonable. I I ordered the Whiting macaroni and cheese, collard greens, and catfish as a side dish. The culinary experience was exceptional, with each dish meticulously prepared and seasoned to perfection. The exceptional quality of the food will undoubtedly lead me to return in the future.

Took one bite and had to write this. Mac n cheese perfectly creamy, some of the best greens I’ve had, whiting perfectly seasoned/breaded. This the spot.

I've often found that uber-local joints get inflated ratings, from people charmed by an involved owner and/or who want to support a <5-man operation. I was happy to discover that wasn't the case here. The food's good! Very classic. I asked for a dinner plate of "whatever you recommend", with the assurance that, really, anything was fine, and got this: fried whiting, collard greens, and sweet potatoes, along with some white bread. The whiting was hot and seasoned, with crispy breading and almost no bones in the filet I ate. The sweet potato was an absolute standout for me — took me right back to every Thanksgiving with my family. The collard greens were made with more vinegar than I'm used to, but not so much that it was off-putting (which I have definitely encountered at other places), a
