★★★★☆ 4.0 Gail Washington · Aug 2025

The atmosphere is a bit jarring. It’s in an older part of town off the beaten path. But what is lost in aesthetics is made up in the food. I love that nothing is over, salted or seasoned. The ribs fell off the bone, and the pork chop was incredibly moist and tender, and the lady who helped me was the sweetest.

★★★★★ 5.0 Maksim Blair · Apr 2023

A very unique dinning experience. They have a large menu on the wall after making your selection you walk to the window and order and wait for your number. After collecting the food. I was pleasantly surprised with huge portions of fish and all the sides. The potato salad was good, a little bit on the mustard side. The macaroni and cheese was out of this world amazing!! The corn was very nice. It had a large flavor and was excellent with the fish. The only thing that would have made it better is a little bit of tartar sauce for dipping, but other than that amazing experience!!

No frills eatery. I don't know how this place stays under the radar but even Stevie Wonder and other celebs have been here. Mostly visited by regulars as I was one before I moved. Their greens are my favorite hands down. The workers are always nice, and the lemonade is yummy!!

Food is very good. Only the corn bread need a little work, but everything else is delicious. home cook. Meals at a great price

★★★★☆ 4.0 Jada Owusu · Jan 2025

I got wings (super small), cabbage (overcooked and very very very soft) and Mac n cheese (great texture and look but tasted sweet like nutmeg or cinnamon was in it). The service was great and the space clean which are the main reasons for the high rating. However the food was just ok. I will give them another try because the ribs looked juicy and tender....and hoping the sweet Mac was an oversight and not the usual recipe.
