My friend and I visited this place seeing as he had the taste for a fried pork chop. While I had never been, we decided to give them a shot. Upon entering the restaurant it was very clean. The lady who took our order was more than nice she also gave recommendations. Seeing as we both ordered pork chops, they were cooked to order. I will say the sides are buffet style as well as some of the main courses. The service was quick, and the food was solid. In terms of soul food there are better choices in the city. However, this is still a solid choice. I would like to note that there is a banquet hall attached to which was very nice. Seems like they just recently had a wedding.

I ordered online but didn’t read the reviews prior to which is my fault. Soul food with no soul in the building is a no for me. Sweet potato pie was so light I think they forgot to bake it. Collards are definitely out of a can. I’m just going to leave it there. Never again. Sticking to Nana’s

Don’t waste your money…we ordered 3 plates and the beat thing was the cornbread! Fried chicken was decent, but the fried pork chops were barely breaded and all of the sides appeared to be from a can!

The food is nasty. Ordered beef stew over rice with collard greens on the side. Their collard greens have the hard stems in them and taste like extremely salty vinegar, wasn’t cooked with a meat in the pot AT ALL. Boiled in a pot of vinegar then drenched in salt. The beef stew wasn’t even a stew. It was dry. There was no sauce, no stew, nothing. Just beef, rice, and potatoes. The beef itself was also DRY! I don’t recommend. It’s not REAL soul food

Very surprising, but this place is great! The fried chicken was awesome, cooked to order, very flavorful, crispy, and HOT! The sides are a hit, the hubs love the green beans, he still talks about it. The yams were delicious, mashed potatoes were the right texture. I just say enough about the food. We are definitely coming back to order more.
