Customer Reviews
OMG, I attended a family event at the Sweet Jam on Monday, December 15, 2025 the food was delicious. The fish was hot and fresh right out of the grease. Everything was great. I had the sweet tea with lemonade mix. The chocolate cake was light and fluffy.
Came here for Sunday buffet with friends. They also had entrees if you didn’t want to do the buffet. Buffet started at noon. I had three plates of food from the buffet section, tried a small portion of everything. The food were good, pig feet dipped in a bit of vinegar, fried chicken , oven baked chicken, tender ribs, and all the sides. I will come back again. I like the fact if you have leftover from buffet, you will be charged for it to go, so that you aren’t wasting food. The server was kind and friendly. She made sure we were ok as we waited for the buffet and kept us updated on the wait time.
I wanted so bad to enjoy the food but the only things that were even ok were the sweet potato pancakes and baked beans. It tasted like nursing home food. There was no seasoning, the fish was VERY fishy, and the pancakes were burnt. They used frozen sausage patties like the ones McDonalds uses. I ordered a To Go order and sat there for over an hour. They asked if I wanted American ir cheddar in my eggs but used the wrong one anyway. This was my first and last time here. $70 wasted.
I am here from Florida on a work assignment and have found soul food!!! Cabbage was perfectly soft. The wings were huge. And the strawberry cake was moist. While I was eating I was online planning my next order.
The food was so delicious. Service was excellent and the price was just right. Looking forward to coming back real soon. Try it, you won't be disappointed.
