  Mac & cheese: watery and bland. No creaminess, no seasoning, no soul. That alone is enough to offend an entire lineage. Yams: way too much cinnamon. Not warm-spiced overpowered. Dessert-adjacent in the worst way. Wings: ordered 6, got 3. That’s not a mix-up, that’s somebody counting wrong and hoping you wouldn’t notice. Freshness: this is what really took me out. The food did not taste fresh at all. Straight up gave reheated, 2-day-old leftovers. That dry-but-wet texture you only get from sitting in a pan too long. No snap, no warmth, no just-made energy. This wasn’t soul food — it was microwaved memories. Soul food is supposed to feel like love, care, and intention. This felt rushed, reheated, and careless. Would I recommend it? No. Would I return? Absolutely not. If you’re gonna charge soul-food prices, the food better be fresh, seasoned, and plentiful. Period.

  I wish I could give 11 stars. Every single item we got here was EXCELLENT and we got half of the options. Smothered wings, collard greens, candied yams, barbecue wings, jerk chicken, fried chicken, fried cabbage, Mac and cheese, red beans and rice, black eyed peas, brussel sprouts, spaghetti, chocolate cake and the carrot cake everything was better than what I've had in Atlanta. Great food, great service I am telling everyone I know about this place.

  It looked quiet so we stopped in for a quick bite. Everything that we tried was perfect! Crispy fried chicken, greens cooked just right with smoked turkey, mac & cheese had that perfectly browned top and was still creamy underneath. My favorites were the meatloaf and black eyed peas, though. Both flavors and textures were spot on. This was a great home cooked meal, but we didn't have to wash a single pot! It's cheap too. A full plate of goodies was only about $11. Oh, and they have kool-aid! Just like when I was a kid. This place feels like home, and I hope to return many times.

  The food is delicious many food options but the service is very slow. I ordered catfish and they didn’t have it already prepared it had to be cooked in back and it took awhile. The atmosphere is warm and comfortable love the black prominent figures on the wall.

  Ordered off doordash and they didn't give me the red beans and rice that I ordered but gave me spaghetti and yams that I didn't order. Mac and cheese is salty, the smothered chicken looked like a greasy mud that coated the chicken. The man that answered the phone when I called acted irritable when I called to let them know they forgot items. How hard is it to read a receipt like huh?
