The food here is exceptional, boasting a fantastic flavor profile from start to finish. I ordered the catfish, hushpuppies, macaroni and cheese, and a peach cobbler for dessert.
The catfish was executed perfectly-golden and crispy on the outside while still hot, tender and juicy on the inside. The hushpuppies had a wonderful touch of sweetness that left me wanting more with every bite, and the mac and cheese was rich, warm, and packed with a flavorful blend of cheeses. The star of the show was the peach cobbler: wonderfully sweet and deeply comforting. The cinnamon and nutmeg played in complete harmony with the tender peaches and flaky crust, achieving a flawless balance. This meal feeds the soul.

Aii.. lemme start off by saying that the service was fantastic. Everyone was friendly and attentive. And the inside was clean and had a nice chill vibe with the music, so no complaints about service or ambiance. Now foe the real reason we’re here, the grub. I wasn’t disappointed at all, some things slapped more than others, but overall a good experience for my pallet. I’ll go dish by dish.
Ox tails were a 9 imo, they weren’t the biggest, but they aren’t stingy and the flavor was on point.
Cabbage was a 7but not bad, I just would’ve liked it to be cooked down a little more but I appreciate the flavor profile cuz I sensed a lil spice to it.
The sweet potatoes, ehhhh… I’d give em a 5 at best, only because it tasted like sweet potato pie! Which isn’t nasty or gross but I didn’t want or expect to be eating sweet potato pie is all, so I’d pass on that in the future myself.
The turkey wings were a 7, I wanna give em an 8 cuz they were so damn tender and slipped off the bone, they cooked them perfectly. They just need a lil salt. Fortunately the gravy carried and made up for it, but I wish the turkey wings just had a tad bit more flavor on their own. But nonetheless I enjoyed em and would get them again push come to shove.
The rice was a 10, moist and flavorful and just nothing bad to be said about the rice.
Now for the collard greens. So much to dissect here, because I like big leafy greens vs chopped or dice, and they most certainly delivered in that regard so I was very happy there. HOWEVER… I couldn’t tell if they were burnt or if they were over smoked!! Either way it messed up the flavoring for me and I couldn’t enjoy them to their full potential, and THAT was a let down. So for the greens I’m teetering around a 6. I’d low key wanna try a sample again to see if they just had a bad day before wasting my time getting a while order and gambling with my taste buds.
As for the Mac, I liked it, nothing super special to say or bad by any means either so I’m comfy giving the Mac an 8.
The peach cobbler was a 7.5, my wife said it was too sweet for her but I enjoyed it. I feel since we took it to go and I reheated it by time I got back to the Telly, u can’t really critique it too heavily cuz some things u need to have fresh in its natural state to give it a fair assessment, but nonetheless I enjoyed it and ate both mine and hers, and would definitely get it again.
Overall great experience and would recommend to others and get myself if I’m ever down here again!
