Oxtails were literally cooked perfectly. Gravy/ white rice was good, Mac & cheese was good. The only thing I didn’t care for was the mashed potatoes & gravy.
The sweet tea was really good and the prices were awesome. I would definitely eat here again.
As far as the inside: It was a nice, clean full service restaurant.
Great food!! Flavorful as can be!! Staff was okay. Probably tired from a well deserved hard days work. Very minimal table settings. No condiments or paper towels on hand. Have to ask for it. Drinks were rather small but did the trick. We will be back try more!

*Went to Shut Em Down for my first time. My whole order was: Oxtails with Mac and cheese and greens, fried fish with Mac and cheese and yams, a two piece chicken strip kids meal with Mac and cheese, a three piece tender with mashed potatoes, chocolate cake, peach cobbler, a side of potato salad, and side of mashed potatoes and gravy. The total came up to around $63. For the Oxtails, they are served on white rice with a little gravy. Do not expect "Caribbean style" Oxtails. They were ok but tough. I had a few little bones. Their gravy is good. The Mac and cheese was great. The greens have more of a vinegar taste. They are good too but were tough and seems like they were cooked fast. The fried fish have their own unique taste unlike other places and there is no complaints for that. You get two pieces on the dinner. The yams.... very disappointing. They were lacking flavor. The kids ate their food so I know it was good to them. They chocolate cake was good but the peach cobbler I loved the most! Potato salad. It's a no for me. It missed all the marks. It had a taste of "something's missing". The mashed potatoes and gravy were good as well. The cornbread was ok. Not too bland, not too sweet. You have plenty of tables to sit at if you wish. All in all....I would definitely return. I'm not sure if it was a couple of misses this one time or if it's constant, but definitely will return for the Mac and cheese and peach cobbler alone.
The meatloaf was really good. The gravy and mashed potatoes were good. My macaroni and cheese and yams were really good. Cornbread was nice and sweet. Will definitely be back!
OMG! A friend told me about this little gem and we finally got to go there. If you are looking for elegance and ambiance, this is not your choice. BUT if you are looking for some of the best (and I say some because I have not tried EVERY fried chicken place but this is the best I ever had) fried chicken you ever tasted, get there quick!
Beautifully fried, per order, chicken with tasty sides. You absolutely will not leave hungry and your wallet will thank you. The seasoning is fantastic, the crisp on the chicken is great and it arrives piping hot to the table. You can tell they are proud of what they do because the first thing you smell when you go in is NOT grease, it is the spices which means they keep their frying grease fresh and it shows. The real testament is that I had a piece left over and ate it cold...it was almost as good cold as it was hot. If you like fried chicken you have to go.
I ordered take-out from here on a whim and loved everything. The fried chicken is easily the best I've had in while. The collard greens were perfectly cooked, not too salty and not too bland. The portions were generous and the price was extremely reasonable. Definitely added this restaurant to our regular rotation.

Wonderful food!
You WILL NOT be disappointed!
Gr8 service!
Decent prices!
Love that Sr. discount!
Those girls Marcia & LaDonna and Marisa at the counter are way so nice! The others I don't know names. But, service is always good.
I've been going at least two times a week or more; since, I found this unique restaurant (originally, Famous Amos I use to work at) I love they way they have it set up for mostly "to go" fast fresh cooked service; yet, give you the choice to sit there and eat inside, if desired.
When I come I sometimes order our next days meal!
Although, I've tried several meals, the Fish Lunch or Dinner is my favorite and ALL side items are the bomb! Very flavorful without flavoring them with ham or pork! Favorite are the collard greens! Although, I'm not big on FFries... The fries here are specially good; and, I do like them.
Would love to see you open up a few hours earlier and serve Fish n Grits + Scrambled Fluffy Eggs for a special breakfast meal!
I think it may be a great idea!
Yet, I'm sure you all are doing well with the line of people always there when I come... I do think a breakfast deal will broaden you at your greatest potential!
Food was great and very reasonable.. food was fresh … I had ribs my son had fried chicken. MAC AND CHEESE WAS SO GOOD .. my son said who ever COOKING NEED A RAISE 😂
Consistently good tasting fried chicken. Oxtail are good. I need to try the other stuff om menu but I always get the fried chicken.
I LOVE this place! Their food is like going home to Grandma’s house. The Mac n cheese is to die for. Fried chicken is amazing! Everything I have ever ordered is just delicious! If I could eat there every day I would!!! I would be so excited if they added chicken and dumplings to their menu ❤️
