Definitely surprised everything was delicious on my plate everything had flavor only thing was the yams needed to be a little sweeter and more butter. Mac n cheese was perfect enough salt n cheese greens and cornbread dressing were 🔥 The peach cobbler dessert was my only issue it had way to much nutmeg. But I will definitely be back just will skip the peach cobbler next time worth my drive from the valley!

I will never come back to this place that made me wait a half hour for cold food! My child's grilled cheese was the only good thing that was warm when I got home and I live five minutes away! How can this place brags about being in the Food Network and serve me watery stone cold peach cobbler!!! Do better but don't worry I will never be back!

Here in San Francisco from Mississippi.Very great customer service. Service was extremely quick and employees at window exceptionally kind. Was ecstatic about getting soul food finally to be let down. I ordered fish, “yams”, Mac and cheese and cornbread. Food extremely bland, yams not sweet at all but overall great customer service.

I only do reviews when I’ve had too many bad experiences. So let me say there food is good or at least what I get which is the southern fried chicken meal with dressing and macaroni. Now today 03/13/2022 I called to place an order at 6:18pm I was told they stop doing orders over the phone at 6:30 but I had until 6:30 to come to the window and order. I get in line at 6:25 and the young lady with pink rubber bands in her hair is taking an order and sees myself, my fiancé and 1 other person in line BEFORE 6:30, exactly at 6:30 we get to the window and the young lady tells me they not taking orders no more…I’m like you saw us in line before 6:30 and repeated what I was told over the phone and obviously she could care less!!! Customer service needs to definitely be addressed with management. This why some people don’t like to patronize black owned businesses because customer service lacks BIG TIME! And this is the 3rd occasion where I’ve received horrible customer service so I’m done patronizing this business. Lastly get a second phone cause half the time nobody answers.

Excellent Soul Food. Tastes almost as good as Mommas. No parking lot, limited street parking. On Sunday dinner buffet starts at 1pm. Arrive early to get best seat or your left waiting in a long line for others to finish. Abundant food supply and variety of choices for all levels of what you might be craving. Decent staff, owner very approachable and kind.
