So I ordered fried pork chops (smothered) with a bed of rice yams, fried okra, corn bread and pound cake! Pork chops were good 8/10, corn bread was terrible 0/10. Rice-ehh it’s rice. Gravy was definitely not homemade it was brown crazy from the pack with added water 2/10. I was so excited about the yams to just be disappointed!! They tasted like cinnamon water.. literally disgusting -2/10(negative 2). The pound cake also disappointing because why was it heated up for one and I think y’all left the cake out of the pound! Like I’m pissed I spent $50 on two plates subs two desserts just to be able to eat the rice and pork chops!! Oh yeah I forgot about the soggy fried okra! Man that food was so disgusting and disappointing that I don’t even wanna drive by the restaurant because I’m going to have flashbacks of how nasty the food tasted and of how much money I wasted!! Service was excellent though!! So if you want a place with great service but food that you wouldn’t even feed your animal then this is the place for you!! CAN I HAVE MY FREAKING $50 back?!?

Most humble down to earth people I ever known. The food was amazing, cooked to order, the place was packed but they were very efficient taking orders while waiting on the line. The wait was worth it. The place was very clean, hey if you go to a restaurant and the bathroom is clean as this one is, that is sign off cleanliness and order. bless you guys and may your restaurant prosper and multiply.

I found this gem with a simple google search while in Montgomery and they did not disappoint. This is my new favorite restaurant. The staff is great and the food is amazing. Everything is seasoned just right every time. Catfish and whole wings and that mac and cheese CHEF's

The young man in the counter was educated, polite and very downright friendly, like a good southern man, unfortunately the food did not match his character, or better yet, his origins. The place lacked that soulful “I’m home” type of atmosphere that goes hand in hand with what soul food is all about. It has a lot of room for creativity and improvement.

Absolutely delicious food right here! I was visiting Montgomery and looking for collards and fried chicken and THIS was the spot! Wish only that I lived locally and I'd be a weekly customer. Also, the owner has a wonderful, vivacious spirit, and provides warm hospitality to all who come through the door.

This place is a hidden jewel. Dont allow the location steer you away. The service is so awesome and professional and pleasant and greeted with not only a smile but also with love!!! Love the owner energy.First time having ox tails and yesssssss they were soooooo good & tender & very tasty.? The gravy was good. I had catfish a few days before the ox Tails & yummy Also. The portions are big Also. Definitely can't eat it all at one time. LoL The cornbread was my absolute favorite. It's better than the muffins but they was good Also. The cabbage has a small kick so if you're not a spicy person don't get the cabbage. The Dressing was good & moist. Didn't need the cranberry sauce but it was good with & without it. The Mac & Cheese was actually cheesy & homemade.... not frozen or made with cheap cheese like I've seen at other restaurants. The Yams OMGoodness theyre so good. So mad I didn't get an extra side of them. My Guy had the porchops w/gravy & he liked them. Okra was yummy. THE catfish was a large portion and fried perfect. A lil too much seasoning for my liking but very good Also.Everything was literally good! 5stars for me both times.Go Try It Now!!!!!
