“Best BBQ Pork Sandwich ever!!“

“Absolutely great food! Had the fried catfish, mash potatoes, homemade gravy, and corn on the cob. Friendly service, too.“

“I really enjoyed the Nola vibes in the seating area on the side of the building. I was worried that the cajun seasoning on the tots would be spicy but it wasn't, and they were very good. I also had the chicken sliders without the hot sauce, and they were also good, but I wish they'd had more slaw on them. The Theves sweet tea was soooo good, I wish they sold it in gallon size!“

“best chicken I Have ever had. loved it! Thanks“

“Food was great! Service was impressive! Madelyn was very good and always smiling.we love the pot roast and steak.large selection of desert.highly recommend.“

“Came here with a group of 4 on a Friday around 530. We were seated and attended to right away. The service was nice and the food was really good. We actually found that going alacart was cheaper then getting a combo on the menu. My mom shared a 1/2 pound of shrimp, 1/2 pound of green muscles, we added corn and sausage and like 2 ordered of garlic bread, plus we each had a margarita and our total was like 60 dollars as opposed to one combo with no drinks, and no garlic bread is like 60 dollars. Anyhow the flavors were so good we tried the butter garlic on the shrimp and the stinken sauce flavor on the muscles and everything was delicious! I recommend this place because it's also really close to (driving close that is) the long Beach exchange/ hanger for some walking around after you are nice and stuffed.“

“I just ordered from Dante Fried Chicken Ghost Kitchen in Koreatown, and wow the chicken was beautifully piping hot and incredibly juicy. You can tell they've brined it just right, the buttermilk soak really shines through. Definitely one of the most tender bites of fried chicken I've had. It lives up to its buzz!“

“found out this was basically right across the street from our house so my dad and i just went there today for dinner…..food was amazing, definitely will go again“

“I love the platanos and platano de empanadas, is my go to! Pupusas are great. Curtido is great, made the traditional way! I recommend you call in to place your order. Is not that they are slow is just the food is great they get tons of orders. I love that its clean inside too. Yeah its located in not the best street but never been a problem for me. I recommend this place!“

“Good Food. Yall. PEACH COBBLER Is Ready To Die For.“

“Happy Hour prices and all day long.“

“Food was great. Server was friendly. Food came out fast. Check was big but hey what do you expect with bbq. I would go back.“

“Great Soul Food. Large portion of food at inexpensive prices. One plate can feed 2 people depending on what you order.“

“Good food, sometimes a little too salty; especially on the turkey chops, my favorite. Also, whoever answers the phone to take orders, I know, make sure you have your order ready, but he was rushing me off the phone. I had to call back to make sure he got my order correct. Anyway, the food is still good.“

“Enjoyed the jambalaya, brisket and catfish and shrimp.“

“Got the fried chicken dinner plate! What else??!! Side salad and soup delicious, biscuits awesome as was everything else! Anthony, our server, was the best, very attentive! Can't wait to go back! Also had the bosenberry punch and pie! Deeelicious!! 💜💜💜💜“

“I love the food here. Their chicken is one of the best in my opinion.

The service is poor just for the fact that they are always understaffed. I went on my lunch break for a quick meal and there was only one employee handling the drive thru and customers that were dining in.

I drove thru so can't really say much about the dine in atmosphere but it looked nice inside regardless.“
