The food was very good and all the employees were polite and welcoming. The place is very noisy so hard to heard people at your own table at times. I would definitely recommend it to others.

Comfort food at its best! Tiny place in China Town with big flavor! Don’t come here if you’re on a diet. I had the fried chicken with mashed potatoes. Yum! My friend had the ribs and grits. Before serving the ribs and dunked in gravy and then fried. ? Go by and check it out. Be sure to have an empty stomach and stretchy pants ?

I ordered to-go. I was honestly baffled at how terrible the food was. This place had been recommended to me and had good reviews! I'm not a picky eater, and this is the first time I didn't just eat something because I paid for it and didn't want to waste food. I tried a bite of everything and regretfully threw it all in the trash. The food had no texture or flavor other than mush, salt, and grease. Not for me.

I was excited to eat here for the first time, and left very disappointed. It was expensive for how bland the food was. The chili and mac n cheese were super watery and flavorless. Tri tip was not savory and was kind of cold. Staff is attentive but the food really soured my experience.

If god gave me one wish it would be to eat here again. The corn bread, amazing. The sausage smoky and flavorful. And the lamb shank… the things I would do to eat this lamb shank again are too much to even mention here. Trust me try the lamb.

This was my first visit to this establishment. To be honest, the lady that waited on us. She was very informative and friendly. But, the food was so-so. My fries were cold and not cooked completely. My chicken wings did not have enough seasoning. My mac-n-cheese, although cheesy a bit on the salty side. They need a new cornbread recipe. My cornbread had no flavor, not buttery and so thin. Don't even get me started on my husband warm potatoe salad

Service was fast and server was attentive. We were greeted and seated right away. Our food was quickly brought out to us and it was delicious!! I got the bbq combo which I highly recommend. It was my first time eating here so I wanted to a get sample of their bbq. The sausage was snappy and had a bite to it which I prefer. Tri tip was good as well but my favorite is probably the ribs. My friends really liked the Mac n cheese but it wasn't my favorite. The beans were really good. I'm usually a huge fan of cornbread but I did feel like mines was a bit cold. Felt like it was cooked and sitting there for awhile. It would have been better served warm. Overall, this is a great hidden gem and I would return to try other items. Recommend you try it as well if you're into authentic bbq and soul food.
