We stopped by for lunch during a road trip. Had mixed feelings when I read the reviews. I must say I have to question the one star reviews. The food was actually good. I had the oxtail which were really tasty along with the greens and Mac. I would definitely come back.

Update - Breakfast: It was weird, but I still liked it! The French toast was just toast with very little French (egg custard); somehow, it was still good. The eggs were seasoned perfectly. The sausage was fried perfectly. However, half the bacon was stuck together & under cooked. And they forgot my MF-ing grits. I almost limped down there to fight somebody, but I was placated by the breakfast potatoes which *looked* under seasoned but still tasted good.
Dinner: I really enjoyed my order! The chicken wings were good; I like them fried a tiny bit harder but that might have been a consequence of the condensation in the to-go box. The yams were good and hit the spot; I don’t have a refined enough palate to determine if they were canned or made fresh, but I loved every bite. The greens and the cornbread were the surprise hit; these were the best I’ve had out here - now, that bar is low, but the food was legitimately good.
I wound up ordering because I was craving grits. They put too much something in the grits. I don’t think it’s too much cheese, which another review assumed. I think it’s too much butter. They weren’t terrible; they just didn’t hit the spot.
The Mac & cheese was actively not good. No flavor at all. It tasted like what I would imagine hippie, west coast Mac & cheese would taste like.
Overall, I’m a fan and will be returning to try out breakfast.

These are very nice men that run this place. I ordered salmon croquettes, grits and eggs. I was surprised to not get toast with my breakfast, but I told myself that I didn’t need it anyway. The food was delicious but the croquettes were kinda cold in the middle. I ate it anyway. I ordered a salad to go but some of the baby spinach leaves look old and wilted and some wet. I would never serve anyone that for $8 and I ate the tomatoes and cucumbers and threw the rest away. Oh well, lesson learned. I would still encourage others to support this business.
Super nice owner and staff. Southern soul food breakfast, lunch, and dinner served all day. Best oxtails, hands-down! The chef is from New Orleans and the food is authentic - I'm coming back to try everything on the menu! ??

I try not to leave unbiased opinions but I have mixed feelings about this place. The service, the food is awesome. Top notch without a doubt. My wish is that they took a little bit more pride in cleaning regularly... everything is covered in grease ans oil residue. In addition there's random stuff everywhere . I found it odd where he pulled the utensils from ... I love supporting black owned businesses but they need to get there s#it together! I saw him dip his fingers in the gravy and that's not okayTo each it's own.
