The food was amazing! Catfish was fresh and delicious! The cornbread was great and I normally don't like cornbread! Service was great and cook was 73 years old from the Alabama! It's a must try for soul food!

Great bbq and fried chicken but as a warning you probably just want to order to go. Very limited interior with only 4 tables.

Our team called in and ordered lunch today and collectively we ordered The 3pc Fish Lunch Special with potato salad and some bomb baked beans, 3pc Wings with fries and the Mac and Cheese with some Cornbread and we were blown away. The Mac and Cheese was seriously really good. The FISH though... FIRE! Nice and juicy, crispy and not overly breaded. The pieces were pretty big! The wings were good! New spot for sure.

True soul food! The catfish and shrimp were so good! But also the collards and Mac & cheese… it was all good.

If you're in Palm Springs and looking for genuine southern bbq/soul food, this is your spot. Yes, it's definitely a hole-in-the-wall, but the food is legit, and the owner and staff provide top notch, friendly service. Our group ordered the fried catfish (huge portion), pork ribs, and tri-tip. All were outstanding. Beans are homemade and excellent. Ditto for the cornbread. Come here hungry, leave satisfied.

Charles "Charlie" Brown is the principal character of the comic strip Peanuts, syndicated in daily and Sunday newspapers in numerous countries all over the world. Depicted as a "lovable loser," Charlie Brown is characterized as a person who frequently suffers, and as a result, is usually nervous and lacks self-confidence. He shows both pessimistic and optimistic attitudes: on some days, he is apprehensive to even go outside because his day might just be spoiled, but on others, he hopes for the best and tries as much as he can to accomplish things. Charlie Brown's catchphrase is "good grief".

Everything is wonderful. I had the fried chicken wings. They were light, crispy, and not at all greasy. Entrees are cooked to order so you have to wait but it wasn’t long.The sides are delicious with generous portions. I don’t eat red meat, but the friendly and helpful staff told me which ones I shouldn’t order.There are only 4 tables but I was the only customer at lunch on a Thursday.Like another review said: a hidden gem.

It was a little tricky to find, but I was dead set on getting here. I spent 4 years living in the south and woke up this morning with a craving for some soul food.When I first walked in, my first impression was that this place could use a remodel.I ordered beef ribs for myself and the tri tip for my friend and 4 sides with 2 large portions of corn bread.1st, the rib and tri tip. Wow! It's was like finding money in your pocket. Tender. Juicy. Flavorful.Side: blk eye peas =100. Soft, served hot and flavorful.Colard green = 80. Seems to miss fat. Ham hock or bacon. It was Californiaized.Mac cheese = 100. Not overcooked moosh like most places.Potato salad =100. I can tell this was not store-bought manufactured. It was perfectly dressed.Portions here were huge.Oh, and the cooks and servers all need to be models or have an only fans page. They were all freaking ?
