I love this place, they’re always consistent and everything is fresh. I usually get the fried fish, collard greens and mac & cheese. I always get a sliced lemon with my plate, that small addition is really the chef’s kiss. That fish is seasoned and fried to perfection and they use the GOOD cheese on the mac & cheese ?
The first time I came it was perfect. I order the catfish dinner with Mac & cheese and collard greens. Every time since the 1st time has been a disappointment. The catfish is so rubbery it’s not edible. It’s like leftover fish that was left in a microwave an extra minute too long. It’s been 3 times now so so I know it’s not just a fluke. Won’t be returning. It’s too expensive for only the sides to be edible.
Oh my God! It tastes like Christmas at grandmas house in Georgia. THIS is what I’ve been looking for. I’m new from the east coast & soul food is hard to come by in this city. I had the catfish, greens & beans, unfortunately they were out of Mac n cheese, but judging by the catfish & greens I already know the Mac b cheese will not disappoint. I’ll be back every weekend for sure.
