Sooo deliciousGreat portionsI had the shrimp and grits and let me tell you I would go back just for that!!The shrimp was a nice size perfectly seasoned and the grits with the cheese was perfection Soo goodMy mother had the fried fish and she isn’t a fan of fried but said it was goodThe breadstick that came with the order was delicious tooMy only disappointment was the dessertI ordered the banana puddingIt wasn’t Bad just not as good as I hoped since the other food was soo goodI will definitely be returningParking: Parking is a little trickyIf you go on a weekday when there’s less traffic you should be fineI parked on the street a couple of feet away from the locationThere isn’t a big sign and it isn’t a big restaurant so you may miss itThere’s no parking lot so you have to get the closest spot on the streetYou shouldn’t have to pay as you’re only picking up food for less than an hour

The best way to get your meal is to call in and order ahead 30min prior, because most likely they would be sold out or a long line will form everything excellent here great food staff and people. Used to be able to eat inside before Covid but they have now how stuck to take out only.

This place makes amazing food. Some of the best I've had. I dream of the fried fish with grits and turkey gravy. The pork chops, rice and turkey gravy, candied yams and corn bread I had today were exquisite. They even threw in some kind of apple empanada that was delicious. Order by phone and be ready to wait about 30 minutes. There is no seating that I could see. It's to go only.

This place used to be REALLY good during the pandemic, but the prices keep going up while the quality seems to be going down. The 2 meats with 2 sides combo used to be $20. Now it's up to $27 with less food. Not to mention, I'm tired of them substituting butter beans and black eye peas for the red beans and rice. Nobody eats that and last time I was there others were complaining too. Bring back the red beans and rice. Don't get me wrong, the fish and chicken are still tasty however it's just not really worth spending almost $30 for take-out when you can go sit down somewhere.

Like going to this place the food is excellent. I was off 1 day during the week and was able to get something other than the food that they have on a weekend. Grilled shrimp and was good. Street parking is an issue, but driving around trying to find a parking space as well. It's worth the food that you order.

The food here is amazing! The chicken, the Mac, and the sweet yams all had such good flavor. Definitely order ahead so you don’t have to wait as long - it’s a very popular spot. Can’t wait to go back!

This food always hit! As someone who cooks very well myself, I have to say this food is authentic and flavorful.I usually get the catfish platter (even the fries are good) and my son gets the wings, which he loves.I have had the catfish with two sides as well and the greens are so delicious! I also love their version of banana pudding, those crunchy cookies makes the banana pudding so enjoyable.Highly recommend if you are in the mood for some real soul food!

I began getting take out here when they were at the church. Always friendly service and it was convenient to my job at 32nd St. My go to was the fried shrimp basket. The portion was on the large side and the shrimp were always light, crispy and well seasoned. I hope the quality is the same at this new location. Congrats on the brick & mortar.

If you are looking for Southern Soul food this is the spot. Everything was seasoned and cooked fresh. Large portions too. Don't waste your time going anywhere else. High five ?? Great job team!
