Great soul food that has been missing in the south bay for a long time. Tasty food, huge portions, and a warm and super friendly staff.

My husband had the ribs, which were so juicy, tender and flavorful. I had the Mac and cheese, which was decent, black eyed peas, which were saltier than I like but still good, the rice and gravy, taste like my Granny's so good! Yams, amazing! And greens, I like mine a little more spicy, but they were very tender and flavorful. Looking forward to trying more on our next visit. Also not over priced and very nice portion sizes.

Great food! Friendly staff with a nice, clean restroom for customers. A bit on the pricey side but it’s a unique experience in a great location that was definitely worth it.

Everything was delicious....except the sweet potato pie. I tried my hardest to appreciate it but it ended up tasting more like pumpkin pie instead.

Lousy customer service. If you’re in the take out line, don’t be surprised if anyone is allowed to walk in front of you. It’s my 2nd and last time patronizing this place.

Visited 21MAR2024 - Yes, Lawd! Since this was my first time visiting. LuLu, Jackie's sister, explained how things work. Ordering and paying are done online using a QR code at your table. LuLu explained that no one would come to the table, except to bring your order. She also pointed out where the leftover containers were located if needed.I ordered the two meat with two sides plate. I selected fried chicken and fried fish for my two meats. I ordered collard greens and black-eyed peas for my sides. Two whole chicken wings and two fish filets along with the sides came out in no time. The wings were good. I didn't specifically ask to have them fried hard, the way I like my wings. I could've added a note in my online order. I won't make an issue since the wings were done. I'm not sure what type of fish was served. I meant to ask but forgot. The fish was fried right though. The greens and black-eyed peas were cooked the way I cook them. I was in the area for work. I'll definitely be back if I'm in the area again. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pics.
