Fried Chicken Wings were legit, so was the potato salad... the candied green beans with sweet potatoes were really good and quite unique! I enjoyed the Fried Catfish + Prawns - nice batter, not at all greasy. Greens were good, no meat in them + I did like the cornbread. Really nice eats + they be showing love, I'll DEFINITELY be back 🤙.

I can’t give a accurate review because I drove to this location on Sunday at 4 PM and they were closed even though their business hours say they are open until 8 PM. They don’t have any social media pages so there’s no way to tell when they are open or when they are closed.

So this is no longer the name of this restaurant. On the sign outside it says Nellie’s.

Today was my first time visiting, and I couldn’t rave how great of a place this was. From the moment that I called the owner answered, and she was polite very knowledgeable of her food and able to answer all of my questions. I placed my order over the phone and headed over. I selected the turkey chops, smothered and gravy and into my surprise. They were amazing. They weren’t overly salty or seasoned like many people do their gravy. The batter was not falling off of the chops. It was pleasant of the ratio to sauce on the meat. For sides, I had the mac & cheese, which had a little bit too much garlic. The classic homestyle would’ve been great with my meal as I also had garlic mashed potatoes, so the power of the garlic from both the potatoes and the mac & cheese was a little overwhelming. I was glad that I also got rice with gravy on the side as it was also really good. Now, baby, let me tell you about this cornbread. It taste just like cake. I literally stood at my counter and ate it Out of the container. I will definitely be going back as I would like to try some of her Basa fried fish and fries so I would love to go back for a lunch

I was craving soul food, and it’s hard to find a quality spot when you’ve had it in the South and on the East Coast, where warmth and good service are just as much a part of the experience as the food itself. I decided to give this place a try because it looked promising and was listed as open online. I called twice hoping to place a pickup order for the first time, but no one answered. Since it was still two hours before closing, I decided to drive there anyway only to find the restaurant closed, even though Google clearly showed it as open.
Really disappointing first experience. I genuinely wanted to support a local business, but reliability and communication are just as important as good food. Unfortunately, this experience didn’t inspire confidence to return so don’t waste your time if it’s your first time.
