Had the smothered chicken and potatoes, spaghetti, bbq beef, Mac and cheese and peach cobbler. Everything tasted bland and old. My dogs didn't even want it and they eat everything. Scared to taste the peach cobbler actually. Not sure if it was just a bad night....

Ok, Soooooooo my auntie loves this restaurant. It's not my jam to be completely honest here . I always like to support a black owned business. Plates are around $20.00 from bbq chicken to pigs feet. Now this I no dollar menu pricing. Then you would expect to get better service than someone working where they have a dollar menu. I'm sad to say ..... most visits this is not the case. I truly don't understand why the attitudes? Just whyyyyyyyy???? It is super clear from the body language, eye rolling, and sarcastic responses a FEW do not like their job. Look-e-here a friendly and kind demeanor goes a looooooong way when you are easily forking over 50.00 for two people. I have had several "service" incidents in the past few months since my aunt has been coming here. One day a gentleman asked to confirm no pork in his greens. The young lady stated " If that's what it says on your order then that's what we do". Another occasion they happen to be closing earlier than normal for that particular day. Doors were locked prior to the scheduled closing time. Food is still visible but they tell say it's 1min past the hour. They say " It's past the hour right ? Well we are closed ! ...turns around and ignores the door. I guess they were in a hurry to go home. That's not the way to treat a regular customer. I will leave this here ..... We must treat members of our community and YOUR PATRONS with kindness. Simply the way they would like to be treated when patronizing a place of business. We have to deal with this type of treatment at other establishments. Why not have your business be a place of refuge. Where we know we will be cared for. I hate to say it but WE THE COMMUNITY are keeping you young ladies employed. So unfriendly service = less customers =no paycheck. Come on ladies we have to do better.

Good soul food selection, as that food style is very limited in San Diego! Nice young ladies work there completing orders.I ate inside while a sports game was on but the TV had an issue!I'll be back!Parking: Plenty of parking in a big lot shared by various businesses.

Wow, I am blown away how good and authentic this soul food is. Came in for the first time today and will definitely be back. You need to come by and check this place out. The ladies were very very nice and they even liked my crash bandicoot shirt.

I have tried this place a few times and the fish is never fresh, it tastes horrible. The macaroni and cheese did not have the flavor of cheese at all, it tasted like chicken noodle soup! The baked chicken was good ... Here, the workers always seem tired and not friendly or professional. I guess I will try somewhere else.

Got chicken gizzards, were rubbery as all get out. Flavor was okay, just need to pressure cook them before frying them up. Greens tasted canned. Mac n cheese too soft, and runny. Hot links and onions okay. I'll still come back to try other offerings. ??

When I say run not walk to this spot !!! We literally just left I’m writing this review while we drive home because it was so good. The atmosphere was so great. We were a little skeptical Because of the plaza but my oh my. We ordered the fish, ribs, baked chicken and all the sides. Soo good. I also tried the yellow cake and German cake sweet but still good. Even my picky 1 yr old tore the ribs up lol. Thanks for the soul food on a lazy Saturday.Kid-friendliness: High chairs available and my child was very loud and no one complained that’s a plus.Wheelchair accessibility: The Dining room is wide enough to accommodate a wheelchair.
