Finally came here after a lot of friends recommended it to me. The interior was super cute and cozy! The seating looked very comfortable and stylish and the atmosphere was warm. Upon entering, we were greeted by staff and the line of people were all friendly. I got the meatloaf dinner with a side of ribs and green beans and Mac & cheese. It was an absolutely delicious and satisfied the soul food craving I had. Every single person working there was kind and happy. I’ve never been to the South but this what I imagine southern hospitality is like! I felt welcomed and everything was 10/10. I can't wait to come here again and dine in next time :)

Everyone there is so sweet, and the food is so delicious. Made us feel right at home. We were so happy — and honestly there’s not that many restaurants where just thinking of it makes us smile! Highly recommend.

Service and atmosphere was good. Love to see how the building has evolved throughout the years. The greeter was fantastic. My family ordered 2 Cornish hen dinners, side of cabbage and side of potato salad. Both dinners had mac and yams and the meals came with cornbread. We also ordered some icecream...everything came to about $75. The Cornish hens were not seasoned and cooked to our liking. I like my meat more tender and browned to have more color too it. The mac was ok but needed more flavor and cheese. The yams were ok but needed more sugar and cooked longer for me. The cabbage was slightly raw/crunchy. I would have liked to mix the collards and cabbage but they said they do not do that. The cornbread has definitely improved over the years. The potato salad dressing was good but the potatoes were basically raw. For the price, food needs to be better. The dinner plate can easily feed 2 but after trying to eat my 1st serving i just threw the rest in the garbage. I wish I went with my gut and not ordered.

Walked in here and felt like home. The older lady at the door has a beautiful aura that just hugs you. Excellent food and the portions are excellent. I had enough to eat dinner and left overs the next day. Her banana pudding is amazing as well. 10/10

I love to support a black business. The fried chicken was nasty. No seasoning, the sweet potatoes you can tell they was out of the can. I got the chicken dinner. I asked can I buy a piece of fish. $14.00. I didn’t get it. The fish look like it was the frozen whiting. I went Sunday at 2:00 pm. They open at 1:00 pm on Sunday. Don’t understand why the food was not good. Came from a different state to taste there food. Over priced.
The service and atmosphere were amazing. It is very homey and gives you that family feel. Food smells amazing as soon as you enter the door. The food tastes great and freshly made. Fish is made to order. I side eyed the green tarter sauce, but when I tried it, it was necessary for every bite. It's a cute date spot. You can talk and not struggle to hear over the music. Will definitely return.

My mom and I used to go here frequently, not so much lately. The service is always good. The girly's are awesome. The food is a bit different well alot different, and for about $30 a plate, that's no good. The mac & cheese just isn't it, and for a soul food place, that's really what carries you. The yams are canned but edible. We went last weekend and she LEGIT gave me curry chicken and tried to charge me for the white rice. I couldn't believe it. Being as the Mac was off again, we probably won't head back. However, we do come from mass and will try other options in the Hartford, Veron, I believe area. The service is A1 their amazing, but the price doesn't compare to the food.

I had there, mac and cheese, fried chicken and yams. Mac and cheese was ok. I feel it was missing that cheese pull. The fry chicken definitely had a good crunch and very flavorful yams as well. It was ok for me.

This sweet southern style restaurant is historic at its finest. You are greeted with photos of Family. The menu is exquisite, everything looks beyond delectable! I could taste this food with my eyeballs! Fried fish, Black eye peas, collard greens, cornbread included. And OMG, the dessert section .. somebody's grandma is in that Kitchen. The sweet potatoes pie, OMG. Someone please send a slice to Ms. LaBelle with coffee. ☕? Great staff, the prices beyond fair and their new inside dining is all that but I took "to go", it was packaged with love and quality hot sauce for the fish.. Food is like sitting at table with my Grandmother Ethel. Hey folks, Wear some jeans and a nice shirt/blouse and treat your sweetie to a night here. I promise you will return. Excellent eatery! Just go in, and fill your Soul with this great southern food. Yummy!
