Bajas Southern Cooking catered our event tonight and it was amazing. Everything arrived on time, hot and ready to serve. The wings were crispy and full of flavor - definitely a favorite, the mac and cheese was creamy and rich, and the cornbread was delicious with the perfect texture. There was plenty of food for everyone and people kept going back for seconds.
The whole experience was easy from start to finish. The food was clearly made with care and everyone kept talking about how good it was. We will definitely be ordering from them again.

I decided to give you all a try on Saturday 9/6/25. I arrived and called the number. After attempting a few times I finally got through and the staff who answered was very nice and shared with me how ordering works. I had to park well away from the entrance but she assured me after taking my order that she would come to me with my food and for payment. The food took about 25 minutes so I suggest calling ahead. I ordered the fried chicken dinner, it comes with three sides as one is automatically rice. So I ordered yellow being you have a choice of either yellow or white. I also ordered mac n cheese and collard greens! I ordered potato salad as an additional side and one of their signature drinks! I believe it was peach lemonade, it was tasty. The chicken was fried fresh and delicious however just fried a bit too hard. The mac n cheese was cheesy and would’ve been better had it been served hot, it was merely warm but it was “good” too however cut back on some of the velveeta. The greens were tasty but had a hint of pepper spice’ however it wasn’t overpowering. The rice and gravy was prepared well. I enjoyed my meal but the reason for my four stars is due to the potato salad. Sadly it wasn’t southern and possibly store bought! It was overly creamy seemly tasting exactly how macaroni salad does and it had no eggs. So imagine that creamy base with potatoes instead of pasta. Wasn’t nasty just not traditional and different. I was extremely disappointed being this is an authentic soul-food restaurant. Surely someone there can make homemade potato salad and the southern big back kind our people are use to. So yes i removed a star from it being that specific dish is a staple to us just like fried chicken! Nonetheless i will be back and looking to try one of their many other sides being they have a lot to chose from and a large menu also specials. This restaurant was busy and customers were happy so that’s always a plus when you see that during your first try.
So overall from the pleasant staff to the food I definitely recommend. I’ll be back”””

The food was really good. We especially enjoyed the oxtails, smothered turkey wings, yams, and cornbread. We will definitely return to try more items.

The food is great! Staff is very friendly
I ordered the Meatloaf Dinner through DoorDash because it showed black-eyed peas in both the photo and description. That was the main reason I chose it. Instead, they gave me collard greens without any notice or option to choose. The meat was dry, the mac & cheese was mushy, and overall it felt like a low-effort, overpriced meal. Very disappointed — first and last time ordering from here.

The good:
Food is 100% legit soul food, well cooked and super tender meats: Fried chicken, fried turkey wings, fried chicken wings, fried pork and fried gizzards are spot on 👌, nice juicy and soft boneless ribs.
The bad:
We were in the Gulfport area visiting friends and decided to order here based on friend recommendation. Don't drive here thinking to order in person. Call and place your order at least 15 min in advance. They have no store front and you have to wait sitting in your car. Imagine a 100F hot summer afternoon with no shades in the parking lot.
The ugly:
We ordered $80 worth of takeout for 3 ppl and they didn't include any silverware or napkins nor did the person taking order all if we needed them. 3 of us ended up having to use hands to eat everything including messy side dishes and wipe clean on the grass... since we were sitting outside listening to some music.
So food: 100%. Everything else, could be improved upon.
Incredible food, HUGE portions. Quirky curbside delivery service adds to the charm and the awesome staff is very helpful to first-timers. We’ll definitely be back.
Been going here for years, love this location. Love soul food. If you do as well, I highly recommend trying this spot out! You won’t be disappointed!

The food is good but service sucks. They need a better system in place for orders and for bringing orders out to cars.
