You guys gave us the best meal ever. Smothered pork chops with hot and sour tender, Mac and cheese was so nasty. But my favorite was the cabbage. My mom’s from Philly and needed one great dish yo go home and tell her friends about, the ribs did it. She was praising them the entire time. Bravo to your staff.
The food was good, service was good, helpings were a little small is my only issue. And sometimes they are larger. Never know lol I used to go to a similar place on Blanding...its not nearly as good . I like shut em down better.

The food was okay. I expected some tasty, satisfying dose of flavorful soul food and got "meh" instead. Nothing bad to say. I wouldn't order again because I was looking for grandma's "soul" food. Ordered two of the family fried chicken, family meat loaf, green beans, rice, Mac n cheese, potato salad and a drink that I thought was a family drink and wasn't. The sides don't match portions for family size.

This place is excellent, the honey drippers are perfect, the collard greens are seasoned just right, the fried chicken is decent, and the cornbread is moist, making it one of the better soul food spots in Jacksonville.

I was visiting from Denver. Googled best fried chicken in Jacksonville. Shut em popped up.
Excellent fried chicken. Great flavor and very juicy. The fried chicken was cooked at order so expect a 7-10 minute waits for food. At least we did. Highly recommend. They offer military discount. No fountain drinks, just bottles.

The food here is made to order and is some of the best soul food I've ever had. I came here to get some fried chicken from here right before they closed, and their quality never wavered even then! If you're in the mood for some comfort food, then you've come to the right place!

The service was nice, and the fried food was great. The sides are good too. But I don't think the meatloaf is real meat.

The fish was good. But the grits were not all that good. The grits were not fresh and it took away from the flavor of the fish. The sweet tea was very good. I will eat here again to try other meals.

The food was very dry and portions was small. No meat on the oxtails and everything tasted funny. Not giving soul food at all.
