Shut Em Down Authentic Southern Restaurant

The food is amazing. The only thing that I would say would top it was the excellent service. I make it a point to stop by here anytime that in Jacksonvile.

This soul food spot was so good! Everything was seasoned to perfection! The cabbage was delicious. The chicken was delicious! Even the red velvet cake I didn’t take a picture of it, but that was good too! The lady at the counter was super nice! The portions were great! Will be coming back again to try more options! Way better than the casasst ave location! very much night and day! I give this Location 4.5 out of five!

I've read great reviews and all I can say is every thing they say is true. If you have questions about what kind of restaurant it is, it's all in the name, this is not bbq. It's food your grandma made and I want more. I didn't rate the other 2 because I ordered through grub hub and it sucked.

NEVER order the ox tail meal!! I’ve ordered twice and both times were horrible and absolutely no meat, only fat and bones!!! Disgusting!

We’re visiting from Chocolate City (Washington, D.C.) and while passing through Jacksonville, we intentionally searched for Black-owned restaurants to support. This establishment was one of the first to come up.

When we arrived, we noticed that most of the front-of-house staff—including the cashier and a woman who identified herself as one of the owners—appeared to be of European descent. The only Black staff member we saw was working in the kitchen. While this may not matter to everyone, it’s worth noting for those, like us, who are making a conscious effort to support Black-owned spaces specifically.

As for the food—it was solid. We both had the oxtails over rice with collard greens. The rice could’ve been better, but the oxtails and black-eyed peas were definitely enjoyable. I’d give it a strong 7.5 to 8 out of 10 overall. We’d come back and would recommend it to others for the food.

Just a heads up: based on our experience, this establishment may not be Black-owned as listed.

I order the fried chicken with fries and macaroni for pick up, it was okay. I didn’t care for the macaroni at all. I didn’t like the texture nor the taste. There were no utensils

The food is very good. However, they are poor about consistency when they are open. I live out by the airport, and called to place an order. The phone rang but was not answered. There was no indication that they were closed. It is a lon way to drive to find out they ae closed. They should find a way to update their voicemail or the website. It is a poor customer service experience

Has 2 piece fried chicken with Lima beans and collar greens. Side were very small like 2-3 tablespoons each very disappointing. Chicken was good as usual. Counter service was good but getting a refill on sweet tea was next to impossible. Hope the do better next time if there is a next time
