I think you have some white people trying to cook like black people and they just can't do it. The Lima beans come out of a can. This is not how we cook our Lima beans. Only thing they got going good for them is the chicken.

My bus would arrive in 58 minutes, so I'd get lunch here; ordered many times through Door Dash. Since it was 10:51, I waited across the street in the little patch of shadow to wait until 11am when they open. I went up to the doors to find them locked. Checked my phone 11:01, okay, I'll wait a couple of minutes...nothing. Too bad, I was looking forward to a great lunch.
EDIT: I got a Chicken Snack& Go from Wawa but they didn't have any seating outside. So I went BACK to SED to get a couple of sides to go with it, eat and wait for the bus. Ordered Collards and mashed potatoes) gravy. I asked if the mashed were from real potatoes, the nice young lady said yes. Okay...the only truth to the collards were they were green. Absolutely no flavor, liquid the color of water, nothing in it at all. And the mashed potatoes? From potatoes that were boiled to long and probably sat in the water. Not a dab of butter or milk or sour cream, nothing. Just watery potatoes with no taste. I refuse to waste energy and words describing the gravy! WHAT HAPPENED HERE! ?

When I got out of church I was looking for a place to eat that had soul food..I went to this place and I was skeptical because I didn't know how the food was. But omg I am so mad at myself because that food really SHUT ME DOWN after eating. It was so GOOD I will be going back.. Richard the cook needs to continue to cook very well..I am very happy and full ?? ?

Chicken was super hot and fresh. Soda is bottled so ask for a cup of ice (upcharge) if you want. May or maynot go back.

Had the smothered chicken, which was delicious. With mac and cheese, mash potatoes and cabbage. Cabbage could use a little more seasoning. Also, the sweet tea could use a little more sugar but still was good. I give this place an 8 out of 10.
