Typical soul style comfort food. It was pretty good. I'd probably pass next time I'm in the mood for that and just visit Soul Food Bistro.

From the warm geeting upon arrival until the last bite of a delicious meal this was great experience. The food is freshly prepared and is absolutely delicious. The staff members are very pleasant and helpful. I give them a 5+.

I really believe these people served me some old food. Everything was stale. And please don’t ask me how the food taste after it went in my stomach. It went right back into the toilet! I will never eat at this location again! Got my stomach aching!!! Even my cake looked moldy! Thumbs down!!

It’s 8/31/25..Ordered Chicken Dinner with 2 sides, Mac- n-Cheese and Baked Beans. Chicken was way too salty! Macaroni/Cheese was practically just white noodles with blocks of cheese..absolutely no taste, whatsoever. I tried to offer it to my daughter and she laughed, like I was crazy. Also, the wait time for take-out needs to be improved. No one wants to sit there waiting on a 2 piece Chicken Dinner over 30 minutes, while Door Dash, etc are coming and going, like it’s nothing. Your customers who order takeout don’t have time to waste, just like the next person. Maybe it was a bad day.. but just take heed/ pay attention to your customers and what they’re saying.

Had the curry chicken over mashed potatoes with Lima beans and potatoes salad and corn bread, the corn bread was soft and sweet and delicious. Good friendly service and clean store.

I rarely give 5 stars across the board. However, if I could I would drop 7. Food, service, and restaurant was spectacular. Perfectly seasoned and hot just like at ya mama housešŸ‘ŒšŸæthese folks have the playbook on lock. Home cooking. Earth Wind and Fire softly playing in the background took me waaaay back to the kitchen table at my Moms. Try these folks and discover a new favorite..

Pretty good. I did the fried fish meal with collards and potato salad. My son did ribs with Mac n cheese... The greens were under seasoned and my son said the ribs were just ok. The first was good and my son said the Mac n cheese was really good. Overall a decent option for soul food in the area. I would return.
