“Great food & service. We stopped here after a cruise and could not have been more pleased.“

“Every time that I go, it’s what I expect. That is some good food for a good price. No one ever said this was the place of spectacular southern hospitality, just that they provide food. I mind my business, get what I need, fill my belly, and have a good day. I have never been met with a nasty attitude because I don’t go there looking for people to be overly cheerful and friendly. I respect them, they respect me, I get my food, and I’m out. Imma keep going there for breakfast because I like it and because they’re black.“

“Just chose to stop in fresh off a Carnival cruise. We decided to ignore the reviews and give it a try. I don’t know why people are so critical, food was hot, fresh and just what we were looking for. As far as timeliness, we don’t do fast food! If it isn’t prepared with love I don’t want it, and that requires time.“

“been here several time this year the food and service is awesome“

“Flavor is on-point! Ribs and BBQ chicken is fire. BBQ sauce is unique and delicious.

Definitely coming back soon for round two.

I stupidly got a side salad as one of my two sides. Who goes to a BBQ place and gets a side salad?!

Anyway, seems a random spot, but food is so damn good.

A few stars off for atmosphere because they could use a redecoration. It wouldn't cost much and it would make the place much more attractive. Then again, I came to eat, not to sit in a pretty environment.“

“Been coming to Arlenes for years, and I have never, ever been disappointed. If you want a great home cooked meal, and don't mind waiting. Arlene is your place!“

“Let me start with THIS FOOD WAS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!! Im from GA so to have some Real southern cooked food tasted like home. I only got video for 2 of our plates, but the rest of our family ordered & we all loved it. The restaurant was small, so it's more of an in & out type restaurant. We took an uber there & even though it didn't seem like an area we needed to be in as tourists, we felt right at home. I believe it was a busy time for them as they were transitioning from breakfast to lunch, bc the wait was kinda long, which didn't matter once we tasted our food & I now want to go back for breakfast. While waiting I noticed a memory mural on the wall & it was beautiful! And shows why this food was so good & tasted like the sweet loving feeling of home, bc her family carried out her dream with her restaurant & delicious menu. I wish many blessings upon everyone here & my family thanks you!“

“No butter on the toast...like seriously that bread be dry...I like them for real but the food is inconsistent I don't know if it's different cooks on different days or what because you have to stand outside for your food so it's no way to tell whose “

“Honestly I was skeptical about his place being a ‘ghost kitchen’ but the food was fresh and delicious.. I feel if you order earlier in the day the Mac and cheese would be creamier but I ordered the fried catfish it’s crispy and well seasoned and the yams were on point and the collards was just right. Honestly would order from them again but might opt out for the Mac and cheese for something else because I like my Mac like creamy and cheese but other than that I can’t complain for ordering from a ‘ghost kitchen’ and the sweet potato pie was a chefs kiss would definitely recommend trying this place I was sketched out from the address and map view but I door dashed and everything was great“

“The fried turkey wings with lemon pepper seasoning was amazing. The yams were delicious, but the greens were just okay. The waitress made really great recommendations. Everyone enjoyed their food, although they ordered straight off the menu, chicken, steak, and shrimp. I asked the waitress for advice. They all ordered the mystery mix drink while I ordered the waitress choice and mine tasted better. Overall, it was a great dining experience. You won't be disappointed.

Parking: They have two parking lots.“

“Liver n Grits the awesome.“

“The lady in there was VERY VERY UNDERSTANDING! I told her how my wife was allergic to chicken and do you know she pulled out fresh grease to fry her ribs in!! WE WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK TO SEE HER! OH AND I DIDN'T GET A PICTURE OF THE SEAFOOD RICE AND IT WAS VERY FLAVORFUL DEFINITELY TRY IT AND THE STRAWBERRY CRUNCH CAKE! ** CHEFS KISS** CAN YOU SAY FLAVOR BOMB!!“

“Average breakfast . I had grits, fried eggs and sausage with biscuits. The tea was good and southern sweeet. The young waiter, Blow, was extremely nice and calm. He wasn’t your typical waiter, but his style worked for a small soul food restaurant. The other male waiter/bus boy moved at super human speed. The place was very clean and definitely is a favorite of the locals. It was my first time visiting. I will definitely try it if I am ever back there.“

“The food was excellent the ribs was tender the was delicious and I can’t say anything bad about the cashier because she was very helpful friendly funny and she made us feel welcomed very efficient and always smiling no matter what day I come“
