When I say I had a great experience on a Friday at 5:30pm. My food was very good. I ordered the Mac n Cheese, yams, and conch all fresh and very satisfying.

From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and full of soul. The soulful music set the perfect tone, creating a vibe that felt both uplifting and comforting—exactly what you want from a great soul food restaurant.

The service was impressively quick, and our waitress was incredibly kind and attentive throughout our visit. One thing I do wish we had known beforehand is that gratuity is automatically included, but it wasn’t a dealbreaker—just something that would be nice to mention up front. Also, you can only order a limited number of drinks at a time, which was a bit unexpected, but the staff handled everything smoothly.

The restaurant is family-friendly, with a TV playing a movie that kept the atmosphere relaxed and enjoyable. And the food—absolutely amazing. Everything was seasoned perfectly, full of flavor, and served in hefty portions that left us more than satisfied. The variety of choices and combinations made it easy for everyone at our table to find something they loved.

Overall, this spot is a gem—great food, great vibes, and great service. We’ll definitely be back!

The wait was long for a party of 7 with only maybe 4 people was in the restaurant. We waited 30 minutes and they were not busy at all. It took the food forever to come out and the waiter was not the best at all. The mystery drink always hit though

The took so long to make my order two dasher cancelled and left. It was literally 8 mins from my hotel. When it finally came the Mac was really good. The grilled snapper was the worst fish I ever had. It was flavorless and dried out. The greens were really good BUTTTT they had so many bones I almost choked 4 times. They need to fix that before they have a lawsuit.The best thing was the drink but not worth $9. I paid $43 for everything.

Yesterday we had a total of 5 separate orders. 3 of us ordered yams, two of us ordered grilled chicken breast and received chicken fajita. All five had greens. I received hard chicken fajita and the other one was moist, 2 of us had tasteless yams chunks and 1 had yams that looked like mash potatoes. They were good. All of our greens were tough and had way too much salt. The menu I saw stated 16.99 with 2 sides. I paid $23.13 and I was charged for the greens. I was highly disappointed because this place came highly recommended and my taste buds were waiting for this delicious meal. 3 things on my plate and not one was good. I have been trying to call since last night and no one has picked up the phone yet.

Me and my husband drove 1hr to come to have dinner for his bday. We walked in around 5:55 waited few minutes; Finally the lady came up to the front just to tell us the Dine-In is closed. How is that possible if the restaurant closes at 9pm. Very disappointing.
