The Best Soul Food In Tampa We Are Forever Customers Now Yaya!
We waited for over an hour. I got my food, but my friend never received hers. When we arrived, they told us the wait would be 45 minutes, but after an hour and ten minutes, she couldn’t wait any longer and left without her food. The oxtail was okay, but I was really disappointed with the yams—they had an orange flavor that didn’t pair well. Honestly, it wasn’t worth the $40 or the long wait.
Me and my husband was very pleased. Was our first time and definitely will be back.
