I’m not going to lie . Everything was awful . I don’t even see how this place is open. If I could give this place a 0 start I would . I ate here today for the 1st time & I tried them because some of the reviews was good but it has to be ether the staff making they own reviews or people that just grew up on nasty food. I got fried chicken , Mac & cheese , collards , yams & a deviled egg with a sweet tea . My total was $17 and it was not worth my money at all . The chicken was not seasoned at all & very hard , the Mac and cheese was terrible it had a very hard crinkly top coat of cheese and middle was soft but it literally had no taste at all, just hard and plain . The collard was nasty it taste like water and sugar . No seasoning what so ever on the greens it literally tasted like they boils it in water and sugar and that’s it. The yams was just yams from a can . Nothing special taste just like the can yams taste . The deviled egg was good . It’s the only thing I liked on my plate . & the sweet tea was terrible taste like bitter unsweetened tea with a pinch of sugar maybe idk it wasn’t good at all . I should of just went up there for a egg honestly it was the only thing good on my plate . I would never recommend this place to anyone . 0 out of 10 . I’m never going back here again . Very disappointed and a waste of time and money. If your looking for some good food this is not the place to go eat . Ever

Stopped in for lunch since Weaver D's is out and I need a new soul food spot. I was sadly pretty disappointed. The cafeteria set up and all you can eat option is nice, but quantity appears to outweigh quality. Mac and cheese mostly tasted like butter, chicken was decent, but didn't taste super fresh or flavorful and cornbread was dry and bland. Green beans were solid and the staff was all pretty nice. Even for the lower price, it all feels lacking.

Might have been an off day, but I probably won't be coming back.

The condition of the actual building leaves a lot to be desired, but that food and the service are awesome. If you are craving some of the best soul food around, you've got to try it.

Diners can opt for the all-you-care-to-eat buffet plus drink and a dessert for about $16. There's also a to-go option, but you would be depriving yourself of many great options by doing that.

Meat options vary a little, but the main ones are fried chicken, fried fish, fried porkchops, baked chicken, etc. Hot sides are plentiful: mashed potatoes, gravy, lime beans, baked beans, cabbage, greens, green beans, etc. Cold sides include a small salad bar (basics only), deviled eggs, vole slaw, potato salad, etc.

Dessert is a slice of cake that comes pre-wrapped on a plate. Drink options are sweet tea, lemonade, and water.

Don't be a doofus and try to go on Mondays or Tuesdays because they will be closed and your tummy won't forgive you for it.

I swear I felt like I was in sumbody Auntie or Great-Grandmaw house. Food is delicious and they were even bringing fresh food out until bout 10/15 mins til closing. Being in food/bev Industry myself, I think that showed Great customer service and a heart to be fair and want everyone to have the same respectable service. God Bless yall and thank you.

Outstanding!! Real home cooked food.... My kind of little homey hole in the wall joint!!
I had one piece of fried chicken, one baked, butter beans, and greens.
Next time I'll try the fried pork chops.
