We first came in and was unsure whether we had to wait to be seated or just take a seat. Unlike last time I was here someone was at the door. But no problem, we ended up seating ourselves because no one was there. So I thought to give them another chance because I had raw chicken last time I was here. So I decided to not order that again.But this time The Food was good. However, we waited 1 hour and 20 minutes before we were served. I personally have their food once a year. Usually...
Great char on j*** chicken, shrimp was well seasoned. Fried batter for fish and chicken was a tad salty but perfectly cooked, muffin was cold and slightly raw at the top center. Overall, everything was surprisingly good, we would definitely go back and try other menu items.
I was pleasantly surprised. The food is good and quite close to my own home cooking. Many soul food joints cut corners to keep up with traffic. Seemingly this place still continues to make very good and authentic dishes. The fried chicken was crispy and juicy. I always complain about chicken not being flavorful. This chicken is not that. If there was one critique I’d say it was just slightly salty. But eh. Not a huge deal. And the sides were certainly homemade. A+++
