“First time visiting this establishment today. Let me start with I am from Chicago and I cook so I know good soul food. And baby this is it. Yes I did arrive at about 430 and there was a little bit of a wait but the food was made fresh and well worth it. Thank you for your time and patience and I will be back again. But thanks for giving me a little bit of home today. Happy Sunday and God bless.“
