HORRIBLE! TRASH!!
If you’re accustom to quality food then you’ll know this is WAY PAST POOR SOUL FOOD🤮
The cornbread tasted like cornmeal,water, there wasn’t anything sweet or buttery about it,was gritty & dry!
The Mac/cheese was watered down cheese, bland, cheap watered down cheese & it was horrible! The pot roast was just as bad, they used frozen carrots, it may have been one chunk of meat and a few flakes! The dressing was TRASH, cornmeal mixed up, seasoning...read full review

OMG, when I say coming here was well worth the drive! Their chitterlings are freaking 🔥🔥🔥🔥! Hot sauce was not needed at all either. Their rib tips and sides were delicious as well. Great customer service too! I will gladly be back!

I tried the chitterlings dinner the other day and it was very good. The sides were good as well, yams, mixed greens and potato salad all on point!! I know a lot of people are saying that the amount of chitterlings you get for the order is skimpy, but I know the pain of preparing and cooking them. I didn't think it was a skimpy portion and when they taste like this I'll definitely pay for them! Ordering again as I speak 👌🏾
