I ordered over 60 dollars from this place. The food is not authentic. The product was instant potatoes. The yams were not done. The chicken was bloody inside. The Mac in cheese was from the box. When the food was brought back for a refund it was refused. The food was terrible. The workers young people who did not understand that soul food is expected to be good at those prices. DO NOT waste your time and money! So Sad!!!

I don't think I've ever been as displeased with an establishment as I was with this one. The food was just okay but I would be willing to give then another try however the music video that they had blaring was literally disgusting! I asked the young lady if she could change the music and she seem appalled that I did. Who wants to hear such vulgar music when purchasing food? Why even would that be acceptable to your customers? Nope, I won't be going back ever! Please do better

I ordered the mac and cheese, greens, and Jerk chicken tips from ubereats. AWFUL! I ordered this in the past and everything was good. Maybe there's a new cook? Like, why were the greens and bbq sauce so watery? I also ordered the peach cobbler and oh my gosh, I've never had anything so disgusting. This was not a good meal, and sadly, a waste of money. I won't be a returning costumer, unfortunately.

I ordered the baked chicken meal. Tree chicken was OK, but dry. The macaroni had entirely WAY too much salt. I think it gave me high blood pressure! The beans were undercooked, and so were the yams I wish I took heed of the 3 star rating. That good was a major disappointment. I wish I could get my money back.

Barbecue jerk chicken tips are a 10 !!
But I didn’t really like the mac & cheese because it was bland. There was really no flavor.
The cornbread muffin was delicious And the peach cobbler was really good

Oh ! And I had the dressing as well on the side. It was good but a little bit salty

I used uber eats and ordered the blackened salmon , which came with 2 sides. My 2 sides were mac and yams. I also ordered a side of dressing. Although they forgot my dressing, and gave me fried catfish fillet instead of blackened, everything was tasted satisfactory and was hot and fresh.

If I could give it zero stars I would. Ordered that cat fish dinner and it wasn’t even real catfish and wasn’t freshly fried. The cabbage was so salty and soggy it was inedible. The string beans were spoiled and from a can, they tried to cover the fact it was spoiled with over salting it. I ordered the fruit punch and they gave me a can of orange soda. This is why education is important because the people running this place are slow ash. Do not eat here! You guys are a disgrace.

This food is horrible. I asked was the food good because I noticed, it wasn’t a soul in the restaurant, and I see why. I got the jerk chicken tip dinner, the chicken was old and cooked days ago, Mac and cheese was said to be baked but was super watery and had no flavor. The red beans and rice taste like starch. No flavor whatsoever. I called to get a refund and the manager amd owner said they don’t do refunds, amd I said I see why. The food is horrible and even the people in the area says the same thing. They have every excuse why the food is trash, but this place won’t be open long if they keep this up. And I was so mad I didn’t even go back to get the order he said he’d replace because if the food was that bad I just wanted my money back. Don’t waste your time or money.

Purchased a Groupon and tried them out today. I will try it again. Smothered Pork Chops, Yams are 9
Greens are an 8. A Little salty.
The Mac and cheese cooked in broth was too loose and watered down for my taste. 4
Maybe next time it will be better and creamier.

My two co-workers and I, all ordered the catfish with dressing and mac and cheese. We all agreed that something is wrong with the dressing. It has a weird taste as if it's going spoil. The mac and cheese wasn't favorable at all. The fish on the otherhand was fantastic. So all of us just paid $20 each for 2 pieces of catfish because we threw out the rest of our meal . Such a disappointment.

Ordered turkey leg on Uber eats. Yams were good. Macoroni and turkey leg were very disappointing. Turkey leg was not seasoned at all except with paprika and SO UNDERCOOKED. $40 waisted
