My first time there customer service was amazing she helped when I asked questions about what to order but the food came out terrible catfish cooked too hard and rib tips came out burnt and cold hard as well only thing good was French fries I cause you gotta know someone there to get good quality food don’t think I will try them again the good don’t look like what they advertised on the internet

best food i had in Chicago hands down ...delicious food generous serving you cant eat it all in one sitting...friendly staff....very affordable definitely will visit again and again before I leave...

While visiting from Atlanta for my birthday. After placing order and waiting 45mins once the food came, with no utensils then was told they was out of collard greens was disappointing. When in Chicago again will give it another try.
