“I know this is not gonna be popular, but it tasted exactly like the food you find in a hospital canteen or high school lunchroom. And I gotta think someone else has had the same observation because there is a sign in the bathroom that reads something like they are cool with you believing your mother's chicken salad is better. Well, there is a lot of truth to that. And my mom's is much better... and my mom is a terrible cook. The food was just ok. I think people go here for the kitsch and the down home sayings onto the wall. The staff was awesome. However, being greeted by a newspaper clipping featuring Paula Deen... well, just not sure that endorsement has aged well. Look, the place is spotlessly clean and the employees were incredible, but the food wasn't nearly as special as they claim it to be. We tried the potato soup, broccoli soup, pimento cheese, chicken salad and desserts. I will try it again and update my review if the food knocks my socks off.“
“We were looking for something different and found it at Down Home Elegance. They do mostly carry out, but they did let us and some others eat in. The food was very good. The turkey ribs were smoked, and they were ? ? ? ?, yes, I said turkey ribs. Go ask em were the rib comes from, and they'll tell you. The wing was baked, but it was good. The Yams were cooked perfectly. I would have liked a little more flavor in my greens, but they are not using any pork in them, for you all that don't eat pork. The cornbread dressing was just that, nothing super special. The food is good and satisfying, and I would recommend them as a go-to because we will go again. Also, I had a piece of Carrot Cake, of course, I ate it no picture. Give them a try if you ate ever in North St. Louis off I270, just before crossing back into Illinois. Very nice people, which is as important as the food.“
“We came through town looking for somewhere to eat.. gees am I glad we found this place. Fantastic service, comfortable atmosphere, amazing food... What more do you want?! Do yourself a favor and stop by Lovett's for a feed of real soul food - snoot and wings how God intended them to be “
“Love it, amazing food great staff. Amazing bbq. I could eat here every day hands down. Great selection of fantatic smoked meats. Nice looking interior is comfy and roomy. Staff is always fast to help and always very friendly. Clean and organised. Cant say enough good things about this place.“
