The ribs was horrible no seasoning straight barbecue sauce and they seemed boiled no indication of being on the grill and ribs was still pink 🤦🏽♂️ DO not waste your hard earned money on this trash place.props to the mashed potatoes n cornbread tho

I had high hopes for this place. But after just going through the menu with the cashier those hopes turned to doubt.
Let's start with the menu. It was hard to read because of the chosen colors and font. It needed updating as well. A few of the items on it were either not sold anymore or sold out. This is all fine, as long as the food is good.
I ordered the Catfish filet meal @ 21.99... not a terrible price if the food is great. However, this catfish dinner just didn't hit the mark. The breading on the two planks you get is ok, it had a good crunch to it. But it was not seasoned very well, none of the meal was as you can see from the pictures. Everything had some what I'm assuming was fresh parsley chopped on top but that was about it. No pepper, maybe some salt, but overall just really lacking any real flavor. Also, the cornbread... Very sweet.
Anyway, I am not completely turned away from this place because the service was good. They greeted me immediately when I walked in the door and all of the staff I spoke with were respectful. I am always willing to give a place like this another shot. I feel like this is someone's dream coming true and I would like to be able to enjoy the food that they produce from that. So I will try them again and update this review in the future.

I wanted to try this place for so long, but never seemed to catch them when they were open. Today I was blessed enough to meet the owner who was very kind and welcoming. The restaurant has a cozy, clean, family feel - I appreciated that. I ordered the catfish dinner with mac and greens. The owner was also nice enough to let me try one of the desserts- Carmel Cake. The catfish was decent, as was the mac, greens, and cake. The cornbread was delicious! As a consumer I understand how difficult it must be to satisfy different taste buds when it comes to soul food, so while my meal of choice was not my absolute favorite comparatively to other soul food establishments, it was by no means a bad experience. I will return again and try some of the other items on the menu.😊

I visited on Nov 1st. Decoded to give another try. The FOOD WAS AMAZING! Better than when I visited a few months ago. The beautiful young lady at the register customer service was TOP TIER AND SHE NEEDS A RAISE!

I’ve only been here once and Wayne’s to come back but however the hours that’s are presented online are the hours thats at the actual restaurant. I’ve came today 10/7/2025 to get an order and they were closed and it’s only 5:17 and they done even have a phone number to call and ask if they’re open so I wasted gas to come this far for a meal and I am disappointed that they aren’t open when I have my mind and mouth set on their food

They were out of greens and smothered pork chops, they had fried pork chops and cabbage. The cabbage was very mushy the salmon patties were very salty. Our drinks were not refilled. We drove all the way from fishers thinking we were going to get a good soul food meal. We will not return. We waisted $55.00. The fried pork chops were good , I left the rest of my food on the table.

Definitely sending a shout out to the ladies and gents at this restaurant! Your food is amazing! Today was my 1st time in with carry out and I was truly impressed! The catfish was awesome and the sides and cornbread were delish! It is wonderful to have you on the Eastside of the city! I will definitely return!
This place was a very big disappointment! We waited 10 minutes before we had to call out for anyone to greet us. There was no one there so it was an echo. They thought we were yelling then as we began to put our order in found out they have a Pepsi machine with no Pepsi. As we laughed and continued to wait to pay for our food. The owner bypassed my mother and I to take someone else’s order. After she rudely did that she rudely told us to leave. What a poor business owner. She rudely yelled at us saying that we should treat her business as if it was Cheesecake Factory. I wouldn’t refer anyone to ever step foot in a place of business like that. That lady is mean and was rude to me and my mom.

Everything is so good and flavorful!! The owner was very nice! My husband got the Whititng filet dinner. Fish was cooked to perfection, greens and mac n cheese is delicious 😋 I got oxtails and rice, and a side of chicken and dressing!! Presentation was on point! NOTHING disappointed. I will be back! Lemonade was mixed perfectly!!
