No premade junk here, I even got some real, dark, pan edges....heaven! GR, take note and GO!!! You will NOT regret it!!!!“

“Great BBQ, great people that serve up and cook the BBQ. Always very friendly!!!“

“When I say this place is nostalgic for me! It has touch points to my entire childhood, so when I heard it re-opened, I knew this had to be my first stop off the plane when I visited GR! I met the owner and we talked for what felt like an hour, she's so personable, warm and welcoming. She's a gem to the community!

The food was delicious, wings hit like they used to, fries were good. Both with the perfect blend of seasoning!

Can't wait to visit GR again and have some chicken coop!“

“Absolutely delicious! We stopped in on a Tuesday for dinner and were greeted with great service. We got the catfish, mashed potatoes, fried chicken, and mac and it was all amazing! I haven’t found anything so close to family cooking in a restaurant before. We both left clean plates. Will definitely be returning!“

“This place has excellent service and down home cooking. The Soulfood wrap with extra yams is top notch, so much flavor. The meatloaf tastes like your mom made it, tender and saucy. I like it and the pork chop smothered in gravy, but you can get it without. The collards are exceptional. The corn bread is soft with a slight crust and just a little sweet. And the banana pudding is so luxurious and just the right amount of sweetness.“

“The mixed drinks are out of this world! They're not too sweet, and not too boozy, the perfect balance. The food was pretty good, definitely worth coming back for. The food was not brought out at the same time. The first guest was finished eating before the last even got their order.

My biggest complaint probably isn't the restaurant's fault. You order through the website. Their payment provider would not accept either of my cards. Luckily my partner's Apple Pay worked. This would have been very embarrassing in other situations. The cell service is sketchy (not their fault), but the guest wifi password at the table is not correct (their fault). Since internet connectivity is required to order, make sure your guests can access it.

Overall we had a good experience. Everyone is friendly and helpful. We will be back.“

“This is our new favorite breakfast place when we are in Grand Rapids. The food is wonderful and the staff was so friendly and welcoming. Service was great and even the patrons were friendly and sweet. I even got a hug from a fellow diner. Everyone there was having a great time and the vibes were wonderful ❤️💕“
