Finally got a chance to come here, and I must say I was very pleased with everything. Being a southern, I was missing home cooking meal. I love the atmosphere. You can listen to nice music or watch TV why you enjoy your meal. The staff was very welcoming also. I had the meat loaf, collar greens, Mac n cheese , rice and cornbread. I also wanted to try the jerk spaghetti. Cant go wrong with none of these. Highlight recommended to give a try.

I ordered through DoorDash and I ended up having to throw the entire order away. I had Meatloaf, Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes. It was the worst tasting food I’ve ever had!

I am going to try to sum this up without wasting your time. GO EAT HERE. 🏆
I sincerely hope that summed it up. Here's why; We were greeted by a very friendly man. Once we explained that we were visiting from Ohio, he quickly explained the pricing and order of things. He went over the menu and answered any questions we had. Bet 🫶🏾
Pricing was $10.95 per pound. It's set up buffet style but not an all you can eat for a set price buffet type thing. Y'all, everything looked good. I wanted a Lil bit of everything. 🐷 So here's the options that I can remember: fried chicken, jerk chicken, smothered chicken, BBQ chicken, meatloaf, and catfish. My husband was shocked there were no ribs and they told him no swine on the line 🤣 Side items consist of mashed potatoes, mac-n-cheese, cabbage, green beans, black eye peas, greens, candy yams, red beans and rice, and probably a few other items I can't remember. Cornbread was the only (and rightfully so) bread item!
Ok I had the BBQ chicken which was amazing. The meat was just falling off the bones. My side items were cabbage, green beans, mac-n-cheese, and candied yams. The cabbage and green beans were the star of the show. Omg so good 👍🏾 😍 Like, sooooo good. Every single bite had seasoning in it. It was a win-win situation here. The mac-n-cheese was good. Not the best I've had but still good enough to make me happy 😊 The only downfall was the candied yams. They just weren't good. Everything else was so good, I didn't even care. I was full on top of full. I was soul food wasted! 😋🙌🏾
I ordered a slice of red velvet cake to go. I haven't eaten it yet. I'm excited tho.
The atmosphere: classic African American owned esthetics. Walls covered in famous and historical African Americans while also giving you a little bit of important history about each one. The music playing in the background was old school R&B 🏫 Perfect sounds and surroundings for a perfect meal.

This place is amazing. I just moved to the Twin Cities from Los Angeles and wanted to find a good soul food spot. They had a variety of all of the staple soul foods and desserts. I loved the atmosphere and the pictures of famous African Americans. I also loved the fact that they played gospel music. It felt good to be in a familiar, unapologetically Black establishment. The owner's son was also very nice. 10/10 would recommend. I will be back.
