The food is always good, fresh, and worth the wait. Most dishes are made when ordered. I had a great conversation with the cook/ owner while waiting. I highly recommend.

Let me just say that I didn't dislike the place, but as a chef I expected more. I'm not going to list all that I didn't like because that would be unfair because I am a very qualified cook. However, certain protocols should never be compromised. I ordered two pork chops, Mac n Cheese and yams. The chops were thin and slightly over cooked but had good flavor. I ordered two chops but it appeared that I had only one that probably was cut and made into two. The Mac arrived lukewarm to cold and wasn't fresh and the yams were a cross between being mashed and a casserole. The owner was very sweet and amiable and that made my visit pleasant but the food was not par with the service. I almost asked her could I offer some quick assistance to help expedite her orders but digressed. Will your experience be better or worse? I don't know, but I would imagine that if you go when the sides are made fresh, I'm sure that it'll be better. Let me add that I was specific because I'm hoping that your experience will be different and better than mine. I'm rooting for this place!
Amazing people ! And Omg amazing food makes you feel at home
Not to hate on a blk owned business but they really need to clean the place up..it's filthy in the front I can only imagine what it looks like in the back.i just walked out.
Just moved to the area went here several times pig feet dinner I was hooked on lol decided to try the turkey wings w/collards, ask for the price black lady told me and has always been kind to me after telling me the price I said that's to much, she hung up on me
A truly genuine place to eat. The staff is more than welcoming and you get more than just food, you receive blessings as well!
If you are ever in the Durham area and in need of some of the best soul food, you have got to try JCs. Not only is the food amazing but the atmosphere is truly remarkable. God has hand on this place and it shows in the food and awesome hospitality. Chitterlings, Pig feet, turkey neck bones, and oxtails ??? you will NOT BE DISAPPOINTED

Classic kitchen and a must have in Durham. The real Durham. The part that the new buildings and construction dust can't cover up. Here in Durham North Carolina for the last 30+years. One supporter has been coming here since she was 10. Who else is here God is here. Bible verses everywhere. This is a favorite stop on every credible tour.The oxtails are amazing. I found my grandmother's house. The cooking is like home. All is right with the world. Thank you.
I ordered a double cheeseburger and it was good. But the fries were dark like it was cooked in old grease. I also ordered 3 chicken wings and they weren’t good at all. They were dark and smelled like fish and tasted like fish. It seems they deep fry everything in the same fryer or don’t change the grease very often. I worked in food service 16 years and we changed the grease once a week so I can tell when food is fried in old grease
