Mr Ralph is the trader that a lot of my investing friends recommended so I decided to try it for myself. I'm really satisfied with my experience, a couple of withdrawals I've made so far were successful. contact mr Ralph

I wanted to like this place because it was a different option thrown into the mix around Denver.

Delicious! Their fried chicken is some of the best I've ever had. Everything we've ordered there has been delicious. I am SO glad to have a place like this in Denver. They pay their employees a living wage- that is huge in the service industry. We will be back again and again!

We just tried Hot Plate for lunch and the food is fantastic! Large portions and very flavorful. We will definitely be back. The owners and their kiddos were very nice, as well.

Based on several other reviews we had high hopes, unfortunately now I believe the other reviewers were probably high on Delta 8's or something else. We were truly disappointed in every aspect of our dining experience. First, the place is in an old abandoned Chinese restaurant space, nothing has been updated in that space since the Chinese placed closed up, not even the paint! The place is dirty and worn out and in need of a complete remodel. Obviously somebody on a very low budget went in here and tried to open up a restaurant but the place is absolutely disgusting. Now on for the real reason for my review, The service and the food were horrible. The cook brought our meals out and begrudgingly refilled our drinks one time. The waitress never even attempted one time to check on us during our entire dining experience. She stood upfront behind the counter most of the time and rubbed her face. Finally had to walk up to her and tell her we wanted to check out. The other waitress that was working seem like she didn't have much of a personality either but she was the one taking care of the other eight or 10 tables in the dining room. Occasionally there was a man who looked like a host that was seating people with his ball cap and sweat pants on while adorned in a T-shirt. I am going to assume he's probably the owner! Where the Chinese restaurant used to have the Buffet is like a storage area pushed into the right corner of the dining room for kitchen items that either they don't need or are not using. The bathrooms are absolutely disgusting. Can imagine from looking around the dining room what condition the kitchen must be in. We all got different things and everything was over cooked and had the same odd rancid greasy flavor, my hamburger was like a hockey puck served on a giant bun, my wife's chicken wings were so overcooked and my daughters chicken legs and mac & cheese were over cooked as well. The only thing they have going for them is their hand cut fries were good. But unfortunately the waitress failed to come visit us and bring us much needed ketchup. Beware, I told you so!!!

I hope this place makes it because it's just what Denver needs- great food that's a step above the crowded "burger and beer" joints that litter the shopping centers around here. They have house specialties that will make your mouth shout for joy and the staff is really nice. This restaurant is welcoming to everyone- all races, creeds and colors- probably even UNC and Duke fans both! Try it out, you won't regret it.

THE FOOD IS AMAZING and large portion sizes!!! The Denver location could use some remodel on the interior (old booths etc.) but the food is to die for. If you can get past that and just review the food, it was awesome. Will definitely be returning to support this local family business <3

Awesome soul food & the BEST collard greens I’ve had. They serve large portions too. The owner and staff are friendly and the atmosphere is great. This will definitely be on our favorites list of places to eat!

Our lunch group went for lunch today and every single thing we ordered was delicious! The chicken was so juicy and flavorful, perfect blend of spices in the coating. The fish was equally as good and perfectly cooked. And the collard greens were so amazing...oh my!!! The desserts we ordered (banana pudding and sweet potato pie) were as amazing as our lunch entrees. The people are so friendly and nice and very attentive. We'll definitely be coming back here to support this new small business!!

Glad my wife found this place at the last minute. Love the fact that its Black Owned and to top it all off the food was AMAZING! We had the J*** Chicken plate and the Rib Plate. Plenty of food, Mac was melt N Yo Mouth! My wife fell in love with the Collards and Cabbage, veggies are usually a miss with her. She did her dance with Every Bite. We were baffled with how good and flavorful the Fried Chicken Wings were, It was the crisp, and freshness for us. I need those fry techniques. Will Definitely be revisiting and looking forward to their growth. My 11mo. Old daughter clapped when she tried the Yams! She Approves!

Great Atmosphere, Friendly Servers, Food is like no other and love the menu names!! Its a must to come eat here and try for yourself!! You wont be disappointed..

Pros: Friendly staff. Good atmosphere.Cons: I waited 20 minutes for my soda. Server told me twice that she hadn’t forgot. But somehow could not prioritize my drink over two separate people walking in for to go orders. Looked like they needed more staff to function properly. Also, very expensive. One beef egg roll= $3. Like Jackson’s cafeteria on steroids.I don’t see this staying in business very long. At the bare minimum....management needs to add one more floor staff member.

I can only hope that today’s experience can be soon forgotten. I have been so excited to go try this place and finally had that opportunity today! The reviews I’ve seen for few months were great so to say I’m SHOCKED is an understatement. My group started out by ordering Afro Asian soul rolls with pork (it came with cabbage) and the Aunt Tina’s fried salmon bites. Wait staff came back to announce there were no pork option today and the only option was beef. Ok fine still asked include cabbage with beef. Wait staff returned with news of no cabbage. Ordered a couple beers and a peach Bellini. Also ordered the “mini mosas flight”. Wait staff once AGAIN returns with news that the mini mimosa flight was not available today. Almost comical but ok.. food. I need food. Excited for the starters and waited. And waited. And waited. It arrived … and I just sat there. There was ONE Afro Asian roll…. ONE! It was fried so dark and hard that I didn’t quite really know if that was what I actually ordered. Then the salmon bites … when I say bites … there was nothing about these as bite sized anything. I sat there looking at these FOUR HUGE almost the size of a billiard ball “bites” thinking why so many of these and only one of the other. So after looking concerned and not sure what was about to happen I attempted to bite into the beef soul roll… couldnt !! I could not bite through it it was so hard fried!! Ok I cut into it. … the inside “beef no cabbage” roll was so crispy hard on the inside just like outside. Ok let’s taste it. The amount of curry hit my nose well before my tongue and I can’t even still now over 5 hours later explain to myself what THAT WAS!!! Between the VERY OLD OIL taste to the over powering curry … I had to spit it out. Into napkin. In total disbelief. Eyes watering I took a big gulp of water but secretly wish it were straight vodka. Salmon Bites were next. Oh my goodness. The consistency of hush puppies with some type of fish… but I assume it was canned salmon and once again the overly fishy fish smell hit my nose before any taste. Once again the VERY OLD OIL made these just nasty! These were even almost worse then the “roll”. I did manage to swallow first bite but started examining the thing and couldn’t get past the mixture of ingredients visible. Cornmeal!! Period. I did attempt another bite and once again spit it in napkin and just couldn’t Nope. So both items were moved to edge of table and our wait staff ignored them. Asked if we needed another round of alcohol but NEVER asked about the uneaten items. MIND BLOWN! So when asked if we were ready to order I immediately looked for something on menu that I hoped couldn’t be this badly messed up. I pointed to the attempted items and explained how badly they were. Explained the oil might be bad and need to be changed or tried to engage with server and it was met with hardly an apology. Items were left sitting on table as they quickly disappeared. I eagerly awaited a “manager” of some type to hopefully come to table so I could try to explain. You already see where this is going… never happened. But same server showed up ready to take order. So I ordered omelet TO GO!! I couldn’t honestly sit there any longer. I was presented my ticket with ALL ITEMS FULL PRICE and I was so beyond MAD but was ready to get out of there! Oh but nooo had to wait on my to go food. Praying the whole time to get it and go. Wow! Beyond words WOW! There was no offer of an item adjustment. There was no sincere apology. Knowing I had food coming I didn’t want my to go order tampered with so I paid and prayed for speed and distance from this place!! I cannot even begin to tell you that spending over $60 for food not eaten is beyond EXPLOSIVELY UPSETTING. never again. No way. No how. And I can’t seem to think this was a one time event after reading some reviews. Quite honestly why I decided I had to post my honest review. Sorry. Not sorry
