They don't tell you right away you have to pay before getting food. First two times I went food was good. Last time rice & beans was spoiled, smelled and tasted, other food was nasty that day. Two times the waitresses forgot to give dessert to go. Too busy with their cellphones. The one wanted me to go out of my way to pick it up. Not worth it. Wasted my money, plus tips, but they made sure to get paid before you getting nasty, spoiled food.

I’ve ordered from Larsen’s a few times and never had a bad experience…. and that continued today after ordering their Catfish Meal. Whoever seasoned and cooked the two pieces of Catfish I had needs to be working with Gordon Ramsey and nem. I mean the collards and potato salad hit too… but that CATFISH??? I don’t live far and almost walked over in the rain to get some more. Kudos to this establishment, never a miss with their food or drinks (the strawberry lemonade is nice, not too sweet or anything either). I’d add a picture of how good the Catfish looked, but unfortunately it’s long gone

Ask to pay before even getting food and added tip to bill and charge to use card before they even knew if we was paying cash

The mac and cheese with fried chicken is grade A comfort food!

I'm so pissed they messed up my order AGAIN so I'm leaving a review everywhere. Don't waste your time with this place. They don't even follow instructions when you order online. I asked for medium rare steak and that Grey chewy mess they served me CANNOT be called steak. A damn shame. Also why don't the grits have a lick of seasoning??? The food here is just BAD.

It's a music and food inspired restaurant with usual American cuisine with a bit of 'soul' if I may. Service has always been great!

Pros: the food here is genuinely good. Only take out. Never eat in here.
Cons: takes nearly an hour to get food or more if you dine in.

Came here for breakfast after searching for a good soul food spot for breakfast. Don’t let the reviews fool you or you’ll miss out on a neighborhood gem. The service was impeccable and food was AMAZING, everything I needed and more. Atmosphere feels like home. We will be back again, so glad we came in!

The waitress Ms. M. very pleasant, courteous, and respectful. The chef Mr. R. very courteous, and can cook; I’m returning soon. Great vibes. Happy Early Birthday, Ms. M. ? Prayers for the cook and the entire establishment…?? Thanks, Royal :)

Parking: There was parking accessible when I arrived.

Definitely stop in if you like southern cooking! Everything was perfect, except I didn’t see no ghosts! I had the catfish with mashed and sweet potatoes and my friend had the meatloaf. My fish was cooked perfectly! I asked for tartar sauce—didn’t use it the breading was so flavorful. And the meatloaf was double backed with a sweet tomato sauce, it was perfect as well. And the price was very reasonable—‘soul’ or ‘southern’ cooking can be so expensive because every last thing is made from scratch,, but it was very easy on the wallet w no compromise on quality. The waitress was a sweetheart; the decor could use an update, but it’s clean, just dark. We’ll be back
