Was amazing we had the shoreline breakfast, hush puppies, and the hen house(photo below) the portions are big. The star of the show was that molasses butter that came on top of the pancake SO GOOD.definitely coming back to get the crawfish dish“

“The food and the presentations are wonderful. The atmosphere is beautiful not only with the waiters, but the patrons as well, took someone there today and they are coming back. And they are bringing back a family member“

“I love this place and I love the food and the service is amazing. I have a fav hostess she’s really kind always. She’s soft spoken and wears a trucker cap. I can’t recall her name but she’s the best. I recommend them to all who love great eats and a relaxed environment. It has an ol school feel which I enjoy.“

“Food tasted great. Poor wrap and ingredient distribution & too light on the dressing(got some very dry lettuce only on a couple of bites) on the chicken Caesar salad wrap is my only complaint - but the chicken was great and it was a top tier chicken Caesar wrap on the bites where you got a little of everything.“

“💕 great, great, great!!!“

“Deliciousness! I’m going to stop there as soon as I arrive into nyc on my next visit 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾“

“Food is amaziing!!! Service is great and friendly. Try it out you will not be disappointed!!👍“

“We were not rushed and the waitress was very polite and we had to wait for her to free up to request a few things: like ketchup and the calamari was good, not the best and not the worse I ever had. It was a nice dinner. My wife had the black rice and mushroom with an egg. She liked it, again good food.“

“Grew up with one of the owners. He’s been passionate about cooking good food since his teen years. Fantastic food, fantastic restaurant staff, fantastic atmosphere. Proposed to my now wife at Peaches!“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Vera's, and it truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked in, the warm, inviting atmosphere made me feel right at home. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring every detail of our experience was perfect. The highlight was the food. The barbecue chicken and sweet ribs were savory on the outside and juicy on the inside—mouthwatering. The collard greens and cabbage were seasoned to perfection. What I appreciated most was the authentic soul food flavor that reminded me of home. Great care and tradition are poured into every dish. Whether you're a longtime fan of soul food or trying it for the first time, Vera's is a must-visit. I’ll be returning soon! I highly recommend it for anyone craving hearty, flavorful soul food in a cozy setting.“

“10's across the board. I loved everything I ordered. My only complaint is I wish I had a cornbread instead of a dinner roll. Nonetheless I enjoyed it with my catfish. Please send me the recipe for your Mac it was sooooo good. I would definitely say this is true authentic soul food. Yummy!“

“I found this restaurant on Tik Tok and I’m sooo glad I did! I had the best oxtail I’ve probably ever had!!! Thoroughly satisfied with my experience and will be sure to go again whenever I’m in the area!! 🤌🏾“

“Chicken is good! Seasoned & flavorful! Fries good too! Mac & Cheese needs to go back to the basics.“

“This place is tiny but cute. The food was okay. I didn’t really like my salad. There just really wasn’t much to it. I personally don’t like arugula which is the lettuce that was used but it’s the only option of 3 salads that were to my liking. I wish they had better options for salads. My boyfriend’s meal was good though. The fries he got were delicious. The chicken was pretty good. I would come back and try it again.“

“I was here for a special event. The food was tasty and satisfying. I especially enjoyed the baked and jerk wings, rice&peas and collards. The drinks were good too. This event included a DJ for karaoke, which was a lot of fun. The staff was welcoming and attentive.“
