It really hurts my heart to leave this review. I had very high hopes for this restaurant being that it had almost a five-star rating on doordash. Plus with this being a soul food restaurant, which we really don't have many of in Lockland or surrounding areas, I set my expectations really high. I have lived in the area for 3 years and have noticed that there is no consistency with the restaurant hours. I can't imagine how difficult it must be to run a small restaurant especially after covid. Initially they were open several days a week, but there was no regular times. Then it was just a couple days, again with no set times of business. Now they are just only open on Sundays. I took advantage of the fact that they are open today and I ordered the six-piece wings with mac and cheese and greens which also came with a cornbread muffin. When I received my delivery, I was very disappointed. The chicken wings have been fried way too long. They were extremely hard and the meat was very dry. To add insult to injury, there was no flavor. No seasoning, just fried flour. The cornbread muffin had really good flavor however you have to eat with a spoon. It just crumbles to Tiny pieces. The mac and cheese tastes very similar to popeye's, absolutely no flavor. The most disappointing part were the greens. I believe they tasted like canned Glory greens with some meat tossed inside of them. There is no extra seasoning or flavor, what you get out of the can is exactly what you're getting with these greens. This might be exactly what some people are looking for but wasn't for me. I too cook, no I don't have my own restaurant but I have people who contact me all the time to cook for them. I promise you adding seasoning is going to help your business go a long way. I hope you all succeed, but I think adding some flavor will definitely get the town talking.

This place is a hidden gem! No better place in the city to get soul food than Catherine's. I had the hot wings, which are not for the faint of heart (if you don't like spice, I would recommend just getting BBQ wings) I loved the spice on them and they were very juicy. The wings are made to order as well as a few other items on the menu, including their burgers. Catherine also told me she didn't have the normal fries that she would use, so she CUT A POTATO and made fries from scratch! Talk about above and beyond! I will definitely be coming back, and bringing friends, I recommend you guys check this place out!!

Came here to thank Catherine for providing water to the poll workers in Lockland today, and offering sandwiches for next time. Thanks for being a patron in the Democratic process!

We pulled off the interstate to eat here while on a road trip because I was tired of fast food and craving a home cooked meal, and it completely satisfied. The neighborhood looked a little seedy so at first I was concerned, but the family owners were very nice and attentive, and the food was wonderful - just like having a home cooked meal. I would definitely eat there again.

Great food,,great portions,,great prices. If you want an excellent home cooked meal then this is the place to get it!!
Dont let the rough exterior turn you away, you won't be disappointed. I've been here a few times but definitely very pleased with all aspects of it. The food was great and priced appropriately.
