This place started off great! But slowly and consistently it has declined. Cold mac and cheese, over seasoned meat, fish was not fresh, tasted like it came out the freezer. The only good and consistent thing is the drinks. Maybe he should turn it into a bar and let the professionals

This restaurant is the bomb dot com! Such delicious soul food and a great staple for NE 42nd Avenue. I highly recommend everyone eats here! They have the best collard greens I have ever had and I have enjoyed every dish I've tried from them. Rockfish, steak, chicken, Mac and cheese, cheesy grits, oxtails, the list goes on.They do brunch on Sundays, don't sleep on it! I don't have any photos of the food as I forgot to take one and devoured it. Oh they also have drink specials. Be sure to go here again and again so you can try different dishes.

Booked the banquet room to do a buffet style lunch for my mother's celebration of life after her funeral and it was awesome! The owner was accommodating and the food was fire! White people that worked with my mom were even going back for seconds and thirds The ribs, greens and mac n cheese were my favs! The food was hot and delicious and I'll be back wit a date or even by myself just to sample more off the menu on a regular business night

A little slow on the service however everything seems to be made to order. I had the crawfish étouffée a little salty but really good. Only one desert available. I went with a friend and I was glad to have some southern cooking. Service was a little slow because they were very busy and only one waitstaff. Sweetness was very nice and took care of us. The owner which is the cook came out and served our food. Compliments to this place. I will come back. If they ever bring a crawfish boil to town I’ll be there every weekend. Definitely seemed like a family owned business which I love.

We celebrated my big birthday with our family at Norma Jean's last night and had a delicious meal and a great time with the owner/waiter/chef - Marquise! The food was delicious and everyone was so glad to be able to walk to a really good restaurant from home! If you haven't been there yet- by all means go!
I LOVE this place! The people working are so nice, the atmosphere is relaxing, and most importantly the food is amazing! I'm sorry to say I went with people who were a bit...needy... and they handled everything with such friendly professional grace. Again, the food is so good, will definitely be coming
