Never been to this place in person, ordered the food via DoorDash and it was some of the best Soul Food I’ve had in a long time. I’m just confused on the kitchen hours situation. I’d love to order more often but there isn’t a consistent schedule on DoorDash. Can I get some help or at least some clarity?

I don't actually know anything about the venue it's self, but I did order food through doordash. And let me tell you....IT WAS PHENOMENAL!! The only thing better than the food itself was the price! I definitely would pay more for food like this but because its so cheap and delicious I WILL be ordering from here atleast once a week. ITS WORTH IT AT THIS PRICE! The chicken was lightly battered but crispy and unbelievably juicy, the cornbread was somehow extremely buttery and honey flavored without any syrup on the top, the fried corn was fresh and creamy, the collard greens were very tender but not wilted and very meaty, and dont even get me started on the pinto beans that were also flavored with whole fresh meat chunks!! EVERYTHING was full of flavor!

Hole in the wall
The owner's are fun, friendly people and people were friendly.
I have never had better Fried Chicken, Collard Greens, Black Eyed Peas, and Mac & Cheese. Way to go, Kelly, and Puzzles!
Food is good!
I love this bar! It's like the feel of Cheers, but better. Love the owners and the bartenders hold a special place in my heart. Food is phenomenal, and I recommend the wings, all day, every day!
Owners are personal friends of mine. One of my go to spots for over 15 years. Great people, great food, great drinks, great times, great memories. Highly recommend.

One of the most chill environments, with some outstanding food options and drink specials. If you’re looking for a chill and kickback bar try this spot
New everything. Amazing bartenders/servers! Amazing management! Def recommend.
I have never been to this place but I read a comment on Reddit about how this place handled, a bartender being informed that someone's drink was drugged, someone went on stage and told all the ladies to stop what they were drinking and they gave them all new drinks. This is so cool, I think I'm going to just come out to PA to check this place out.
visited at eight, it was not full. i'll return with my coworkers. prices are decent. food is similar to a cafe in portland i liked.
We've been here a couple times, both pre-Covid-19 and during. They have indoor dining (currently not available) and a very nice patio with wonderful ambience. Also, you can easily walk there from the Pantages Theater, so it makes a great before show stop.SERVICE: On both visits, the service was exceptional. This last visit, during Covid-19 restrictions, the staff was greatly reduced, but still handled all the customers with efficiency, good spirits, and in a very safe manner.DRINK: On the first visit, the red sangria was very refreshing, but a little light on the wine and heavy on the juice. This last visit, the red sangria was a little tart, but definitely better wine ratio.FOOD: We've tried quite a few of their small plates and rate as follows:- Braised Carrots with garlic and herbs (3 Stars)- Baked Brie with apricot compote, roasted pepitas and garlic, sage, and toasted crostini (5 Stars)- Gambas: Shrimp, cherry tomato, chili de arbol, garlic oil, and toasted sourdough (5 Stars)- Half Chicken, smoked with cashews & grapes, red wine, arugula, and lemon dressing (4.5 Stars)- Pork Belly Pincho, with coconut, ginger, peanuts, lemon, and cilantro (4 Stars)- Short Rib, braised with chipotle adobo, crisp corn tortilla, pickled red onions, and queso (5 Stars)- Shredded Pork Croquet (3 pieces) (4.5 Stars)We like this place...I wouldn't hesitate to stop in whenever we're in the area. I recommend you give them a try.
