I ordered the brown stew chicken. The chicken taste like it was cooked yesterday and reheated hard I couldn't even chew it. I will not be going back.

I haven't eaten at this place in two years. I tried the oxtail and it was nasty. The seasoning was bland and tasteless...The cost was $23 for a very undersized serving plus 50 cents for a takeout bag. They also have the front window covered so you can't even see in there. This place is horrible I'll never eat there again.

I used to go to the truck years ago and the food was good. But it's been a long time and never again. Went to the the brick and mortar and was very disappointed. The chicken wings tasted like old fish oil. The wings tasted nothing like chicken. All I tasted was oil and fish. To top it off the covered the fries in a cup of salt. The collards was OK but I'm good on going there again. Wish I could get my money back

I use to like this place but the food has taken a decline. I just brought a chicken platter for 18.50 that was hideous. Do better. Stop serving old burnt mac n cheese. Only thing looked freshly cooked was the CHICKEN.

Order a fish platter with potato salad and rice and peas with oxtail gravy. Paid 18$ and change for it and the rice was filled with gravy and hard to chew. Was not enjoyable plus on the salty side. Fish was okay and potato salad was too but for what I paid was not worth it. Had their food before and was nothing like this.

First and LAST time there.
What the hell do yall have against salt!?!

The cabbage tasted boiled with 0 flavor.
Mac and cheese tasted as if it only had egg, cheese and 0 salt.

Like, not everyone has a sodium strict diet.

Then had the audacity to tare apart 3 wings as if it was alot in the player.

For what i paid i could have got 2 wing platters from the Chinese food store

Heres another case of getting to comfortable and deciding to cut corners on good business.

The goal should be longevity not just an instant coin.

Ordered whiting fish sandwich, portion is small , mostly fish ends or scraps. Something happened with there portions . Women and men who work there serve portions differently.

NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE

The Realest

I stopped here for the first time in years for just some fried fish. Then I remembered why I stopped going here. They always skimp on the fish. Like why cut 1-2 fish into small pieces? C'mon on now!
