Holy macaroni & cheese! Thomasena’s food is excellent! The meat is tender, the yams are sweet,the collard greens are seasoned just right, and the baked macaroni & cheese, fa-get about it!.....haha. If you love soul food or you don’t, go anyway, you’ll be satisfied. If you want a good hearty meal get to Thomasena’s.
Great experience, very very clean, and the food is great
