When visiting the Poconos, and if you are craving soul food... this is your place. The service and atmosphere were amazing. They make you feel so welcomed. They give you plenty of food, and the food is very delicious. Would definitely recommend and visit again.
***(3/2024)This Newark restaurant is closed. No longer there. I don’t know exactly when it closed.Food is excellent, but must do take out. Nowhere to dine in.

They have the best collard greens and cabbage. Unfortunately that's the only thing I can eat because I'm Vegan. Lol. But I'm telling you it's delicious, authentic soul greens!!!! I will keep going back just for the greens for sure ?
