This place was recommended and we wanted some soul food so we tried and ehh it was ok. The group tried the ribs, whiting and turkey wings. The Mac & cheese needed more cheese and creaminess inside, most of the cheese was baked on top. The yams were a toss up, 1/2 of liked them & other 1/2 didn't like them. The fish wasn't like hot fried fish straight out the grease. The food didn't come out together ? and took several minutes between get the next dish. They didn't have any cornbread left and we came at 530pm on a Saturday. The waitress was very friendly and pleasant but she checked on us 1x then we struggled to get her attention to even get a refill. All in all I mean it was a decent meal but I may come back earlier in the day to not deal with the last of things.
Incredibly disappointed. And with such high reviews. We went in, were sat... and a super nice fella got us drinks. Then no one came to take our order..... ever. 5 tables were sat after us, and every one of them got drinks, ordered, and started receiving food. At 30 minutes since we walked in, we walked out. One table even had someone come to take their order 3 different times and had to be told they had already ordered.It's a shame, it looked good. But disorganization ruled the day for them here.

The crab and shrimp rice dish was good - make sure you add the shrimp..! The lima beans plate was maybe even better.. but the collard greens and cornbread were fantastic..!

I had the whiting with 2 sides. I was a long wait for them to fry the fish. But it was great! Friendly service. Free parking at the end of the block. .Fresh desserts and a full bar.

This place has some great food! I had the red rice and chicken quarters and it was delicious! You have to check this place out if you're in the mood for some good, down home, soul food!
This is a great place to visit if you enjoy soul food. The crab rice is great. The turkey wings were also tasty. All sides are made fresh daily. They have very reasonable prices. You can choose from indoor or outdoor seating.

We got a to-go order and we were really looking forward to it.. had very high expectations from vlogs and recommendations. The staff was very nice. They were the highlight! We got chicken gizzards (best part but a bit dry/over-fried), ribs did not get finished (she was expecting Carolina vinegar bbq and it was typical red barbecue sauce), red rice (was a hit with our kiddo, but morning to write home about from the two adults), cabbage is very oily and tastes like meat but no meat in it (barely touched it… and I love cabbage), grilled shrimp and mac & cheese kids plate (still untouched for the most part).. so we won’t be returning..Parking: About 3 spaces in the lot and then you can squeeze and find something in the street.

We were lucky enough to get a recommendation by the Gullah culture story teller at Boone Hall Plantation.Parking is limited to wherever you can find a spot on the street. They have a little patio out front for extra seating. The restaurant is simple - wooden booths/chairs, nothing fancy. Really cool pics and artwork on the walls, though!Our waitress, Gabe, was delightful, cheery and thoughtful. She was as wonderfully entertaining as she was efficient! All six of us squished into a booth and ordered sweet teas, Arnold Palmers and Obamas (pink lemonade and sweet tea).We ordered the chicken livers and gizzards appetizers, the crab rice, pork chops, BBQ ribs, collard greens, Mac and cheese, red rice, cornbread and okra soup - (twisted gumbo). Y'all. It was the best damn food I've had in a month. (Some of my party didn't like the sweet cornbread. They were simply misguided in their wrong opinions.)Idk if it's because the food on the carnival cruise was so horrid, or because excellent real food (not cooked by my mama) is so hard to find in the wild, but I swear I fell in love with everyone in that restaurant.After paying my tab and tipping graciously, I waited outside for the rest of my party. I saw a beautiful lady with spectacular eyelashes by the side door. I sneaked over and asked her if she was the cook. Oh happy day, she was! I hugged her, and thanked her profusely, overjoyed to meet her. She is a national treasure and must be protected at all costs!Never have we had such a lovely dining experience - excellent food, exceptional service and wonderful staff. We felt like family!This place alone is worth the trip to Charleston!

I went there September 9 2023 while I was on vacation. I really wanted it to try soul food for the first time and I found this place on Google .I arrived there around lunch time the place was almost empty,only a few people were there eating outside. The waitress took my order and after waiting half and hour she said my food was almost ready and I waited another 1/2hour and she never came back.So that was one whole hour waiting for my food that never came and she came back to check on me .I was so angry and hungry that I decided it to leave this place.Good thing I found another place to eat in that area. So,I will say they have a horrible customer service and don't waste your valuable time going to this place.
The food was amazing and the staff is very friendly. Seating area is clean and man, the prices are good!
