For $20, I got two 2 shriveled overcooked dark meat pieces. A little cup of rice with one small dry biscuit (one mouthful). 1 small cup of gravy. I didn’t feel the love. I like the game but they’re short

This was one of the best restaurant experiences I have ever had, I'm was in Memphis visiting for a conference and found this place close to the Hotel, best hospitality from the owner, and on top of that the tastiest food you have had in your life, if I come back to Memphis I will be coming here daily.
1st time here and the food was VERY GOOD. Great southern hospitality, I will definitely be back! YOUR CHICAGO FAMILY (That tomato Gravy was EXCELLENT YUMMY YUM YUM YUM)

Saw what happened to your restaurant on the news. It was so unfair but if anything it gave you publicity bc anyone who didn't knew you existed, now do! Also, looks like you have some gluten free options so I will be stopping by in support as soon as I can. Standing strong with local business, much love and support!! Memphis strong!

We did lunch here. I didn’t know simple food could taste this amazing. This is a very special place that you won’t forget. It’s even more special that the owner can make everyone feel welcome even after so many achievements. There sure isn’t anything like this in Dallas. I’ll be ordering the cook book.
I was very disappointed it was my first time there and I've been wanting to try it.We both had the 2pc fried chicken and 2 sides, 1 sweet tea and 2 desserts. First my chicken was 30 seconds from being burnt it was very hard, my Mac and cheese was very cheesy and creamy but no flavor could have used salt and pepper, the candied yams were DELICIOUS!!. The iced tea was terrible, I'm not sure exactly what was going on but it tasted like chemical water. I thought it was very pricey for what we got $56, will I go back probably not. Try he service was great, just over priced for what we received

Happy Black History Month! Black American soulfood is one of the foundations of black survival. It was created at a time when our ancestors were given scraps and expected to make due. And in true African American fashion, they did just that!! It wasn't the ideal cuts and pieces, but eventually, the style, the creativity, the love poured into those dishes would make them desired by many, and now soulfood is a worldwide request! Sometimes being revamped but often taking its true form of being cooking made from the soul.. with love! So, with soulfood getting its start and being a huge staple in the south, I'd be remissed if I excluded @alcenias right here in Memphis TN. A place where your meal comes with not only soulful flavor but a kiss on the forehead while you dine! If you haven't been to this food network gem, I don't really think you've had soul food in Memphis. Everything is cooked fresh daily from fried chicken, baked tilapia, fried fish, greenbeans, corn, cabbage, hot water cornbread that reminds me of my grandmother's house and more! It's especially a good idea for those moments when you need some extra love accompanied with a home-cooked meal! If you haven't, take a trip soon! I'm sure Ms. BJ would be pleased to meet you and see you!
