Lord behold, I found a diamond!!! Walking into this place felt like a warm hug. Yes, it is a restaurant in a house!!!I love the concept of fellowship and having dinner with people you don't know. We all set around the table like one big family. And the smells that were coming from the kitchen just took me away, and when I got to taste the food. It was just like my mom's, God, rest her soul. I truly enjoyed the beautiful atmosphere n the hospitality was phenomenal. I will definitely be back !P.s try the kool aid??

Oh my goodness! The food was DELICIOUS! Thiswas my first time having fried lobster tail and I definitely wasn't disappointed! They were gracious enough to open for us on a Monday and we couldn't be more appreciative! My son (who is a picky eater) ate his waffle, shrimp, and lobster tail! Those fried potatoes onions & bell peppers had the right amount of season! We ate so quickly we didn't even take a picture of our food! 20 out of 10 definitely recommend! The service was spot on and they were extremely friendly!

We were coming in from out of town for thanksgiving and they were closed that Monday. They opened their doors for us and cooked us some amazing fried lobster, waffles and home fries. Nicest people and fantastic food. Can’t say enough good about this place!

This is actually a soul food place with social orientation, serving food to poor people pro bono. The family managing , cooking, and serving are just great ! Good people ! Food was good , very typical Deep South American style. We were on a tour that booked the place in advance. I recommend advance booking .
The service was friendly and warm. Food was delicious

What a place. Spotted it on Google and were warmly embraced, wonderfully fed and sent on our way with a smile from the whole family. Superb.

My sister and I were on vacation in Memphis from Florida and heard such great reviews about this restaurant and I just had to try it. However, when we called they were closed for renovations, but that did not stop Mr. Tolbert from stopping his repairs and opening up his restaurant, and I am so glad that he did. Because baby, he served us the best chicken and waffles I have ever tasted and not to mention that homemade syrup.Sitting at his grandmothers dinner table and listening to the history of how him and his mother serve these southern down home meals made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I must go back so I can experience the full treatment and get me a glass of kool-Aid.
