I'd take a picture but there wasn't anything left lol, this place was delicious and made me tear up cause it reminded me of home. It was amazing and the cooks Kelly and Rob were wonderful! I don't give 5 stars ever but this place deserves it.

This place just ain't what it was 8 years ago, ordered from here late at night 2am which was probably my mistake I'll admit, I ordered a sausage link sandwich said it was out of stock, ordered a fish and shrimp platter only got the fish and it was the most unseasoned fish I've had from any soul food place, ordered Mac n cheese and yams as my sides with the platter I got the Mac n cheese but it was just bland, dry, and unseasoned, and instead of yams they gave me black eyed peas which I didn't ask for at all just wouldn't recommend this place to anyone who wants to go to a soul food place that actually put their time and soul into the food this place just doesn't offer any of that another reason not to eat here they literally put the food in styrofoam in the microwave which is not ok whatsoever I don't care what anyone says if you took the time to look up why it's not good to put styrofoam in the microwave they would probably quit doing it but naw I guess they trying to give their customers a side of cancer and death if they continue with all that.

This place needs to be closed. Everything about the place looked nasty and run down. There was flys everywhere and the only worker there had only one glove on her left hand and she didn’t have a glove on her other hand. The good reviews are lying about the place or talking about an another place because this is not a good food place to take anyone. I went there on Monday with my mom and it did not look like the pictures and I was thinking the girl was going to be black since it was a soul food place but it was a white girl and it did turn me off and the place in general was a huge turn off. It wasn’t a clean place. I didn’t get anything from this place and I’ll never will.

Well, I was hoping that this would be my North Dallas soul food spot but unfortunately was disappointed on the first encounter. Saw Clara's restaurant on the local news recently and couldn't wait to try it since it's around my way in Denton. The food I got was ok. Catfish was decent along with the cornbread. But what really aggravated me was that there was no greens or mac and cheese available when I ordered. This was at 1pm on a Friday! How is this possible? Who dropped the ball? It doesn't matter. A total no-no when you're trying to establish customer base. These were the dishes that I really wanted to have with my catfish order. So, I would definitely recommend that the restaurant do whatever it can to keep these sides in stock. These are soul food staples. They should be taken off the full service menu if they can't be readily made available which is problematic for a soul food restaurant.

They say the best food is found at the hole in the wall places...well...this place did not disappoint. The food was delicious and seasoned good. However, I thought my filets should have been bigger. The daily specials are posted on a board but for the menu you have to look on Google. If you in the area, stop in and grab a plate.

This food tastes so good. It's classic soul food, it tastes like home to me.
But I can't say I recommend here unless you like waiting and ONLY do takeout. Here's why:
1. There's no air conditioning in the place so it's always hot as hell. It's a little hole in the wall joint. It reminds me of Dallas, the parts where I grew up.
2. They clean just enough to avoid getting shut down by health inspectors. There's like a film of grease over everything. Everything is old. This might scare some. To me- this is a sign that the food is about to be good af. And it is so good.
3. They burn the grease literally every time I've been there. I can't sit in the building cause it's hot and full of burnt old grease.
4. They take forEVER to get the food done. And 90% of the time they mess up the order for good measure to piss you off even more. They're usually nice people behind the counter tho so I don't get too mad.
Now for the good:
1. The people can cook like crazy. Maybe it's the recipe, maybe it's the cooks. Delicious southern comfort food. I disagree that the food is nasty or cold like some of these reviews. The food is always good to me.
2. Best catfish in town. Best ribs in town. Boudain balls, best cornbread in town. Candied yams. Everything I want to expand my back.
3. Decent prices, great serving sizes, good menu.
4. Staff is generally pleasant- just because they aren't the type of people you hang around doesn't mean they're bad people. Don't judge a book by its cover.
