I ordered the 4 wings, mac and cheese, and yams. With peach cobbler. When I say this is the best soul food I've had since returning to the area it is. I was shocked as most places miss with one thing or another. Wings are fried to order, mac and cheese had a smoked taste good! And the greens was hitting. I put the little bit I had leftover in the fridge. And the greens with the soaked in seasoning yes. Sign me up for another plate, yes I will be returning and telling everyone...read full review
I was in town last weekend to visit family and I didn't feel like cooking, so when I googled places to eat this popped up. When I tell you the food was awesome, it definitely took me back to my childhood growing up in Washington Park and SSG, those greens were extremely well cooked, I loved the liver and onions, potato salad and bread pudding, please believe whenever I'm in town I'm definitely going to order from this place. Home cooking at it's finest!! I will be ordering food...read full review

The collards were the best thing on my plate, the Turkey Wings were ok, but the Mac wasn't edible for me. For one it was sitting in grease, noodles were over cooked, just tasted to mushy and wasn't really cheesy even though it looked cheesy,also don't think it was cooked same day but reheated probably. And the cornbread was ice cold and kinda dense that's only way i can describe it. Don't get me wrong, everything else was decent and I'll try other items
