Drove by and found this place was closed. Called the phone number thinking maybe I missed the opening window only to find the phone number is disconnected

Went by this place, and the business is closed. What a bummer because Groupon is still selling vouchers for this business.

Went on a Thursday at 3:30. Goggle maps listed it as open. When I got there the door was lock. Nothing explaining why it was closed. Looked inside the window and there's still tables and chairs. But looks like it was stacked up for storage more than from closing the night before. Looks like it's been closed for awhile. Read a review from a few months ago where the owner responded to the review stating they were still open for the time I showed up. Would appreciate an update from owner if they read this. Google says you're open and you're still selling Groupon vouchers. That's why I visited. I bought one. Will get a refund for groupon but still open to going and revising review if it's still open.

We came here last year because we were walking around looking for some fun. It wasnt crowded yet but had good vibes. I still remember what a great time we had. I wish I could go there all the time! I live out of state, and I haven't found anything in years with this kind of soul. Dj was cool, owner was cool, manager, bartender.. all sincere and friendly. It had a stripper pole, which always adds to a drunk night. They were having a soul food buffet the following week and I was bummed I wouldn't make it. Next time I'm in Everett, I'm definitely gonna support this small business. They are genuine and seem to care about patrons having a good time and not just swiping a credit card. Go there, tip good, and open your soul to our neighborhood culture that deserves support!

The fried pork ribs special was absolutely hands down the best pork I’ve ever eaten. It was a moment. The Mac and cheese and the bbq bean sides were AMAZING. Great vibe too with live and outdoor music sometimes, and the people were great. I love it!

Wow! Such a nice, new place! The decor is swanky but classy. The owner Darlene & her brother Herb are warm and welcoming. I ordered red beans & rice and potato salad. It was awesome! I'm very picky about potato salad and this was SO good. They have a full bar with a cool & very pleasant bartender. They also have a DJ with a decent sound system. There are tables, cozy couches with tables and a pool table in the back. This is a great new find. Saturday, August 20th is Darlene's 50th birthday. Everyone's invited and they're serving up FREE FOOD! I know where I'm gonna be on the 20th. The lighting is upbeat and festive, plus there's a dance floor. I almost couldn't stop myself from jumping up and dancing to "Brick House," She's mighty mighty, lettin' it all hang out!

I don't even know what to say about this place. Showed up Wednesday evening closed even though their posted hours say open. Tried again on Friday, called first to make sure we didn't waste another trip. No answer. Go anyhow they're actually open and not busy whatsoever. Place order but out of most sides so decide and still place order. Female who took our order was initially friendly said she understood and placed our order. 1 hour elapsed.... Yes a full hour then only receive partial order. Female then claims that's all we ordered and that's all that they made and was very dismissive. Just don't bother with this place. It may be more melanin friendly but not worth the hassle of lackadaisical(not rude) staff and it shouldn't take an hour and 20 mins for food. No explanation or anything and the guy who brought it out one item at a time all sideways in bag. At least they didn't charge for the last entree.Edit: Now that we actually tried the food. Definitely the closest thing to soul food around. As mentioned above didn't get to try many of the sides because they're out. But as someone who doesn't typically care for beans, their beans and beef are FIRE!!!So all in all 4 stars for the food, two stars for time and screwed up order.Response to owner: I'm glad you were able to check your cameras but I too have timestamps of communication. The order was placed at 5:23 pm (to informs about your sold out sides) and walked out with last entrée at 6:31 pm, so like mentioned above more than a hour. After 30 mins of waiting at the bar ended up taking a seat at one of the booths until receiving last of the order. Not sure what time repairs were started on Wednesday, but at 5:08 pm there was absolutely no sign posted. Or at least on door that we checked your hours on and there were 3 of us. As for the number of sides I didn't think that was even an issue just wasn't sure because your website states one thing and then posted pics/reviews say another. Like I also mentioned there were undoubtably no complaints about the food once received. It was delicious and on another level to most all food in the area. This review is more so based of the extended amount of time(yes, more than an hour) to receive and only initially receiving partially what we ordered.

Had my birthday party here. I highly recommend this bar

There are many great things about this place but it starts with the owner and staff welcoming you like you have known them for years continuing with great drinks and topping off with the BEST chicken around. This place is my new favorite. Going back today to try the gumbo and catfish
