Wonderful atmosphere and great food. Below is the fried tilapia and grits with fried plantains. I also had the oxtails but they were devoured before I remembered to take a pic. ? ?The servers were very nice and attentive, given the size of our group.

First off, the food is great. Everything I’ve had here is delicious. The catfish is amazing, hush puppies are amazing, I cannot say enough good things about the menu and flavorful dishes.However, the two times I’ve eaten in person the service has not been good. The staff were kind, but just took a long time to acknowledge us and seat us and then it took over an hour for the food to be ready when there was only one other couple in the restaurant. This is a small detail, but the plastic silverware is weird for an otherwise nice vibe. I hope they can hire more staff to provide better service in the future and invest in some silverware because the food is great.One other detail-my partner and I were sooo excited to bring visiting family here but it was closed for a special event at the website had not been updated-that is one logistical improvement that would help is keeping hours up to date. Now we always check the menu and call to make sure it’s open before visiting.

Coming from the south I've been disappointed by all the so called soulfood southern restaurants in the area. But this place has become my go-to. Relaxing atmosphere, friendly servers and good food. Not like home but still damn good. My only complaint is rice doesn't come with the smothered porkchops. Have to buy separate. I never had anything smothered that didn't come thrown on a bed of rice covered with gravy. You have to complete the meal. But that's just a nit pick.

Great food and staff, amazing atmosphere I will be back to try the other dishes. It is street parking.

Went there last night for a work function, and I embarrassed myself by how much food I ate. Every bite better than the last. I HIGHLY recommend the costs greens, hush puppies, jumbalaya, and macaroni and cheese. I can't give this place high enough praise. I also asked for a drink they don't serve, Pineapple margarita, and the bartender said she'd do her best. It was AMAZING. I'm going to drag my family here.

Delicious food .. service was great. Some of the food took a little while to get out to the table( maybe under staffed) but it was worth the wait. Nice open space so you are not on top of the next table.

So, I like this place but I want to like it more.The good: my wife loved her meal. She liked the greens and praised the Mac 'n cheese - something she never does anywhere. I had fried pork chops and a side of red beans and rice and an additional side of black eyed peas. The Red beans were okay. The black eyed peas were the best I've ever had anywhere, ever. The staff was wonderful.The needs improvement: we had a side of sweet plantains and they were not ripe enough. I've eaten and cooked enough of them over the years to be able to tell. My fried pork chops were over fried and tough.We will definitely be back and hopefully they will work out these minor kinks. The place is promising and fills a niche that's needed for soul food in Tacoma.

I can't say enough about how delicious the food here is! I've gone twice and have been happy each time. If you are tired of the usual burgers and pizza you have to come check this place out! I've ordered the Mofongo each time and man it is so good! Can't find that anywhere else in Tacoma! My husband really enjoyed the jumbalya, and my friend loved her shrimp and grits

Food was good but that's about it! There was no professionalism what so ever. All tables in the establishment were occupied and only 1 server was working. It took forever for us to even get acknowledged and when we finally did the service still did not get any better. My husband and I ordered 2 maragaritas and had to keep reminding the server that we did so, just for her to say "the bartender is busy with a reservation so she can't make drinks for y'all." Eventhough the food was good I would never go back or recommend this place to anyone. I expected more from a black owned business.
