What customers say?

“ The food was fresh and seasoned well. It doesn't have great ambiance, but it definitely doesn't impact the food. The oxtails over rice and collards were fantastic! The candied yams were okay. ”

“ I came here on a one off and was happy I found them food and customer service was awesome. My daughter is a super picky eater and loved all of her food. My husband daid it tasted like his grandma cooking. I will be going back asap to try the turkey wings. I got the oxtails collards and Mac ”

“ I was in town on business and decided to try this place out and soooo glad I did. This is a family owned business that comes with great southern hospitality. Although my order was to go, I enjoyed the service and atmosphere! The first time I went, I ordered the salmon with rice, cabbages, and Caribbean vegetables. I had never heard of Caribbean vegetables but quickly became my favorite! The second time I went, I ordered oxtails with more Caribbean vegetables, broccoli, and cabbages! ”

- Keke Newby -

“ Down home feel with down home taste. I arrived around 4pm on a Saturday and they weren't too busy. The staff seemed very friendly and engaging with I'm assuming were regulars. Everyone seemed happy. They were out of a few things I wanted but no biggie. I did a to go order. When I got back to my hotel my food was still hot. Some things were a little salty for my taste, but it was still good. My food was served with a pancake (flapjack) instead of cornbread or roll which was a different touch. I will definitely return. ”

“ This is a true soul food spot! Friendly culture of people. Cook has outstanding talent for old school 60's meat gravy and rice is not mush. Drinks are tasty, Kool-aid would go great with their meals. ”

- Jeffrey Evans -

“ The first time I tried this place, I didn’t really like the food. I forgot what had got but I didn’t like the parsley flakes on everything. But, I decided to give this place a second try and well… it was wayyyy better than the first. I don’t know who was in the kitchen today but the food was excellent! I got the smothered pork chops with rice and gravy, with a side of their green beans and potatoes, macaroni and cheese with their hoecake/flapjacks. The only thing was my pork chop was a little chewy but I know people have different ways of cooking things. But overall 8.5/10 (a high 8). I actually should’ve added another hoecake, it was so delicious! ”

- Kamiah Nesmith -

“ After reading the reviews. I had to try it out. I was not disappointed! 10/10 from the customer service all the way down to the drinks!!! Most definitely will be back again. ”
