I've heard some good things; so I tried it. 1st trip; fried chicken. It was very good. 2nd trip....horrible entree. I ordered the meatloaf. It came with instant mashed potatoes and two pieces of meat?across them. It looked liked liver and tasted like school lunchroom salisbury steak. It was a huge NO !They would have been better off saying they where out of meatloaf than to disappoint in this way

There customer service isn't great at all and the big black guy in the place is just rude to everyone even the employees and customers it's sad that he is just trying to make everyone feel just as miserable as he is ...There place isn't clean at all if u look close enough you will notice that they have bugs there are roaches and they refuse to clean the place up .... There is roaches bad back behind where the servers are look under the shelves and you will see big dead cockroachesIt looks like they haven't clean there Air conditioner vents in a very long time and don't seem like that every will .......They are racists and just plan out God awful rude and will even cuss at the customers they don't care about the customer is always right

I was visiting the west side and got hungry so i did a search for food near me. I found this little place and the name stood out so i had to try it... The food was great! I suggest getting there at least an hour before they close, otherwise you will not get what you want because it's all gone. Go try it out!!

Outstanding crispy, moist, and non greasy fried chicken. Star of the show. I’d call ahead next time as they clearly cook to order or did which was nice. Oh and hey collard greens were the real deal. Tender tenderness.

I have eaten here several times and it was always good!! But today I went there and the food was awful ? I ordered a oxtail dinner with Lima beans and collard greens and a side of yams . The oxtails were white with no flavor the Lima beans were also white with no flavor and the yams tasted like they poured them straight out the can with no flavor no seasoning or nothing I'm just confused about what's really happening. The black guy who was bagging the orders he's always very rude and just seems angry all the time I do know that everyone has their good days and bad days but when you are dealing with the public all bets should be off!! There's nothing like unhappy customers!!

Second time ordering from here. 1st delivery. 1st time wasn’t so great but I figured that they may have just been having a slow day so the food was so so. This time I ordered oxtail dinner , Mac and cheese and collard greens. Greens had no flavor really and were not cooked down enough. Mac and cheese was almost white. We’ve stopped using sharp cheddar? And the oxtail was so gamey tasting. This was the nastiest food I’ve ever had delivered ever. I’ve lived in a few different cities and have had various types of soul food. I was so turned off by the game taste of the oxtails. The gravy was a grey color. I’m more accustomed to the gravy being a darker color. Definitely gonna stay away from them from now on.

The food is fantastic, and their dinners are fabulous, especially the fried pork chops and fried chicken dinners; both come with grand mommas cornbread.

Food is bland and close to hospital food. Everything is served in a to go box with small plastic forks and knives to break if u try cutting into anything. Service was at least attentive and happy. Don’t know how this place has 4.4 rating. Had to dig thru the Curry chicken to find the tidbits of chicken.
