They've been closed for roughly 2 months or so now, I wonder what's going on. I miss this place, they have some of the best soul food I've had.

I have had the Mac n cheese, string beans, and dressing.. They were very good, but I’m sitting here in their parking lot at a time they should be open, and they are closed. This is not the first time that has happened. I called their number and they say they are closed with no explanation of why. That’s so frustrating. Another lady in the parking lot with me was even more frustrated because she had driven a lot farther to get here. I would just suggest that you are open during your posted store hours or give a reason why you’re not open.

Their food has been really good the couple times that I have had it. However, they are never open according to their hours anymore. I called one day and was placed on hold and then the phone hung up. I called back again to place an order not even an hour later and they were closed. It wasn’t even 7pm yet which is when they’re supposed to close. I called another day and they were closed. I went to look at their hours and an additional day had been added to their closed days. Now, I’m looking again today and a fourth day has been added to their closed days. Their service is becoming really bad.

The fried chicken dinner, catfish and peach cobbler were so good. The fish and chicken is fried to order. Will be going back soon!

Catfish w/ Mac and green beans and the ?& waffle. Everything tasted So good! Perfectly fried. Waffle’s sweet taste was a surprise. Nothing was over seasoned and it was piping hot. Prices are appropriate for the portions. There wasn’t a long exaggerated wait like other spots. Front counter lady is very nice on phone & in person. Restaurant always has a simple yet CLEAN look!

Decided to give this place a chance, because I am so tired of not getting my money's worth. The catfish was very salty and thin candy yams were cooked down almost to the mashed potato state, I asked for my dressing with gravy and cranberry sauce, I got neither. Greens came out of a can, this is a big no no for me. I won't go back.

There are a lot of restaurants that use Uber Eats, Door Dash etc to deliver their food to the customer. A lot of times they don't care about the quality of the food they send.... Alanis Soul Food 8s the exception to that rule. I ordered Catfish, colored greens, baked beans and corn muffins.... and Turkey and Dressing with Green Beans....This food was STELLAR!!!! SO DANG GOOOOOOD!!! Thank you for the amazing meal. I will definitely be ordering from you, again.

Best soul food I’ve had in years. If my mom was still alive, she’d be ordering every day after dialysis (her dialysis clinic was just a few blocks away from Alani’s and we never knew). The catfish is a perfect cornmeal crust. The sides (especially the candied yams) are great.

The other reviews mad me give it a try and I wasn’t disappointed!!! Mac-n-chesse was some of the best I ever had, chicken and the dressing were delicious also. I ate it all! The young lady was very friendly and polite. Call ahead if you don’t want to wait bc the chicken was cooked fresh (not a bad thing) but I will definitely come back!
First time going here the other day on my lunch break. I got Turkey, Mac and cheese, I wanted the greens but too many reviews saying it's too salty so sadly I had to pass, I got the mashed potatoes instead. Omg!!! Everything was sooo good and fresh.. I will be back forsure!! I've worked at my office almost 10month and just realized they are literally across the street in the plaza. Highly recommend
