Literally worse experience. I NEVER leave a google review because I know how it is to have your own business but the audacity these people have. We got there around 2:00 and by the time I paid it was it was 2:09. We order the beef short ribs and the oxtails (this came out to $50 and I paid $5 extra for tip). Red flag number one should have been when we asked for the wait time, they said they couldn't provide one. That's okay because we didn't mind the wait. After an hour and 20 minutes we decided to go back inside and check if the order was done because we still hadn't received the text. When my significant other goes back in they told him another 20 minutes. After another 20 mins of no text (to confirm the order was ready) he went back inside. As he's in there for another 10 minutes he comes back to the car and says that we should consider a refund because they told him it would be another hour before it's ready. At this point it's been 2 hours since we ordered and this would have made it 3 hours so we decided to cancel. Their method of payments are just cash and Zelle so I Zelled the number they gave us. After about 15 mins of waiting for someone to return our money, I only received the $50 back. When we informed them they said they can't refund tips. We didn't even get our food! Tips are for your service that you are provided, which wasn't even given (I know $5 isn't a lot and gratefully I didn't pay them more). Instead of arguing after waiting 2 hours we left.

Being from the south Everything about this place is amazing. I was so hurt when I ate everything on my plate. The greens, I can't stop thinking about them. And the apple cobbler, I almost cried when I ate the last bite. I was curious about the crosstown drink and tried it. It did NOT disappoint. I found my new soul food place and can't wait to return.

Must try this spot. Friendly service and the food was great! Got fried whiting platters with Mac and cheese, candied yams and greens. Nothing disappointed. Will definitely be back on our next trip to Jersey.

My family and I ordered Chicken Wings, Hawaiian Wings, Fish, and the Steak and Take (Cheesesteak), just to try everything out. Nice portion sizes, food looked and tasted delicious. Hawaiian wings weren't too sweet, drenched in sauce but still crunchy. For the amount of food we ordered, it didn't take long only about 45 mins. Inside of restaurant is cozy and a good place to sit an eat at. Overall would recommend.

The food was fantastic; I'm so glad I discovered this establishment!!! First and foremost, it is a Black-owned business, which I admire... and love. Second, Customer Service was excellent. The young lady who took my order was extremely friendly and sweet.They serve very generous portions, which is a bonus! Everything I purchased came to a total of $21! Every bite is flavorful, and you can taste the love and passion in every bite. We will undoubtedly return! 10/10My takeout order consist of:Fried Whiting (4 pieces)Mac & cheese Potato SaladCandied Jam
