The customer service is horrible here. The man taking orders has a HUGE attitude problem. A customer was voicing his concern that every time he comes to pick up his food he ends up waiting 30 minutes or more after placing his order online. Mr attitude told him to go somewhere else. OMG!!! I was floored. Without customers how would your business thrive??? The food was just ok. Nothing spectacular at all. They need to season the meat prior to cooking. The pork chop was tasteless. The yams and greens were ok. This plate cost me $26.00. So NOT worth it. I won't be going back.

30$ for 1 salty "mid" piece of catfish and 2 sides is unbelievable.

The food tasted pretty good and gave a southern feel that I miss from Florida. The food takes a while to be made so prepare to wait in your car unless you order before heading there.

Just my opinion, not a huge fan. This isn't a good tasting soul food place. The rice taste like ramen noodles, the wings are decent one day and terrible others. The mac/cheese is horrible. Service is great though'

Worst soul food I’ve had in my life. Literally tried to eat it and threw it up! The Mac and cheese felt like I was eating dog food. They gave me one turkey wing for a platter and i asked for jerk whatever was smothered on it tasted nothing like jerk. The candied yams were so soft and watery. This is just

Literally amazing. The Mac and cheese, the greens, the catfish, the boneless Buffulo wings ! If you truly enjoy southern food and live in Jersey where sadly there aren't enough southern spots please try Carolyn's . You will not be disappointed!! I can't wait to try other foods on the menu. I'm super happy that I found this place .

Delivery was made. Collard greens tasted spoiled. Potato salad was ok. Ribs were covered in bbq sauce but dry!

Food was good. My sister ordered yams, Mac n cheese, cabbage, and fried pork chops. She said everything was good only thing she wish was the yams were sweeter. I didn't take a pic of my food I had only mac n cheese and green beans. Both was good.

The food is amazing. I would say it is quality soul food. Some food is prepared/made-to-order so there is a lot of wait time. I suggest calling head, ordering online or doing delivery.
