“Good food, nice people. We were there today ( may 5) en met a couple with two children with them. She was an art teacher. We had a lovely conversation. When we wanted to pay she had already done it! We were very surprised and it was a lovely gesture. When the staff of pies & thighs see here, give my name so i can thank them myselves!!“

“The food and the presentations are wonderful. The atmosphere is beautiful not only with the waiters, but the patrons as well, took someone there today and they are coming back. And they are bringing back a family member“

“First day we came we had dinner which was 10/10 all around from appetizers to desserts which had us convinced to come visit the next day for brunch and It did not disappoint everything from the drinks, oysters and every team on the menu hit the spot and I must mention the service was exceptional Miles and Sasha make you feel right at home and are super attentive highly recommended!!!“

“Deliciousness! I’m going to stop there as soon as I arrive into nyc on my next visit 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾“

“My husband and I really enjoy this place, lately, it seems to be closed often!“

“I recently visited Jacob’s Pickles and really enjoyed my meal. Their pickles were absolutely amazing, crisp, flavorful, and definitely lived up to the restaurant’s name. I also ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich with mac & cheese, and it was delicious. The sandwich had the perfect amount of heat, and the creamy mac & cheese made for a great combination.“

“💕 great, great, great!!!“

“Food is amaziing!!! Service is great and friendly. Try it out you will not be disappointed!!👍“

“Lets talk about it!!
I've been to all Peaches locations and today I've discovered something new about the Prime location. Service as usual is always amazing. Nahuel was our bartender and definitely serving with an amazing attitude although busy. Ilia was on tables and still stopped to speak to those in need.

Con: I ordered new items on the menu. Short ribs were clearly reheated and didnt taste fresh which was a disappointment. Cooking method matters with reheated food. So instead get the steak and eggs. Never steers you wrong.

Pro: Drink service will always be amazing as the drinks are consistent across all locations. Salmon cake is good. Depending on if you're a southerners or not.“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Vera's, and it truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked in, the warm, inviting atmosphere made me feel right at home. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring every detail of our experience was perfect. The highlight was the food. The barbecue chicken and sweet ribs were savory on the outside and juicy on the inside—mouthwatering. The collard greens and cabbage were seasoned to perfection. What I appreciated most was the authentic soul food flavor that reminded me of home. Great care and tradition are poured into every dish. Whether you're a longtime fan of soul food or trying it for the first time, Vera's is a must-visit. I’ll be returning soon! I highly recommend it for anyone craving hearty, flavorful soul food in a cozy setting.“

“Grew up with one of the owners. He’s been passionate about cooking good food since his teen years. Fantastic food, fantastic restaurant staff, fantastic atmosphere. Proposed to my now wife at Peaches!“

“I placed an order at Katie O just before closing and honestly wasn’t sure what to expect in terms of quality. I couldn’t have been more pleasantly surprised the food was simply outstanding. As someone who is very particular about soul food, I can confidently say this was some of the best I’ve ever had.
I ordered the turkey wings platter for myself and the catfish platter for my father, who is equally as selective about his food. Both dishes exceeded our expectations. Thank you so much for delivering such an incredible meal it truly made our night!“

“I found this restaurant on Tik Tok and I’m sooo glad I did! I had the best oxtail I’ve probably ever had!!! Thoroughly satisfied with my experience and will be sure to go again whenever I’m in the area!! 🤌🏾“

“Ate here last night and was most impressed by the manager Jiggy. Who corrected my drink and provided me with a drink he concocted which was A1 ! Also he has a great attitude which puts you in a good mood. Lastly food was also awesome especially the biscuit!!!!“

“Chicken is good! Seasoned & flavorful! Fries good too! Mac & Cheese needs to go back to the basics.“

“I celebrated my birthday here last night and can I tell you I am still smiling, looking at pics/vids sent to me and most of all still thanking God for the night.

It was amazing and all my peeps had a great time and talked about how good the food was.

Very nice atmosphere and it felt safe, which is important!

Thank you Essence. Special shout out to the DJ! A night I hope to never forget♥“
