“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.“

Their Chicken Caesar Wrap was DELICIOUS. ($15) I can’t wait to go back to get it again. I also want to try their pickle chips which are $5. The only con was that they didn’t take cash.“

“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.“

“First and foremost, the food was delicious!! I ordered the fried wings with cornbread stuffing and Mac & cheese, along with a turkey wings dinner (with collards & potato salad sides). EVERYTHING was seasoned to perfection and well portioned sides. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 was because of the wing sizes. For the amount I paid (if you know you know), I think the chicken should have been larger. What I received reminded me of the skimpy wings I'd get from the Chinese restaurant. Other than that, I really enjoyed Kate O's, and would definitely recommend others to stop by (just don't order the wings lol).“
