“Wowza! This place served up a grilled chicken sandwich that rocked my taste buds like a concert! Paired it with a diet coke because, you know, gotta watch that figure while indulging in deliciousness. The sandwich was so juicy, it had me questioning if chickens secretly moonlight as magicians. And the coke? Well, it fizzed and danced like it was auditioning for a soda commercial.But seriously, folks, this joint knows how to do food right. The ambiance was cozy, the staff was as friendly as a litter of golden retriever puppies, and the whole experience left me grinning like a Cheshire cat.In conclusion, if I could, I'd eat here every single day without hesitation. Do yourself a flavor and swing by for a grilled chicken sandwich extravaganza! Five stars !!!“

“5 stars, because the food is *chefs kiss” I picked up my to-go order during a lunch rush and when I got home I realized it was not what I had ordered. I called once I realized the mistake and Crystal (manager) was so polite and even asked ME how I wanted it to be handled. I completely understand how hectic it gets and sometimes things get mixed up. No biggie, I was able to go back and get my correct order with Crystals help. She even gave me a cookie. So with that being said…. 5 STARS.“

“Ribs had a nice, mildly sweet, smokey flavor . The ribs are not the most tender, they aren't smoked for long. Mash potatoes and gravy was tasty. Broccoli casserole is ok. They try way harder than most restaurants with the Mac and cheese. 3 sides, 4 bones of ribs, $15. And the plate is heavy! They're not stingy with portions. I will try their very affordable chicken baskets next time. Customer Service was good.“

“This food is really good. The candied yams are ? ? ? and I’m a yam snob! Cornbread is homemade, chicken is definitely on point and the Mac n cheese definitely has soul! I’ve tried the other soul food places around town and I grew up in the south. This little store is giving them some serious competition!“

She was super attentive, always making sure our coffee was topped up and even warmed our mugs before serving. Her suggestions were spot-on, and our order was perfect. The service was quick, and she was incredibly friendly throughout. The restaurant was clean, and the food was hot and delicious. Highly recommend, especially with Kimberly as your server!---Does that fit better with what you're looking for?“
