This location has been shut downGreat food, friendly staff. Unfortunately this location is now closed down and there a lock on the door. Wish it was still open because they had the best shrimp and grits I've ever had

Went in for fish with greens and yams. Best soul food in Arlington!!!! Just moved from Michigan and I’ve been searching for a restaurant that reminded me of home and I finally found one. Was able to write my name on their lovely wall too.

How am I supposed to order if no one picks up the phone and the "voicemail is full"? I tried ordering through doordash for delivery and pick-up and neither method worked. Forget it. Y'all lost my business. Bye.

Split the Fried Chicken with my wife. Candied Yams and Green Beans. Crust has excellent flavor. Green beans and yams had good flavor as well. Breast piece was very moist. Served extremely hot which made it difficult to enjoy with breading. Meat was low on flavor. Probably great when eaten together.Only real complaint is that I was made to feel uncomfortable because of my lack of melanin. Guess people who look like me shouldn't enjoy soul food.

decied to try this place out. order 3 dishes, $72. i ask for a togo container to split one of the plates. she said we do NOT give out containers... i doubt if i will be ever going back. 72 dollars and she wont give me a paper togo box. young lady, you do not understand business client retention. the quality of the food is absolutly muted due to the negative experience. no food is worth it.

The food is good. But they don’t give you enough sides. You definitely don’t get your monies worth. They serve toddler size portions. It’s super

The food is delicious I had the fried ribs which I love the candied yams and green beans. I have never been disappointed, the portions are a good size. Totally worth the money.

This was my first time ordering from here. You wouldn't know they serve food, because it looks just like a store. However, the service was good. The kitchen is located behind a door. You can't see it, nor can you hear anything going on back there. My food was brought out. No dining in, only take out. The fried okra was delicious. It barely made it home. I was amazed when I opened the container with the catfish, shrimp, and grits because It was a lot. It was very tasty. I would definitely go back.
