When we first arrived they brought out cornbread which was delicious. For appetizers we got the egg rolls which had cabbage, chicken, and greens and we also got the buffalo shrimp. I asked for them to be tossed, and the sauce came on the side. No big deal, they were still good. I wanted crab cakes, but they were out so I got salmon cakes and to me they weren’t that good. My husband got chicken and waffles and the chicken was dry. Also noticed he was charged for whipped cream and there was none on his plate (decided not to say anything because it was only a $1 charge) We ordered drinks as well at the same time we ordered our food, and those took 15-20 min to come out. Service was very slow, and food was mediocre. Not worth the price.

Don't know never made it the Trump rally came and there was no parking for the business to have so much traffic they need to have some type of parking lot for the business ?

Our first time coming in here and I must say I wasn't disappointed but I wasn't impressed. For our appetizer we had the southern egg rolls which were delicious, but the fact that 1 order is just 1 egg roll cut in half for 8 dollars in my opinion is a bit much, so we ordered 2. Next the mains, my wife ordered the baked chicken with Mac and cheese and cabbage, the baked chicken was very juicy but over seasoned, the Mac and cheese was decent but that cabbage was just way to sweet for our liking. Myself I ordered the shrimp and grits w/ bacon. Flavor wise I thought it was perfect but when I asked the hostess was it supposed to be that cold she picked up the plate and said "well the bottom of the plate is warm". Not trying to make a big stink out of it I asked her to simply put it in the microwave, she came back with a fresh order but now forgot my bacon smh, once I asked my waiter for my bacon, another server stood off to the side analyzing my plate like I'm gonna lie over bacon. All in all I would recommend that if you haven't tried it yet please do so. Picture of shrimp and grits was the first order before i asked for another

My first time coming to this place and the place was amazing and delicious. I ordered the big mama fried chicken with the cabbage and mac n cheese. It was unlike anything you ever tasted. And the atmosphere was a vibe as well will definitely be going again

I think the service and atmosphere here is better than the food. First off, they should stop wasting money and time with that "cornbread" like thing they serve. Doesn't taste like real cornbread to me. The fish was breaded well, but didn't have much seasoning. The Mac and cheese is also basic. I think for the money the food is below standard overall.Fried cabbage was excellent!!!I will say, if you are in the area and you want to get okay food and drinks with friends or your significant other, then it's at least worth a try.

So my family had a large party and the manager was rude as hell the big heavy set one and I been here before and he act like he didn’t want to be there which is cool but your a manager you need to act like one and have some good customer service even when my grandma was ordering the wait staff had a smart attitude if you can’t have any decency to have some common sense and act like your at work go tf home

Greeted upon entry and had a reservation with friends. The ambiance is welcoming and I loved the throwback R&B music they played in the background.The food and drinks were AMAZING! Started off with the corn bread that is brought to the table, delicious. The catfish, greens and yams were all flavorful. I'll definitely be a returning customer.

Food was great. I try not to order chicken from restaurant but was told it was worth it here and it definitely was. My partner ordered catfish which I normally detest but I tried it and it was delicious and melts in you Louth like butter! All the sides are good and the cornbread is darn near a dessert.
