The only problem I had was I wish I had more turkey, instead of putting the turkey wing tip maybe use the whole turkey wing. Fry them turkey tips and sell them. Also, a bigger piece of cornbread.

Mama behind the counter gave me and extra piece of fish and I couldn't be more grateful cuz the fish was crispy and juicy with just the right amount of seasoning. My man got fried chicken with Mac and cheese with a side of yams and greens. All was absolutely FIRE. The Mac and cheese was my favorite side and his was the greens. The dining room is intimate and the service was warm and welcoming, we'll be back for more real soon Edit. We took the banana puddings to go, one of them didn't make it out the parking lot

Also, I paired it with a piece of cornbread. Staff is super friendly and greet you upon entry. The ambience is very relaxed and open. It's located in a shopping center with plenty of parking.

Portions was massive, we definitely had delicious leftovers to. Service was great, we were greeted and seated immediately. Our server was knowledgable and offered great recommendations. I had the oxtails with rice and my two sides were potato salad and collard greens. I also had sweet cornbread muffin. I loved their cornbread muffin - need to know their recipe haha My partner had smothered wings ontop of cornbread with sweet yams, mac and cheese, and cornbread muffin. We were stuffed and had to walk it off Ambiance was relaxing and family friendly. We recommend this place to anyone wanting soul food!

I've been looking forward to trying soul food for quite some time since there aren't many places…read morein the Central Valley that serve it. I was excited when I found The Bussdown on Instagram last year and have been waiting in anticipation to try their food ever since. I noticed they started posting on their feed again and was excited when they announced that they'd be open from 2pm-7pm. I attempted to call in my order but had no response. Determined to try it, I drove to their site and saw they were still taking orders, so I got in line. When it was my turn to be helped, I was informed their fryers were down. They had other options, so I ordered the brisket, candied yams, + mac and cheese, and for dessert, caramel biscoff banana pudding. The total came out to $31. The lady that took my order said it would take about 20 minutes. 40 minutes later she informed me that they were just finishing up with my order, but they ran out of caramel for the dessert. When I finally got the food 5 minutes later, I took it to my car and gave it a try. I was disappointed off the bat. Apart from the food being lukewarm/on the colder end, I felt like the price I paid was not worth what I got. The Mac and cheese was not like anything I've tried before. It tasted like it had gorgonzola cheese which was not what i had expected/enjoyed. I thought the yams were tasty but lacking a punch. The brisket was tender but either needed to be seasoned a bit more or have more bbq sauce. The biscoff banana pudding was primarily Bananas, whipped cream, biscoff cookie and butter with a little bit of banana pudding. I really wanted to like the food but was disappointed with the whole experience.

The BAD, The prices are EXTREMELY high for the amount of portion sizes and flavor. I personally think the menu needs an update.

For the most part, I respect their establishment, but they should be able to understand where the customer is coming from.
