If Chipotle had a soulful, culturally rich cousin... it would be Spice Black. Period…read more I've been seeing this place all over social media, so when I found myself in the area, I had to see what the hype was about. First off, parking is easy. It's in a shopping center, so nothing stressful there, and the restaurant itself is easy to spot. Walking in, the first thing I noticed was how clean, polished, and classy everything looked. Even though it was busy, it didn't feel chaotic. The staff immediately greeted me and asked if it was my first time which I appreciated. They didn't just rush me through the line; they actually took time to explain the menu, how the bowls are built, and offered samples. That alone made the experience feel welcoming and intentional. Now let's get into the FOOD. Everything looked fresh. They have about four rice options (which is already a win), and I went with the pineapple coconut rice. For my protein, I chose grilled chicken, but they also offer shrimp, salmon, and even a mushroom option for vegetarians and honestly, the mushrooms looked so good I almost switched. For my added sides, I kept it simple because I really wanted to taste everything. Collard greens and sweet potatoes. But they also had plantains, and okra....real deal soul food options. Then you get into the fresh toppings. Slaws, carrots, pickled veggies. I kept it light. I finished my bowl with collard green pesto (which intrigued me, and I'm glad I tried it) and added an étouffée sauce over my rice... and listen!!!!! That combo? Chef's kiss. I grabbed a tropical punch juice, and just like everything else, it tasted fresh and well-made. Let me say this clearly: the food is a 10/10. If you're someone who will give Chipotle chance after chance, then you absolutely owe it to yourself to try Spice Black. 10/10. Worth your money. Worth the hype. Worth the experience.

The restaurant is nicely decorated with vibrant colors and very clean. The service is friendly and welcoming. The food was okay. Not bad and just good in my opinion. Its not rave worthy but its still good. I would come back and try other options. This is still a good healthier option oppose to the many of terrible choices we have to choose from, this beats most unhealthy fast foods restaurants. For that reason I would return to try other food options. If you like chickpeas then this is your meal, Im not so it threw off the salad to me. I would have preferred chicken. Honestly, everything came together nicely as one salad, nothing was over powering. I'm just not a fan of chickpeas. They do have an option for shrimp but dont eat bottom feeders so that wasn't an option for me. My tastebuds are much different from yours so I would still give it a try. You might like it a little more than me. Its still a fairly good meal.

We were in the mood for BBQ on Juneteenth and we just so happened to come across this local black…read moreowned gem. We gave them a ring to confirm hours (a must do!) and was delighted to hear that they were open. The menu has plenty of solid options; we didn't see cornbread listed and would have loved to have that with our meal. We took home the chicken bbq platter and ribs platter with a side of mac and cheese, greens, potato salad, and burger beans. I was expecting the chicken bbq to have more of a vinegar base but it was on the sweet side instead and a sandwich. It was tasty either way. The ribs were pretty good too, we had two sauces and we were a big fan of the hot sauce (it was less tangy than the medium sauce). All of the sides were a hit, seasoned well. I wish I could pick a favorite but am unable to lol. We will certainly be back to try more, the service was also exceptional and it was great chatting with patrons about the history of the place.

And everything tastes like it was just made. But what we like just as much is the customer service. When we order from DoorDash and ask for extra sauce/gravy, we get EXTRA! The portions are huge and there's no skimping and no upcharging. And the gentleman who answered the phone when we called to extend our gratitude after a great meal was so pleasant and appreciative. Eat here! I promise, you'll love it!!

EllaRay's was so good! I appreciate the fact that its one of those 'if you know, you know' places…read more From the parking lot, I don't think many would know that this is where this great spot is located. I was invited here for dinner with a high school friend who had been here before, and I text him appreciating the NEXT DAY, to say how good this place was. When you come in, you pass the bar and I'm sure someone has already greeted you by then. The customer service here was great! Throughout our entire hour.5 stay at EllaRay's, my table of 2 was probably asked at least 5 times if we needed anything - in the best way too, not the inconvenience type. The food is served hot-bar style, with someone there to present to you whatever you want. I ordered the smothered turkey, mac&chz, and cabbage, along with some red velvet cake and a mixed lemonade-tea mix that was sweeeeeet! The food itself was DELICIOUS. The smothered turkey was exactly that - see the picture of the portions too. The mac&chz was also that, cheesy, and the cabbage had a great spice to it, that I enjoyed! My friend ordered the yams, string beans and catfish - and from what he let me try (I was only interested in trying the catfish), I loved it! I think it would be something that I'd order as my side next time. For desert, I had the cake the following day and loved the fact that the icing was homemade - not heavy or thick. Now the only thing that I haven't noted was the service. Was the staff attentive and great with their recommendations, yes - but their line was just so long. Maybe I came during a rush but to get all of the delicious food offered, it did take a little longer than expected. Other that that, I loved this place! Pack your patience, and appetite!

This buffet style soul food spot lacked flavor and seasoning. I ordered turkey wings w/ collard greens and yams as my 2 sides. They give you what they say is cornbread but more like a corn muffin. Bland. The only thing I liked was the sweet tea. The service was ok, ambiance average, food mediocre.

Tasted the brisket, pulled port and cucumber, corn and tomato salad and had to remind myself that I was already full! Food is very nicely flavored. Will definitely order again.

The food is Buffett style but you can elect to have made to order options. The portions are huge depending on what you order so take an appetite or a friend. On this particular visit I had the big breakfast platter. The beef sausage I could have done without because it wasn't the freshest. I like eggs so that and the grits worked perfectly for me. For newcomers the options can be overwhelming but you can find something for you. The breakfast sandwiches are massive and made to order so you have a fresher quality of food. The lines can get long here but they move relatively quick. The staff are all friendly and will take care of you. This is more of a carry out but you mate elect to dine in. Overall 3.4 out of 5

I got a pork chop sandwich, and a pork chop dinner with greens and Mac and cheese as sides. The portions were great for the price, in my opinion.

I have yet to try the jerk chicken but oxtails and curry goat are indeed decent. Easily one of my favorite go to Jamaican restaurants in the local area. It is very difficult to keep up with the demands in a fast casual restaurant but DJH has done very well on my visits.
