My wife and I stopped in Sunday after church for the buffet. The restaurant has good spacing and parties aren't sitting on top of one another. The restaurant is clean and inviting. It's a hidden gem specializing in Southern Style soul food. It's legit! Marcus and Monica take a lot of pride in the food that they prepare. Also they are focused on the customer experience. Family friendly is the name of the game here. This is my 3rd visit and 1st review. The buffet is only on Sundays and also the restaurant is closed on Mondays I had the buffet, shrimp, salmon, mac-n-cheese, candied yams, chicken thighs which were cut into strips glazed with BBQ sauce, and seafood salad. Everything was delicious. I made 2 passes. One note, the buffet items are placed on your plate by the staff when you come to the serving line. This keeps folks with greedy eyes and small stomachs from putting more on their plates than they can actually eat. Good idea. You can call ahead to place an order for pickup, you can order on line through Door Dash as well. Reservations are suggested if you have a large group of people. Most of the patrons are walking in customers. Cash/Credit/Debit cards are the accepted forms of payment. I didn't see Apple, or Google pay options. If you are craving honest to goodness southern style soulfood and you are in the area, check this spot out! The parking lot is just a few feet from the front door.

Welp can't say I'm surprised because I've read multiple reviews describing the nasty attitude the ladies have here and I guess it was our turn to see it unmasked. Awhile back I got food here for my family. First time visiting the establishment. It was a pretty positive experience. I got my husband the Salmon Caesar salad. Today he called me while out running errands. He said he was going to stop by there and grab another one. He asked me if I wanted anything and I opted to get the same. When he ordered they told him they don't have a Salmon Caesar Salad they just put salmon on a Caesar Salad......mmmmmm ok. They need to update the menu they have online because it definitely says they do and I definitely got him one before. Either way he placed the order at 3:00pm and asked how long it would be. Normal question right? Then he went and waited in the car to handle some business because he was told about 20-25 mins. That time passed, he didn't hear anything by 3:30pm so he went and checked on it. When he walked in he asked about the order and the young lady said it wasn't finished yet, so he asked about how much longer did she think. She said hold on and went in the back. Then instead of her coming back another lady came out and started preparing a bag. She never acknowledged my husband by speaking or nothing just started putting in utensils and then turned her back leaning on the counter. After a minute or two she turns around and asks my husband "have you eaten here before"? So my husband said yeah this is my second time. She said well if you're in a rush it's best to call ahead (we won't be calling at all FYI) because we make our meats fresh. Now here's the thing it's not always the message that's the problem a lot of times it's energy, tone, body language and delivery. My husband said they were just stank from beginning to end but he tried to just ignore it. As soon as he said that I said let me guess it was like a young girl originally and then a lady with red dreads. He said yup how did you know? I said because their energy was just slightly off when I was there but the two men that welcomed us the first time we went over compensated for it. I told my husband I know exactly what happened. The girl went back there and made it seem like more than it was when you were just simply asking because she doesn't want to be there. So the lady already came out with an attitude and worked herself up to respond in the manner she did. When all she had to do was come out, smile and say hello sorry for the wait and address the situation in a friendly professional manner. Then she would have seen there wasn't really an issue to begin with and retained a customer. You literally were just asking. My husband agreed. My husband is actually one of the most passive, non confrontational friendliest people ever unless pushed. We have a great 10+yr relationship with the restaurant owners on the end that have owned multiple restaurants in the area. Plus with many other small businesses owners in the area. My husband talks to everyone who owns a business because we own multiple businesses and he loves to hear and share entrepreneur stories. He actually starts everyone off with an A assuming they are decent humans. So when he came home and said I'll never go there again because them ladies are stank, the energy must of truly been exactly that. So here we have on our second time getting food here, 1. Stank attitudes 2. Despite what the online menu says no Salmon Caesar Salad just Caesar Salad with salmon put on it LOL! 3. No Caesar dressing or croutons despite serving Caesar salad. 4. If you check in on your order after the time given goes by you're considered rushing. No thank you! Side note we are in the media profession as one of our business. We have a huge platform and social media presence. We travel all over the country hosting business professional networking events and conferences for ourselves as well as for others. We have hired countless caterers and venues which are usually BOB's. We try very hard to support our own 1st. I say all of that to say ironically we were actually in the process of contacting a few places about hosting a small local networking event in this area and this was one of the places on our list. I'm glad my husband stopped in today. Lastly because we try to support our own. We don't really do the business blasting on our platform. What I will do is leave a review of my experience in hopes it inspires the business to do better because ultimately only you can be the reason you win or lose.

Beautiful vibe, nice & cozy scene, nice & professional workers. I came from Mississippi & I felt the food was up to par with what our grandmothers' foods were back in the day. LOVE LOVE LOVED the place!

I didn't ge the best idea of the ambiance because i came on their last day at this location. They are moving to mount Laurel, which is closer to me which is great because i will be returning. I experienced great customer service. The owner and her employees were friendly to everyone that walked in. I really enjoyed the yams, the Mac had a great flavor but I like my Mac baked a little harder. But everything else was grea

Mother of God!! I can't think of a better way to start this review. This is hands down the BEST SOUL/SOUTHERN food I have had in my life. Other places tend to drop the ball somewhere, but not here. EVERYTHING on my plate was the definition of excellence. Nice sized venue in a strip mall, so there's plenty of parking. They had a great Soul and R&B playlist going that if it didn't make you want to dance, the food joy surely will. The Cornbread was fluffy, moist, warm, & almost fell apart when you touched it (in a good way). No butter needed, but they still give you some just in case you wanted it. The Mac & Cheese was a masterpiece! I have nothing further to say about it. It needs no further explanation....MASTERPIECE!! The Yams were the perfect blend of hearty & sweet. The Fried Chicken stole the whole show. Perfectly seasoned, the perfect balance between Juicy & Crispy. I cannot say enough great things about the food here. I need a nap now though, because they are large servings. I will DEFINITELY be back to try more things on the menu.

At the table this was recommended by, a family member. Very nice portion size, everything tasted fresh and well seasoned. Im definitely looking forward to trying other items on the menu. -Beef Meat loaf was juicey and the gravy had a nice flavor -Mac and cheese was solid, wasn't the best I've had but it was still good -black eyed peas was really good -cabbage well seasoned and cooked the way I like not crunchy.

Oh my GAWD!!!! Oooweee. The food here is sooooo good! Wowzers. What a hidden gem not too far from Princeton. The crispiest, lightest fish ever. My family enjoyed the fried chicken wings, smothered chicken and ALL of the sides are delicious . They also have some of the best cornbread! Truly warmed our hearts to see a family run business and meet the family who is so warm and inviting. I will definitely come back!

I wanted soul food for my birthday and asked for local recommendations vs. having to drive to N. Jersey. This place was highly recommended by 3-4 friends and it didn't disappoint. They are new to the area, but experienced in the kitchen! I had the whiting dinner with mac n cheese and yams. My husband had the catfish with string beans and cabbage. My son had the wing platter with collards & he inhaled it. The chicken and fish were fried & seasoned perfectly. Bonus, my husband doesn't eat meat so the veggies weren't cooked with meat and were seasoned well. The restaurant was busy that night with a large catering job, but they still took time to stop by our table and say hello. People continued to come in for take out orders. We left full & very satisfied. We will be back to support this Black owned and operated family business. Please support - you won't be disappointed.
