Using a blog post from the town's website, I made my list of places to visit- Home Cookin' wasn't on it. On a whim as we returned to our lodge, I googled "soul food". Behold, Home Cookin' came up, and it was in my area! It was a God deal. In fact, Home Cookin's love-filled soul food inspired a praise dance as I ate it! Sooo good! Plus...Home Cookin's staff was warm and welcoming- like I was their family visiting their home. Their service was quick, but I didn't feel rushed. They even invited me to come back and see them again before I left town. I did! And here's why: I could hardly contain my excitement for the opportunity to enjoy their home cooking again! Sooo good! (Pictured: Well-seasoned baked chicken, green beans that reminded me of my grandma Hattie's, creamy macaroni and cheese that I devoured, and the fried-to-order fish meal I savored on my second visit. Not pictured: Homemade Sprite Pound Cake and Peach Cobbler- both of which I indulged with pleasure!)

Finally got to try Nana Morrison's Soul Food in Cary! The restaurant itself is a pretty large…read moreestablishment with plenty of seating inside, plus a covered outdoor area that looks like it has garage-style doors they can open up when the weather is nice. Definitely a cool setup! I went around lunchtime and there was no wait at all to order. I decided on the fried pork chop, which I didn't realize was a made-to-order meal. I expected a little bit of a wait because of that, but I was honestly shocked when it took about 25 minutes to get my food. My friend had already finished her smothered chicken by the time mine came out Thankfully, her chicken was VERY good because I definitely stole a few bites while I waited! As far as my meal, I think next time I'd order something that's already cooked and ready to go and probably switch up my sides. The mac and cheese and yams weren't quite as good as I was hoping for, and the cornbread muffins were pretty dry and probably my least favorite part of the meal. Now the sweet tea?? SWWWWWWWEEEEET! They definitely understood the assignment on the Southern sweet tea! Overall, I'd give Nana Morrison's another try. There were enough things on the menu that looked good, and after tasting my friend's smothered chicken, I know there are definitely some winners. Next time I'm skipping the made-to-order wait and trying a different combination of sides!

They are located in a nice little spot with ample parking and it's easy accessible. The interior is simple but clean. Plenty of seating. The ladies who work here are very friendly and helpful, came around a few times to check on me, offered fried side to go with the greens , offered a refill on my sweet tea. Great service! About the food. Probably the BEST FRIED CHICKEN in the area. I really can't judge on that because I haven't sampled other fried chicken in the vicinity but based on my own research of sampling fried chicken all over North Carolina, I feel confident in my assumption. It was fried just right. It was SEASONED. It had a very nice batter that was crunchy and the chicken in the inside was tender and juicy. Every bite was tender and juicy. These ladies should teach a cooking class on how to make fried chicken-to other restaurants. The SWEET POTATOES were perfectly cooked and flavored in butter and cinnamon. You could eat it as a dessert. But not overly sweet. Just right. The GREENS were tender and seasoned perfectly. Greens and fried side with their delicious CORNBREAD could be a meal in itself. The SWEET TEA-perfect! All around, best home cooked food/soul food you can get. I will be back and I highly recommend for true SOUTHERN COMFORT food.

I remembered that I'd heard about a new soul food restaurant opening in the White Oak area and…read moredecided to give it a try. While the location is great, the business doesn't stand out well enough to attract those that may not be looking for it. I parked into the back and entered the back door. While they sell soul food, the vibes feel super Jamaican. Black paint with green and yellow accents. Fairly large and very clean dining area. The cashier didn't really greet me when I walked up. She wasn't rude, but she wasn't friendly or welcoming. She did complement my shirt. Her non-verbal cues made me feel rushed. I had to ask her if they were sold out of anything. That information was not offered. I also had to ask her the price. I ended up ordering the lamb chops plate that came with rice, and two side. I opted for the collards and mac n cheese. It took maybe 5-8 minutes for my plate to come out. 3 other people came in, ordered and left before I did. I think it was because theybhad to grill the lamb chops. Visually the food looked delicious. Very generous serving of everything. However, the collards were the most disappointing collards I've ever had. They didn't taste bad. They just weren't seasoned AT ALL!! they just tasted like a collard with pepper flakes. The rice was just plain and Not seasoned. The mac n cheese was pretty good. They need to season the pasta a bit more and use a more flavorful cheese. The star was the lamb chops. They were a good size, seasoned extremely well, tender, and grilled to perfection! On top of that they gave me 4. They're They're the reason I'm giving 4 stars. I washed all of that down with a slice of their pineapple cake. It tasted like box cake with canned crushed pineapple on top. But it was delicious. I'd go back just for the lamb chops and cake. At $40 though, i won't go back too often. I hope the other sides are much better though!!

So glad Taste Da Vibez is finally in Garner! Let me just say--there are so many options that I…read morealready know I'll be back. On my first visit, I ordered the hamburger steak with rice, along with mac and cheese and green beans for my sides. Everything was good and full of flavor. The sides definitely gave classic comfort, out-the-box/canned vibes--but still seasoned well and satisfying. Most importantly, it's refreshing to have something in Garner that isn't just another traditional fast-food spot. The service was great and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Looking forward to coming back and trying more off the menu!

We stopped into Downtown Grub on a rainy Friday night. It looked pretty empty from outside but…read morethere were two other folks inside waiting for their food and someone waiting to pick-up a doordash order. The interior has lots of hints to music (art and decor) which I like but I'm not sure how it ties into the Downtown Grub name. The cashier gave us time to review the menu (on the wall). We ordered cheesesteak eggrolls and a two hot dog plate with fries. We wanted to get different toppings on the dogs but that was going to be difficult with their new POS system. We offered to just get the same thing but we were told that they'd get it and she wrote down our topping choices. After paying we were told it would be 20-30 minutes. That was longer than we were hoping dinner would take but I know kitchens can be tough. Our food comes out and the server says "I don't think those hot dog toppings are right." And, lo and behold, she was right. I'm not sure I've ever seen a server bring food to the table knowing that it's not what was ordered. She offered to fix it but after 20 min, we were just ready to eat. The hot dogs themselves were ok. Chili had good flavor. The first bite of the fries was great. They were really well seasoned...was what we thought. But they quickly became super salty. The cheesesteak eggrolls seemed to be just chopped steak eggrolls. They were massive but I didn't taste any cheese in the mix. I also wish they were crispy. For us, after a long wait, the meal just let us down.

Rating: solid 4.7/5.0 OM.....G! So I finally made it to Downtown Grub. The vibe is amazing, [seems…read morelike a family affair that YOU'RE a part of. They are seriously that friendly] Even the other customers were amazing during my visit. (Full disclosure: I am the type that feels this world needs more friends and less strangers and have ZERO qualms striking up a convo if the vibe is right) Now, the costs are a touch pricey but not outrageous and more a reflection of the current economy (Boooo inflation!). Blessedly, that is more than off-set by.......the quality and taste!! It seemed that everyone was up on the buffet angle, and it definitely seems the way to go. Deep fried shrimp, fried steaks and gravy, okra, each dish made fresh repeatedly and palette pleasing EVERY TIME. The green beans were so good I actually had to complement the chef (Do your thing Dom!! It was an honor to meet you all!) It was.... Wait a minute......actually disregard all I've said. (Last thing we need is unappreciative riff-raff with the taste buds of a 4th grader, and horrible Kens and Karens making wild requests and slowing down the line and ruining a _GREAT_ thing). So, umm, I forgot to mention the roaches! Huge! With 3 inch teeth and razor claws! Never seen the like. We barely escaped with our lives. I fought off two of them at once and escorted a couple customers to safety. Also, it's in high-crime neighborhood. M....Machine Gun Kelly came out of his grave and hit thr bank across the street! It'll be on tonight's news for sure!! New rating: .0067/30 Stay away from the store and the green beans! Ya greedy so-and-so! Cheers and love to all

Being a NJ native, originally from the inner city, this reminded of the corner stores where the best food is sold. I had the Catfish, Mac and Cheese, yams, and extra side of greens. The Catfish was nice and crisp, but I'm not quite sure if it's fresh caught. I'm not upset as this is a small run business, and it was still delicious. Now the Mac and cheese and yams were hitting! I didn't even want to eat them as quickly as I did because I truly want to enjoy them but I devoured every bit. The greens were ok, but I'm hard on folks about those lol But definitely support the local small businesses and if you're looking for some good soul food in the area, this is your place.

Items are limited as they do run out. The steak for example was out. The food was good like homestyle cooking. I would definitely go back because of the prices it was decently cheap for a group of 7 ppl our bill was like $80 with tip definitely left satisfied and ready to hit the road to go back home. The waitress was nice and staff were also nice they did refill and attend the table as needed. Would this place benefit from a bit of an upgrade yes but it might change the feel and nostalgia of the people who go here time to time. Definitely felt like a local spot how you have a McDonald and a Biscuitville down the block. Will make this a place to stop at when I go back to visit family.
