    Haven't eaten here yet but my buddy did and he said it's amazing food. Get the turnip greens and…read morethe cornbread. yum yum yum yum yum yum is what I heard!

    Food Made With Love…read more I'm visiting from out the state and the only food I desired was southern cooking. There were a few choices on Yelp and Google but I selected P&D. The first letter of the husband an wife names. My expectations were high, and they should have been based on the reviews. This is not a standalone location as the are other businesses within the same building. You won't see P&D on the exterior signage but you will see "Soul Food Kitchen" A la carte buffet style food served. I like this so I could see what I'm ordering. Which is way I should have not purchased the Mac&cheese. Macaroni noodles and shredded cheese melted within. A serious faux pas for macaroni and cheese. I observed how many customers appeared to be regulars, and several people were ordering additional food to take home. I ordered two full meals. The main dishes are served with cornbread dressing on the savory side or rice. One suggestion for P&D would be to offer a brown gravy option alongside that is not meat-based specifically for the dressing. The highlights for me were the yams, fried fish, and pork chop and red velvet cake. Those dishes were well seasoned & well-prepared. Without being critical of the other side dishes this is what I would say: Sharing a few side dishes with your group before committing to larger portions. If you're a singleton stick to yellow rice, yams, and beans. While some food choices did not meet my palate, I can understand why this place has a loyal following. The welcoming familial atmosphere, location, and comfort food are sometimes the basics of what people need to get through the day. Service: 5 stars Food portions: 5 stars Food presentation: 4 stars Parking: 5 stars Returning?: Unlikely "When food is made with love, it's hard to critique the heart."

    Hey there! Went to Nikki's place this past weekend with my wife and my son and I'll tell you, it…read moredidn't disappoint. I've been wondering for a while where to get some good stick to your ribs so food, so when my wife told us that Nikki's Place reached out to her to come try some authentic soul food, I had to join her. We had to make sure to get an array of different things to try as much as possible. So we ordered.. smothered pork chops, fried catfish and shrimp, lemon butter chicken wings, red rice, Collard greens, Lima beans, black eyed peas, cornbread, candied yams, mac and cheese, and some onion fries.. with some sweet tea. I want to tell you, every bite I took had me closing my eyes and smiling. My only complaint was the lima beans were a little bit salty, but when I ate it with everything else it didn't really matter. The lemon butter fried chicken wings were absolutely amazing. I have not tasted anything like that in my life. You can't go there and not get them. You need these wings. I'd also like to say that all the sides are meat-free , so vegetarians come get some . We ate till we were full, and we had enough to take home as well. We took an order of bread pudding home for dessert and that was absolutely delicious too. Overall absolutely great food. The staff took care of us very well. Highly recommended!

    There's nothing that reminds me more of growing up in the south more than southern cooking. Nikki's…read morePlace will certainly make you feel like a part of a southern family. This authentic taste of soul food is on par to what I grew up eating at my grandma's house. Everything from smothered pork chops with fried okra to fried chicken and collard greens. Not to mention they're amazing yams. Their legacy, their hold on tradition and the ongoing consistency is what keeps me going back.

    Prepare to wait in line, but trust me, it's worth the wait! I heard about it on Somebody Feed Phil…read moreand saw the profile on Instagram! I ordered a variety of food so I could take it home and enjoy a few meals. The yams are simply divine, buttery and sweet. The turkey dressing was so satisfying! The turkey wing was served with rice and was ladled with gravy. So delicious and tender! The ribs honestly could stand alone with out any sauce. The house smoked ribs have so much love and knowledge in each bite. The mac and cheese sells out, so be prepared to get in line early. The potato salad was tasty. The fried chicken was crispy and delicious. The dinners come with house made corn bread, wrapped lovingly with parchment paper. The cake was moist and delicious! I got the butter pecan cake and I can't wait to try all the other desserts!

    Stopped in for lunch, my experience was ok. The guy serving was preoccupied on his phone while…read moreserving yea that could have been handled better. cashier had no customer service at all no smile, no welcome, just standing there. Food portion was a bit too large for me because I just wanted a little bite for lunch, that was more a dinner plate than lunch. Then no substitution when I'm willing to pay to substitute makes no sense cuz I didn't want rice. Cornbread was dry, chicken tastes cheap, potato salad was too much and watery. I think this could have been a better experience and with some adjustments I think it can be. I love supporting small business but this experience did not make me want to come back.

We ordered the fried chicken…read moredinner with mac & cheese and greens, and the fried conch dinner with pigeon pea rice and greens. Everything was fresh, hot, and full of flavor. Ordering online was simple, and we received a notification that our food was ready before we even arrived, making pickup quick and convenient. The restaurant was clean, and we were warmly greeted as soon as we walked in. Since it was our first visit, they even treated us to complimentary drinks, sauces, and cake, which was a nice surprise. Great food, excellent customer service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend!

    I really thought I was going to have some good soul food. But I soon felt like I was being robbed…read more Dinners come with two sides but if you want collards or Mac and cheese it will cost you an extra 8.00. (3.99 each) why? Soul food is not soul food without collards and mac and cheese. Just add it to the menu price and not make it a surcharge. They had no sweet tea and no cornbread for the greens. Gratuity was added ( which is NOT a big deal) but they actually charge you an extra 3% service charge for the use of the toast system which is their computer! cash or credit you get charged 3%. Really? That is just plain ridiculous. robbing the patrons is not a good idea. Oh did I mention someone was smoking weed and the smell came into the dining area? The servers on the other hand are great. They smile and are friendly. two of us spent 98.00. We do not mind spending 100.00 for lunch Food was good but not worth 98.00
