We decided to dine at this establishment and I must say we were absolutely delighted by the food, service , everything. Our server Elle was fantastic and very attentive to our needs. For our appetizer, we ordered the deviled eggs. Four dinner we ordered the four piece Fried Chicken with Mac & Cheese, Collard Greens and Mashed Potatoes. If you are a M&C fan, you MUST try there Mac! The Collard Greens were Fantastic! If you're wondering around Philadelphia, I definitely recommend that you stop in the black hen and have some dinner.

As someone who enjoys supporting businesses of color, it breaks my HEART to have to write a review…read morethat is lined with what will be perceived as negativity. So when you read this please take these as constructive critiques to help improve the business rather than a knit-picky tirade. Ambiance: as we walked in, there were carts of various chicken products, congeals, and bags of flour that were being carted in and out of the restaurant. This continued throughout the entire meal. I recognize that it is possible that there is only the one exit which makes this process difficult for the customers not to see, however it is a bit jarring to see those things while you are eating. Especially when you are asking customers to stand up because the table set up gets in the walkway where the cart is moving. There was also a noticeable hole in the ground where we were seated and my foot slipped in it on my way out, which is dangerous in itself. Service: as we entered there was no one attending the front desk, it almost seemed as though it was just a self service desk similar to a fast casual restaurant so we walked back to the seating area to see what was going on. Eventually someone came out, asked us how many and then proceeded to get on a personal phone call and went outside as we stood there. I recognize this could have been an emergency and she did apologize afterwards. Once we were seated and ready to order, a member of my party asked a question about chicken pieces and it seemed the waitress wasn't very knowledgeable about what was written on the menu. We also noticed she was the only waitress attending about 9 tables. Food: I got what was suppose to be the equivalent of a Thanksgiving sandwich, the gobble gobble that was suppose to include: stuffing, mashed potatoes and some form of gravy. The sandwich was dry and while it came with a sauce on the side, something like cranberry would have elevated this sandwich. I assume at some point this did have a cranberry relish or cranberry compote addition but on this particular day it did not. We ordered the various bbq sauces and that really helped elevate this sandwich. As a table we got the Mac and cheese to share and it was particularly sharp, I don't have much to say about this because some people prefer their Mac this way. Another member of my party got the fried chicken stack and he enjoyed everything about it! While he thought it was a lot, he thought the chicken was fried well, the mix of ingredients was balanced and it was so much food he took half of it to go! We all enjoyed the fries as stand out and particularly yummy. Overall: I believe this place is trying. I think operating as take out and order in could work if the set up of the resturant wasn't strained by the singular exit and the super narrow hallway. Having one waitress made the wait times particularly long but again I understand the constraints of the restaurant. With all of these fundamental issues I don't believe their price point is justified,especially the cork fee. However, they are the only Black owned restaurant(to my knowledge with the leaving of their sister company Amina) in Old City so there is a lot of potential there! I hope to return with a much better experience!

Unfortunately, the chicken and waffles were completely drenched in BBQ sauce, which overpowered the flavor of the food. It felt like I was drinking BBQ sauce straight from the bottle. The fries were well-seasoned, but they arrived cold and soggy. The restaurant's layout also wasn't ideal. The seating felt cramped, and I kept getting bumped into from behind throughout my meal. On a positive note, the waitstaff were very attentive, friendly, and helpful, which made the experience a bit better.

The restaurant has a great atmosphere and is set up nicely, making it a fun place to catch a game. Overall, we had a great experience, with the service being the standout. Overall Ratings Atmosphere - 5/5 Service - 5/5 Food - 4/5 Parking - Street Parking Atmosphere - The restaurant has a modern and inviting atmosphere with plenty of seating. It's a great spot to watch sporting events, and the energy during the World Cup Final made the experience even more enjoyable. Service - Our two servers were absolutely amazing. They were personable, friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome. They checked on us regularly without being overbearing and were happy to answer our questions. Their excellent service really elevated the entire experience. What We Ordered - -SouthGate Citywide - Good. A refreshing drink that paired well with the food. -$1 Wings - Excellent value. The wings were crispy, cooked consistently, and had great flavor. We tried both the soy and spicy sauces, and both were delicious. -Sotteok-Sotteok - Unfortunately, this was the only disappointing item. The rice cakes were noticeably undercooked, and the Japanese sausages tasted like standard store bought varieties. Considering the wait time and the price, this dish didn't live up to expectations. Final Thoughts - While one of the food items missed the mark, everything else about the experience was excellent. The atmosphere was fun, the wings were a great value, and the service was outstanding. Honestly, just the interactions we had with our servers alone would be enough reason for me to come back. I'd happily return for the drinks, the wings, and to try more of the menu.

It was like fresh bread, perfect cooked and seasoned chicken and that pesto set the sandwich off... Whoever is making that pesto needs to bottle it up and sell it by itself of you don't already lol.

There will be some areas that I will specifically focus on for you to make a decision on…read morepatronizing or not. Service ambience and Price. The service at the counter was somewhat lackluster. Enough to get to your order, but not a person who easily respond to questions about the menu or possible suggestions. But I got through it. Regarding ambience, this place has the right idea but a long way to go. When you enter, the music is extremely loud as if you were in a nightclub very difficult to place your order without the person getting in your face, which is slightly uncomfortable. The vibe is basement or cellar dark, heavy not a well lit area. That's OK for the evening, but not necessarily the daytime. However, what it does give off an appearance of being dirty because of the darkness and the chairs. They have beautiful high back fabric chairs with short round tables that will allow you to eat, hang out with your friends/family and chat. It is BYOB. The chairs can use a good steam cleaning. The chairs and the entrance are high top bar style tables for two possibly three. The prices on the online menu are different than the menus in the store. There is also a surcharge when you're using your credit card and $15 cork fee BYOB. You get a decent amount of food for the price however I found it overly seasoned or salty.
