    Chicken Wings (3) & Eggs
    Amy F.

    A friend of mine couldn't recommend this place enough and we were finally in town to give in a try. The staff is super friendly and sweet. Felt like such a warm greeting and all throughout the meal as well. We sat outside on the patio which was perfect. There's some seating inside as well. The menu consists of your classic diner staples along with some curve balls like chicken wings and fried catfish. They also seem to be known for their fresh juices which were very tasty. I tried the chilaquiles with chorizo and it was very good. The crisp on the chips held up, the sauce was good, my egg was cooked exactly as I asked, the beans were flavorful, and the chorizo was meaty. I will say the rice was a miss for me but other than that I enjoyed my meal. I also tried some chickens wings and their waffle. Both we soooo good. The fried on the wings is great and they're huge. I would definitely come back next time we're in LA.

    We wanted to explore breakfast cafe in the around. Within walking distance , we found CJ's cafe. It's a family type of restaurant. The servers are very responsive and friendly. The menu has a great variety of food. I ordered a breakfast burrito and my boyfriend had the eggs with grits. The pricing is very reasonable and we saw more and more families coming in to enjoy a good breakfast.

If you can get…read morehere without a car, or have someone possibly keep driving around the block until you pick up your food, would be the play. The parking is a premium with them sharing a lot with other businesses. If you do decide to eat here, it's a small place, two tables at most. With all that our of the way, even on my first visit to this restaurant, the gentleman behind the counter treated me like I was a regular. That made a huge impression on me. No nonsense at all. I had to order the oxtail because I saw good meaty (thick) they were compared to a lot of places I've had oxtail from. The sides I chose were corn and Greenpeace. They were generous with the portions and I was grinning from ear to ear. I had to tell the gentleman behind the counter how I appreciate that his oxtail axial had a nice amount of meat and not mostly bone. He told me he butchers it himself and makes sure his customers are treated right. Just writing this made my mouth water and I really should make another trip back.

So you order online and they send you an email and a text which is very convenient. As you can see from the pictures the hot food is ready to be served. Kind of like fast food Chinese food takeout I ordered fried catfish nuggets, the mixture of cabbage and greens, dressing aka stuffing & Black Eyed Peas. And my niece ordered a pineapple drink Which she loved. The complimentary cornbread could've used a lot more seasoning. But my food was yummy. The catfish was soft and I could taste the mealiness grit of the cornmeal. The Black Eyed Peas were flavorful as were the greens. The dressing aka stuffing was forgettable but I'm a Stovetop fan tbh. I am going to return to try their liver, but I think that's made only once a week. The price was average. I actually called over the phone maybe three times to ask questions and the staff was extremely professional and polite. Sidenote each call the phone was ringing a lot which tells me they were busy. will recommend for sure !

Like many restaurants, they have had their ups and downs, but they are hanging on. We have bought the Family Special which is no longer a Sunday option, but on other days.

We had some friends and family over, so we purchased 2 Family Specials and some extra Corn Muffins. That was plenty for 7 adults and 2 children with a little leftovers.

At 1:21 1 hr later I got my food, and to my disappointment when I got home the food was not good the yams i don't even have words for, the greens no seasoning and a lil under cooked, the succotash the okra not cooked well again no seasoning and a lot of end pieces, the black eyed peas no seasoning very bland, the cornbread was very thick. So sad the state this restaurant is in, they need to revamp too much going on door dash orders, online orders, dine in and orders at the window. So with that said this will be my last time going back to this restaurant.

The level of authenticity can be felt the moment you walk in. Every patron of the restaurant can be seen expressively enjoying their food. When you order a main protein, it comes with your choice of three sides & ofc their famous cornbread muffins. All the food is insanely filling so prepare to take home leftovers. * Beef Links 10/10: A massive, spicy beef sausage on top of a soft & fresh slice of white bread. It can't get any better. It stayed hot throughout my meal & was appreciated so much. That is f***g good. * Cornbread muffins 10/10: DELICIOUSLY served as an appetizer before your meal comes out. Comes fresh & hot with a side of sweet/cinnamon butter. It's perfect. * 8 Pc Wings 10/10: Seriously the best wings I've ever had in my life. Soul food restaurants know exactly how to coat the wings so that they become insanely crispy when fried. That aside, the Hot Honey seasoning was especially flavorful & mouthwatering. *Mac n Cheese 9/10: This is my style Mac. Not too ooey-gooey wet but just a perfect amount of cheese & roux. One point off because it has a smokey taste which just isn't my preference. * Candied Yams 11/10: MY GAWWWD. I'm in heaven. If you like very sweet potato's paired with a perfect buttery cinnamon dressing, then step right up. These are insane. I'm obsessed with that type of thing. *Greens w Turkey 3/10: Was not the biggest fan of this side. The flavor of the turkey overpowered the whole dish. The greens clearly basked with the turkey rather than just being placed together. I couldn't taste the greens, just meat flavoring. * Cabbage 7/10: I love cabbage. This side isn't anything crazy, it's a very simple thing for you to pair with whatever you ordered. Every meal needs one side that rlly holds it down. *Fried Okra 12/10: Seriously, you cannot get soul food without trying fried okra. This is just amazing. Perfectly crispy & delicious.

We got the fried catfish, which was nicely seasoned and crispy, with fried okra, collard greens with smoked turkey, and gravy over rice on the side. My friend got the oxtails with mac & cheese and was probably my favorite dish we tried. The oxtail was rich and tender, and that mac & cheese with the oxtail gravy together was good. We also tried the candied yams, and later got more food to take home because we were too full, like the cornbread. Their watermelon drink was really good too, and we got ours spiked. My friend told me he likes drinking it with Hennessy, so l we had to test that theory afterward. I can confirm it was a good combo. The restaurant itself had a nice, relaxed ambiance and I really enjoyed the food. My only issue was the wait, it was way longer than expected, and I'm still not really sure what caused it. Unfortunately, that was enough for me to knock off a star. Still, the food itself was worth trying, especially if you're craving some comforting soul food. I'd come back, hopefully with a shorter wait next time. 8/10

I saw that my favorite Cajun Pasta was on the Happy Hour Menu and decided to order it with Shrimp along with a glass of Kona Big Wave to celebrate the theme of my Moana Movie Day :0) My Cajun Pasta tasted just as amazing as I remembered it to be and I ended up returning last night to order the full size on the weekend to enjoy outside on their beautiful Patio! I also tried their Fried Green Tomatoes Appetizer which was so good and a personal recommendation from my Coworker Bartender who raves endlessly about it.
