    Chicken wings, yams, Mac and cheese, cornbread.

    Visiting from out of state and found this place on Yelp. We arrived 30 minutes before closing but the food and the service were as if we came at peak time. The food was AMAZING. The portions are enough to feed 2/3 people off 1 plate. The chicken wings are whole and fried to perfection. The yams and Mac and cheese definitely top tier. My friend got the turkey wings, yams, and cabbage/collards mix. If you're in Camden or any of the surrounding cities and want some soul food, Corrine's Place is where you want to be. True down south flavor but in the north.

    Food was absolutely amazing and so was the service! Wings $ fish perfectly fried and the cabbage was out of sight! We'll be back again...soon!!

    To my mind, this is the only valid soul food place in Philly... and it's in Jersey. But I tried and tried and tried to find someplace in the city and nothing met the standards. So over the bridge I had to go. Corinne's is basically a "meat and two" type place. All of the mains that I've had have been great, except for the salmon croquettes, which were just okay. All of the sides are delicious. Standouts include the greens, yams, and mac. Cornbread used to be included, but now it's an add on (maybe $1.50). The cake slices are most definitely made from box mix, but they put that jello pudding in there, so they're moist and delicious. The peach cobbler is just alright. Closed on Mondays. And closed a little to early almost every day. Definitely call before you come if you're taking out -- the wait can be up to 45 minutes if they're busy.

    While I don't think many dine in at Corinne's Place--looks like the dining room is used mostly for events, lured by its recent placement as #42/50 in Philadelphia Magazine and a recent James Beard award for regional food, we greatly enjoyed our dine-in experience. We decided to go with the Family Value Platter (3 meats, 3 sides) for $110.00 and after indulging, each couple came away with a to-go container of delicious soul food. The platter comes with two desserts (individually packaged) and we had a pitcher of sweet tea. Upon our server's recommendation, we tried the (1) fried chicken, (2) fried whiting, and (3) barbecue pork ribs along with (a) baked mac & cheese, (b) collard greens, and (c) rice & gravy. We also had a side of fried chicken wings, which turned out to be much like the fried chicken--not bad leftover, though--and some okra, corn & tomatoes, which had great flavor! The whiting is a delicate white fish and was terrific with a hit of Corinne's hot sauce (definitely ask for some if you like your food spicy!). The fried chicken was perfectly juicy and crispy. But the barbecue pork ribs won the meat game with fall-off-the bone, delicious BBQ sauced meat. My favorite sides were the baked mac & cheese and the collard greens--the latter were so tender! And the apple cobbler was sweet and cinnamon-y. I agree with Holly W., I did wish there was less plastic used, at least for those dining in, but I'm sure we'll reuse the platter for a potluck down the line!

    I was unaware Corrines was undergoing renovations when we decided to go. We were ushered to a large tent , equipped with heat lamps , and seated . It was a cold windy day. The tent was warm initially but it got pretty cold out there pretty quickly. Now for the good part .... The food was excellent . The portions were generous . The server was very friendly. I ordered fried chicken, collard greens and sweet potatoes (they are not candied , it's a tender sweet potato) ... and a side of catfish. My entree was very good but the catfish was EXCEPTIONAL. My husband ordered fried whiting , Mac and cheese and okra . He enjoyed his meal as well. I will definitely be back ... after the renovations

    My hubby and I dined here on a Sunday evening, which is open buffet day... I am not a fan of buffet style eating because I don't like the idea of random people picking over food that I may be eating BUT Corinne's buffet is staffed and only her team handles the food AND they keep it covered when they are not serving, also a huge plus is that the pans of food get refreshed periodically... The buffet is all you can eat. The offerings on the night that we came were: fried chicken, sliced ham, cabbage, string beans, baked Mac n cheese, candied yams, yellow rice, turkey legs or wings, curry chicken, beef ribs and something else (maybe ettouffè - I forgot to ask) - of this I tried the fried chicken, the curry chicken, Mac n cheese, cabbage, candies yams and string beans. I cleaned my plate the first round; the second round was too much for me to handle - lol. The staff here was awesome and very welcoming - I felt like I was visiting with my family. My hubby and I sat outdoors under a covered patio tent and listened to good music playing while we ate. I can't count how many times the staff came over and checked on us; the customer service was stellar!!! And the highlight - Corinne greeted us and checked in to make sure we were being taken care of. I regret that I did not get to take a pic with her because I was too busy stuffing my face and then dashed because a storm was looming. But when I come back - I'm going to take a pic with Corinne first - before I eat! ;-) The atmosphere is very laid back and the are very reasonable too. My hubby and I did push ourselves (hand to forehead) to eat dessert but it was just OK however, that wasn't what we came for - we came specifically for a good (home cooked tasting) southern style meal and that is exactly what we got! Looking forward to another visit :-)

    From Sundays' buffet - Day 1: Had to place some of it on a plate because it was so much food!

    Sundays, $18 for a buffet (that Corinne's Place staff serves; while being masked up -- might I add) is unbeatable! Had to get that out the way. I was very impressed with this spot. Parked, walked up and waited in a line briefly (on a Sunday afternoon - 12ish). The older gentleman that was standing outside -- was so kind and talked with me about the establishment. We were both masked, which I appreciated. Customers seemed to be welcomed in by the groups that were together. One at a time. Thumbs up! Apparently, I stopped by before the crowd. When I left -- the church crowd was lined up and ready to come in chile! Now to the food. Two and a half days worth of food! For my order, I tried the delicious: fried fish, fried chicken (drumstick), mac & cheese, greens, candied yams, potato salad, cornbread and lemon cake. Everything was great! I did not try the turkey wing yet but I'm sure it's good too. Both customer service and food was great quality!

Staff was friendly and on point from beginning to end. They do take the dress code seriously, I saw people get turned away for athletic wear. It's clear on their website and not asking too much for an upscale night out. Prices weren't ridiculous, especially since portions were plentiful. A lot of people were leaving with leftovers. The specialty drinks are a bit pricey tho. The cornbread and Mac n cheese are a must order the moment you sit down to start things off. Both served in a small skillet, perfect to share. The cornbread bread was flavorful and the butter that comes on top you def want to let that melt right in! The Mac n cheese noodles were a little softer than I would of preferred but the blend of cheeses and the crisp crust on top made me not worry about the doneness of the noodles, it was top notch! We went classic with the entrees - catfish with gulf shrimp. The catfish was cooked perfect super tender and flaky. I wasn't thrilled with the shrimp, for "gulf shrimp" as they listed in the menu they were a lot Smaller than I expected and a little tough. The sauce they came in was nice. I would have liked some kind of sauce on the side for the catfish. The collard green rice was delicious and the broccoli that came with it was prob the most delicious broccoli I've ever had, just cooked well in lots of butter! The other entree we got was the fried chicken. Really delicious and tender. It came with a sweet potato side that was yummy and a classic collard greens Even tho we were stuffed we had to try the bread pudding, it was served with a Side of delicious ice cream.

The restaurant is so beautiful that we saved money by not needing to bring in flowers to make it look wedding-ready. Multiple guests told us that the food was some of the best they'd ever had at a wedding. Cecile, the events manager, was incredibly responsive and detail-oriented, and she was happy to work with us in accommodating our guests' dietary restrictions and navigating the neighborhood noise restrictions. At the wedding itself, the staff were all warm and helpful and made things run smoothly. When I forgot my bridal bouquet, the staff rescued it and had it ready for my mother to pick up the next day. Our wedding was 75 people, and we had plenty of room to have everyone seated for the ceremony and dinner, plus space for a dance floor. We met with Cecile a few days before to walk through our plan, which she had clearly read through carefully, and she and her team were able to execute everything with no issues. In many ways, she acted like a day-of coordinator for us, which meant another big expense saved. It's a gorgeous space for an event with a great history, the food is delicious, and the staff are fantastic. What more can you want?

I paid attention to how the staff would handle the situation. After helping the current customer, the cashier gave him a cup of juice. I didn't see any payment, so I assumed it was offered to him. As he stepped outside, I asked my husband to check if he wanted something to eat. When my husband came back, he told me he had given him money. While that was kind, I honestly would have preferred to get him food myself just to make sure he actually ate. A few minutes later, the man came back in and sat at the counter. At first, I didn't see anyone approach him, but shortly after, the staff brought him a bag with food. I'm not sure if he ordered through the take out window then came in, paid the waiter, or if it was provided to him, but either way, it meant a lot to see. He took his food and left. What stood out most was that the staff didn't ignore him, rush him out, or treat him like he didn't belong. At one point, I even heard a staff member ask if he had received his juice, which made me think this wasn't their first interaction with him. In a world where people are often overlooked or dismissed, it meant a lot to see a business show simple human kindness. Treating people with dignity and empathy shouldn't be rare--but unfortunately, it often is. For that alone, Honey's Sit 'n Eat deserves recognition. Oh... and the food is always great!

I do not know the names of different types of seafood, and whenever I dine out, almost every server asks if there are any dietary restrictions or allergies. As I read through the menu, the dishes sounded new and delicious. I said, "This sounds great--can I try this tilapia thing?" I specifically referred to it as "this tilapia thing" because I did not know it was fish. I don't eat fish, I had no idea people eat fish for breafest and I don't know they name of any seafood. Well I know bass and salmon :-) When our food arrived, I saw that my dish contained fish. I immediately informed the waiter that I could not eat it because it was seafood. His response was, "What, you didn't know tilapia is fish?" Despite his obnoxious tone, I replied respectfully, "I had no idea that was fish."He looked at me with clear disdain and said, "Well, I still have to charge you for the fish, so what else would you like?" I replied that I did not want anything else, just the bill.I will never set foot in Honey's again. I am deeply disappointed by the way I was treated and I am not a fan of privileged individuals who believe they can treat others with disdain and disrespect. Never Again!

The food was honestly a 10 out of 10. The collard greens were so good and full of flavor, and I got the smothered turkey wings which were amazing. Definitely ask for extra gravy because that gravy is too good not to. My friend got the shrimp and cheesecake pop and the portion size was actually really solid. I also cannot forget the cheesesteak beignets because wow... such a creative idea and they were amazing. I asked for the sauce on the side and it initially came out wrong, so I had to flag someone down to fix it, but once they corrected it everything was perfect. Now the only downside for me was definitely the service. We really were not checked on much outside of taking our order and bringing drinks. Anytime we needed something like boxes, extra help, or corrections to food, we kinda had to wave down bus boys or random staff members passing by. A few more table check ins would've made the experience so much better because the food itself truly deserves top tier service. Parking can also be a little annoying, but I did notice there's a garage across the street which helps. Overall though, I absolutely loved this place and I'm so happy my friend brought me here. Even with the service issues, I would 100% come back because the food alone is worth it. I love the drawings on the wall and the place has a cute and cozy feel which we love!

    We dined here the other day, and they actually opened a few hours early to accommodate our group,…read morewhich we really appreciated. They also have a private dining area in addition to the regular seating, which is nice for groups and special occasions. Since we had a group, we were able to try quite a few things from the menu. For the table, we started with the deviled eggs with smoked paprika and micro chives. You can add lobster, but we had them as they came. They were very plain--nothing bad, but nothing exciting or memorable either. The warm black-eyed pea dip with pimento cheese and crispy red corn tortilla chips was pretty good. We also had the crispy rock shrimp tacos with hot cherry pepper glaze, Southern slaw, and a fried green tomato shell. Those were good enough that I believe we ordered a couple of rounds. The Peri-Peri sticky wings were definitely a favorite for several people at the table. They came with pickled vegetables and what was described as a blue cheese foam. Now, that foam looked more like whipped cream, and I couldn't detect much blue cheese flavor at all! My young niece apparently thought the same thing because she kept sticking her finger in it. We also tried the warm cornbread with crispy fried jalapeño, orange butter, and sorghum syrup, and that was good. For our entrées, a couple of people ordered the salmon and said they enjoyed it. Someone else had the turkey wings and enjoyed those as well. A few of us had the lobster bisque, and THAT I really enjoyed. It was a rainy day, so a warm bowl of lobster bisque was perfect. I ordered the oxtails, and unfortunately, they didn't do much for me. They weren't necessarily bad, but the flavor just didn't stay on my palate. Nothing about them really stood out or made me think, "I need to come back for these." My brother ordered the pan-seared scallops with sweet corn crème brûlée, fried green tomato chips, okra-tomato stew, and secret sauce. The scallops themselves got lost in the dish because the okra-tomato stew completely took over. I would have preferred the scallops to be the star of the plate rather than being overwhelmed by the stew. For dessert, we tried the banana pudding with vanilla wafer dust and banana brûlée. It was definitely a different presentation, and you really needed to mix everything together. It wasn't bad, but the pudding itself didn't taste particularly homemade to me. We also tried the caramelized apple pie spring rolls. I only had a small taste, but those weren't bad either. We had a couple of cocktails as well, and everyone seemed to enjoy their drinks. Our server, Shay, was GREAT very accommodating and attentive to our group. The service and the fact that they opened early for us were definitely appreciated. The restaurant also has a bar and a fun little photo booth where you can pay to have photos taken. One thing to watch out for: the unisex bathroom floor was pretty slippery when we were there, so be careful. Now, PARKING! Give yourself plenty of time. This is Northern Liberties, and parking can be tight. There is some timed street parking and additional parking around Girard Avenue. I got lucky and found a spot, but I would suggest arriving at least 30 to 45 minutes before your reservation so you're not stressed trying to find parking. Another option is the nearby ACME garage I'd go all the way to the upper level or save yourself the headache and Uber. Overall, most of what we tried was good, and we had an enjoyable experience. There just wasn't one particular dish that stayed on my palate and made me feel like I needed to RUN back for it. The candied yam puree, lobster bisque, rock shrimp tacos, sticky wings, and cornbread were probably the standouts from what we tried. The oxtails and deviled eggs were a miss. No flavor. I love the dishes the food was served on. Would I go back? Yes. There are enough things on the menu that I haven't tried, and I'd be willing to return and order something completely different next time.

Businesses should not limit promotions based on language or cultural backgrounds. People from different cultures are able to enjoy other cuisines. The Chinese-speaking menu has way better options and quality than the English one, which is very disappointing. I advise everyone to not dine here. This was my biggest concern with this restaurant. There was a menu on the back of the happy hour card that was written only in Chinese. I asked the waitress about it and questioned why there wasn't an English version available. Her first response was that it was "for the Chinese elders", which is not listed anywhere on the menu by the way. After returning to the table, she added that many people "don't eat pork or like spicy food." I explained that spicy food and pork are enjoyed across many cultures, including African cuisines, so that reasoning didn't make sense to me. Her final explanation was that they simply hadn't printed an English version yet. The interaction felt dismissive and inconsistent, which left a bad impression. Beyond that, the overall service was poor. The atmosphere did not feel welcoming, there were no check-ins during the meal, and food was dropped off without any follow-up or engagement from the staff. If you do not speak Chinese, you are able to use Chatgpt for translation. Philly is a diverse city and does not need any business that is unable to cater to all customers fairly. Lastly- the food is very underwhelming. The blueberry tao chicken and udon noodles were overcooked. The fried rice was salty. The string beans and wontons were good.
