    Baked chicken (white) with dressing and collard greens
    Rikesha F.

    I don't give 5 stars often. But when I do, there are 4 basic requirements that a restaurant has to possess in order to earn MY 5 stars: a.) great food b.) top notch service c.) affordable prices and d.) clean dining area. Destiny on the One passed the test. After church, my mom and I decided to try this place out. Since we attend church in the area, it wasn't a far drive. As we arrived, we saw a few cars parked but not a crowded parking lot, which was just fine for us. As my mom found her a seat, I approached the cashier when it was my turn to order. I explained that it was our first time eating there, and I asked if the entire menu was available. The friendly lady who took my order said yes and waved to mom after asking where she was sitting. She said she wanted to make sure my mom was properly "welcomed" as a first time guest. Major brownie points here. I ordered the fried pork chop with dressing and Mac and cheese. I ordered mom the baked chicken with collard greens and dressing. A lemonade and peach tea rounded our order off. After walking to another window to pay for our food, I sat down with my mom. We did not have to wait long for our food to come out. We got it in to-go boxes just in case we didn't finish it all. To summarize it: both of us throughly enjoyed every last crumb of deliciousness that we had on our plates. So much that we didn't even need the to-go boxes. Everything was seasoned just like someone's Grandma was back in that kitchen. Even my mom, who can be hard to please when it comes to soul food, was happy with her plate. We are already planning on making this our weekly eating spot after church. It's just that good. At less than $20 for two plates with two drinks, the price was very affordable. The workers were super friendly and made sure that we were pleased with our food and our service. This review will serve as the answer to that. I kinda want to be selfish and keep this place hush-hush so it won't get too crowded, but I can't be like that. I want them to do well because...they deserve to. The food is awesome, the service is awesome and the prices are awesome. And to me, that deserves my 5 stars. Awesome!

    Fried Pork Chop Plate with Collard Greens, Mac and Cheese, and Cornbread
    Omar S.

    My meal hit the spot. The pork chops were huge, the collard greens (could have been seasoned a little more) and mac and cheese were really good. The corn bread was absolutely incredible (it reminded me of my mother and grandmother's corn bread). They fry their pork chops hard, which is my preference. If you prefer your pork chop to not be fried hard, you may want to ask. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, you are unable to dine in. All orders are to go.

    It was good. However the reason I ordered it is because the place I initially wanted turkey and dressing and cranberry sauce I could not order from door dash (I'm bedridden due to surgery so I have to order delivery) so I ordered this place. Well, I didn't get the cranberry sauce which I'm super disappointed that I paid for. But the dressing is delicious. The beef tips and rice are lacking. The meat looks a bit odd and the sauce is very watery. The cabbage is tender but lacking flavor. The corn bread very nicely portioned but taste a little mealy. The Mac and cheese is good. I imagine this will all be better with hot sauce. It's not terrible. But first impressions do matter however I will be giving them another shot. I see potential for sure. Today just may not have been the best day for them. The portion over all is definitely enough. I look forward to trying them again with hopes my second time will be better.

For dinner I had the Gumbo and my girlfriend had the salad with shrimp, crab, and crawfish. The gumbo was seasoned excellently and tasted just how I make it at home in like 7 hours. My girlfriend's salad was amazing with the homemade ranch. We came in late and the service was still top notch. Finished off with banana pudding and my girlfriend said it was the best she's ever had. We were just in town for the weekend but to anyone looking for a place, do it!

A family member told me about this spot a few months ago I decided to come by after my hair appointment for lunch they're located on the south side right by the tracks parking was ok if you don't mind a little gravel but plenty spaces very cute establishment not a lot of seats but just enough the ambiance is giving a it feels like home setting the service was impeccable I was greeted warmly and with smiles by everyone my server was so sweet and patient with me I had no clue what to try they have a pretty extensive menu lots of items to choose from she suggested the joy special which was a little of everything I wanted all fried with one side it came with fish crab claws and shrimp but I opted for more fish since shrimp and I don't see eye to eye anymore my food came out hot and fresh all the sauces and dressings are homemade my side was the salad and it was very fresh overall I'll definitely be back 10/10 across the board !

We ordered off of their lunch menu and got the short rib sandwich with brussels and their cobb salad. While I personally can use a bigger portion, I was not starving at the end of the meal lol. I guess it is good policy to leave people wanting more, right? Food was tasty overall and they definitely have some unique items or ingredients in their entrees. You will run probably at least around 30 dollars for two at lunch. We obviously caught them at a busy time even though we were the only two there at the beginning as they were expecting a large party and they were prepping catering food, but our food still came out within a reasonable amount of time. I did notice one of the chef on his phone one minute and then touching cooked food that he's serving the next to package it for catering....without washing his hands. I can't help but find that a bit gross when I consider how very dirty a phone is since that's literally something you touch all day, all the time, regardless of what you're doing. I will leave it at that, ha.

When I got here I groaned a little because there was a long line and I was hungry. However, the line moved quickly and I got my meal in record time. Ordering was easy and the people up front were super nice. Did I mention the food came out quick? It was just as delicious as it was quick. I went with an order of the Asian zing wings. They were sauced up the way I like it and the chicken itself was crispy and juicy. The sauce itself was unique and bold. I had a spoon to eat the leftover sauce on my to-go container. A coworker of mine had the Philly. While I didn't try it I can verify that based off their reaction that it was incredible. There's not many tables to eat here, as this seems more of the place to grab a lunch to go. I see more visits in my future!

My salad was fresh and my one piece of toast that was cut in half was warm when I got home. The two small bags of Ranch salad dressing was insufficient for the size of salad received. Unfortunately I didn't have any other dressing at home so I tried making something with items in my kitchen. That was a fail! Next time I will either stop at Aldi to buy a bottle of salad dressing or pay for extra at the restaurant. Had I parked and went inside, I would have discovered this issue at the restaurant. Lesson learned. The outside of this location was free of trash and clean. There were several people at the window getting orders together. Unfortunately I lost sight of my credit card and it looked like it was laid down on the counter next to the monitor. I saw when one of them picked my card up and gave me it and my receipt. I turned my card off immediately as a precaution. They need to improve their protocol for customer satisfaction. It's going to be a week before my bank can send me a new card. All because I don't know where my card was when below my line of view!
