I was in the mood for food that would knock my socks off, I didn't know anything beyond that I wanted to be blown away ! I came across another soul food restaurant on Yelp & as I was heading there I saw someone mention this place in a review so I made a swift detour. Upon arriving I was greeted by the most pleasant woman at the counter & beautiful 90s R&B coming through the speakers. I was undecided but the lady at the counter was very patient with me. I ordered the fried chicken dinner with Mac & yams , Mango drink, blueberry lemon cake & a side of potato salad. EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING. The food took 20-25 as it's all made fresh & I didn't mind waiting. The chicken was seasoned & tasty! The mango drink was flavorful with the right amount of sweetness. I will definitely be back & I cannot wait to try more menu items.

We had an excellent lunch here today at this small restaurant. There are only two tables inside and…read morewe were happy to be able to snag one of them. They do a lot of takeout. They are located on the north side of Okeechobee Blvd next to the arcade. There's ample parking in the lot out front. We were warmly greeted by the personable owner who explained how the restaurant worked. And how to build your "soul" bowl. They also have "bites" like conch fritters and coconut shrimp and others . You start with your base. I chose mashed potatoes and he got yellow rice. The other base choice is white rice. The potatoes are red bliss chunky mashed and wonderful. He was happy with his yellow rice. I also got some turkey gravy on the side for my potatoes, but did not really need it. Then you choose your 2 sides. We both opted for the candy yams. I got macaroni and cheese and he got collard greens (with smoked turkey). The yams were delicious and addictive. He said the collards were great, too. Other sides could be cabbage, Lima beans, green beans, black eyed peas, or potato salad. Then you select your protein. I got the fried chicken -- white meat -- which was a perfectly lightly breaded meaty chicken breast and a separate wing. And he got (1) fried tender large catfish fillet. We both liked our selections. The portion in each bowl was so large that we took leftovers home for our dinner. Other protein choices on the menu are baked chicken or pork chops or snapper or turkey wings or oxtails. On the weekends (incl Thursdays) they have meatloaf and pot roast. And you get a square of sweet cornbread. I saved mine for dinner and had it for "dessert". Each protein on the menu is named after one of the owner's relatives. He's "Little Lynn"; and the restaurant is named after his grandmother. Photos of the family members adorn the wall above the tables. Your bowl is priced based on the protein you select. The restaurant will have been open three years to come this October. We hope they have a long continuing history (they began as a sauce manufacturer and catering company) as we look forward to many more delicious meals here.

You are welcomed as soon as you enter and if it is your first time, (and I guarantee it won't be your last!), the menu and servings are explained with lots of possible combinations. I chose yellow rice as my base, regular cornbread, collards and Yams as my sides, topped with a large fried catfish filet as my protein. They are very accommodating in your requests and eager to please. The kitchen is great and the Florida born and based culinary results are a hit! The pride and enjoyment of sharing food experiences growing up in grandmother Georgia Mae's kitchen is what makes this kitchen a success! Georgia Mae's is expanding and will soon be serving the Clematis Street neighborhood ... without the loud music! Julie and I will be there too when they do open! Five Star experience all around!

The music was so loud that I couldn't understand what the person waiting on me was saying. And I'm not hard of hearing. I asked a couple of times if the music could be turned down. After a while the person waiting on me turned the music down. The person waiting on me was nice. I just think that a person ordering food shouldn't be overwhelmed by the volume of music played in a restaurant. It was ridiculously loud.

This place had a limited menu. I not sure they even had a smoker. Boiling the meat does not qualify. They place this sauce on all the meat destroying the meat. I tried to scrap it off. The sides were limited. I settled for French fries and macaroni and cheese. The sides were all carbs. No Cole slaw. Buyer beware . I will never return.

Delicious and fresh comfort food. I ordered a fried shrimp plate which came with cornbread and a choice of 3 sides. The Mac and cheese, collard greens, and potato salad were my choices.

Served nice and hot. The potato salad was also delicious with a little mustard and relish for sweetness. While I was waiting, they really took care of me and were so kind and friendly.
