10/14/2013 I received a flyer advertising a new soul food restaurant, and decided to check it out…read more I am a Tennessee native and really miss authentic soul food. They have a fair amount of items on the menu. I opted for rib tips, dressing, baked mac&cheese and collard greens. Deeeelicious! You can tell the greens were fresh and they used smoked turkey. The dressing was very good. I was told it was the grandmas recipe. Also i was given a free strawberry lemonade and peach cobbler (excellent) for my wait, about 12 minutes. Very impressed! The atmosphere was clean and the staff were very polite and welcoming. I was given a coupon for 25% off my next visit a my husband and I will surely be back!

To begin with, the experience starts before you can get both feet in the door. Being new, Alexis greeted us as if we were new found cousins. Quaint, yet classy, with decor that reflects the warmth of the establishment as a whole. Very clean. Pimp had the Pork Chop dinner with cabbage and collard greens. I had the Catfish with greens and yams. All I can say is ...... who big maw back there putting the foots in them greens??? Everything was impeccable. The wait was ..... wellllll. It was well worth it. What amazed me more than the food was how nearly everyone who walked through that door was GREETED BY NAME. 30 minute drive from my home. We will be back.

This place is such a unique, comforting place to have deeply flavorful food…read more The staff is incredibly friendly, the music is on point and the food is seasoned to perfection. They even Have games to play. We decided to start with catfish nuggets while we played Uno. They were perfection. The seasoning was just right and they were not greasy or heavy at all. Next, we ordered the shrimp po boy , sampler with yams, collards, Mac, mashed potatoes and gravy and cornbread. Amazing. The collards are the best I've had and yams had the perfect spices. We splurged on bean pie for dessert. Do not pass this up. It's unexpected and creamy. We will put this spot on heavy rotation.

Ordering on their website is effortless and I was impressed with how well they manage their curbside pickups with clear, concise instructions. I placed an order on their website; paid online and chose curbside pickup. Was given a time window for pickup and also received a message when my order was ready. Drove to the parking lot behind the restaurant; found that there are 4 parking spots dedicated to the restaurant. As soon as i got there I replied to their message with my parking lot number and within a minute my food was brought to me ! We wanted to sample a few items and decided to go with "just meats" along with a couple sides and ordered breaded honey lemon pepper and naked lemon pepper dry seasoning chicken wings; honey lemon pepper chicken wings were mouthwatering and the dry seasoning chicken wings were pretty good too. Also tried Cajun salmon and found that it was perfectly cooked and packed in a lot of flavor. Absolutely loved the six cheese Mac and cheese; it was creamy and so comforting !! Side of chicken dressing with stuffing was flavorful. I will continue to order from soul food by deja when I am in Battle Creek. Very happy to support to this business !

I, unfortunately, was not very impressed. I had high expectations from browsing social media and…read morewas unsure of what to order. The guy at the register suggested the pasta and I obliged, however it was just ok. Very aesthetically pleasing, but the sauce was bland and almost tasted jar-like. The noodles were extremely over cooked which put a damper on things as well. My colleague had the bbq Mac and cheese (i forgot the actual menu item name) and really enjoyed it. I suggest trying something other than the pasta. On the bright side, their R&B selections made for a nice homey/feel good vibe. I felt like I was sitting in one of my aunties' house having family time.

I think there was only one person working so ring the bell if no one comes to the window. When we ordered, he said that it would be about 35 minutes. There are 4 tables for eating in. We had the rib tip dinner and the pulled pork. Each dinner comes with 2 sides and cornbread. I had the collard greens and the candied yams and they were both really good. The meat was also very moist and tender with good flavor. Each dinner could feed two people. I would definitely come back!

I wanted to try the pork chops but they were out, so I got the rib tips with gumbo greens and dressing for the sides. My dad got the same, and my mom got the fried catfish with yams and turnip greens for her sides. I thought the rib tips were good and I would order them again. The dressing was just "okay" and unfortunately I bit into a large chunk of fat from the turkey meat in the dressing so that didn't help. The real star was the gumbo greens. My dad was also not a fan of the dressing, but he said he would have gotten the gumbo greens for both his sides if he had known how good they were. My mom enjoyed her food as well as the strawberry crunch cake I suggested she get. I am not sure if I missed it my first visit, but when my order was being rung up I noticed a cash and non-cash price flash on the screen. I did not see any signage on the door about the extra fee for paying by card, and the cashier did not mention it. That is such a big pet peeve for me. Had I known in advance, I would have come prepared to pay with cash. I am sure I will return again, but restaurants really need to be transparent about these excess fees.
