    What a great new find. We love great soul/comfort food. Very flavorful and lots of food. I really enjoyed everything I ordered. The baked beans were delicious! Cute little spot right off Shadeland Ave, order and go or grab a seat. Plus everyone was very friendly.

    Oxtails. Cabbage and yams

    Where has this place been?? I've heard about Kountry Kitchen and His Place, but Greens & Things-is new to me. I'm glad we stumbled upon this quaint little spot. Our first try was amazing. Great food and faster than their competitors down the street. I had the smothered chicken and my husband had the oxtails. Our dishes were really good. We will be back. Updated: We've been over there a couple times now and I will say, they could work on their consistency. The third visit wasn't AS amazing as the first time. That's probably why they dont have as strong a following as their competitors. And also why I could only give 3-stars versus the 4-star I had previously awarded. The staff is pretty friendly. The young lady did make a mistake on my order-but made it right without attitude which makes a difference. Sometimes when mistakes are made the people on the front can get attitude and don't want to fix the mistake, but that wasn't the case at all-and it didn't take all day. To me: the smothered chicken and oxtails are the best dishes along with their cabbage. Their mac & cheese isn't consistent one day it's amazing and then on the other day not so much. A friend of mine had their meatloaf; which they only serve on Sundays and was not impressed. So if you try that- use caution. To me they'll be my go to place when I want some good ox tails and smothered chicken. We personally don't eat pork but I know they have ribs and pork chops-I might be willing to give it a try-but might go during the week versus the weekend. During the week is when I've had the best results versus the food on the weekends (surprisingly). If you want to try my friends at Greens & Things-go during the week and try one of my favs mentioned above. I hope they get more consistent-Because when that happens I promise you they'll be the number one soul for on the Eastside.

    Love this place and can't believe it has been in the neighborhood and I never knew. I had a half slab of ribs, greens and mac-n-cheese. Pros: -Friendly staff -Mac n cheese was on point. They use a flavorful blend of spices. Not bland at all. -greens were on point and seasoned well. Cons: -ribs were lacking a little. Not a lot of flavor and a little tough. I'll be back to try something new!

    Small order of ribtips + fries.

    terrible. they chop up the tips so small til its only gristle. they were old. idk if they refried the fries but as you can see... they were brown and tasted like the oil they are using is old. so disappointed

    I got the turkey ribs, they were good. It's hard to find places with this option so it's nice to know they have them. Nice customer service

Very fine beef filling and delicious pastry. Mac n cheese- amazing! Zesty and creamy. Perfect with the green beans! Green beans- so smoky and tender. Pairs perfect with the Mac n cheese! Gumbo Greens- I was so excited, but I didn't really like it. Too much filé or herby for me. Gave it a weird taste. But it was thick with meat and rice and greens! It ain't cheap. And it's really good. We will definitely try more things!

    To be honest, I had been wanting to give this place another try because the first time I visited,…read morethe main entrée -- the oxtails -- was extremely salty. I finally made it back today around 8:45 p.m. I knew the restaurant closed at 10 p.m., so I made sure not to come at the last minute. I ordered and paid for my food at 9:06 p.m. My concern is that I was told my order would be ready in about 10-30 minutes, but I did not receive my food until 10:06 p.m. I remained patient and respectful the entire time, but there was no apology for the delay. Then, after getting home, I found the food once again overly salty to the point that it was difficult to enjoy. For the price paid, I expected better quality and customer service. I truly want to support Black-owned businesses, which is why I came back and gave the restaurant another opportunity. However, consistency, professionalism, and consideration for customers should remain the standard for everyone at all times. I hope this feedback is taken constructively, because there is definitely room for improvement in both service and food preparation.

I couldn't…read moredecide and ordered WAY more than any one person should ever order on their own LOL I got the fried catfish plate (with fries and coleslaw), the veggie plate (comes with three sides, I got dressing, mashed potatoes, and mac and cheese), cornbread, and the cucumber tomato salad. THAT CATFISH BABY! It was fried to absolute perfection. The crunch was absolutely perfect, the flavor was spot on, and the fish was so tender and perfectly cooked! The salad was stunning. The cukes had been sitting in the liquid for so long that they were translucent and it was incredible! I'm super picky about cornbread because it's usually so dry, but this was delicious! Could even get a bit of sweetness in there. Yum! When it comes to the sides: Mac and cheese was decent, not the greatest, not the worst, more middle of the road. Mashed potatoes were basic, dressing was ok but the texture did a number on me. Id get the mac and the potatoes again, but not the dressing. I don't usually like coleslaw, and this coleslaw wasn't bad! Overall, I'll be back!

They have a small patio, a modest dining area and a full bar with seating. You will find a TV above the bar to watch. I loved the restaurant's colorful murals of all the famous people dining there. They have daily food and drink specials. They had $2 wings and $5 margaritas when I was there. This restaurant is known for soul food. I will say that I was very disappointed with my experience here. Our server was nice but was not very attentive. My order was wrong. I ordered the hot honey chicken with cabbage and stuffing. I got okra instead of cabbage. Also, it took about 15 minutes for me to get my food, and it was luke warm and was not very good. my stuffing tasted like it came out of a box. My friends said the same about their mac and cheese. We got deviled eggs as an appetizer and we were not impressed with those either. My chicken was mid. I have had better and I have had worse. I really wanted to like this place, but it has really fallen off and fell short of what I expected. His Place is so much better than this spot. I hope this restaurant is able to turn it around soon.
