That's an entree I share with the boyfriend because otherwise I'd just go crazy. The cornbread stuffing is one of the best things I've ever had in my life. I love that stuffed chicken so much too. The boyfriend loves your fish stew and shrimp po' boy. I can't wait to get home to Pittsburgh to taste you again. Signed, Your biggest fan

First off, it wasn't clear to me until I got there that this was takeout only. Yelp has separate…read moreentries for Carmi Soul Food and Carmi Express, and I thought they were separate outlets. That it was takeout only presented a dilemma for me, as I was just visiting the North Side for the day by bus and foot, and had no place to take my order. Of the two people behind the counter, one could not have cared less about my dilemma, but the other was of some help with this and my order. I wound up walking two blocks downhill to a park with benches. Second, that all orders are cooked to order and take 25 minutes. Fortunately there is a branch of the Pittsburgh Public Library across the street and it was open, so that occupied my time. The food: the chicken and catfish are fried in light crispy breading, very fine. The chicken wingettes were delicious. The catfish was not easily flaked and was ever so slightly rubbery, which would have been a very bad sign if it had been any more so. But it wasn't too bad. Green beans are a good side dish at this sort of joint, and these were good, seasoned with meat and sautéed onions mixed in. The white rice was entirely plain but tasty.

I know I definitely need to try more items from here. I tried the linguine, Apple pie, and the sweet potato pie. The linguine was very clearly homemade and tasted delicious. The portion was very solid for just $5. They had numerous kinds of vegetables, like mini broccoli bits, tomatoes, and more. The oil was well seasoned and very tasty. Nice bit of acidity as well. Very good, and the pasta was cooked perfectly! Came in classic cold form like with pasta salads. The apple pie was again so good. They had huge pieces of apples in there. The crust was very well made. Not too sweet, and the "sweet sauce" portion of it was great as well. Amazing portion, nice homey taste. I have never tried sweet potato pie, but now I know it's actually very good! I didn't even order sweet potato pie, but they gave it to me for free, as it was just a few days after Thanksgiving. They are the best! This sweet potato pie wasn't too sweet and the portion was very large for the price! You get your own mini pie for $5. The inside is creamy and has the perfect level of sweetness. The outside provides a nice crisp for contrast. I love it! All in all, this place is simply awesome. They have lots of delicious items on the menu, and I can't wait to go back. Amazing desserts, great prices, great portions, fresh food, and great owners!

The ribs were very light skinned and I had to put them in the oven to cook them until they were done. Everything was extremely salty. The ribs and chicken didn't taste grilled at all. The turkey wings were sitting in old juice and wasn't worth getting. The Macaroni and cheese was nasty. It tastes like something sweet was in it. The greens were extremely salty as the green beans had no taste. The potato salad was very bland. This is not a place to try. The ambiance was dirty and dark lighting in the building .

I ordered a pork rib platter and a wing platter, each with two sides. Both the wings and ribs are fall off the bone with tasty sauces. The greens are tangy and mustardy, the beans are rich & sweet and the mac & cheese is creamy. Its legit. I even enjoyed hanging out and watching Leave it to Beaver while waiting for my food. Thanks for a yummy dinner, Popie! I'll be burping smoke later and thanking you again.

Now, I'm sure some of the quality of the items might not be the same as a fine dining place, but it was still delicious. The steak and cheese sandwich came in quite a large portion (especially for the incredibly low price). The steak was surprisingly fairly tender and not too fatty. There wasn't a ton of cheese on the sandwich, but just enough to make it tasty. The bun itself was kind of soggy, but not incredibly so. All in all, this place has some nice meats and amazing sandwiches. Some of these prices are truly stellar, it's definitely overlooked, and I would love to come back!
