But I didn't know where to eat so I ran to Yelp to find a place. WOWIE!! I got the pulled pork, macaroni and cheese, green beans and coleslaw on the side. I ordered hot sauce but it wasn't hot enough for me so the owner Ashley suggested the Gorilla Sauce. It hit the spot!!! I spoke at length with her and she gave me the whole rundown on the history and how the place came to be. Even her Dad being a former Tampa Bay Buccaneer!! If you're in the area DO NOT miss this place!! Thanks for everything, Ashley!! I'll DEF be back!!

She especially liked the baked beans, saying they were seasoned very good. I took the lunch buffet. Everything was good. The ribs on the buffet were more like what is called burnt ends.

Ok... alright... South Charleston, W. Va. I see what you're doing…read more Was passing through on my way home to SC and I yelped "soul food - Charleston, WV" and this popped up. Since I really only eat one big meal a day I was hoping this'd do. I gave it a shot. Had to park behind the restaurant because I didn't see any parking up front. Nice place. Looks like at night it could be a jumping little spot for drinks. I ordered something simple, fried chicken with yams, greens, and Mac. Great choice! Food was hot and tasty. Good portions too at a decent price. I only had water. If I come back up here I'd hit it again. It's not in the cut but across the river. Good food and good people.

The chicken was good, but I expected more seasoning. The greens&yams were phenomenal. The rolls seemed small and store bought, so I wasn't thrilled about that. So all in all, it was pretty good, but I wouldn't say excellent. The waitress was super sweet, and they had a station playing on TV where MJ was still black, so that ups the score for me! The only other complaint I had was that they didn't have grits, and that's what I was really wanting that day. Had to go get them from my usual place after I left. Oh, and the inside of the restaurant was really clean too, which I appreciate. As everyone on here has pointed out, it is a black owned business, so go eat some good food.. and if you have a problem, tell someone, I'm sure they'd accommodate, they seem like good folks.

And I like to eat where the locals eat, no chain restaurants for me if at all possible. So with those thoughts in mind I decided to give this restaurant a try. I'm so happy to have found this restaurant! A really nice place, serving huge portions of fresh food. The french fries were freshly made and delicious, salads looked extremely fresh, and the service was quick with a great attitude. The restaurant and bathroom was clean and without any bad odors, wonderful value for lunch. I had the pulled pork sandwich with fries as you can see in my photos. Come hungry! Small little unassuming place that truly delivers!

This comes with two sides. The slaw was good, and the hash brown cheese casserole was okay. The corn muffin was decent, with just a hint of honey. The pulled pork was served on a slice of toast. My personal favorite sauce was WV Gold, but they're all quite good. The pulled pork was tender and flavorful by itself. Good friendly service. Prices are excellent, especially for the quality of food you are being served.

First time dining here, and I couldn't imagine us ever coming back. Really disappointed. The…read morereviews were so good, we thought this was going to be great. We were in visiting on a work trip and we were looking for some great food. First off, the venue space is nice. I really liked the atmosphere and vibe. Unfortunately, things kind of didn't start well and they just went downhill from there. We were looking at the higher dollar menu items like the seabass and scallops. They had a scallops special that caught our attention but the chef wouldn't budge on the menu sides. We were looking for something lower carb. What I wanted was the scallop dinner with the special miso sauce, but instead of the sweet potato hash, I wanted veggies. But the server said the chef said no. Based on that, we both ended up ordering a hamburger. It wasn't what we wanted but we felt it was the safest option based on the quality of the appetizer. You see, we had ordered some calamari and it was so bad we had to send it back. It was nothing but hard crunchy batter. There was very little calamari actually in the pieces. You couldn't even pierce it with your fork. It was horrible. Based on the quality and flavor of the calamari, we decided to not take the risk on sea bass or scallops. The burgers came out and they were ok. Nothing special. I've read through some of the other reviews about the complaints of how salty the food is, and I can confirm the food we had was way over salted. Now for the service. This was a really awkward and uncomfortable night. The server was trying but he honestly didn't fit the price point of the menu. Each interaction was more awkward than the next. The things he would say and the way he communicated, made us so confused and uncomfortable. He was a nice guy, he just probably isn't a good fit as a server. We've had good meals in Charleston before, tonight wasn't one of them. The martinis we had were good, but we walked out of there only spending $70, while we had a budget of $125 each to spend. This restaurant lost out on $180 worth of business all because they didn't want to budge on the scallops dish. Do the math, this wasn't a smart business decision.

Who were polite, if not very welcoming to this non-local. They brought menus, rattled off the happy hour specials and took my order quickly, but then ... nothing much. No, "You're not from around here, are you?" or anything like it. On the plus side, the hazy IPA was quite good. Lots of stone fruit with only a moderate amount of hops. And the mini-corn dog appetizers BLEW ME AWAY! Better than I've had at many a county fair, and corn dogs are my weakness. These were hot, the breading nice and golden, and brought with mustard for dipping. All told, the prices were good. Less than $10 before tip for the happy hour specials, which were tasty. If I was made to feel welcome, I'd probably make the trip again. The food was good but lots of places have great grub. I'll find one of them next time.
