    Lemon Pepper Wings
    Melisa F.

    Was in the Downtown area just a few doors away from Jenny's. Jenny's Night Manager stopped by and told us about Jenny's and what they had to offer. I decided to try the Meatballs, Lemon Pepper Wings, a the Roc (Ciroc) Punch. The Meatballs and Lemon Pepper Wings (which I had later on) were delicious. The Meatballs are served as a trio. The picture will only show one because I shared and ate one before realizing I hadn't taken a photo. It should be noted the Lemon Pepper is dry rub, not wet. That Roc Punch was so good. The kind of good that would probably sneak up on you after wanting and having more. Went over to check out the establishment. I immediately liked the ambiance and the atmosphere. Inside is spacious and comfortable. They also have Karaoke Night, Taco Tuesday, and Brunch.

    Taste: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Ambiance: 3/5 What was once Dexter's Birdland is under new management and now Jenny's Eat Drink Socialize. Our food was tasty and very flavorful, my egg scramble was made perfectly with a ton of cheese and my waffle was ultra sweet and delicious. Mimosas were decently strong (for a mimosa) and prices are more than reasonable. Staff were friendly and Jenny had greeted us and made sure we were enjoying our experience. Only complaint was that we were served dirty silverware.. if not for that I probably would have given this place 5 stars. Happy Hour with appetizers and drink specials daily from 4-7!

    Last night my husband and I went we found Jenny's eat and drink socialized online and it was still open. So we travel to downtown to Church Street worried about how this food was going to be. Boy we ordered fried chicken collard greens macaroni and cheese and cornbread and when I tell you I'm not collard greens eater and these collard greens were to die for. The whole meal was so delicious I cannot even understand how good this was. So for y'all out there to have him tried Ms Jenny's food y'all missing something y'all missing something so delicious. Thank you Ms Jenny the food was awesome awesome is all I can say that's my only word awesome and wow thank you.

    This was foremost the best Collards. For a minute I thought my granny was cooking.

    If you're looking for a place that serves food that warms your soul and satisfies your appetite,…read morethis is it! The staff is welcoming and friendly, and the portions are generous. While it's primarily a takeout establishment, the owner will occasionally accommodate small groups with seating when possible. What really sets this place apart is the genuine hospitality and the love that goes into every meal. You can taste the care in the food and feel it in the service. If you're looking for delicious, comforting food made with heart, I highly recommend giving them a try!

    Food Made With Love…read more I'm visiting from out the state and the only food I desired was southern cooking. There were a few choices on Yelp and Google but I selected P&D. The first letter of the husband an wife names. My expectations were high, and they should have been based on the reviews. This is not a standalone location as the are other businesses within the same building. You won't see P&D on the exterior signage but you will see "Soul Food Kitchen" A la carte buffet style food served. I like this so I could see what I'm ordering. Which is way I should have not purchased the Mac&cheese. Macaroni noodles and shredded cheese melted within. A serious faux pas for macaroni and cheese. I observed how many customers appeared to be regulars, and several people were ordering additional food to take home. I ordered two full meals. The main dishes are served with cornbread dressing on the savory side or rice. One suggestion for P&D would be to offer a brown gravy option alongside that is not meat-based specifically for the dressing. The highlights for me were the yams, fried fish, and pork chop and red velvet cake. Those dishes were well seasoned & well-prepared. Without being critical of the other side dishes this is what I would say: Sharing a few side dishes with your group before committing to larger portions. If you're a singleton stick to yellow rice, yams, and beans. While some food choices did not meet my palate, I can understand why this place has a loyal following. The welcoming familial atmosphere, location, and comfort food are sometimes the basics of what people need to get through the day. Service: 5 stars Food portions: 5 stars Food presentation: 4 stars Parking: 5 stars Returning?: Unlikely "When food is made with love, it's hard to critique the heart."

    Hey there! Went to Nikki's place this past weekend with my wife and my son and I'll tell you, it…read moredidn't disappoint. I've been wondering for a while where to get some good stick to your ribs so food, so when my wife told us that Nikki's Place reached out to her to come try some authentic soul food, I had to join her. We had to make sure to get an array of different things to try as much as possible. So we ordered.. smothered pork chops, fried catfish and shrimp, lemon butter chicken wings, red rice, Collard greens, Lima beans, black eyed peas, cornbread, candied yams, mac and cheese, and some onion fries.. with some sweet tea. I want to tell you, every bite I took had me closing my eyes and smiling. My only complaint was the lima beans were a little bit salty, but when I ate it with everything else it didn't really matter. The lemon butter fried chicken wings were absolutely amazing. I have not tasted anything like that in my life. You can't go there and not get them. You need these wings. I'd also like to say that all the sides are meat-free , so vegetarians come get some . We ate till we were full, and we had enough to take home as well. We took an order of bread pudding home for dessert and that was absolutely delicious too. Overall absolutely great food. The staff took care of us very well. Highly recommended!

    Working at the office today called for my favorite go to soul food place!…read more I ordered me and my assistant the smothered pork chop dinner with 2 sides , corn bread and two slices of cake. I ordered through door dash and it was delivered hot and fresh within 30 minutes. It's enough for left overs and my cake for later this evening as my treat lol. I absolutely love this place and I have already placed a large catering order for my family reunion and baby shower coming up.

    The Meatloaf alone is 5 stars…read more Love love Ms. Kim's meatloaf - Its savory seasoned well and oh so tender. I am not sure if she adds pork in the meat mix but it is delicious and tender soft. The gravy that comes with it is delicious. The bread pudding is also one of the best you will have from a scratch kitchen. I have seen caucasians come here and grab food because I hear them say its the best meatloaf they had - to the cooking in general reminds them of their southern family member cooking. This day the black eyed peas was a popular side choice. I never tried it but it was a popular one. I spoke to Ms. Kim and her grandson this day just to have a conversation - Ms. Kim introduced herself to me with her First Name - She asked me if I was this ethnicity and she was right LOL she then stated to me she is part Thailand. Her grandson was also nice. I was sharing to him my past experience as a Yelp Diner at this establishment and both Ms. Kim and her grandson were not fond of the experience I had and then Ms. Kim adviced next time that happens at any food establishment to just get a full refund back. They were shocked of the experience I had. It was a pleasure talking to them both them hearing me vent it out about my dining experience from another establishment. On a weekday around close to 12pm this place can get a line for food. By far Ms. Kim's place is the best soul food IMO in Orlando and the portions are hefty! Next time you stop by - its nice to chit chat with Ms. Kim and her grandson who is pretty much the cashier.

I loved the cabbage as well. Very flavorful. The Mac and cheese wasn't my favorite, but it was still pretty good. The turkey wings surprised me because I was skeptical because they were dark in color, but they were delicious. Turkey can be dry, but this was not. It was moist and delicious. Yummy! I would definitely eat from here again and there's a lot more to try on the menu.

    My meal was decent overall. I ordered the turkey wings with mac and cheese and collard greens…read more The turkey wings were seasoned well on the skin and the outer layer, but once I got into the meat, it was pretty flavorless. I wish the seasoning had carried through the entire piece. The mac and cheese was actually pretty good, especially for a Caribbean restaurant. I usually only enjoy mac and cheese from soul food restaurants, so this was a pleasant surprise. The collard greens were decent as well. The restaurant itself felt like one large space housing three different restaurants: Jamaican, Soul Food, and Haitian. It was very run down, there was no air conditioning, and with the Florida heat it was uncomfortable to dine inside. If I return, it will definitely be for takeout. Customer service was efficient and fairly quick, which I appreciated. One downside was the portion size. I ordered a large meal, but the amount of meat was surprisingly skimpy. Now, let's talk about the passion fruit punch. It was absolutely amazing! It was very sweet, but after adding a little water, it was perfect. Overall, I'd give it another try, probably ordering one of the fish dishes next time. Just don't expect me to dine in during a Florida summer.

What does THAT have to do with me when the alternative is an ADDITIONAL fee (inflation charge of 3.0%) q- a 3.5 service charge to use a credit/debit card? So you're telling me because YOU don't bank effectively and efficiently that you cannot provide me change? Nor can you remove the 3.5% fee that I shouldn't be forced to pay? Spoke with the 'manager' 'Tee' who advised he had no credentials to remove the 3.5 fee nor could remove any percentage from my ticket. Literally worth|ess. If I didn't drive 40 minutes here I would have left...that's fine though. I won't be back.
