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 had a mac & crab & shrimp bowl and my husband had a Big B! burger with bacon, smoked brisket and onions. She even added a side of mashed potatoes for our toddler. Everything was delicious, hot, and fresh. Shrimp was boiled in a wonderful seasoning mix. We enjoyed lunch in the park since the establishment does not yet have table service. Will definitely come again next time we are in town.

Hilda's makes the best soul food in Pittsburgh without question. Everything they make is delicious…read moreso it's difficult to pick a dish that stands out over the other dishes, but I will say they make the tastiest oxtail I've ever had. The yams are unbelievable as well as the string beans--- with that said you can not go wrong at Hilda's. They also have a great staff friendly and loving people-- their food is definitely made with love.

It's the kind of place where you feel like a friend the first time you enter and you leave a real friend by the end of your meal. We're vegetarian, and they have great options for us, and have even catered an event for us where they prepared an entire vegetarian menu for our guests. Highly recommend their mushroom po' boy and their waffles with fruit (available any time of the day)! And don't forget to try their peach cobbler, sweet potato pie, or the strawberry banana pudding! They are also very involved in the community and do events all around the city. Plus, if you love jazz or comedy, you'll love spending some time there. They have great jazz music playing all the time, and they do comedy nights near the end of nearly every month. They are a jewel right here in Moxham/Johnstown!

I ordered two platters and the description in your app says the platters come with the protein of your choice and two sides. I ordered fish, macaroni and cheese and yams with an extra side of collard greens. I get my order delivered and there's no macaroni and cheese, so I called and spoke with a gentleman who said he was out and just gave me rice? And then the platter comes with one SMALL piece of fish? I was not contacted to ask me if the substitution was okay or if I still wanted the order. The owner ended up calling me back and offered to bring me the correct sides and extra fish herself, and requested that I send my address. Over an hour later, I receive a text apologizing saying that the macaroni is taking longer than expected. At this point, I've been dealing with this ordeal for 2.5 hours and told her to just forget about it because the entire experience had been ruined. First and last time!
