Staff is super friendly; the server attending us is kind, sweet and funny. I can tell she enjoys talking with the customers and ensuring we all have a good time. The food is alright; I really enjoyed the blackened salmon. Their fries are great and their entrees come with a side, I chose the soup. Our server provided us with a whole tray of crackers. The only thing I wish was done better was the meat to rice ratio; portion of the white rice that came with the salmon was way too little for the amount of meat. The picture makes it look like there's a lot of rice but it's only around the fish, none below. Regardless, I will come back to try their pastas and breakfast items, which is in my to-do list!

The young man who answered the phone was very kind and ensured he had my order correct. Even verified I was ok with paying over the phone before he took my order. I arrived about 15 minutes later and once inside the cashier called for my order number then requested to see the card I paid with and my ID. In today's world it's comforting to know there are businesses verifying identity! Kudos!! Once seated at home I opened my container to hot fried catfish, tomatoes and okra, Mac n cheese and hot water cornbread. My first bite of everything was very good and seasoned to perfection. I got so full so quick that I wasn't able to finish but it made for perfect leftovers later that day. On to the desserts! My mom got a slice of pecan pie and I enjoyed the strawberry cake. Both were tasty and prepared perfectly! I will stop in again for fried pork chops when it's time for an off plan meal.

I sent the greens back because they were so salty to the point I couldn't make it work if I tried. The chicken was salty too but I pulled the skin back and ate it as I was hungry and needed some type of food. I would have sent the entire meal back but I was too tired and hungry to do that to the server who was really nice. I believe his name was Jeremy or Jeremiah. Anyways they really need to improve the ingredients in the food because I love soul food and this wasn't it!

Plus who doesn't love those biscuits and honey? Fortunately we had missed the lunch rush and were seated immediately. Our table was next to "Rick's" table, Babe's famous dining guest. Of course Rick is a mannequin. If you're seated at his table, he doesn't do much talking during the meal We both said hello to Rick and placed our order with our, ever smiling, Stephen S. He was wonderful throughout our visit ensuring we never lacked for anything. My wife and I ordered a fried chicken dinner and a vegetable plate. A few visits back we learned the little trick. Ordering the two separate plates we don't end up taking a lot of chicken home. The fired chicken dinner includes the white meat my wife likes and the dark meat I love plus unlimited veggies for the both of us. It's the perfect dinner for the two of us. The fried chicken was, of course, stellar, as it always is plus the addition of the phenomenal sides. the Italian style green beans, creamed style corn, whipped potatoes and a lettuce salad with their sweet-sour dressing.

We had the pleasure of meeting Nana herself. Me and my mom enjoyed speaking with her. She was pleasant and friendly. I loved how she was very down to earth. My mom took a photo with her. My server was the sweetest and most polite person. She checked on me and my mom multiple times. She was friendly and helpful. So I must say my service was welcoming and AMAZING! I felt like part of the family! Now it's not a fancy place, but it was clean and cozy. Like a mom and pops place. Condiments are provided on the table. Even roses that were real are in a vase. You can dine in or they have a carry out side. Well I chose fish since that's what I wanted. The 2 piece filet meal comes with 2 sides. They will bring your food out in a plastic container. So if you have left overs it's already set to go. The food came out hot and fresh. The fish was fried nicely. I wish it was seasoned a bit more for my liking. It was pretty good though. It was a great size and again fried to perfection. The hush puppies were really tasty. The fried corn fritter was delicious. The pickled tartar sauce was unique and I loved it. OMG the cabbage was so DAMN GOOD! This stole the show. It was cooked perfectly and seasoned with love. It touched my soul and I wanted to lick my container. The Mac and Cheese was a NO for me. It was like black pepper and cheese sauce. It was just blah and II didn't even eat it. However, others may like it, but it wasn't that great. Sorry Nana! Overall I had a good visit! I will definitely come back and EAT when in the area. The cabbage won me over. I left feeling happy and full. The southern hospitality was FANTASTIC!

Bussers kept tables wiped down constantly, and the staff was super friendly, checking in to make sure we had everything. Met the owner too; she's genuinely warm and customer-focused, which made the vibe even better. If it weren't an hour from Dallas, I'd be weekly. Fort Worth soul food done right--thanks for the love!

Their food is very good, no question. I was reading some of the reviews and noticed that a few other "elite" reviewers gave this location glowing recommendations. So maybe I'm just catching them when they're not on their A-game. That's why we decided to give them one last attempt to redeem themselves. They did. We had a waitress that provided outstanding service. I was very impressed. She made sure our glasses were always full, brought us fresh bread promptly when asked and made sure we were happy with our food before she walked away. From the time we sat down till we left, she was very attentive. I haven't given up on them yet. All this to say, if you want great good, this location in Arlington will provide it, but rather you will get good service or not, is strictly a coin toss.
