    Please visit this spot because if you want some flavorful soul/Caribbean food this is it! I must say when I walked up I was greeted with a smile & was welcomed with open arms! The young man who took my order was giving legendary customer service from the time I walked up until the time I left. I got the Rasta pasta. They had jerk chicken or brisket, I opted for the jerk chicken. It was so good! Great spices & a good amount of heat! I also ordered their special for the day the catfish & let me tell you, yummy yummy yummy! Fresh fish, flavorful sides & that sweet potato corn bread is moist! I also had the pink lemonade & the Russian tea (pineapple orange & passion fruit) the drinks are on point! I recommend that Russian tea! I wish I could order a gallon of it! That pound cake was delicious as well, makes me want to try their other cakes as well! Overall 10s across the board!!! I will be coming back here next time I visit the food hall! I told my friends all about it so hopefully they get to experience this great restaurant as well!

    This place was the bomb dot com. A fairly new addition to the food hall, Miss Johnnie Mae's has made quite a name for themselves despite its infancy. First things first, portions are HUGE. I chose their special, which happened to be the Cajun Fried Catfish Special, and it did not disappoint. I chose green beans and mac and cheese for my sides. Green beans were well seasoned and soooooo yummy. Mac and cheese was delicious as well, extremely cheesy and filling. Now for the star of the show: the fried catfish. The fish was absolute perfection. Well coated, well seasoned, the catfish was cooked to perfection. All in all, I highly recommend this dish for anyone that loves some good catfish. I'm extremely excited to try more of their menu, especially their oxtail and their Russian tea!

    It took us 45 minutes to try and get to this destination due to a Veterans parade. Hungry and frustrated, we were happy to find location. Location shocked us because it wasn't its own restaurant. It felt like we were eating at a mall. I ordered the jerk chicken with Rasta pasta and a sweet potato cornbread. Not knowing prices (for lunch) I ordered a meal for my friend and my Daughter. $20 each. YES, $20 each and they got more food than I did. My bit of food had good spiciness, however it was extremely loaded with salt. I had to stop eating it. I saved leftovers for tomorrow knowing I have plenty of fluids here at home. My Daughter said her Mango chicken with Caribbean green beans and Mac and cheese was good, but the chicken was tough to eat. My Friend had no review for me.

    If you are looking for a spot with food good to and for your soul, check out Miss Johnnie Mae's, located in the Food Hall of the Truist Bank Field in High Point. Full transparency, I probably would have never know of the place if it weren't for the Yelp Elite event. As a participant in the event I was given a complimentary (lunch size?) Rasta Pasta. I specifically went on Friday because I wanted the seafood, however when I arrived it was gone. My remaining options were jerk chicken and brisket. Not a fan of either, but I selected the jerk chicken. Pleasantly surprised. Super flavorful with nice amount of heat. Although Jerk chicken is not my speed, it was very good. I will return to get the seafood. I also ordered the Mac and cheese, which I did not get. Don't worry, I'll be back to give it a try. I ordered the banana strawberry pudding. Interesting combination, but it works. I'm a fan. I ordered the sweet potato cornbread which I think was the show stopper for me!!!! This cornbread right here?????!!!!! Try it. Lastly, I had to get the Red KoolAid (individual and 1/2 gallon...smh) as my son is a Kool Aid drinker and I got the Russian tea for myself. There are quite a few items on the menu that I would love to try. Needless to say, I will be returning.

They are located in a nice little spot with ample parking and it's easy accessible. The interior is simple but clean. Plenty of seating. The ladies who work here are very friendly and helpful, came around a few times to check on me, offered fried side to go with the greens , offered a refill on my sweet tea. Great service! About the food. Probably the BEST FRIED CHICKEN in the area. I really can't judge on that because I haven't sampled other fried chicken in the vicinity but based on my own research of sampling fried chicken all over North Carolina, I feel confident in my assumption. It was fried just right. It was SEASONED. It had a very nice batter that was crunchy and the chicken in the inside was tender and juicy. Every bite was tender and juicy. These ladies should teach a cooking class on how to make fried chicken-to other restaurants. The SWEET POTATOES were perfectly cooked and flavored in butter and cinnamon. You could eat it as a dessert. But not overly sweet. Just right. The GREENS were tender and seasoned perfectly. Greens and fried side with their delicious CORNBREAD could be a meal in itself. The SWEET TEA-perfect! All around, best home cooked food/soul food you can get. I will be back and I highly recommend for true SOUTHERN COMFORT food.

    This place... is one of our top two places in Jamestown. (The other is Simply Thai right across the…read morestreet.) Actually in the surrounding area too. Between excellent service, from the host to the kitchen staff, and being a bright, cheery place decorated in a modern farmhouse feel (only complaint is the HARD seating), we love this place. The food is always delicious and seasoned perfectly with FLAVOR. For the appetizer, the Salad Pizza is absolutely scrumptious and was recommended by our server our first visit here last year. Honestly, it keeps bringing us back. The flavors are incredible. It has feta, mozzarella, topped with organic greens, shaved onions, tossed in a lemon/dijon dressing with shaved parmesan. It's a flavor bomb in the mouth. The meatloaf, is to die for. If you're a meatloaf eater this is for you. It's so tender and juicy and perfectly seasoned. Melts in your mouth and the sauce on top is the perfect blend of sweet and savory to top it off. For my two sides this time I chose the fried brussels sprouts and the greens. The greens are always seasoned perfectly and the brussels sprouts were crispy and full of flavor. They tasted even better dipped in my meatloaf sauce so that was a win-win. My boyfriend had the special which was short ribs. For his two sides, he had greens and green beans. The short rib was perfectly tender and absolutely delicious full of flavor and moist for him. The green beans and the greens were also perfect as well full of flavor, just enough fat and butter. It's a great little date spot or a family dinner. They also have outdoor seating covered with umbrellas. There's a bar inside with a TV if you choose to go watch sports and the food here is always on point full of flavor and makes you want to come back and try more things on the menu. You can't go wrong at southern roots.

The waitress was friendly and polite, and the place itself was nice and clean. It was a little loud inside, but nothing too crazy. I get takeout from here pretty often, and the food is always consistently good. I didn't get it this time, but I love their grilled Thai shrimp--it's definitely one of my favorites! Definitely one of my go-to spots!

I threw the suggestion out to Sally and she thought it would be fun to try something new so she picked me up, we got on Gate City Boulevard and drove west until we found this place in a small strip mall. The outside won't necessarily draw your attention, but once you step inside this simple takeout/ dine in spot, the experience is totally different. As soon as we walked in we were approached by a gentleman who must have been the owner. He was incredibly kind and appreciative of our patronage. He explained all the dishes and a little bit about the company itself. This guy was full of pride about Seafood Destiny and I was impressed. Besides dining inside, they offer takeout and catering services. He was particularly proud of some of his dishes and when he told me that the crab legs was a special tonight for $20, I knew that was the best fit for me. You pay at the counter after you choose your selection and then have a seat and wait for your food to arrive. We were the only ones in the restaurant, although I did see a few people pop in for takeout. I could not help but wonder with it being so empty whether the great reviews would match up to what they claimed. I got my Diet Coke from the fountain machine with unlimited refills which always makes me happy. After chatting for a while with Sally, this huge plate came my way. The crab legs special for $20 was amazing. Not only did it have plenty of crab legs, but it came with a half-dozen beautiful shrimp with excellent seasoning, turkey sausage, corn on the cob and delicious scalloped potatoes. I ordered a side of asparagus. Although it was tasty. I don't know if the asparagus was worth $5. On the other hand, the main dish was a real bargain!! The food was delicious. Sally ordered salmon with pasta and loved her dish as well. I just ate and ate and ate and ate and eventually devoured the entire dish. Boy, that was good. No doggy bag here! We were each served a special dipping sauce from the Seafood Destiny. It was sweet and tasty but I was happy to just devour the fish as is. It was well seasoned and scrumptious While we were eating, a young man came out to chat with us. Something told me he was the son of the owner or he was indeed the manager or both lol. We had a nice chat about the place and it's history and he really appreciated our visit and hoped we would spread the word. I will! We arrived at 6:30 and before we knew it it was 8:00 and the place was beginning to close. I devoured my last crab leg, got a refill on my diet Coke and we headed out. Both Sally and I discussed on the way home what a delicious meal that was, how lovely the owners and staff were and what a shame that there not more people in the restaurant. I am hoping that was a fluke on a Tuesday night because Seafood Destiny definitely deserves customers. The place was simple, but the welcoming staff, the good priced seafood meals, the plentiful portions, and most of all, seeing the incredible pride and love the owners put into this place made it a winning combination for me I'm always a big fan of family owned operations and Seafood Destiny deserves your patronage. Whether it's shellfish or salmon or grouper, I highly recommend you head over to this place. As unassuming as it is on the outside, the inside was a delicious and welcoming experience!. I will be back and I hope to see you there!
