Parking was relatively easy. A few benches outside and a busy dining room. Waiter and service was pleasant and friendly. There's some specials on the board and can sum up as home style cooking but wasn't my favorite. Typical breakfast sausage and eggs was okay but needed seasoning. Same goes for the burger and fries. Prices are definitely affordable. Place was lovely and cozy (meaning small) with probably lots of regulars. I can see people returning but I wouldn't say I'd be running here any time soon. Sorry, no pics ... that tells you something. Not bad but just not great, so off to keep looking. Cheers!

The decor…read moreis super cute as well, and they have plenty of space between the tables so you don't feel like you're on top of everyone. My bestie and I always start with the Fried Green Tomatoes, which are cooked to perfection each and every time! So delicious. We also always order the fried fish, which comes with 2 sides. The fish is fresh and moist and definitely the main attraction for us. I'm in a rut and always order the sweet potatoes and the Mac and Cheese. What can I say - I love this combination so much it warrants repeating. Those sweet potatoes are amazing and the Mac is also excellent. I got a to-go order of the fried fish for my hubby and he wanted his with the Okra and Tomatoes, which he really enjoyed. We don't get down to Mr. B's very often, so it feels like a special occasion when we eat there. The staff is always so very nice and that's the icing on the cake. If you've not been here, don't hesitate!! You can thank me later. ;)

The server initially said they maybe out of chicken. Came back to say they had chicken left. My husband order liver and onions, she was unsure about the liver and onions. She asked the cook, who was walking around out front. He responded, yes we have liver. Okay, great we ordered. She said it will take 15 minutes. We said okay. She comes back out to say they have no Lima beans. My husband says why don't you tell me what you have and I will choose. It was apparent they had very little on the menu. It's 1:30pm on a Wednesday. It helps to know your inventory. The food comes out. I could hardly cut the chicken it was so dry and overcooked. It looked dark inside as if it was old. I tasted a little piece thinking maybe it was a different seasoning, it had an aftertaste. When the server came back, we inquired about the chicken. She said it is precooked in the mornings and cooked completely when ordered. I thought that's dangerous, letting undercooked chicken sit until ordered. The liver was so dry, you can see it in the picture. My husband could not eat it. They gave the impression that the food was cooked to order. It was not. The black eye peas and yams were good. The collard greens were okay. Not sure where the gravy on the rice came from. It wasn't from the liver. We didn't eat any of the food. They charged us for half the meal. I would have given a 1, but they were very nice. My goal is never to hurt a business. I'm a business owner. But, we must give a good product. We were very disappointed.

The last couple of times, they've been extremely overcooked. Like, extremely! Is there a new cook or chef?!

You'd think it would've been cancelled immediately if they were out of everything. ‍

In my scenario I had an Airbnb in the neighborhood that I arrived too early to check into. I was able to store my suitcases for a few hours while exploring the restaurants and bars of 7th Street. It was a seamless process and provided a quick solution to my dilemma. I felt like my possessions were in safe hands.

My order took about 10 minutes but the wait was worth it. The original Yuppi Wings were hot, crispy and succulent. I'm sure the crunch shook the ground.

I ended up getting the honey fried chicken and my husband got the jerk chicken. He loved the jerk chicken. The fried chicken was just okay to me, but it also didn't seem fresh, so I'd be willing to try it again on a regular day and see if it's better fresh. Now the sides? They were SO good. I'd go back for the mac and cheese alone. The yams and greens were top tier too. The service was great. The lady serving everyone was so nice and had the best energy. We'll definitely be back because there were a few things we wanted to try. Looking forward to trying the oxtail and turkey wings next time.

I ordered the catfish dinner with yams and mac & cheese, and everything was delicious. Be prepared to wait a little for your food since the proteins are made fresh.

I enjoy their country cooking but, the chicken had a funny taste and was the dryest I have ever had. The catfish was extremely good. The buffet was full of veggies, their signature dishes.

The charge was $22.99 a dinner not including drink. I was in shock. It was around $15.99 the last time we ate there. I can have a steak dinner at a nice restaurant for $24. It will the last time we eat there.
