    My first time here! The cashier gave me a run down of all the food. It tasted heavenly!

    Great southern buffet!
    Rick B.

    Simple buffet-line serving Southern Basics like Fried Chicken & Catfish, with most of my favorite sides. The staff is very friendly. Even better; the food is fresh and good, at great prices! My Fried Catfish was dry and crispy, just like I prefer! My Black-Eyed Peas were great, as was the Mac & Cheese. My wife loved her Fried Chicken, Black-Eyed Peas & Rice. She had a roll, but I jumped on cornbread. Yumm. We shared the Pecan Pie, loved every bite, and were glad we stopped!

    Overall, my experience was AMAZING! The food was good. The staff were incredibly nice and the restaurant was clean. I can't say much for the atmosphere because I missed the lunch and dinner rush so the restaurant was empty. My only criticism is the parking lot is small and you will miss the restaurant if you aren't paying attention. Now, the food was really good. I got chicken, mac-and-cheese, cornbread, and yams. The chicken wasn't dry and was fried nicely. The macaroni was good and cheesy. The cornbread was a little dry but combined with the yams, it was amazing. I love yams but not everyone's yams, however these were made just right. I got a juice to-go because they didn't have any sprite. The guy at the counter actually checked before giving it to me which was great. They also have many different side and dessert options. Again great experience so, I will be going back to try them more. I would recommend to friends.

    The food is very delicious. I'm disappointed with the amount of food given. If you need to charge more please do. The portion size is not inline with the competition. Let your customer say it's to much. $24 for two plates and I was just tasting the food. Check your competitors portion size. Once you adjust this you will have a lot more customers.

    Fried chicken, fried okra, cornbread

    First time here. I went right after lunch started around 11:15 am and ordered fried chicken, rice and gravy, collard greens and an extra side of fried okra. Spent $14. The place was empty except for one couple dining in. It's very spacious if you want to eat inside however I took mine to go. The staff was very nice and welcoming. Okay the food- the fried okra was nothing but salt. Couldn't eat it whatsoever and ended up throwing it away. Paid extra for it and really hate I did. Again, first time. I'm not sure if this is normal or whoever was cooking this day was a little heavy handed. The fried chicken was okay. Nothing to be crazy about or to run back and get. Didn't really have much flavor to it. The rice and collards were good. Seasoned pretty nicely but still nothing to be too crazy about. For the amount I spent I was expecting to be wow'd. There's other southern cooking establishments that I prefer. However, I will be back as I always like to visit a place at least twice before giving my final review. I will update this after my next visit.

    Down Home country cookin'!!  Fried chicken, mashed potatoes, yams, and cornbread!
    Lina S.

    Now, I'm a fan of down home country cookin'. I have been all over the South and tried all kinds of the typical favourites. I do know my fried chicken, too. This place earns a solid 4-star rating from me and if I could pick to give 5 stars for the chicken alone, I would!! The chicken by far was the best! Juicy, fried to golden perfection, the chicken is slap yo mama excellent!! Cannot possibly rave about it enough!! I chose to accompany it with candied yams and mashed potatoes. They are both solid choices that put the Southern in cooking. The gravy, though, tasted straight out of Mama Netta's pan!! Excellent flavour and so authentic!! The tea was a little weaker than I like, but the cornbread rocked!! Lightly sweet hint to it and very distinct old school cornmeal flavour!! The restaurant was clean and meticulous. Staff are friendly and helpful! And to boot, the meal ran me about 12 bucks with tip! That's a bargain!! If you want something tasty and are tired of franchise gumbo, Netta's is for you!!

If you're anywhere near downtown Columbus, this needs to be your stop. The Old Fashioned was beautifully balanced, garnished with a gorgeous orange peel, and at $10 it's an absolute steal -- honestly, they could charge more and it'd still be worth it. My wife is vegetarian and had the pasta, which she loved just as much -- great sauce, feta, sunflower seeds for crunch. This place genuinely has something for everyone, carnivore or not. Add in a waiter who was on point the whole meal and that down-home Southern ambiance (exposed brick, string lights, the whole vibe), and you've got a restaurant that nails food, drinks, and atmosphere all at once. If you're looking for where to eat in Columbus, don't even think twice -- this is it.

But, other than that our actual wait person was awesome and the food top notch! The hot pimento crab dip is to die for and the Harlot Burger was a definite winner. We also very much enjoyed the banana pudding. Charming place, friendly service and great food...just wish the greeting was a bit more welcoming, still a 5 star experience.
