    Oxtails with yams and greens!!
    John R.

    First visit to brick/mortar location. First time ever eating oxtails. Friendly service, owner came over to see what I thought of the oxtails and sides. Oxtails are very tender. Nice gravy in the rice. Good beef flavor on the oxtails. I ordered yams and greens as my 3 sides. Both are very tasty. 12 tables inside. Comfortable with music playing. I see some other things on the menu I will come back and try. Bring your appetite, no skipping on portion sizes.

    If you want some real food. Home cooked real food with real ingredients like you will cook at home then stop by this establishment. It's very old school a little worn inside but whoever's in the kitchen will make up for it with flavor and their good hospitality. This is a great addition to Vallejo and they've been in Vallejo just as many years as I have so we're both newbies to some degree but I'm no newbie when it comes to good food and because my family is from down south and I know what I cook at home I can recognize the real when I taste it. Thank you for Stirring them pots the right way. I had a plate with catfish and oysters fried a side of fried okra and some cabbage. My lunch date had the oxtail plate which comes with rice and gravy and a two other side dishes so plenty of food. We both brought food home. My daughter walked in from school (met me there rather I should say) and ordered the chicken and waffles and she said it was really good as well. Hit Noonies up for some good food. And if you looking for nostalgia they serving up Kool-Aid go get you some

    Fried chicken dinner chicken tasted like flour no seasoning

    First timer: Food selection: Fried chicken yams, macaroni & cheese, meatloaf, dinner with corn and cabbage, bits and grits corn bread Fried chicken: tasted too much like flour not seasoned Grits too salty & clumpy Mac and cheese was decent Yams ok good flavor but half whole and some mushy Meatloaf not good it was like a clump of meat and not enough breadcrumbs or sauce the gravy was dry no flavor with the rice Cabbage had a weird taste didn't care for it Corn : decent it's hard to mess that up cornbread dry no flavor tasted old Service: defiantly need help I waited over an hour for my food which was way to long! Conclusion : upon coming here I expected the food to be good judging from the reviews but it just wasn't it especially for the price point of 65$ the food wasn't what I expected at all!! I probably won't return but at least I can say I Gave it a try ; hopefully they fix that batter and meatloaf and hire help!!

    Had to try the breakfast, happy I did just as delicious as lunch/dinner will be back!

    Shrimp Po' Boy - Packed with flavor and dripping with that southern comfort flair. Every bite was seasoned to perfection and had me nodding "yes" with every chew. 2-Piece Fried Chicken Meal - Only $5?! In today's world, that's a deal you just can't pass up. Crispy, juicy, and seasoned just right. Pure happiness on a plate without breaking the bank. Meatloaf Dinner - Hearty, tender, and smothered in gravy that tastes like home. This dish feels like it came straight out of grandma's kitchen. Warm, comforting, and exactly what soul food is supposed to be. Great food, friendly vibes, and prices that remind you good deals still exist. Definitely a spot worth coming back to again and again!

    Smothered Meatloaf w/buttered corn and black eyed peas
    Vinny C.

    Checked this place out earlier today and was more than satisfied! I ordered the smothered meatloaf plate with black eyed peas, buttered corn, corn bread, and a piece of fried basa. Had the lemon blueberry pound cake for dessert. The food tasted like true down home cooking. With that, the customer service was above and beyond. The ambiance of the place is on point as well. All in all, I'll definitely be back.

    The woman had excellent customer service but she left for her break. Food was average. Specifically went for smoothed chicken and only got fried...

    Me and my family stumbled upon this gem while headed back home from Napa. They accommodated us immediately and the service was excellent. Now for the food omg!!! It reminded me of a nicely home cooked soul food meal that my grandmother use to make. The oxtails, Mac and cheese, cabbage, greens, chicken, yams, and oysters were amazing oh and the portion sizes were perfect I highly recommend and will definitely be back. Noonie's just gained a lifetime customer.

    Pork Porkchop Breakfast
    Andrew T.

    Woke up on an easy Saturday morning and decided on Noonie's for a hearty, savory breakfast. We came in and they were already playing some good smooth music. We put our order in and the staff was warm and welcoming. The food was delicious. Not to take away from the rest of the food but one of my highlights was the hash. It's something about when the simple things are done perfectly. I ordered the chicken and waffles. The waffle had a good fluff to it and topped with a really tasty butter. The chicken was crisp and juicy and seasoned to go well alongside the waffle. My wife got the pork chops, which came out exactly as she wanted it. She's the type that usually needs hot sauce with her breakfast, but the pork chops were done so well that she didn't feel the need for it. Thank you Noonie's for the warm vibes with great food.

    French Fries. Seasoned well. My students loved them!
    Andrea D.

    It's been a while since I've ordered from Noonie's so I ordered a meal to go. I really wanted the smothered oxtails with gravy and they delivered! Absolutely tender and so well seasoned. I got the meal with French Fries and hushpuppies and both were delicious. My students really loved the fries! The cornbread was also nice. I wasn't a big fan of the peach cobbler but it was a sweet treat. I just didn't care for the crust/bread. The wait was really reasonable for the afternoon and the service was quick.

    Red Snapper, Basa, yams and cabbage
    Mark L.

    Decided to give this place a try as I'd been looking for a soul food place to support locally. Tried the fried fish dinner and was blown away by the amount of food that was served as well as the flavor. I chose the Bass and Red Snapper with cabbage and yams for the sides. Everything was fresh and actually needed to take the last piece of Bass to go. This is now going to be on my regular stops as they also have a fried Oysters dinner .... Yep. Check them out soon.

    Oxtails dinner with cabbage and macaroni salad
    Kerry C.

    The service was prompt and polite. This was our first time here and we will be coming back. I had the oxtails dinner and the meat was tender and flavorful. My wife had the meatloaf which was juicy and tasty. Our server was accommodating and attentive.

    5 Five Dolla Holla
    Jahmal P.

    It's all about them wings baby. Firstly the service is great super friendly and inviting. The ambiance isn't glamorous It's not some romantic spot but what it lacks on that it makes up for in other ways. So I been craving some oxtails which I ordered with greens and mac and cheese as my sides. I got 3 pieces of tails one mega sized and the other two "smedium" but I was please with the portion for the price. If I paid $40 for them we'd have a problem but. 3 pieces for under 30$ In 2025 was we worth it. The oxtails were def a B plus. Seasoned tender, juicy great gravy, I love how they incorporated the pan drippings into making their gravy. Their mac & cheese was gooey cheesy seasoned with garlic powder and onion powder. It just lacked a little little bit of salt in my opinion. The greens collard greens. I mix with a little bit of spinach, onions garlic, bell peppers, turkey necks I want pieces of turkey you get bits of turkey not like those places that you might get one piece of turkey in a serving you got pieces of shredded turkey mixed up in the greens, and the potlicker delicious. We also ordered the chicken and waffles. Wooo them wings when I tell you, those wings were seasoned they were fried they were cooked. They were marinated to perfection. It has to be the best or second best wings I've ever had in the Bay Area. The waffles, the large, the thick it got cinnamon, so nutmeg is like a spice waffle kind of reminds me of French toast waffle or churros. Their potato salad was decent nothing To fancy. Their fired fish. Like their wings were fried floured and almost seasoned perfectly. Unlike the wings that needed. Nothing but to hop in my mouth. The fish needs a little bit of salt. Also ordered the candied yams which were also good not mushy. They give u a big piece of their cornbread. Now I'm a big cornbread fan and I ate all of it almost had to fight bae to leave my cornbread alone. But and for me this is a but and yes yall might let it slide it's cool. That ain't just cornmeal and flour I taste cornmeal and yellow cake mix? So it taste more like a corn cake then the corn bread I'm use to but it's was good really good and that glaze y'all put on top of it. Nice touch!!!! Overall this is a great spot to get some good food from!!!!! With great service

    Hi Allison our food truck will be at the Benicia Juneteenth on Sunday, June 19th from 11am to 5pm @ 1150 First Street, Benicia.

    Are you open? The most recent post said you were closed 4 months ago?

    Hello. I am very interested in becoming a new customer but i also have a question. I was wondering if you can put a picture of the outside of your restaurant so i could get a good imagination of where you are located?

    Sure thing. The outside of our deli/bakery has been uploaded on Yelp. We’re located inside of the Georgia Street Plaza. Hope to see you soon!

The service is so kind that it makes up for the next part of the review which gives the food a 3/5. The fried shrimp didn't have much seasoning but was crispy. The red beans and rice was a little mushy and had more beans than rice. The potato salad was lacking in flavor. These sides 3/5 I did enjoy the collard greens, cabbage, and the Mac and cheese. My partner said the cabbage should have had some meat in it to make the flavors more robust. I like it without the bacon and meat personally. It caters to a more vegetarian clean eating crowd. If it was in the stock I'm not sure... these sides were a 4/5 The oxtails we ordered was DELICIOUS. Probably some of the best most tender oxtail I could buy from a restaurant . 5/5!!

    My experience with this restaurant has been inconsistent, but my most recent catering order was…read moreextremely disappointing. The first time I visited, it was late in the evening and they had already sold out of several items. The food I did try was average at best--about a 2.5/5. The second time, I went with someone who knew the owner, and the experience was completely different. Everything was excellent--easily a 5/5. Based on that visit, I felt confident enough to place a large catering order for a Black History Month event at my job. I ordered yams, dressing with gravy, greens, mac & cheese, fried catfish, fried chicken, cornbread, peach cobbler, and German chocolate cake. The total came to $590, which I paid immediately after confirming via text. I requested that the food be ready by 2 PM since the event started at 3 PM. When I arrived, nothing was ready. There was also confusion about my order--they initially only prepared one dessert, even though I was charged for both cobbler and cake. I had to show proof of my order to resolve that. As the food slowly became available, I was handed trays one at a time with no assistance, meaning I had to carry everything to my car by myself. On top of that, the cornbread I ordered was never provided. The food wasn't fully ready until around 3 PM, which caused delays for my event. Unfortunately, the quality didn't match my previous experience either. The fried catfish pieces were extremely small--more like nuggets than full portions. The dressing was undercooked and even had large turkey bones in it, which was unacceptable. The greens had excessive liquid, which I had to drain before transporting them. Overall, this was a frustrating and disappointing experience. Order accuracy was a 1/5, timeliness and service (including lack of assistance) was a 1/5, and food quality was about a 2.5/5. Based on this experience, I will not be returning. For catering orders or anything from a local soul food restaurant I'd highly recommend Ys Choice.

The only downside was the wait. There were long lines to get to many of the dishes, and having to wait for certain items to be refilled took away from the experience. Since this is a timed dining experience, spending part of that time waiting for food was a bit disappointing. At around $80 per person, I think the overall operation could be a little more refined and better stocked throughout the service. That said, the quality of the food definitely delivered, and despite the minor frustrations, it was a solid dining experience that I'd recommend.

It's a family-owned spot, and you can feel it right away -- everyone is kind, welcoming, and takes the time to check in on you. We came for breakfast, but they also offer lunch and barbecue options, so there's plenty to choose from depending on when you go. They've also expanded and now have a location in Elk Grove. I ordered the French toast plate, which came with thick-cut slices of bread, eggs, and bacon. The French toast was soft on the inside with a nice golden finish, full of flavor without being overly sweet. The eggs were well seasoned, and the bacon was cooked just right. BB ordered the cheeseburger with fries and a side of grits. The burger was juicy with grilled onions and melted cheese, and the fries had that crispy, beer-battered texture.
