Weird combination, I know , but it was my cheat day! My granddaughter had chicken and waffles, and my daughter had beef tips and rice. Yes, I tasted everybody's food and everything was delicious! I'm giving 4 stars because the service needs a little more organization and training. When we walked in, my daughter asked a petite young lady how long the wait would be, and unfortunately, her response came across as unprofessional with a bit of an attitude. Even while taking our order, some of her responses didn't reflect a team-oriented attitude. When one person looks good, the whole team looks good--and when one person doesn't, it reflects on everyone. I don't hold that against the young lady; in my opinion, she simply needs more training and guidance for her role. One of Ms. Nana's friends even got up in her church clothes to help sweep. She later went home, changed, came back, and immediately started helping--that's a friend! I also LOVE that some of the staff are part of a second-chance organization! THANK YOU, NANA for giving our babies the training, guidance, and tools they need to succeed. Great food--I'll definitely be back!

My husband is from the south, Virginia to be exact, so my review will be biased based on that. I am…read moregiving a very generous 4 star review mainly because of the woman who was plating all the food behind the counter and because this place is a soul food spot not southern. I came here today a little after 5pm and did not get a greeting like everyone else did when I walked into the door. They were pretty busy with to go orders around this time. There is an entrance area where you order and pay for your food and a separate area for dining in. I ordered a catfish fillet with Mac n cheese and sweet potatoes and fried shrimp basket with fries and greens to go. I ordered at 5:15 and got my food at 5:45 and let me tell you, it was the longest wait of my life. I think the A/C must've been broken because it was hot in the waiting area and it didn't help that one of the front desk girls kept complaining about them still being open for another hour. There were a bunch of flies everywhere and the front area doesn't seem to be cleaned throughout the day. I also feel for the woman who puts the plates together because she's doing it by herself and was constantly asking the front desk girls to bag the orders. She stayed calm though and still greeted people as they were coming in. Now for the food. The shrimp basket was $25.99 and the catfish was $19.99. The shrimp was good, kids approved. The catfish was good too. All the food was made fresh to order so I can appreciate that for quality. Onto the sides. I think the French fries were accidentally season with sugar instead of salt. The greens were ok, just drenched with garlic. The Mac n cheese, ehhh. I was looking forward to the Mac n cheese but it wasn't as cheesy as I was expecting but tasted ok. The sweet potatoes were really good, probably my favorite side out of the four. The cornbread was moist and good. Overall, food was good but definitely overpriced. However, I do support small businesses but still think it's a bit overpriced based on portion size. They do require you pay for your food before you sit down if you are dining in. This may be because of too many incidents where people dine and dash. I do think that the lady behind the counter putting the plates together needs better help. No offense to the young girls they have working there but either train them or get someone who can actually do the job. If you are looking for true southern food, this ain't it. Texas food vs. southern food are 2 completely different things which I am learning the hard way now having lived here for a year.

I went to Juicy's Homestyle Chicken to try it out for the first time and ordered the chicken wing…read moredinner. Man, the chicken was seasoned really well! It had plenty of flavor without being overly salty, which I definitely appreciated. The fries were good too and seasoned nicely with seasoning salt. The place itself was clean, and everything looked well kept. Customer service was okay--not bad at all, but nothing that really stood out either. Since I ordered to-go, I didn't have a lot of interaction with the staff. I will say the young man working the register could've been a little more welcoming and engaging. This would've also been a perfect opportunity to upsell me on a dessert, drink, or another menu item, especially since it was my first time there. Overall, though, the food was the star of the show. The chicken was flavorful, well-seasoned, and not too salty. I'd definitely come back and try some other items on the menu.

I really wanted to love Juicy's, especially after hearing good things about them, but unfortunately…read moremy first experience was pretty underwhelming. I placed my order about 17-18 minutes before closing. The staff wasn't particularly welcoming, but they were somewhat friendly, took my order, and answered my questions the best they could. One person didn't know the answer to something I asked, but another employee chimed in and helped, which I appreciated. I also understand that I came near the end of their day, so everyone may have simply been tired. I ordered the 2-piece catfish with mac & cheese and green beans, plus 3 wings on the side. I was told my food would take about 20-25 minutes. There were customers ahead of me and people who came in after me, so I actually gave them an extra five minutes before returning to pick up my order. Everything was hot when I received it, but strangely, the first piece of fish and the wings didn't taste freshly fried. They were hot, but the breading had lost that fresh crispness, which made me wonder if they had possibly been reheated or dropped back into the fryer. What made it even more noticeable was that my second piece of fish was MUCH better and tasted considerably fresher. Overall, the fish and chicken were also surprisingly bland. Once I got home, I ended up adding seasoning salt myself. However, I have to give credit where it's due: the green beans and cornbread were easily the highlights of the meal. The green beans had good flavor, and the cornbread was REALLY good. It was incredibly moist--almost cake-like moist--and definitely one of the things I enjoyed most. Unfortunately, the mac & cheese was the biggest disappointment. It was extremely dry, and even the noodles didn't look like the mac & cheese I had seen in photos before ordering. Maybe I received what was left toward the bottom of the pan because it was the end of the day, but either way, what I received really wasn't acceptable. I'm including a picture because it honestly speaks for itself. I completely understand that I ordered close to closing time, and I'm taking that into consideration. However, if the quality of the food can't be maintained until closing, I think there should be a cutoff for new orders--maybe 30 minutes beforehand. If a restaurant is open, still accepting orders, and charging full price, customers should receive the same quality of food they would receive earlier in the day. I spent around $30, so overall this was disappointing. I'm actually considering giving Juicy's another try in the middle of the day because I'd like to know whether this was simply an end-of-day experience or if this is representative of the food overall. Based on this first visit, though, I wasn't impressed.

Craving fried chicken and decided to head to Juicys Soul Food and learned they had closed....uggggh. Not to be deterred discovers Linda's Soul Food to go and called to inquire if they had fried chicken. They did. Yahoooo. Off we went. Upon arrival and as we entered this little gem I just admit I was worried. It was dead and appeared only one person was working. We learned they only had 4 meat offerings, fried chicken, fried pork chops, meatloaf and fried catfish. We were a bit disappointed when we learned they only had wings and legs for the fried chicken but moved on and placed an order. I had the fried chicken legs, collard greens, fried cabbage and Mac n cheese. She opted for the fried pork chops and Mac n cheese. The serving size are huge. 3 legs, 3 pork chops. Sides are plentiful. Are you ready? Absolutely delicious. The fried pork chops were the best we have ever had out. The Fried chicken was equally as good. HOT. JUICY. Soooo good. The Mac n cheese was better than Juicys. Cheesy and gooey goodness. I loved it. The collards were also better than Juicys....id argued one of the best I've ever had out. My mom would have been in heaven. Speaking of heaven...the Fried Cabbage is to die for... A major home run!

He offered me a sample of chicken tetrazzini that wasn't on the menu. He swore it was good, and it was! I ordered that with corn and greens, since the cabbage I originally requested would not be ready for another 15 minutes. Chicken tetrazzini was 9/10. Very good. The corn and greens were cooked with waaaaayyyyy too much pepper and should have been labeled as spicy corn and spicy greens. Also, the greens needed to be picked - I had too many big stems in my serving, and I'm not a fan of those. Would I go back when I'm in the area? Yes. Will I take advantage of them offering samples on everything? Absolutely! Reel back on that pepper, and they are in there. I recommend.

Especially with the volatile economy we are all experiencing right now.

I have eaten at a LOT of soul food restaurants and this was the first time I received a box cake. I ordered baked chicken...bland but for the salty grayish white gravy that was poured over it. I also had the cabbage....zero thermal heat and the yams...sweet but not complex. The cornbread was room temperature and hard. The tea was syrupy sweet with very little tea flavor. This place was a huge disappointment. The only bonus is the portion size of the sides. Other than that, there were no pros. As the owner uncovered the sauce less pigs' feet, the dry neck bones and the heatless macaroni goulash, I apparently was rude because of my facial expression, I.e. I was shocked and fairly disgusted by the lackluster food appearance. I've never seen neck bones that aren't in their juices or pigs feet either!!!! Alas, my dear hubby is an eternal optimist and didn't want to be rude. So I went along and ordered, but barely picked at the baked chicken. The owner lectured me on my rudeness and how much I had to learn about life and how to talk and deal with people. I pointed out that I was an attorney and I deal with people all the time. However she raised her voice and told me about all FIVE of her degrees in engineering, business administration, etc. and who my law degree didn't mean anything to her. Lol... Looking back, I am sure her feelings were hurt as a result of my shock and disgust. Well, if the food was hot and actually flavorful (as true soul food is), there would be no reason to look shocked and disgusted. There is no excuse for a gravy that is salty and poured over just about every dish. If you are taking the money of the hard working people in that neighborhood, shouldn't you provide quality food? Not to mention it is fairly inexpensive commodity dishes that are being served! If your serving table is defective, care enough about your product and get another one that ensures the food is actually HOT! The food was of poor quality. The owner was rude and confrontational. I would not recommend this place.
