    Food and service were amazing! I ordered the fried catfish, green and yams. Food was made to order. Located in a plaza with plenty of parking. Highly recommend and cant wait to dine here again.

    Great food & good hospital. 10/10 no question, you need to get a plate. Recommend jerk chicken over rice!

    Fried Pork Chop, Yams, Black Eyed Peas and Honey Glazed Cornbread
    Tomeika M.

    The best hidden gem in the area with some good southern soul food. The location is decent and the inside is small but doable. Most people either call in ahead or visit and wait for their order. Either way, when you get your plate, the food comes out piping HOT! As you can see, you'll definitely get your monies worth and the food is as delicious as it looks. Please give this place a try!!!!!!

    Hey guys long time no hear from! I thought I'd try a spot today for dinner after an appointment and I was excited about this venue from the other reviews. I ordered the 2 fried wings plate and how can I put this the chicken lacked flavor. I also ordered black eyed peas which were good but the real let down is the dressing. Extremely bland and just not executed well. On top of the fact that there is a 2 dollar upcharge for the dressing. Not good! And it's very dry I requested gravy and it didn't help at all. Parking is plentiful as it's in a strip mall. I wish these guys success but I won't be back.

    Fried Chicken Whole Wings with Mac and cheese and Steamed Cabbage- very tasty
    Kat S.

    Solid southern cooking establishment. It won't win any ambiance in dining awards, however. I ordered the whole wing fried chicken and it was made to order. My food came out piping hot, crispy, and well seasoned. I chose Mac and cheese and cabbage for my sides. I am the only stewed cabbage fan in my house so I eat it when it is on the menu. I did find it odd that there wasn't a roll or corn bread served with the meal. Which, I am ok with because most of the time, it takes away from the meal. I don't live close enough to make it a regular take out place. It was a nice lunch option.

    I found this place by scrolling on TikTok and discovered their page. I did an Uber eats pickup and was skeptical if the food would stay hot; let's say a 23 min drive home the food was indeed still hot. I got the fried catfish, cabbage, mac n cheese main and a fried whiting with mac and yams. Boooooooyyyy that fish is fried perfectly and seasoned well. I did not expect the food to still be crispy and hot when I got home but it was. That was the best catfish I ever had! The Mac was decent definitely creamy, the yams were soft and sweet. The cabbage I could tell they used red pepper flakes to season but it did need a touch of salt. It's a small hole n the wall in a shopping center, but the food is delicious no doubt. Today I wasn't looking for ambiance I wanted delicious food. Customer service 10/10 and they support the community!

    Fried Chicken Whole Wings, Red Velvet Cake, Yams, Apple Cobbler, Collard Greens, RC's Baked Beans, Black Eyed Peas
    Raymond G.

    Service was great and most of the sides were solid. Beans were sweet with pork sausage- really unique and I loved them. Mac and cheese, collards, and clack eyed peas were all great. The fried wings I had tasted like they were fried in the same oil as the fish. Not terrible just not what I was hoping for. Apple cobbler was one of the sweetest things I've put in my mouth- couldn't eat it. The red velvet cake was awesome. Cornbread is sweet (like I like it). There are lots of other things on the menu I'd love to try- will be back.

    Grilled T-bone steak with collard greens and black eye peas.
    David M.

    Today, for lunch, I had the grilled T-bone steak, cooked medium with collard greens and black eye peas. The steak was cooked perfectly and so tendered I could cut it with a plastic fork and knife. The collards were the best I've had in years. The people running the place and cooking are the best. Eating there, feels like you are home with family.

    This is a large menu restaurant for sure . For this area that doesn't have lots of soul food i would say it's not bad for the area service is good so that's a plus!

    Fried Pork Chop Steamed Cabbage and mac and cheese

    Only a 2 star review because the customer service was great! Very comfortable environment. But the food is absolutely nasty. The pork chop tastes burnt and like old grease and the mac has no type of flavor and was nasty. the cabbage was pretty good but i'll won't be back.

    Fried Chicken Whole Wings with baked beans and Potato Salad
    Keila K.

    Dem boys know what they doing back there in that ol kitchen! Baby this food is goodt. Yes, with a T. I've been here quite a few times ordering the fried catfish on my first visit to venturing out and getting the wings on another visit and the fried pork chop on another. The wings are fried to perfection and the pork chop is seasoned well. For sides, I usually get the lima beans when they have em or the baked beans or potato salad. I mean these recipes must be passed down from generation to generation cause this right here is some good ol soul food cooking. It's food ya grandma makes in her kitchen. And the service is great too. They are very attentive and make you feel like you're family.

Now I have had the turkey wings before and they was OK so she let me taste the dressing and I was like OK because I was iffy on the rice and dislocation. Things can be a hit or miss depend depending on who's in the kitchen. So service was amazing. She helped me, but also explained a few things to me because for the first time she asked me do you want cranberry sauce? I've never had anybody asked me do I want cranberry sauce I just thought they never served it. But here's where the dilemma comes in because we haven't even got to the Food yet you see what I'm saying. So asked me was I using cash or card? I didn't think anything of it because I don't see a sign or anything that you're charging people to use their card. So I pay but in my mind I'm saying hold on something ain't right because that's $85 plus tax. Why is it $93.08 ? So she said do you want to see I said yes I'll look at my receipt and if I have paid cash, it would've been $90.10 with tax which that should've been what it is. but oh no another Atlanta thing that people do you scam people and charge me almost three dollars two dollars and ninety eight cents for using my card. So I ask y'all charge me for using my card? Because being honest, I was almost to the point just to refund everything. You go to McDonald's you go to certain other restaurant they don't charge you for using your debit or credit card. So she explained to me yes we used to have signs out for corporate. Doesn't want signs out. Now me a run a business I know what it may you may be charged but the way they're charging it is it's not no set price. The more you spend the more they charge you to use your card.! and that is a rip off. That is the reason I'll never go to this location again I will try the one on Camp Creek and see if they are charging people to use their card because I went there for a few weeks ago and got some chitlins because that is the location. I love to go to the food is subpar. We already know that but those chitlins I can't deny they're good. And normally I would go to Camp Creek just for the chitlins you right I will go! Because this location I've got chitlins and they stink to high heel because they wasn't cleaned enough. But you know how they say you give give people another chance. And I told him I'm gonna do a Google review. I'm gonna do a yelp review and videos to post on social media. But this is my fault because they already have a two star is average. No wonder they need to charge people to use their card that's another way for them to get money in their pockets as to corporate. You don't see other corporate chain, restaurants, charging you to use your cord. This is almost like that you see some of those gas stations where they charge you a little under regular gas prices for using cash, but charge you a little higher gas price for using your debit or credit card. It's all a ploy to get more money in their pockets. How do I know this? I have an insider I'm a aerospace engineer so I know what a corporation can be charged for but the reason they're being charge is because really it's only like 15 $.20 per person to use your card but when business isn't good yeah you got it you got you know create extra funds, and this is a way that you create extra funds to supplement the loss of money. Now let's get to the Food. The turkey wings bland, and they wasn't cooked long enough. The tip wasn't even edible unless you get a knife and fork and I should've been able to suck them bones and slide that meat off there. So I am a bariatric patient and if it don't taste good, it goes in the trash and that's what happened to those turkey wings, and that cabbage . I won't waste a little bit. I can eat on stuff that isn't good or great ! The dressing it was good this day, especially with the cranberry sauce that I have for the first time that was great. The cabbage throw that in the trash hell damn no. The sweet potato soufflé you can't mess that up. Well sometimes you can, but I've never had it messed up. That was great. I almost wish I would've got me a veggie plate with sweet potato soufflé the dressing and gravy and some Black Eyed Peas cause I don't like their macaroni and cheese and I'm a cook. I'm a home chef. Lastly the chitlins was OK. I need to put a little red pepper flakes. And some hot sauce and a little bit of seasoning blend but I woke them up. I think from now on I'll go to Camp Creek if I want some chitlins. Just understand if you go to this location or the corporate locations they are charging you to use your debit or credit card! And it's not one price the more you spend the more that charge is . It should be one set price. It doesn't change CORPORATE!!! I'm giving it a one star because that's for the chitlins being OK

Finding mold in food that had been prepared and served to me was completely unacceptable and immediately raised concerns about the freshness, storage, handling, and overall food-safety practices at this location. When I initially contacted management, I was offered a refund only for the moldy item rather than the entire meal. After finding visible mold in my food, I obviously was not comfortable continuing to eat anything else from the same order. After further communication, management called me directly and confirmed that they would issue a full refund for the entire purchase. I even followed up in writing to document our conversation and the agreed-upon refund. Unfortunately, despite being told I would receive a full refund, I never received it. At this point, my concern is not only that I was served visibly moldy food, but also how the situation was handled afterward. I gave the restaurant an opportunity to resolve the matter directly and relied on management's commitment that the full purchase would be refunded. I sincerely hope management takes this situation seriously and reviews both its food-safety practices and how customer concerns like this are handled. Being served moldy food is unacceptable, and being promised a resolution that was never provided only made an already disappointing experience worse.
