    1 FILLET, 6 SHRIMP
    Brittanie F.

    When I tell you some of the best food I've ever had omg!!! We driver an hour to get here and didn't regret it one bit food is fresh and so seasoned the cornbread is so warm and good . The best part is the fresh soft moist pound cake I'll drive an hour any day for this food I promise .

    Good golly, Miss Molly! Stopped because it was on the way, will have to make this a regular thing. The folks were pleasant and helpful. It's a simple storefront place, clean but nothing bougie, BUT the food! First off you can smell the smoke from outside, we decided against BBQ since that was the plan for dinner, the well seasoned seafood and some sides, deserve a review of their own. The greens tasted of BBQ smoke and love, felt I needed to put on a Al Greene album while eating them, mmmm. Also, get the tartar sauce, and then forget everything you know about tartar sauce, sublime, zesty, and down right scrumptious. Had to make myself stop making yum sounds all through lunch.

    10/10 BBQ and portions. Everything tasted wonderful, I only wish I lived closer ! We enjoyed the cowboy platter and smothered pork chop with baked beans, potato salad and green beans.

    Ribs and stuffed pork

    Tried the fish and shrimp with greens and cabbage sides. The fish was seasoned good and the fillets were whole fillets. The fish was good. The shrimp were nice size and seasond like the fish. The cabbage was steamed no seasoning or meat. The greens needed more cooking time and seasoning. I also ordered the TX/LA..pork ribs/stuffed pork sides potato salad and baked beans. The stuffed pork was dry and over cooked. Very tough. I could not eat it. Gave it to the dog. The pork ribs were tender but no seasoning. The potato salad and beans were ok. Nothing special. Not bad but nothing special. I will go back for the fish and shrimp only.

    I more than offend never get to take pictures of my food because I'm a greedy hog I always take pictures of the menus or inside. Exactly because you would want to know how it's looking inside before you go somewhere of course. The service was excellent I totally forgot her name but you will know once you enter the building the peach cobbler was recommended and eaten in no time lord! I purchased the brisket sandwich and omg! Omg! I didn't even make it home the most beautiful organized sand which on this earth was something to try! The room was a mixture of well seasoned and hipsters so you can enter at any risk. Great for any family and friends a.

    Pinto beans and potato salad

    This place has been on my list to try and today, I had time. I remember reading another review about not seeing the specials for the day so upon entry, I was scoping! I didn't see it either so I went to the register to look at the menu. A few minutes later, a gentleman greeted me and he actually mentioned the special for today and pointed to the board (it's a white board behind the counter to the left). I went with the Thursday special of turkey wing plate with rice, cornbread, and 2 sides for $12.50 and the Cowboy combination plate which was preselected with sausage and brisket $15.99. The sausage stood out for me! I would've liked a little more spice but it was just enough to make me dance. The brisket was good and tasty. The sides was on the ight side. Oh and the cornbread was really good too...had a nice sweetness to it. I also appreciated how when my order was complete, the lady showed me all the food before she put it in a bag and told me to have a blessed day. Made me feel good to support this business!

    If you're craving real Southern comfort food, Mikki's is definitely worth a visit. We stopped in on…read morea busy day, and the line was almost out the door, which is always a good sign. Even with the crowd, the line kept moving, and there was no shortage of delicious-looking options on the steam table. From fried chicken and turkey wings to baked fish, spaghetti, cabbage, green beans, mac and cheese, dressing, black-eyed peas, collard greens, candied yams, mashed potatoes, and more, it was hard to decide what to order because everything looked homemade. I ordered the turkey wing with collard greens, black-eyed peas, mashed potatoes with gravy, rice, a corn muffin, and sweet potatoes. I also grabbed a Suicide Punch, which is a mix of all their Kool-Aid flavors. First, let's talk about those sweet potatoes... BABY!! They absolutely stole the show. They were piping hot, buttery, perfectly sweet, and hands down the best thing on my plate. I could've easily eaten another serving. The collard greens were seasoned beautifully with a rich, smoky flavor and plenty of pot liquor. They were tender without being mushy and tasted like they had been cooking all day. The black-eyed peas were creamy, well-seasoned, and comforting, while the mashed potatoes were smooth and paired perfectly with the savory gravy. The rice soaked up every bit of that gravy, and the corn muffin was soft with just the right touch of sweetness. The turkey wing itself was tender, juicy, and covered in flavorful gravy. My only surprise was that I was expecting just the wing portion, but instead I received the whole wing with the drum attached. It wasn't a big deal because it was still delicious--I just personally prefer getting only the wing. The Suicide Punch was another winner. If you grew up drinking Kool-Aid, you'll appreciate it. It's sweet, refreshing, and a fun mix of all the flavors. My family ordered several other dishes, so we got to try quite a variety. We had baked chicken, macaroni and cheese, candied yams, and black-eyed peas, and everything was generously portioned. The baked chicken was moist and well-seasoned, and the mac and cheese had that creamy, homemade taste you hope for from a soul food restaurant. My only real complaint was that some of the food was served lukewarm instead of hot, which took away from the experience a little. Soul food just hits differently when it's fresh and piping hot. Ironically, the sweet potatoes were the one item that came out nice and hot, and they were absolutely perfect. Overall, Mikki's serves authentic soul food with generous portions and flavors that remind you of Sunday dinner at a family member's house. The food is comforting, the selection is impressive, and it's easy to see why the place stays busy. If everything had been served hot, this would've easily been a five-star experience. Pro tip: Don't leave without getting the sweet potatoes and a Suicide Punch. Trust me--you'll thank me later. sweet potatoes and a Suicide Punch free refills. Trust me--you'll thank me later.

She seemed a little disengaged, was speaking very softly, and I believe that's where the mix up occurred. The correct sides were prepared, but they ended up on the wrong plate.

It still was borderline of being too much salt in the oxtail dish but it was tolerable. I ordered the chicken and waffles dish. It came with eggs (I added cheese) and grits. The chicken was seasoned and cooked well. I liked the flavor of the wings but was unhappy about having hairs to still pluck out of the wings. The waffle was an average waffle. The heat being trapped inside the to-go container made the powdered sugar turn into hard crystals. I wish they would have put the sugar in the side. Not too bad for a late night food craving.

People come to restaurants to have a good experience but it was just strange vibes tbh with the staff complaining and venting to each other. Don't do it in front of the customers.... It's not a good look. Also not cool how the server/bartender preselected for us what percentage for us to tip on the tablet. Anchoring like that's not going to make us want to give you any bigger of a tip. Just feels like they see you as a walking moneybag.
