Nadia's single smash has Nadia's secret sauce, which I'm told was like a bigmac sauce. I think it tasted similar but was also thinking aioli. The smashburger was a perfect smash but could use more secret sauce The Big Man on Campus had cheese stuffed inside the burger and it was a delicious surprise I think they can benefit from having a double smash burger. Punk'd signature sauce was a sweet & smoky sauce I came on a monday and they have $5 milkshakes. You can taste the oreo cookie chunks in the cookies & cream milkshake. They also have a HUGE dining table and a couple other tables. Perfect for a birthday or celebration. Its cash only

Cons: a lot of people come. It's a bit crowded for my liking & the cherry on the top was a pet cat walking around. I have no problem with pets I'm just not a fan of them in food establishments but it didn't seem to bother the patrons. So there you go. The person I took was pleased with the food. I guess that's what mattered.

They also have steamed seafood platters as well. But the breaded wings & gizzards are my favorite. Every thing taste nice & fresh. U put your own condiments on. They sell desserts also. The lemon cake is pretty good. Homemade ice tea and other juice. This place is a gem in the hood. I always call my order in ahead of time. Because it's metered parking. The owners are professional and have great customer service skills. The only con is that they only accept cash. ATM is inside the restaurant but the fees are inconvenient. I've being coming here for a few years. 5 stars indeed..

When I went to pay I added some potato salad and asked if they sell the wings by piece. They don't but were nice enough to for me. I really appreciate this type of customer service! It's the little things! Very much appreciated!!! The chili is so good! Packed with lots of brisket bits and they do not skimp and it pairs perfectly with the cornbread. I did not realize they have a few cornbread options; reg, sweet potato, peach. So good!!!! The greens were sooooo very good! Perfectly seasoned tender with still a little bite not overly vinigery either. I just made a new word lol. Potato salad was solid. A bit on the heavy mustard vibe but still very good. The wing was perfectly smoked and juicy and a nice size too! Dibb's is the truth! Just go!

As someone who enjoys supporting businesses of color, it breaks my HEART to have to write a review…read morethat is lined with what will be perceived as negativity. So when you read this please take these as constructive critiques to help improve the business rather than a knit-picky tirade. Ambiance: as we walked in, there were carts of various chicken products, congeals, and bags of flour that were being carted in and out of the restaurant. This continued throughout the entire meal. I recognize that it is possible that there is only the one exit which makes this process difficult for the customers not to see, however it is a bit jarring to see those things while you are eating. Especially when you are asking customers to stand up because the table set up gets in the walkway where the cart is moving. There was also a noticeable hole in the ground where we were seated and my foot slipped in it on my way out, which is dangerous in itself. Service: as we entered there was no one attending the front desk, it almost seemed as though it was just a self service desk similar to a fast casual restaurant so we walked back to the seating area to see what was going on. Eventually someone came out, asked us how many and then proceeded to get on a personal phone call and went outside as we stood there. I recognize this could have been an emergency and she did apologize afterwards. Once we were seated and ready to order, a member of my party asked a question about chicken pieces and it seemed the waitress wasn't very knowledgeable about what was written on the menu. We also noticed she was the only waitress attending about 9 tables. Food: I got what was suppose to be the equivalent of a Thanksgiving sandwich, the gobble gobble that was suppose to include: stuffing, mashed potatoes and some form of gravy. The sandwich was dry and while it came with a sauce on the side, something like cranberry would have elevated this sandwich. I assume at some point this did have a cranberry relish or cranberry compote addition but on this particular day it did not. We ordered the various bbq sauces and that really helped elevate this sandwich. As a table we got the Mac and cheese to share and it was particularly sharp, I don't have much to say about this because some people prefer their Mac this way. Another member of my party got the fried chicken stack and he enjoyed everything about it! While he thought it was a lot, he thought the chicken was fried well, the mix of ingredients was balanced and it was so much food he took half of it to go! We all enjoyed the fries as stand out and particularly yummy. Overall: I believe this place is trying. I think operating as take out and order in could work if the set up of the resturant wasn't strained by the singular exit and the super narrow hallway. Having one waitress made the wait times particularly long but again I understand the constraints of the restaurant. With all of these fundamental issues I don't believe their price point is justified,especially the cork fee. However, they are the only Black owned restaurant(to my knowledge with the leaving of their sister company Amina) in Old City so there is a lot of potential there! I hope to return with a much better experience!

We decided to dine at this establishment and I must say we were absolutely delighted by the food, service , everything. Our server Elle was fantastic and very attentive to our needs. For our appetizer, we ordered the deviled eggs. Four dinner we ordered the four piece Fried Chicken with Mac & Cheese, Collard Greens and Mashed Potatoes. If you are a M&C fan, you MUST try there Mac! The Collard Greens were Fantastic! If you're wondering around Philadelphia, I definitely recommend that you stop in the black hen and have some dinner.

woo child. where do i begin?…read more let's start with the good part... the food: the burger is competition worthy. and that is where we stop. that's 85% of this review. they seem to be an up and coming business working out the kinks. obviously a family. and so is every one patronizing this truck. they seemed a little disorganized. orders were out of wack, the young person taking the orders was not relaying it to the adult who was helping the cook. at a point various folks got on the truck to take a tour getting in their way. i truly hope they work the kinks out since i got my order (almost an hour later) and it was...and i can't stress this enough...delicious!

I got the pork rib and white chicken combo platter. Price was $19 , sides were greens and potato salad. First yhe sides---half a spoonful?? It didn't even fill those spaces in yhe take out container. Greens were freshly cooked but WAY TOO much salt. Took onr bite of that and left it alone. Potato salad was ok but you had too much paprika and mayo in it. Was more like potato soup. Ribs--- three pieces??? Come on?? And they were end pieces at that. So they were tough and grisly. The only good part if my platter was the chicken. It was moist and flavorful. The skin had that crisp crunch off the grill flavor. Your sauce was way too watered down. It didnt even stick to the food. You said once i had your food, I'll be back. Put your confidence in your food----and step up your game. You cant sell food thinking that all your patrons are just coming from the many bars or beer spots around the corner. Some of us want some good food. Two stars for the pleasant conversation though but i won't be back.
