We had chicken, baked and fried, macaroni and cheese, greens, and cornbread. Firstly, the fried chicken was delicious! It was seasoned and fried perfectly. The greens were delicious too, not too salty but definitely seasoned very well. The macaroni and cheese was also very delicious. It wasn't too hard or chewy, something I dislike about some, but it also had a very nice cheese flavor. Additionally, working with them for the catering process was amazing. They were extremely kind and accommodating for our family and this large meal. My parents visited once before our reunion and told me that they loved it so I had high hopes when I heard they were catering. They did not disappoint. I plan to go very soon to try some of their other meals as its definitely high up on restaurants I want to try.

The line was long, but they kept things moving with someone taking orders, which made the process efficient. We didn't get a chance to actually see the food line until we got closer to the front but if we had, we would've chosen something different. Still, our meal overall was good. The greens and the rice with gravy could've used a bit more flavor.The red velvet cake, unfortunately, was a 0/5 for me. For the price -- about $40 -- I'm not sure it was fully worth it, but I WOULD go back to try other menu items.

O' Taste & See Update: Heavy Plates Still Delivering…read more I previously called this the "Home of the Heavy Plates," and after another visit, that title still fits. This time we came back because O' Taste & See now has a dining area and we wanted to eat inside. One surprise was that they were open today because they are usually closed on Saturdays. This happened to be the Saturday before Memorial Day weekend. Walking in, it was immediately obvious they were busy. There was a steady flow of carryout and DoorDash orders moving through, and several people were waiting. One suggestion that would help future customers is clearer communication on where the ordering line begins. Customers waiting for food and customers ordering blended together a little. A simple standing sign would probably help. Despite the crowd, from placing our order until checkout took about 17 minutes, which was efficient considering the traffic they were handling. I ordered the ribs with potato salad and baked beans. The ribs were smoked well with good tenderness and a sauce that had the right amount of sweetness without overpowering the meat. The potato salad needed a little salt and pepper for my taste, but after that it landed much better. The homemade baked beans had good flavor. My wife ordered the oxtails with collard greens and mac and cheese. The oxtails were tender and had a unique seasoning profile that she described as having an almost Indian-like flavor profile. The mac and cheese was creamy and good, and the greens paired well with the cornbread. My wife even mixed the greens and cornbread together. The Country Punch was good and refreshing with the meal. My wife originally wanted the red velvet cake without nuts, but they were sold out. I stepped in and handled dessert responsibilities myself . One observation my wife made was interesting. The dining area gives off more of a fine dining vibe than expected for a soul food spot. The space feels more elevated and polished. However, we were still served in to-go containers and our punch came out in a half-gallon style container. The atmosphere and presentation felt a little disconnected. Not necessarily bad, just somewhat inconsistent. The food says one thing and the dining presentation says another. One thing worth mentioning is value. Two meat-and-three plates, two drinks, and one dessert came to $73.79. That definitely puts O' Taste & See toward the higher end of soul food pricing. However, the portions are heavy, the meats are quality, and the homemade sides help justify much of that price. Not necessarily an everyday stop for many families, but the food quality delivered. Food was on point.

They no longer have French toast so I did have to pick something different. Our server was Caitlyn and she was very attentive and friendly. There were five of us and we all ordered different things I started off with the pineapple and orange juice mimosa. Once some of us realize that we wanted a second one we ended up getting a bottle of champagne and we were able to get three juices with it. We picked pineapple, orange, and lavender. Lavender was a little too syrupy for my taste. And for $24 you really can't beat that. I got the crabcake Benedict with two hash brown sticks. It was so delicious. I can't wait to go back and get some more. This is a really cool restaurant because it is in an old elementary school that they turned into businesses when you go into the hallway it's like you're at a school which you are. If you go to the bathroom the toilet seats are very low to the floor. They do not take reservations, but when we got there on a Saturday morning at 11, there was no wait. When it's busy, parking can be complicated. I will definitely be back for brunch. If you haven't tried it I highly suggest going.

My guy and I visited one afternoon recently. We live on the opposite area of town but had read…read more great reviews so we decided to visit for ourselves. Upon entering, we told Mr Oli (the owner) that it was our first visit. Not only did he explain the menu in great detail to us, but he gave us samples of the chicken salad, lamb and baklava while we made our decision on what we were ordering. I had my mind set on the chicken kabobs, but changed after he showed me a plated salmon meal. It was cooked just as I like it so I ordered one for myself. My guy, who isn't big on trying new things, opted for the lemon pepper wings and fries combo. However, he did agree to try the gyro meal on our next visit. We also ordered a special dessert Mr Oli told us was a secret recipe from his wife that could only be found at his restaurant. I was excited to try it! A short time later, our food was brought to our table by Mr Oli. My salmon was cooked to perfection and seasoned just right. The salad was fresh and the dressing complemented it well. The pita bread was served warm and the hummus was creamy and flavorful. My guy enjoyed his wings and said that he could taste the special touch Mr Oli put on them. The dessert was something special. Crispy, and fried golden with a unique taste, it definitely was something we would order again on our next visit. It wasn't sweet but met the needs of a sweet tooth calling. If that makes any sense, lol. The creamy cheese filling reminded me of a decadent cheesecake. The ambiance gave quaint neighborhood eatery. As we sat and waited on our food, we saw regulars come in and order. They chatted with Mr Oli as he prepared their orders. He's super friendly and I want to see his business thrive. Great customer service, delicious, healthy food at comparable prices makes for a 5 star review. I can't wait to return for the chicken kabobs!

It looks to be family owned and the young boy who helped me was very courteous! The catfish was a bit salty but definitely seasoned well.

They remind me of a place that closed down in my hometown. So good. The fruit punch was amazing as well. I'll definitely be back soon!
