(Coleslaw was my personal favorite) Did a buffet of chicken and pulled pork and they had the staff serve the guests to ensure there would be enough for everyone. #2 The Patio on the river was amazing and opened up the space beautifully. #3 Carey, my catering director, was on point throughout the whole experience. Super friendly, quick to respond and an absolute joy to work with. Highly recommend using this space if you have btw 25-40 ppl attending.

Bot only was everything packaged well, they included all condiments without my having to ask for anything. Their fried chicken skin was crispy and flavorful whilst the meat of the chicken was perfectly cooked and moist. The waffle delicious and the grits were a great big portion and hit the spot. Today I decided to try their beef ribs with their baked Mac and cheese and Lil Gwen's Candied Yams. I love the nonsense decor. I find it cool that it's homed inside of a truck stop which makes for excellent people watching. They offer all day breakfast as well as nice variety on the menu. Beef Rib humongous and delicious. The yams spot on seasoned amazingly not overboard perfect balance. The baked macaroni and cheese was the VIP. These guys are a true taste of downhome soul food off the beaten path. I will definitely be back. The service was fast and friendly and efficient.

For Tuesday dinner, the place was not packed at all and had great Caribbean music playing to help set the mood. We ordered the jerk chicken wings appetizer, and entrees of curried goat and Ox Tail. The wings were fall off the bone marinated chicken with a heavenly host of flavors that were spiced nice with not too much heat (would've posted pictures but they were devoured). The curried goat had a beautiful aroma and bouquet of curry flavors but was also not over powered with spicy heat. And the Ox Tail...... drool worthy, savory, tender, and stewed with love and effection. We both shared sides of coconut rice and steamed cabbage which were perfectly complements to our dishes. Dessert was a maple cornbread that made me believe my aunt Barbra was back there cheffing.. Will definitely return!! And will spread the gospel of Good Religion far and wide.

I add that point because if you know New Orleans food, you'll know how discerning native New Orleanians are about food - period. Upon arrival to Good Religion, I was a little shocked by the look and it being in NY; however, I am accustomed to good food from unassuming places. I will admit I am not a fan of buffets, but Good Religion is more than a buffet, it's your auntie's kitchen. There is a difference!

I'm from Brooklyn and my mother wanted to go here for a Mother's Day dinner. The food is just a 5/10, very mid. My brother had the oxtail and there was no Caribbean in the kitchen cooking them. They were tough and awful. These are southern style oxtail not Caribbean oxtail. The macaroni and cheese was not good. I could tell he doesn't season his noodles or the mixture. The gravy and chicken was also not seasoned well. Overall, I wouldn't go back here. The food was simply not good. That was my first and last and my Mom's too.

In the…read moreAlbany area, there are 2 on the list of Black Owned restaurants, this place Johnnie's on Broadway and Irie Vybez. I wasn't feeling the Caribbean, so I went for soul food. The nicest thing I can say is it came quickly. I ordered fried shrimp with string beans and Mac and cheese as sides, which comes with cornbread. The string beans seasoning was the best thing on the plate. It had ham hocks, peppers, onions, and sauteed very well. I almost drank its juice; it was so damn good. The Macaroni and cheese were decent, wasn't all too bad, and not nearly good enough. The cornbread was gross; tossed that in the garbage. The fried shrimp was a joke. For $18, the shrimp was so small, and only 6 came with it. I was like where the rest of the food. This place was ok but not worth buying from again. Sorry to improve your menu, and you can get more business.

Cute little Southern restaurant. We had some French toast and some shrimp and grits. I personally…read moredid not like the texture of the French toast. The outside was soft, but the inside wasn't as fluffy as it looked. It was a little too bready compared to standard French toast. Normally, I see French toast as a soft fluffy type of bread. This wasn't that. My partner said it was OK though! But he did say it didn't taste like French toast that we expected. Nonetheless, the shrimp and grits was great, and my partner loved it a lot! The service was OK, but after we ate, we waited about 30 minutes to get our check. They took our dishes and we asked for a check, but we still had to wait 20 minutes after which was a little agitating. We actually had to go up to the front and tell them "hey we asked for a check can we get the check now", is was an experience. I understand it was a weekend and the restaurant was half full. But we did ask for a check and we have nothing on our tables, it took as long as it took to get the food to just to get the check.
