The only thing more overrated than this restaurant, are the pies everyone keeps pretending are…read moregood. My apple pie and the lemon meringue pie the person with me ordered, tasted like something from a gas station display case - bad crust and awful flavor. Neither of us could finish them. The food was bland and the low-quality ingredients were noticeable right away. Some dishes arrived on plastic plates and others on stoneware, creating an odd and inconsistent presentation. This place survives because it's in a tiny town with limited choices - not because the food deserves praise. And after reviewing the restaurant's track record of negative findings from health inspectors overtime, this only adds to our overall dissatisfaction.

I'm not too close to Fresno but would recommend this to anyone who is in the area. I would make it a point to come back again if I were in the area for sure! My husband got the chicken and waffles while I ordered one of their specials of the day - rib tips. I got mashed potatoes and macaroni on the side (they were delicious but definitely regretted not trying other sides). The rib tips were perfect, smokey and tender. The fried chicken was sooo crispy and juicy. I do prefer crispier waffles, but it still went well with the very crispy chicken. The portions are plentiful, I had enough for a second meal.

We drove an hour to eat here from Atwater and it was well worth it!…read more Fried chicken was the best. We also had the catfish and it was delicious, as well. Our favorite: fried green tomatoes and okra for appetizers. The sauce was awesome. 5 stars! The sides: collard greens were very salty for my taste but full of flavor. Rice pilaf was flavorful but was also salty. Sweet potatoes were perfect. Corn bread was just ok. 4 start. We met Chef Paul himself. He was nice and very funny! The restaurant is small so there will be a wait. We got there around 2pm so we didn't have to wait too long. Maybe just 20 mins. We'll be back for sure if we're back on that side again.

My husband ordered three of the chicken dinners which was chicken wings not a variety of pieces, which I assumed from the price. the taste made up for it. (Except now I would really like a juicy chicken breast.) We also got the combo/marathon. Glad we did because the fried fish and shrimp are worth the additional price. The shrimp has a light batter, I really liked them and will order a shrimp dinner the next time. Our sides were string beans with bacon - YUMM they were still hot when I dug in, collard greens - yeah, YUMM (not too salty which is key for me) and potato salad - YUM again (heavy on the mustard as it should be)!. We also had a slice of sweet potato pie, YUMMM! Do yourself a favor and try Barb's Soulfood!

We'll definitely be back to try the famous oxtails!

Lord where do I even START!! This place is amazing beyond belief I'm not kidding!…read more We made a reservation for a company luncheon with 16 of us. Made it 1 week in advance and they were set and ready for us! The employees are so sweet and helpful and the food came out before the other half of the table even finished ordering I'm not kidding! The fried chicken combo (3 piece) was phenomenal! I got Mac n cheese with yams and cornbread and then added on a chili for extra $ Everything was piping hot so it was very fresh. The chicken was juicy as all hell and that flavor oh my gosh! Best fried chicken I've ever had. The yams were so sweet and flavorful all the way through, and the Mac n cheese had a nice crust with the perfect creamy texture to it! The cornbread was as good as any and the chili beans had the perfect kick! I do prefer a more soupy meat based chili myself but no complaints here! A lot of my coworkers had the fried fish and were RAVING about it! The type of fish they use really shows in the taste and quality! The spicy fried fish was good as well and the sea food gumbo was also delicious all according to the table! Prices are to be expected, it's not your cheapest option but babe it's the yummiest so get on over there! The inside is cute and cozy and they accommodated our party size nicely. They had some good music playing in the kitchen too which we appreciated! Nonetheless DONT MISS THIS PLACE! Please come support and give them your business! Not too many soul food places in Fresno so make this your go to fr!

This is Soul food on wheels. The truck was out front of the local art hop spot for a special event,…read morehowever, like all food trucks, it travels to various spots around town. On Friday's, the truck is out at the Manchester Center farmer's market. We tried the jerk wings, pulled pork sandwich, hush puppies, and sweet potato fries. I would say the wings are the crown jewel of the menu. They remained crispy despite the delicious sauce that was slathered on it. The sauce was quite delicious itself, with just the right amount of sweetness and spice. The pulled pork was dressed in a "sweet and sassy" sauce, which was rather tangy. It seemed to be more of a vinegar based sauce. The coleslaw was also on the tangy side. The bun was slightly toasted as well, a nice added touch. Next on the list, hush puppies. They were great! Crispy and slightly spicy with a hint of jalapeño. On to the sweet potato fries; they were different. There was some type of sweet savory seasoning on the fries. It reminded me of Thanksgiving. Overall, the food tasted good. I would definitely check this place out again, especially since they were not serving mac n cheese on the day we went out to try their food. Next time fore sure!

However, the bag we received was incredibly spicy. My son and daughter couldn't even enjoy it. I had to buy a whole new personal bag for my son just to eat. To make matters worse, the bag was so mushy from the potatoes that it was by far the worst experience I've ever had. Honestly, it was just a waste of money.

Brisket was fantastic and the flat was almost as soft as the point (google brisket flat and point if you don't know). Ribs were a perfect bite off. Tri tip was cooked was cooked to my satisfaction and the flavor was great. I ate all my Cole slaw (trust me that means something) and the beans were fire!! Everything was pleasantly smoky.

What's convenient is they have a posted paper at the front to tell you what they ran out of, so you know when you order. They ran out of their 2 cobblers, chicken lollipop (I usually find that they run out of this often) and pork belly today. Took 10 mins to get food after ordering. A good amount of spots to eat inside and outside. We ordered two 2-meat plates + cornbread. All in all, we had their brisket, burnt ends, tri-tip, and ribs + coleslaw, potato salad, Mac & cheese, and beans as sides. We've tried almost everything at earlier visits and burnt ends are still my fav. All meats are tasty with their special rub, as well as their OG bbq sauce on the burnt ends. No notes for any of the sides- just delicious! Also if you like some heat, definitely get their spicy BBQ sauce on the side. This will forever be my fav BBQ spot!
