The two of us were both happy with our selections. I was happy to be able to try okra gumbo with sides of BBQ cauliflower and grilled veggies. My fried had jambalaya with sides of creamy potatoes (like au gratin) and fried cauliflower. I'd try any of those again, as well as having something new as well. The staff was friendly and most helpful when I was at the counter trying to decide what to select.

Unfortunately, Yelp did not eat first with this one (I didn't get to take a picture of it). It came with a grilled cheese and potato salad! All the pricing online is accurate, there is street parking right in front of the restaurant with outdoor seating, and the food came out very quickly. I wouldn't really come to this restaurant to hang out with friends for a dinner since it's kind of small. But it's definitely one of those places that if you're in the area and wanting to pick up some soul food, you should DEFINITELY come here and get some.

So I got the smothered pork chops, which were paper thin and dry as hell and not smothered! Then my sides were yams, greens, and white rice. Came with Mac n cheese, too. I literally had 3 squares of yams. My guy had 2 squares, YES, we counted!!!!! They gave him a fat bone filled ham hock with no meat or gristle or nothing and scrimped on the can greens they served us. The Mac was orange with no seasoning. The pork chops weren't fried. I assume they baked those they were like eating a plastic paper plate. The best part of the meal was the white rice. I also forgot he had fried cat filets, and he said they were good. Of course, I'm never going back. Smh

Everything from the catfish and jambalaya to the fried chicken and gumbo was packed with the flavors and spices that can only be found in New Orleans, and every one of us was blown away! The only downsides were they only have takeout for lunch, the food took a while to prepare (well with the wait!), and now my friends' bar for soul food is impossibly high .

While visiting NOLA for my anniversary, my wife wanted soul food in NOLA so I searched Yelp and…read morefound this place. There's not many soul food places in NOLA to my surprise. When you walk in you're greeted and told to get a menu and place your order at the counter. They will bring your food to your table. You pick any available table. That seems to be a thing in NOLA. The place plays contemporary jazz in the background so nice ambiance. They also have TV screens playing sports. I ordered the fried chicken, cabbage and jambalaya. Everything is WELL seasoned! I love seasoned food but this was too much for me. If it was a bit less seasoned I would have enjoyed it more. My wife got the shrimp platter with corn and mac & cheese. She felt her food was good and seasoned well. She wants to go back for lunch. To be fair I'm not a soul food person. It's not my first choice of food since I ate a lot of this food at church.

The bell pepper has shrimp and ground beef in it and taste just like the ones I ate as a kid. Catfish is a must also. Their sides are just ok but still descent. However, I must say that the candied yams are good. This place is a gas station with the food counter in the back of the store. It is a grab and go type place. Parking is limited so you may have to wait until someone moves to park. There are many drink options to choose from like big shot, Fargo, Arizona tea ect. Service is fairly quick but you need to know what you want before you get to the counter because the line moves quickly. Prices get are very reasonable and you get a lot of good for the money. Definitely a must try spot.

I paid a total of $7 for the fish and two drinks. Service was fast and quick. Ordering area was busy so be sure to come early if you don't want all your selections gone. I'll definitely return for breakfast and snag some grits!
