    Congratulations on the expansion ! The owners of Caribbean Sunshine Bakery have created a soul Food restaurant. I was able to try 2 meals: stewed chicken meal and a smothered pork chop meal. Both came with 2 sides and a cornbread muffin. The Mac and cheese was fiya !!!

    This is the most excellent restaurant. Clean and friendly. Well priced with excellent portions. We had the oxtail and the Curry goat. That came with rice and peas, cabbage plantains, and a dumpling. Portion size is stupendous and everyone is so very very friendly. We washed it all down with a red stripe and a Guinness.

    I wanted to give a 4 rating based on the tenderness of the Oxtails but the young lady (red net on her head) attitude was a little stank. I asked what's the difference between the small and large dinners the 1st chick who took my order said "um 1 is larger than the other" I'm like no crap Sherlock. Normally you're told how many servings but ok, whatever. I then asked for hot sauce or butter (for my cornbread) and red hairnet said No! The lil guy that was helping them at the bar jumped in suggested I try a spicey sauce made of cabbage and peppers and it was very tasty.

    Jerk Chicken, Rice & Peas..... Also fried plantains......

    Jerk chicken, rice and peas was fireeeee!! A little on the spicy side but delicious!! They were out of oxtail and cornbread. Would love to try that next time!!

    If you're looking for a place that serves food that warms your soul and satisfies your appetite,…read morethis is it! The staff is welcoming and friendly, and the portions are generous. While it's primarily a takeout establishment, the owner will occasionally accommodate small groups with seating when possible. What really sets this place apart is the genuine hospitality and the love that goes into every meal. You can taste the care in the food and feel it in the service. If you're looking for delicious, comforting food made with heart, I highly recommend giving them a try!

    Food Made With Love…read more I'm visiting from out the state and the only food I desired was southern cooking. There were a few choices on Yelp and Google but I selected P&D. The first letter of the husband an wife names. My expectations were high, and they should have been based on the reviews. This is not a standalone location as the are other businesses within the same building. You won't see P&D on the exterior signage but you will see "Soul Food Kitchen" A la carte buffet style food served. I like this so I could see what I'm ordering. Which is way I should have not purchased the Mac&cheese. Macaroni noodles and shredded cheese melted within. A serious faux pas for macaroni and cheese. I observed how many customers appeared to be regulars, and several people were ordering additional food to take home. I ordered two full meals. The main dishes are served with cornbread dressing on the savory side or rice. One suggestion for P&D would be to offer a brown gravy option alongside that is not meat-based specifically for the dressing. The highlights for me were the yams, fried fish, and pork chop and red velvet cake. Those dishes were well seasoned & well-prepared. Without being critical of the other side dishes this is what I would say: Sharing a few side dishes with your group before committing to larger portions. If you're a singleton stick to yellow rice, yams, and beans. While some food choices did not meet my palate, I can understand why this place has a loyal following. The welcoming familial atmosphere, location, and comfort food are sometimes the basics of what people need to get through the day. Service: 5 stars Food portions: 5 stars Food presentation: 4 stars Parking: 5 stars Returning?: Unlikely "When food is made with love, it's hard to critique the heart."

    Hey there! Went to Nikki's place this past weekend with my wife and my son and I'll tell you, it…read moredidn't disappoint. I've been wondering for a while where to get some good stick to your ribs so food, so when my wife told us that Nikki's Place reached out to her to come try some authentic soul food, I had to join her. We had to make sure to get an array of different things to try as much as possible. So we ordered.. smothered pork chops, fried catfish and shrimp, lemon butter chicken wings, red rice, Collard greens, Lima beans, black eyed peas, cornbread, candied yams, mac and cheese, and some onion fries.. with some sweet tea. I want to tell you, every bite I took had me closing my eyes and smiling. My only complaint was the lima beans were a little bit salty, but when I ate it with everything else it didn't really matter. The lemon butter fried chicken wings were absolutely amazing. I have not tasted anything like that in my life. You can't go there and not get them. You need these wings. I'd also like to say that all the sides are meat-free , so vegetarians come get some . We ate till we were full, and we had enough to take home as well. We took an order of bread pudding home for dessert and that was absolutely delicious too. Overall absolutely great food. The staff took care of us very well. Highly recommended!

So it has been awhile since I ate here and I was craving soul food. The menu had changed. They stop cooking certain things only cooking certain items on certain days. Wednesday is meatloaf. Oxtails on Thursday and BBQ ribs / Chicken on Friday & Saturdays. The website menu states the menu weekly. Came in around 12-1pm on a Friday. No line but few customers inside. The inside was not fully cool from the AC so that was a worry of having steam hot food and mediocre AC cool air inside. So this day was BBQ day and they had smothered porkchops and fried/baked chicken as other proteins. I opted for Baked chicken (5pcs), mac & cheese, collards. I also ordea vegetable plate which is pretty much sides plate. I opted for yams, potato salad and mac & cheese. Also ordered bread pudding and banana pudding. The portions here are hefty. Just be mindful. Sat inside and just ate because I was hungry and it was a drive to get here. The baked chicken was seasoned very well but I felt the meat was not as juicy tender as how I expect it to be as baked chicken. The collards were delicious tender slight bitterness with some pcs of pork fat and meat throughout. Not too salty. You can really taste the natural juices of the collards when this was cooked with the taste of smoked pork. The mac & cheese didn't have the cheese crisp baked. topping but you can taste the pasta was possibly boiled in broth. Great Cheesy taste not much cheese pull. Delicious mac & cheese. The yams here are candied but when you get it it has a sweet stew taste. No dairy in her yams. Its pure yams and broth. Its one of my fave way to eat candied yams because its not the sticky candied types. One of my fave sides here. The potato salad had missing paprika sprinkled on top but it was delicious. The portion was hefty. They pack it inside the small to go container really well. It had eggs in it lots of potatoes and you can taste mustard perhaps in it. Tangy potato salad. Bread pudding was also a favorite of mine. Solid tender block of really flavored bread pudding. Not soggy but tender when eaten. Not too sweet but enough sweetness to devour. This has raisins btw. Banana pudding is another favorite of mine even though it tasted jello mix was used. Nilla wafers are the cookie components and when you get this the cookies are not soggy. I think they prepare to order so that the wafers don't get soggy. Another fave dessert here for me and you get alot in a small take out container. Yellow rice is curry seasoned. It's not those Spanish yellow rice. You can slightly taste curry powder was perhaps used to seasoned and color the rice. Its a delicious side to eat with proteins that they serve there. The cornbread is a good slice of cornbread and its grainy sweet so its not jiffy cornbread. Its texture you can tell has cornmeal in it and right amount of sweetness and not too cakey. It's one of my favorites of cornbread served locally. Prices went up but for the portions it's worth the up charge. A dinner plate is in its $20 ish and lunch is in its $15 ish. Dinner gets 2 sides while lunch is 1 side. Drinks are extra. Ms. Kim so far has been helping serve the customers so its nice to meet her and have a conversation about her cooking and Netflix episode. Definitely my favorite spot for home cooking style soul food in Orlando.

What does THAT have to do with me when the alternative is an ADDITIONAL fee (inflation charge of 3.0%) q- a 3.5 service charge to use a credit/debit card? So you're telling me because YOU don't bank effectively and efficiently that you cannot provide me change? Nor can you remove the 3.5% fee that I shouldn't be forced to pay? Spoke with the 'manager' 'Tee' who advised he had no credentials to remove the 3.5 fee nor could remove any percentage from my ticket. Literally worth|ess. If I didn't drive 40 minutes here I would have left...that's fine though. I won't be back.
