    Pictures of inside Sweet Potato Grande where we ate "lunch" for $136.00 using plastic utensils

    Well this place advertises that they have done in seating. Lol, not at the address but 2 storefronts up the street to a dark and dingy storefront that's dimly lit. They want you to order at the address listed then go to the spot and sit down to eat. How is the food served, in a to go bag with plastic utensils. The ribs, macaroni and cheese and collard greens were pretty tasty but all of the food was very sweet. I wanted a slice of sweet potato pie, instead I was brought a small round pie about 5 inches round. Needless to say for 3 people our bill was $136.00. We arrived at 1pm and was given the dinner menu. Very uncomfortable seating so we had to bring our food home to add hot sauce to help cut down on the sweetness. And the punch was way too sweet. Not someplace that I would recommend. Btw, the cornbread came straight out of the refrigerator.

    Dry and overcooked

    Waited forever for food even tho I called in ahead. No space to even stand while waiting for a meal I could barely eat. Nearly $30 spent for greasy, tiny, hard, dry wings cooked in last weeks fish oil. Greasy greens and flavorless mac. Total waste of time and money. Should have got pizza. This is not the same Sweet Potato from years ago when they had tables and chairs. Bye!

    Southern Fried Chicken with a side of Mac and Cheese and Candied Yams
    Phoenix C.

    Overall, I give this restaurant 4 stars for serving hot food, great packaging that kept the food hot, and great customer service. I just moved to the area and was in search of some southern comfort food. I came across this place on yelp. Because of the mixed reviews I was very very cautious. The food arrived within 45 minutes and the packaging ensured that it was kept hot. There was some condensation in the fries container, but that is to be expected and shows they were hot. Southern fried chicken: When I first tasted the chicken I was happy that it was hot and could tell it was cooked fresh. However, the taste was a bit off to the point where I wasn't comfortable finishing it. It tasted like the chicken was cooked fresh but that the chicken itself was on the verge of being rancid. Max and cheese: I thought the mac and cheese was good. It was nicely seasoned and cheesy. Candied Yams: These were my favorite. Good amount of sweetness and I could tell they used fresh yams as opposed to canned. Steak fries: These were cooked fresh. My only issue is that to be labeled as herb fries, they didn't have a lot of flavor. I seasoned them more to spice them up. Peach cobbler: I didn't care for this at all. The taste was bland and it didn't taste fresh. It tasted like it was cooked a few days or even a week ago. The reason I gave this place 4 stars despite some of the food not tasting super fresh was for the customer service. I reported an issue with the order on Uber eats and received a response from a restaurant. I also appreciated that the food was cooked fresh. However, for the price, I expect to get chicken that is freshly bought and seasoned and can tell from taste when something has been sitting in the pantry for a while before being fried. I'm definitely willing to give this place another try, perhaps business slowed down this week leading to the almost sour taste underlying the chicken and peach cobbler? I'm willing to speculate that this place is capable of serving fresh food and was happy that the business took the feedback as an opportunity to grow as opposed to being defensive or dismissive. Overall, I recommend giving this place a chance, as they are clearly capable of making excellent soul food!

From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and clean, with nice music playing in the background that really set the mood for a relaxing brunch. The staff and service were excellent everyone was friendly, attentive, and professional. The drinks from the bar were honestly some of the best I've had in a long time. The bartender definitely did not skimp on the liquor, and the drink was perfectly made. For brunch, I ordered the omelet with jerk shrimp and it was absolutely delicious flavorful, well-seasoned, and cooked perfectly. My friend ordered the catfish and she loved it as well. Everything tasted fresh and well prepared. She also ordered dessert and really enjoyed it. Toward the end of our meal, Alvin, the owner, came over to our table and introduced himself, which was such a nice personal touch and made the experience even more special. Before leaving, I even ordered food to take home because the meal was that good. Overall, this restaurant was an excellent choice. Great food, great drinks, great service, and a great atmosphere. My friend and I enjoyed it so much that we are already planning to come back again with our husbands. I would definitely recommend Alvin & Friends for brunch.

    I would give six stars if I could!…read more I came here for Sunday brunch. They don't have dedicated parking, but there is a convenient public lot right across the street. The restaurant is modern, crisp, and bright, with colorful paintings adorning the walls. The menu is provided on digital tablets at the table, which are more convenient than having to scan a QR code. They have a great selection of custom cocktails. I ordered the rum punch and enjoyed the sweetness and fruity flavor. For my main, I had the avocado toast. The bread was soft, thick, flaky, and slightly sweet. The avocado was fresh and chunky. Based on reviews, I also got a side of the mac and cheese and it did not disappoint. It was well seasoned with creamy cheese and a well done top layer. My husband enjoyed the shrimp and grits. For dessert, we had the bread pudding. This took about twenty minutes to come out, which was a bit of a long wait. I loved the caramelized berry topping. The bread was a bit chewy, but still tasty. Service was excellent. The owner, Alvin, stopped by our table twice to make sure we were well taken care of. Can't wait to come back again with the rest of my family!

All true, but that's the issue. She can make good food, but it is not in any way shape nor form worth the terrible attitude that comes with it, she is not doing anyone a favor by having a business and I think she should just go back to selling bagged meals from her project like she used to do. I screenshot the messages SHE initiated and sent to ME through yelp and they removed them probably because of HER language, I only responded with foul language to combat her own. In one message to me she bragged about still being on welfare because that makes her smart (I blame trump for making fraud acceptable) $151 for a 5 bedroom townhouse she says and "dumb dumbs wish they were as smart as me" she says in one message. I don't think it's much of a flex to be bragging about how you work the system, and it gives talking points to evil republicans who want to take it away from those who really do need and depend on a social safety net. The owners criminal is extensive but has been keeping her nose clean for the past few years save the acknowledged fraud. I imagine running your business in the red every year is one way to stay on welfare and not have to be responsible. I was in one day when either the owner or her man's car was getting hooked up by the truck of repossession agent and oh lord have mercy was that a show to be seen!! I only wish I had the recording of it still but it was so long ago I don't want to look it up. TBH if she would just cook and avoid customer services altogether the place wouldn't be a place where I don't want to spend my money because of the type of person it goes to.. Remember the famous Seinfeld episode with a guy who made amazing soups but was so rude and ran it like a camp? Well this is the exact same thing but with soul food. It's like a prison canteen but with good food and the owner is the lady warden to prepare your food but ensure you don't enjoy eating it. The biggest mistake anyone can make here is going in with intention of exchanging money for prepared food

To start, we shared the crispy brussel sprouts Charleston style. These were delicious with the tangy sauce and large flakes of parmesan cheese. For my main, I had the brunch wrap. It comes with chips, but I swapped for fries for an additional charge. The wrap was a good size; I had half and saved the rest for leftovers. It was tasty, but not a ton of flavor. The tater tots were nice and crispy and I enjoyed the fresh tomatoes and avocado. They gave me a huge portion of crinkle cut fries, which also would've been great with a little more seasoning, but they were good when dipped in mayo. My husband got the shrimp and grits and appreciated the large portion size as well. I had a lemonade to drink. It was refreshing since it wasn't overly sweet. Service was great. I look forward to trying the rest of the menu!

Aesthetically, each table feels like a meal at a family dinner table; it's clear that they wanted that vibe to be translated, and it's done quite well. This is also supported by the service being very friendly and helpful in general. To eat, I had the French toast burger with sweet potato fries. Some others with me had various sides like regular fries and tater tots, and the same thing was present on them that tends not to be at most places: they were all perfectly salted/seasoned. It might seem immaterial, but it's a very good signal when something that simple--yet often neglected in favor of just using condiments to mask it--is executed well. If you're a burger place with fries that taste great without the need for a sauce or condiment, you're doing something right. The French toast burger was likewise fantastic, combining sweet and savory in a great way. To drink, we all got a communal pitcher of the only frozie they had available at the time: a kind of jungle juice vodka slushie. It, too, was great--worthy of multiple rounds. All in all, here's a place that I can't wait to give another visit.
