I hate doing this to black owned businesses but I have to be honest. For $30 I was not satisfied at…read moreall. I'd heart good things about this place and it did not live up to the hype! The meat really did taste as if it was refried or the grease was old. Definitely wasn't fresh. The macaroni and cheese was just noodles and cheese, no flavor. The yams were stringy. The turkey collards were the only thing I enjoyed. The "cake" was honestly a mini portion of a store bought pound cake. I felt totally ripped off when I could've dinned in elsewhere for a completely different experience for $30. The staff was very nonchalant when I introduced myself as a first time customer asking for suggestions. There aren't many designated soul food places in Raleigh and I feel like this is totally a missed opportunity and it's unfortunate because I drove almost 30 min each way just for them.

I kept seeing their fliers all around my job, so I decided to give them a shot. I have been craving…read morecandied yams for quite some time & I never got the kind I loved...with the syrup...sweet and delicious!!! I have finally got what I needed here!!! Their candied yams are DELICIOUS. I actually got their food 2 days in a row. Lol. The wingettes were not really fresh the first night & neither were the shrimp. I let that go because the yams made up for it. The second night I got a fish sandwich. It was fresh. My son liked their Mac-n-cheese. I will definitely go back!

They do have seating available, but it feels more like a place where most people order their food and take it home. The parking lot is a little tight, but the food made up for it. I ordered the shrimp and fish basket, along with cabbage and mac & cheese for my sides. The cabbage was cooked well, and the mac & cheese was decent. The seafood was good, and overall the meal was worth the wait. One thing I enjoyed was their homemade lemonade. They also have plenty of menu options and daily specials depending on the day of the week, so there's a good chance you'll find something that fits what you're craving. Overall, it was a good experience. If you're in the Raleigh area and looking for some good seafood and soul food, I'd recommend giving this place a try. At the very least, it's worth checking off your list and seeing what all the buzz is about.

I really wanted to like Nana Morrison's in Cary because I had heard so much hype about it, but this…read morewas a huge disappointment for me. As an African American woman, soul food is more than just food to me. There's a certain authenticity and flavor I expect when I walk into a soul food restaurant. I ordered several items and after tasting everything, I honestly ended up throwing the entire meal away. I took a bite or spoonful of each item just to give everything a fair chance, and every time I moved on to the next thing, it was another disappointment. The mashed potatoes had a strange aftertaste that I couldn't get past. I don't know if it was the gravy or something else, but something tasted off. The barbecue ribs tasted more boiled than slow cooked and were completely drenched in sauce. The cabbage was overwhelmed with vinegar and lacked seasoning. The mac and cheese tasted more like overcooked noodles with cheese instead of flavorful baked mac and cheese. The cornbread was dry, and even the cake was dry. I will say the restaurant was clean and the employees were friendly, so I have no complaints there. My issue was with the food quality and value for the price. Spending around $80 for a meal like this did not feel worth it at all. Maybe other people love it, but based on my experience, I don't understand the hype. The food just did not taste authentic or well prepared to me. I wish I had stuck with my original plans and just gone to Mikey's Diner in Wilson, North Carolina instead. At least I would have left satisfied. For me, this wasn't worth the drive, wasn't worth the money, and I won't be returning.

My first visit was on a very hot day for this food truck. The Ouster Mushroom Po' Boy was…read moredefinitely worth the ride for me! They were lightly fried and the roll was overflowing just like my first "Shrimp Po' Boy" in New Orleans, years ago. This was definitely a hit, for me, with a side of Mac n cheese! My 2nd visit, I tried the "Smakin Mac Bowl"! A very nice helping of their Mac & cheese, topped with Carolina BarbeQ, underneath a portion of lightly fried onions! It did not disappoint! The owners are very friendly and make sure you are satisfied with their offerings! The ambience is "the food", due to it being a food truck! I check their schedule for local locations and make it my business to drop in to please my palate! If you are looking for a tasty vegan meal, find their truck and drop in! Tell them Reggie sent you!

I tried their Oyster Shroom Po'Boy and it was really good! I don't particularly like mushrooms, but it didn't taste like mushrooms at all. The mushrooms were seasoned and fried to perfection.

Meat was chicken breast and pulled pork. Came with hush puppies and coleslaw. Chicken was season right and juice and tender. The pork was spot on. The collards were really good. The coleslaw I was not a fan of. It was too tangy and tasted too much like mustardy. The hush puppies were the best I had ever had. Cooked to perfection not greasy and right amount of flavor and texture. I liked them so much I had to get a dozen to go!! The French fries were hard and over fried. Probably sitting under a heat lamp for too long. The pork was season right. I dined in so at the table they had a few sauces you can sprinkle on. Over all the food was really good and all for an amazing price. Lots of locals come there and that parking lot is always full! The restaurant staff was very friendly and the establishment was very clean! I will be a regular customer moving forward!

We started with the pimento cheese balls, which were super cheesy and delicious. They also brought out biscuits and hush puppies, and those were perfect to start the meal. For the kids, we ordered a hot dog with fries, mac and cheese with fries, and a cheeseburger with fries. All of the kids loved their meals. The fries were really good (even I enjoyed them!), and the mac and cheese was definitely the favorite. The adults ordered a double combo with pulled pork and brisket, and it was big enough to easily split between two people. My husband and I both got the Pit bacon cheeseburger, and it was so good and huge. I ended up taking half home for later. My husband also got mac and cheese and shared it with the kids, while I ordered the Brussels sprouts, which were amazing. The staff was really friendly, and everything came out nicely.
