The fried Catfish was perfectly batter, thin yet crispy. They had the best collard greens I have ever tasted, with just the right amount of chili spice.

The hubs and my parents and myself enjoyed everything we ordered. The women who served us were patient, personable and kind. I think the collard greens and yams were my favorite.

Don't get me wrong, the other food items tasted great, however the chicken was clearly charcoaled to death and probably not safe to eat. It was burnt but seasoned well.

Wow! I became aware of this restaurant, because one of my…read moredaughters said she wanted to visit this eatery during a planned trip to Philadelphia. I read reviews and they were somewhat mixed, but I put my faith in the Elites, who were on point. I ordered the fried fish, mac and cheese, and candied yams. The portions were enormous and more than I could eat alone. My daughter ordered the same sides, but had the bbq chicken bites, and an extra side of seafood salad. My fish was not greasy at all, and the cornmeal crust was light and crispy. It wasn't over seasoned and was delicious. The cinnamon and nutmeg in the candied yams were well balanced and reminiscent of a southern Thanksgiving dinner... a little sweet, but yummy nonetheless. The macaroni and cheese was also as Thanksgiving worthy and beyond. I tasted a chicken bite, and wished I had ordered those too... my eyes are truly bigger than my stomach lol. I liked the seafood salad, but if I lived in Philly, I would order it to accompany a great big mixed green salad. It holds its own and for me, doesn't need to be a side dish. It was an honor to visit Ms. Saud's restaurant, and contribute to her mission

I thought that it took awhile, but hoped that it meant everything would be fresh -and it was. Upon arrival I was shown each platter to ensure my satisfaction, which I really appreciated.

Oooey, gooey, cheesy goodness! The interior is cute and intimate and can't wait to sit for a meal next time. 10/10

Pretty excited I stumbled upon this spot from taking the wrong street. I will say it's almost easy…read moreto miss if you're not familiar with the area, but there's ample off street parking. Now looks can be deceiving and I was hesitant on going in and then upon entering I thought I had the wrong spot. They seem more busy if you order via online than if you're a walk-in, but the owner is super friendly. Now the food... good golly did the smell of it fill my car that I couldn't get home fast enough. I got the fish platter with Mac n cheese, yams & collard/cabbage mix. The fish is whiting and was fried nicely and enjoyed the seasoning, the yams were a big stringy for me yet the taste was also really good. Now the Mac n cheese was decent and I liked the green mixture which I've never had before. The shining star was that fish which I've been craving fried fish. It was a good portion of food for $23 and they accept cash/card. I'll be back.

While going to Philly for a night out we wanted Soul food but didn't have time to sit down and eat…read more So we googled soul food. This place popped up and since it was 10mins away from Helium comedy club we went. Upon entering I noticed it was an Asian lady in there. Yeah first red flag. Second after ordering we heard buttons on the microwave, and the ding when it was done. Lastly when I ordered the #23 aka 3 piece whiting, 3 wings no dropping of anything in the grease. We pay n drive off. Look at the food n try it. Yeah...... generic boxed Mac n cheese, canned greens n cabbage, with you guessed it. Canned sweet potatoes. Oh and store bought cornbread (but that wasn't bad ). I don't care if it was an Asian person making my food, but when it's microwaved to heat up, and all the sides came from a can or boxed. I have an issue. Ps. I'd only rate this place a 2/10.

The Server was delightful, informative and knowledgeable. I wanted some good soul food Mac & cheese but it was the wrong week as they rotate their menu & offered Italian options, meatballs & pasta, grilled chicken wingettes, fried fish. I was a little depressed that there was no Mac and cheese but I decided to try the fish. It was a little pricey as there was 1 piece with a garlic dinner roll included for $9.00. I must admit that was the best fried fish I have had , fried & seasoned to perfection. The dinner roll was so tasty as well. I would have gladly made it a 5 star revue had they had Mac and Cheese. I will try again next time they have that option in rotation though. It is worth the price just for the taste and quality of the food.

Not fried too hard & the perfect amount of Hot Honey Sauce. The Whiting platter came with 2 sides (Mac & Cheese and Cabbage) The fish fried perfectly, but lacked flavor. The Cabbage was a tad bit salty but not bad. The Mac & Cheese was decent. It wasn't cheesy enough & somewhat dry. My last rating from a few years ago was 1 star. With my recent purchase I would give you guys a 3 Stars. For $19.00 I think the Fish platter should come with at least 3 pieces of Fish. My platter only came with 2 pieces of fish.

We ordered to go ribs, bbq chicken and sides-mac and cheese, baked beans, Cole slaw and potato salad. We also ordered the hush puppies. Overall, we like the food and would be back for more. The ribs were tender but a bit short on smoke. The chicken legs and were delicious with the meat falling from the bone but still moist. The hush puppies were tasty and not. heavy but I like them just a bit larger for a smaller crust to middle ratio. The Mac and cheese , as another Yelper has mentioned, was GREAT- the pasta was not overcooked, the sauce was smooth, and there were crunchy bits of topping. The Cole slaw was our least favorite, a bit too soupy and the beans were good but the beans themselves were a bit mushy. The best side for one of us was the potato salad which tasted like HIS mom's so of course that one topped the list. We did takeout but there was plenty of seating in the adjacent dining room.
