    We tried this restaurant Saturday after having driven past it many times on hwy 78. We decided on take out and I'm glad we did. The place is small and has seen better days. No ice machine, instead an employee scoops ice out of a cooler with a cup. Their health inspection score was 97 so that was comforting. But the two chairs in front of the counter looked so bad I stood up the entire time while waiting for our order which took longer than we were told it would. The cashier said 15-20 minutes once we placed our order. This was not a surprise because many of the items were listed as CTO (cooked to order). However we waited 30 minutes. We ordered wings and several sides (greens, mashed potatoes, yams, black eyed peas, okra, mac and cheese). They were out of squash. I enjoyed most of the food especially the fried chicken. The mashed potatoes were a little bland and the yams dry. The mac and cheese was just so so. The buffalo wings were also very good. All meals were around $10. Considering the location, pricing and certain items I like, I would maybe do take out again.

    Think twice.

    The 1 star is for the food and the lies they conjure... This picture was taken earlier this year, so I don't know what has changed since then, but we haven't been back since. This was our family's experience... We found this hole in the wall spot venturing to Hardee's, had a discussion about how Soul Food restaurants had gone down hill, and wanted to see if things were different up here in Lithonia. My first impression was they had No Soul since word about them hadn't spread to our neck of the woods, but my family was leaning towards giving them a chance, so in we went. Line was to the door, and upon entering, we weren't greeted by neither of the two female cashiers. Strike 1 in my book. We ordered to go, paid, sat and waited. We were gonna eat in to soak up the atmosphere, but it was riddled with loud music and a TV playing on what we thought was a giant flat screen, but was just a projector reflecting it onto the wall, giving you the impression. Very laughable! So we chose to go... I remember thee food not being anything to write home about, and the patrons all looked like they needed a wake up call to what real soul food (and Southern Hospitality) was. It's more than a crummy name and crappy service! Strike 2: The food. Again, this was a few months ago, so things were hazy, but it left no impression for me to come back there. Strike 3, was equivalent to how I wanted the food: OUT, of my stomach...and Soul for that matter. We haven't been back since, but their greens, Mac and cheese, black-eyed peas, and baked chicken... Please hold your saliva back... Was all bland, and tasted microwaved! That health department rating should've served as a much better greet, and wake up call. Don't trust their Google reviews, because some of those 5-star rated reviews match up with some of the names we overheard while waiting in that lobby. Names, we don't forget. Food (LoL), yes! Our search for good exquisite soul food ended when we realized we could cook this ish at home, so we know YOU, THE PEOPLE, can do the same!

    Salty Fried Chicken, MAC and Cheese, and Blacked Peas

    I definitely wouldn't recommend this place. The fried chicken was salty and the Mac and cheese is indescribable. The black peas were the best thing on my $14.99 Garbage Plate. I have been calling for the last 2 days to speak with owner for a refund. I visited the restaurant after walking up Sone Mountain. It's a mugger inconvenience to go back there for a refund which can be processed over the phone. Left both my email address and phone for a returned call. Nothing. Spoke with Tasha the next day, who was very nice. She said she would return my call by the end of business day. Called again and was told the owner has received my message. I will contact my financial institution and the BBB due to how poorly the owner has handled this situation. Would have been better off throwing my $$ out the window. I feel cheated and I want my $$ back ASAP

    Ehh the food is decent, but definitely not the best as far as soul food is concerned. I stopped here on the way home from work to avoid having to cook. The people were very sweet and the location is conveniently right off of 78. There's lots of parking. I had a salisbury steak plate with blaxk eyed peas and mav and cheese. I really enjoyed the steak and the black eyed peas were pretty good, but the mac and cheese was blah.

    Retaliation service..

    I have ordered from here about 3 times.. the food is good but not consistent. It is expense for the portions. I went in the store to see who the people are they made a mistake in communication but it was the way they were debating their error with me. I was not going to order fdom.them again..but I had a change of heart. This order reflects my delivery. They remembered me last time I ordered so I believe they purposely made my order look like this..

    Hair in the Mac and cheese, metal in the yams.

    See all
