After seeing an Instagram video on this place today, I decided let’s try it out TODAY.
FOOD RATINGS:
1. Mac n Cheese, 10/10 old school reminds me of childhood.
2. Candied Yams, 10/10 exactly what you want from some good candied yams
3. Green Beans, 10/10 Sooooooo good! Flavored right!
4. Soul Cabbage, 8/10 When you get a bite with the green pepper, it’s much better.
5. Red Beans w/ White Rice 5/10 It’s okay. Not bad, not great, just right in the middle.

7. Fried Turkey Ribs, 8.5/10 Tender, seasoned and fried nicely
8. Fried Chicken Wings, 7.5/10 Good flavor, simple, just some good homemade fried chicken wings.
9. Pink Lemonade Kool Aid 10/10 PERFECTLY SWEETENED!
10. Whatever the Strawberry flavored drink is 9/10 different and delicious
Overall Experience
***PROS:
1. Food was worth the 40 mins it took for me to get there.
2. The woman that came from the back after my order was completed, was on it. She was about business and corrected the not so great initial impression I had of the place without her even knowing it.
3. The wait for the food was not long at all. Maybe 15 mins it took, if that.
4. I like that the Soul Food offerings are just enough but not too many options. There are 6 sides and 10 entrees to choose from.
5. The prices are fair. For the 3 meals, I spent $48.97 with tax. Smothered chicken was $16.99, Fried Chicken was $16.99, and Fried Turkey Ribs were $14.99.
The drinks were complimentary. They are $5 each.
***CONS:
1. The young man taking the order needs to be trained to have better customer service, but honestly most places today have sub par customer service, which is very disappointing.
2. The floor was stickier than any floor I’ve ever stepped on in my life, literally. 🤣 And it was actually a Wet Floor sign up. What I found out later was that the young man at the register didn’t mop up a spill correctly, and just spread it. When the woman came from the back, I demonstrated how sticky the floor was, and she IMMEDIATELY got him to go get some hot soapy water and come out to mop it up correctly. AND HE DID, EXPEDITIOUSLY. 😆
3. 🗣️WE NEED YOU GUYS TO GET A WEBSITE FOR THE SOUL FOOD PART, PLUS ADD A MENU TO THE PHOTOS ON GOOGLE MAPS AS WELL. The Instagram videos caught my attention, but when looking you up on here or the website, the soul food aspect is not yet represented.
4. Even though the space is small, you really could set a vibe with a little bit of decor and music. You guys only need to make a few tweaks to be a really popping spot for some good Soul Food takeout.
So overall score, I would give this place a 8/10. I will definitely make that drive again for the food and the drinks.
