Our family has tried this place twice. The food can be good but the service and amount of time it takes to get the food is very bad. The first time we had the young daughter as our waitress which did not go well. We were hoping things improved since our last visit but it didn’t. Definitely do not get a burger from here. The fried chicken, okra and oxtails are excellent. Maybe just stick to take out.

If I could choose more than 5 stars I would. I don’t usually take the time to write restaurant reviews but for Geneva’s I couldn’t hold back. I ordered the Fried Chicken with Macaroni & Cheese and Collard Greens. They provided a small skillet of wonderfully moist and perfectly sweetened cornbread. Once food came and upon first bite the masterfully seasoned macaroni & cheese, delightfully tasty collard greens with large chunks of what I think was smoked ham hocks along with the seasoned crispy chicken deserved this generously portioned meal top honors. Give Geneva’s clean, comforting and classy restaurant along with their first class Southern Hospitality staff, atmosphere and live music a chance; you will not be disappointed!

Very casual dining. A large bar (unfortunately they don’t have their liquor license yet).

Couldn’t wait to get home, and write this review. The food was that good! Delighted to have such good food in the neighborhood. My husband had jerk chicken, collards and rice & gravy. I had whiting, candied yams and potato salad. All delicious and freshly made, by someone who knows how to cook. Good service, friendly service, live music by Smooth Sounds, Gus Neal, made it a great experience. I’m looking forward to becoming a regular!

Wonderful. The staff was very friendly. I went on a day they were closed due to a catering event they had later on that day & the man & young lady in the back STILL made me some food separately. Wonderful customer service I will be eating there again today. Oh I never even mentioned the food… AMAZING! I had the smothered turkey wings, collard greens & potato salad

I’ve been Jonesing for ribs, and most barbecue around here is dried up and not that flavorful.

Stopped by with my nephew to do some homework and immediately felt at home. This restaurant serves more than great food with LARGE portions at an insanely affordable price – they provide an environment that is welcoming and friendly. The chef greeted our table and we were able to thank him for our meal. He even gave us dessert! I cannot say enough nice things. After a long day THIS is the place you’ll want to come to! Will definitely be back!

So here’s the thing: I try and always be fair but this was a ROUGH experience. I am not clear if this is normal but it does seem to happen to others as I read the other reviews. We went here on a Friday night which should be A game night but it seemed that the team was having an off night. Number one, the male chef seemed to be really stressed out speaking to his one employee in an extremely gruff and demeaning nature. I know nothing of the politics or relationships here but I kind of shouldn’t have to when I eat. There was some swearing and rough language used all around by this gentleman and for me it was extremely off putting. Second, we were there FOREVER. Nearly 90-100 minutes with maybe 15 mins of that after the food was delivered. We sat at the bar which the chef guy was using as a prep area for things like raw fish. The kitchen area looked a crazy mess when we arrived – maybe they had just finished a catering event? The food was sadly not worth the wait since my Mac and cheese was very fresh out of the microwave and the jerk chicken was sort of off-thought it was only BBQ chicken. I asked about this and the response was that it was definitely jerk chicken. The chef also stepped up in a seemingly friendly way but I sure wasn’t going to question the food after I saw his treatment of staff. I ate the part that wasn’t too microwavey and we closed our check. The waitress was nice enough but I felt sorry for her having to manage so many things by herself as the place slowly filled up. Also- dude on sax was great but he definitely didn’t need his mic setup in such a small space but I repeat he was excellent. Wife has done takeout and it has been okay previously. Sad to say I don’t think I will be back.

OMG!!! I am so excited to know this place is so close to home. My family and I are so tired of having to drive far to get good soul food. My review is just on the name of the business at this time. I didn’t think that they would be open so soon. I just saw the sign go up maybe a week ago? I’m going to check this place out by the weekend. I will come back with more. And maybe some decor pictures.
