Ordered my daughter the chicken nuggets and fries. Came with waffle fries, but they were fired so hard you would’ve thought they were pototato chips. My Catfish was bland, shrimp was about the only thing I ordered worth eating. Yams were a little too sweet. Okra had absolutely no seasoning.

I shared my breakfast with my lovely wife via video chat. She said it was very appealing to the eye. Add your desired SALT and/or PEPPER, not a lot for me. It was quite tasty as well, biscuits and gravy and pancakes and sausage. Can’t eat eggs and they’d substituted grits instead of the eggs. Very nice. In one of the best things of all they gave me the remote to the TV so I can watch whatever I wanted which was SportsCenter ESPN and catch up on last night’s. Super staff thank you for a nice brunch. Next time I’m here I will bring my wife let her enjoy the hospitality. Yes, I Always TIP, Thank you again

Ordered off of doordash and we were all HIGHLY disappointed. Nothing was seasoned fish was overcooked with breading falling off. Oxtails was tough as all out doors. Greens had no flavor. Try the soul food shack everything is always on point!

I’ve tried this place a few times and they’ve not ever disappointed me or the family. Although we can cook these same items at home it makes life so much easier when you find something close to home cooking. From smothered turkey wings, to smothered chicken also the rack a bbq ribs not to mention the tender oxtails with sides of dressing Mac&Cheese greens and or yams all was very great! & it beats driving to LA to get the same items any day. Dinner portions worth it!!!!

Good Good Good soul food. The service was exceptional. The food quality great and mighty good portions. Restaurant atmosphere was welcoming and “home-like,” as if you were at a cookout or casual sunday brunch. Besides that, no complaints…Will def be returning.

Food was HORRIBLE .The cooks wiping their face with the same gloves that they were serving food with. They sale items that are not on the menu. And they sale day old chicken that should be thrown out. When I got home and tasted my food, I called them and let them know that the food was horrible and that they need to get new chefs. I am even tempted to call the INSPECTORS on them. The place is a mess. I had to eat a pickle to get my acid build up in my stomach.
