The food was so good. I had the turkey wings with Mac and cheese and green beans. The plate was huge and definitely worth the price. The only complaint is the green beans were a bit salty for my taste and they should consider different plates for carry out, the gravy was everywhere. Other than that it was delicious, service was timely and friendly.

Went on a Sunday because I was craving some soul food.I had 4 pieces of fried chicken only one was seasoned. Mac and cheese was ok and yams were extremely stringy. Dressing was good. Restaurant was clean service was good.

I hate to be this person, but I’m highly unsatisfied. I just moved here 2 days ago & I passed by this place my first day & I was so eager to try it. I ordered some food today, & after I did something told me to read the reviews.. if I had seen the reviews before I ordered, I wouldn’t have ordered. First off, my food came messy. My gravy was EVERYWHERE! The turkey legs seemed to look like it’s on steroids.. I have 2 different brands of green beans.. & not to mention I didn’t receive my peach cobbler that I ordered. The turkey wings could’ve definitely been cooked longer.. this was not a great experience. I called twice & left a message.. no answer. Definitely won’t be getting my service again, it only takes one time with me.

Had high hopes. Really did. You get 3 sides and corn bread with your meal! Sweet tea and sweetened kool-aid were amazing! Best sweet tea I’ve had in a hot minute! Mac n cheese was phenomenal!! BUT I got rancid, moldy corn bread but my bf got good corn bread(?) regardless we avoided both corn breads which both, by the way, were just normal ol cornbread. Collard greens, rice, mashed potatoes were all “just fine”. Chicken wings and the pork chops were both okay. Tons and tons of gravy. Just felt like it was old food. Service was quick- too quick. Like came out a minute after sitting down when it was empty quick. Beautiful artwork though!

Food was not good at all. I spent over $40 and we didn’t eat it. Expected better based on the name. Hope you guys can take the feedback and improve. Wishing this business the best.

The food was horrible. The porkchops were tough as nails, rice and gravy no flavor and the rice was gummy. Cornbread was horrible and very very dense. The mashed potatoes had no flavor an the greens tasted like water and was still hard. This was the worst I’ve ever tasted.

Alfredas long waited reopening is very appreciated. Fear not the food remains delicious and full of flavor. The ox tails dinner weighed about 20 pounds – full of tender tails, rice, green beans, all covered in a rich gravy, silky smooth cornbread dressing and mound of slightly sweet cornbread. However, the impact of the pandemic is obvious. It is now a TO GO only restaurant. Also the food is no longer proudly displayed in the steam tables, now the various food items are pictured on a video screen. The new reality for sure. Still good food, just don’t eat it here.

Line wasn’t bad they got orders out quickly I noticed cashier kept calling out food by order number however never actually gave us(the customers)our order number when we paid also only 1 person on register. The sweet potatoes tasted canned oxtails were seasoned but had a lot of fat on them gravy had no flavor dressing had corn in it no thank you(never experienced that before)pork chops had no taste,cornbread was good,cabbage decent.Pricing is fair!Most likely will not return.

I actually didn’t go for myself, but got a pickup order for a family member. I’d seen the restaurant for years, but since I don’t eat soul food, had no reason to go in. It’s was everything I expected. Please know it a smaller version of a Luby’s cafeteria. Interestingly, there are no menus nor takeaway menus. You have to view it online or look at the one menu in a plastic stand. Also know, it’s if you complain they move slower. You have very little control, the staff does what that do at one speed. The food looked appetizing, but still not my speed. It was a time warp being taken back to a southern soul food restaurant.
