“If you like baked chicken, you will love theirs”
Flavor is there. Half of it was cold and I was there when I ordered it (they’ll get better).
I'm updating my review. I walked in ordered 3 sides and they were very good.
I was so disappointed in my dinner 😠.

Oh….my god. I just got a little sample plate that had red beans and rice, black eyed peas, a baby back rib, a fried chicken leg, and a baked cajun chicken thigh. YALL. This Georgia boy feels back at home. The peas were seasoned so well it didn’t need the hot sauce. Red beans and rice was also well seasoned. The fried chicken was HOT and CRUNCHY. Do not even get me started on the rib, I crashed out when the bone fell off. And the chicken thigh, juicy and so spicy. DO NOT PASS THIS JOINT UP.

“Some of the best fried catfish, spaghetti, and greens I’ve had outside my mama’s house and my mama can COOK cook.”
Some of the best fried catfish, spaghetti, and greens I’ve had outside my mama’s house and my mama can COOK cook. The fish was fried to perfection, the greens were seasoned and tender, and I couldn’t resist eating it in my car 😅. I’m not sure if they only use their restaurant space for events but it was empty. They had plenty of seating though, and bar, and a DJ booth so I can imagine a wedding reception or a party would be NICE.

They are still in the first stages of opening so I'm going to go again. The best soul food Mac n cheese from a restaurant. Took a while due to cooking. Hopefully it will get better. Supposed to have karaoke after April!

“I'm updating my review.”
I'm updating my review. I walked in ordered 3 sides and they were very good. My order came to 16.46 and I wrote down a tip for 3.54 making it an even 20. Mind you I did not dine in. Some kind of way my tip was altered to 35.40!!!! Making the bill 51.86! 16.46+35.40. Why would that happen?? If you come here bring cash although I liked the food I may not return.

“I made an order of the 2 piece with Mac and cheese and a side of candied yams.”
I made an order of the 2 piece with Mac and cheese and a side of candied yams. Instead I received spaghetti and spinach. Now who THE HELL would want a combination like that?? Instead of doing the right thing like calling and letting me know they were out of something or just simply refunding me. It became a sloppy substitute for greed.

When I tell you try the catfish and collard greens.... Believe me, it's worth your time. Decent prices and the bartender was very communicative and good at her job.
