"Best soul food I've had since leaving Chicago. The fried chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and the mac n cheese is the real baked kind. Portions are huge."
Denise M.Recent · Fried Chicken & Mac N Cheese
"The jerk seasoning has real heat and real flavor. Two sides with every plate means you leave full. Staff treated us like family the whole time."
Marcus T.Recent · Jerked Chicken
"Ordered the salmon tenders with candied yams and greens. Everything tasted like somebody's grandma made it. Already planning my next visit."
Alicia R.Recent · Fried Salmon Tenders
"Lamb chops were seasoned perfectly and cooked exactly how I asked. This is a hidden gem on Roosevelt, and the pink building is worth stopping for."
Jerome W.Recent · Lamb Chops
"Came for dinner, stayed for the banana pudding. Homemade, not too sweet, gone in about a minute. Great patio vibe too."
Tanya B.Recent · Banana Pudding
"They catered a 40-person office lunch and everything showed up hot and on time. Our team is still talking about the greens and cornbread."

"The gravy on those pork chops is unreal. Tender enough to cut with a fork and the rice soaked up every bit of it."
Keisha N.Recent · Smothered Pork Chops
"Fall-off-the-bone ribs with a sauce that has a little kick. I drove across town for these and I'd do it again tomorrow."

Monique H.Recent · Candied Yams
