Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"The chicken was great. Why is chicken so expensive. $90 for 50 wings. We did an order in advance. If you order over the phone YOU MUST PAY FIRST AND BRING THE ORIGINAL CREDIT CARD WITH YOU when you pick up."
"My fav "Soul Food" spot! I use " Door Dash or Uber Eats" to get My meal delivered which im seeing is $4 to $5 more than the in-store price, due to fees on the delivery app fee's. The food is always fresh & my " special instructions" are followed. Only had minor issues w/ my orders only " 2 times" ( Ex: Added gravy when asked for None... things like that. ), but meals are always fresh and petty good portions for the price. ( MY PERSONAL RECOMMENDATIONS ) Rice & Gravy ( Extra Gravy ) Collard Greens Dinner Platter- Salmon w/ 2 Sides Dinner Platter- Porkchops w/ 2 sides ( Ask for " no gravy on porkchops" if you DONT prefer gravy on your Porkchops . )"
"Staff are kind, 5 stars for that. The breading on the catfish was tasty, the greens were a good texture, fragrant, and tasty. Mac n Cheese was just ok. Very surprised to find such a nice place, dinner was great"
"This spot was amazing! My husband had the barbecue sauce oxtail with potato salad and collard greens and I ordered the pork chops with mac and cheese, cabbage and crinkle cut fries. I told him this spot is now my new comfort food joint. Will definitely be returning! Service and their prices are great as well!"
"The service was very good. And yes I would go back again. I would recommend this establishment if they are looking for good soul food. I had whiting with sweet potatoes, green beans and cornbread. Everything was great."
"Everything is always good here. The vibe, the staff and even the people waiting sit patiently knowing what they came for. My favs include the thick homestyle macaroni and cheese, the collard greens, steak fish, fried catfish and fried flounder. My favorite appetizer includes their crab sticks they are seasoned to perfection and fried hard enough to crunch but not hot enough to burn my mouth. I really appreciate the small extra miles the staff goes to ensure you return. Ask them to punch a hole in your giant half and half, they have scissors waiting at your request. Ask they to punch holes in your containers to prevent sogginess, they consider the request without a second thought. I’ve been coming here since I was a child, I’m 25 now and no longer live in the area. But whenever I can, I definitely don’t hesitate to grab a plate! This was one of my birthday plates."
"I've been here several times and the food is pretty good, This is not a place to get Mac and cheese , but the potato salad is on point with that hint of sweetness and the cabbage melts in your mouth with soulful flavors. I'm definitely addicted."
"Boiiiiii!!!!! So yall was just hiding this place? In MD? Just straight keeping secrets?? How could you??!! I was craving some fried catfish and boyyyyy did this place deliver. My catfish was a crispy, golden brown. I also got the Mac and cheese and rice and gravy. So freaking good!! I got that half and half tea and the carrot cake. This the food that make you dance and slap ya momma across the room. Now I will say...that wait aint nothing to laugh about. You gonna wait whether you order ahead or walk in. So, don't have no plans or you're gonna miss em. Either way I highly recommend them! Wish I had a place this back home."
