Sweet Potato Pie - Three piece chicken dark plate; mashed potatoes in gravy with the sweet potatoes casserole

The place is nice. The service is welcoming, but the food would be a choice if you didn't feel…read morelike cooking. I had the three piece dark chicken with the sweet potatoes casserole and mash potatoes with gravy. The mashed potatoes had quite a few lumps and everything kind of gave a powdery taste (gravy, casserole, and mashed potatoes). When I say powdery... I'm saying that it just wasn't giving "homemade". It's not intolerable but it's not what you look for when you go to a soulfood restaurant. I also wasn't a fan of the wait. We have some made to order items so it was understood about the 20 minute wait, but we didn't get our food until almost an hour after paying. The extra time waiting seemed to be due to fried green tomatoes not being made in tandem with the fried chicken. As a result, everything was luke warm by the time we got the food. It's truly sad because the flavor is definitely there. The texture, the powdery residual taste and the wait time leaves me at this place being a one time experience at the least and a, "if I had to" at the most.

The staff was very kind and welcoming. The food was so much better that I expected and it resolved…read moremy rather bad day. I ordered the catfish with a side of mac and cheese and green beans. The catfish is made to order, was perfectly crispy and well seasoned. Definitely top 3 catfish meals for me in the area. The mac and cheese was some of the best I have had. It was creamy and savory, it wasn't too fatty and had a firm texture. It was definitely the highlight of the meal. The green beans had a bit of a mushy texture but I really enjoyed regular green beans. The meal comes with a side or cornbread which was filling , fluffy and sweet. Fantastic soul food for me. The banana pudding was also delicious. You can also actually taste banana not just sugar. The people working there were honestly so kind and chill. They knew what to recommend and added to the dining experience. My only criticisms come with how some of the food is prepared for example the green been texture being on the mushy side is likely due to it being presented similarly to a buffet. I was also unable to have a whisky due to the bar being closed however it was 2pm on a weekday. Overall great experience

I was visiting a friend in Memphis and we went down to eat at Memphis BBQ in MS- I had the ribs and…read morethey were amazing- So much so that I've been craving to go back for four years now!!! I'm not big on "chains" restaurants- but when you've had the absolute best barbecue in your life (I'm 55) -and you still have the magnet on your fridge and you still think about it and crave it that says volumes!!!

I visited this spot because I couldn't figure out anywhere else to go to satisfy my picky colleague…read moreor my client. This is yet another DDD restaurant, but I didn't watch this particular episode and the menu did not give any indication on what Guy ordered during his visit. They serve pork rinds as a free app....which you can dip in their 2 sauces on the table, a sweet one and a bold one that's not that spicy. I ordered the half rack ribs, muddy, with turnip greens and red beans and rice with the latter recommended by our server. Ribs - pretty good sauce, tender, fall off the bone, some pieces were a tad dry, but this can be common with ribs, especially the smaller ends. Turnip greens - pretty standard Red beans and rice - pretty dang good for being in Mississippi. Ask for the hot sauce. Both my client and I really like this. Overall, this was a satisfying meal that we all enjoyed. It was nice seeing the articles and trophies the owner has accumulated over the years to make her the "most decorated female pitmaster in the US".

We had a really good experience at Grand Buffet! I feel like this buffet can be hit or miss, but…read moretoday was very fresh! I think I would have given them a 3.5 stars if you could give half stars. Monday-Friday they have a lunch buffet for adults from 11 am-3:30 pm for $14.70! This seems to be the cheapest price, but can also come on other days and times (photo attached with updated prices). You can also get a takeout box which they weigh to see how much it would cost you. We immediately got a seat and were able to get our food no problem! The restaurant was very busy and people really seemed to be enjoying coming. They do have a "wall of shame" when you first come in with people that have left the restaurant without paying for their food. I have never seen this before and find it interesting they screenshot their security cameras and print off photos of people to put on the wall! I hate they have had so many people leave without paying...just wanted to mention it since it was a shock to me the first time! The restrooms are very dark and not super clean. The water does get hot though! Overall the food was really good! The sushi wasn't super fresh tasting but other than that liked the other food.

Grand Buffet is a hit or miss. I want to like it every time I visit, but something is always off…read more The sushi is not always fresh. Some have been sitting for a while and it makes them dry. You can also tell this with the rest of the buffet tables. Some things are dry from sitting under the heat lamps. I also wish they would change things up. It's always the same when we've gone. The best part is the Mongolian and I feel it's not worth the buffet price to just get that.

"How the South does fast food!" That's the slogan and I'll be damned if this isn't the best…read moresouthern fast food anywhere around these parts! It's a brilliant concept really. It's a meat and three kind of place with many options of proteins and veggies to choose from. It's a larger and more diverse menu than you will find at any place that is quick like this. It's way nicer inside than any other fast food place, that's for sure. Great color scheme. Floor plan flows well. You can see where to access the bevs, condiments, and rest rooms easily. I personally like these the best in this order: Fried Fish Baked Wings Fried Pork Chop Pinto Beans Corn Cornbread Chicken & Dumplings Sweet Potato Casserole Mac & Cheese Mashed Potatoes They also have: Baked fish and chicken Greens Potato Salad Black Eye Peas Fried Okra Broccoli Casserole Fries Fried Broccoli and many more... Food flies out of the kitchen fast, I am not sure how they do it and keep it all so fresh! The people are super friendly and most helpful. Smiles on everyone's faces makes you know that they are happy and taken care of by management and the owners. I'll be back for sure! Enjoy my years of fried food pictures below! Tehehe '25 - 8/111

I heard a lot about this place, and I was intrigued enough to give it a try…read more I'd say, immediately upon entry you can feel the "family style" dining. This place has a warm and inviting feel, that makes it feel like home. Since I was little indecisive on what to opt for, I decided on two entrees. This included the jerk chicken Alfredo & the Catfish and grits. Immediately, I noticed how large the portions are (which is a plus). As it relates to both entrees, the catfish and grits was pretty decent. In my honest opinion the star was the perfectly seasoned and crisp fish (grits were ok) but, I would definitely order again. The jerk chicken Alfredo was quite tasty. It was perfectly seasoned and jammed packed with flavor. (I would only suggest an extra side of Alfredo, as I love a creamy Alfredo pasta. ) Not pictured, I ordered the Berry Me & Jolly Rancher juice. These were a much better and exclusive option instead of a traditional punch packed with sugar. All in all, I would definitely revisit Trap Fusion again.

I got the chicken lunch plate with 2 side and cornbread. The chicken was seasoned well but wayyy to big for my liking. I do not like huge hormone injected wings. And personally the side I got the candied yams and corn didn't have enough flavor. But it was eatable. I was expecting a home coooked meal type of vibe but this not what my granny or even my food taste like. But again it was just okay. Good for the price. The service was really good and quick.

Be what's worse, I wish that I could share these pics the way this food was sent. Who eats blackeyed peas and corn mixed as one dish. Inedible. If I could share these pics, there is no way they would have PRIDE in what they put out. Welp, 1 thing for sure, 2 for certain...This was first and my last visit to this establishment. I totally wasted $30 bucks and had to STILL reorder from a similar place. UGH
