    Mega Fish Platter (5 whiting filets, mac n cheese & string beans)
    Ashlye H.

    Is it bad that I found this restaurant off of another soul food restaurants review? If it is then I'm very happy to have found it to try them out! Ordered via the website and I liked that they show you the process of your food order and notify you promptly, keeping the anticipation low is great for me. It took 15min after submitting for the food to be ready and this was easy to locate. I ordered the Mega Fish Platter (5 whiting filets) with Mac n cheese & string beans, a kids roast chicken with Mac n cheese & candied yams, cornbread, large banana pudding & their lemonade. The amazing thing is that all of this food was $37. The food is pretty good and took me back to those after Sunday service (possibly 2nd service) food that the elders would prepare. My only let down was that the candied yams weren't candied and tasted like a regular baked potato with nothing on it. The Mega Fish Platter was enough for my husband & I to eat, the staff were friendly, the inside is cozy yet you're there to grub. I'll definitely be back especially to try their pound cake that I eyeballed in their dessert fridge.

    I really love Aunt Berta's for some delicious authentic soul food. The service is usually very friendly and kind. They take care of me every time I come in here. The home made drinks are delicious and the food is even better. I usually go with fried fish or fried chicken or fried fish with sides like mash potatoes, collard greens, cabbage or Mac and cheese and yams. It's all delicious. I love it so much. I eat here at least once a month if not more. And that's only because I have to pace myself otherwise I'd be eating here weekly. I don't usually stay in the restaurant and eat but they do have a homey energy inside the seating area in the restaurant. The overall atmosphere is family friendly and chill for the most part. It's always a lot of people ordering food in here because the food is delicious. I recommend ordering ahead of time if you're hungry because most of the food is made to order unless you're getting fried chicken or turkey legs or baked chicken. Some food they have ready to go but most food is made to order. Either way I LOVE this place! 10/10 would recommend.

    This place is the truth! It's a small spot with no inside seating. You stand in line and place your order and you receive your order hot!! This soul restaurant has good service. You may have to wait for the chicken since it's their biggest seller but it's worth the wait! The desserts are delish!!! The food is soooooooooooooooo good! The mac n cheese and fish was singing a song in my tummy because it was just that good!! This place is located on the corner. You can place an order for pick up as well. Don't forget to grab one of those delish pound or chocolate cake!!

    Everything was very good so close to home cooking. Only problem for ME is some of the food is prepared in advance. I personally would like fried fish just fried. Nevertheless the fish and pork chops were very good. I enjoyed the baked Mac and cheese but I got the last in the pan and it has a slight taste of being made with evaporated milk(I don't particularly care for this method) but it was good. The cabbage was tasty and not over cooked. The drawback is you have to pay for cornbread. Most soul food restaurants offer a small portion with the meal. But okay everyone is different! I ordered what they called 'Special Cornbread' it had cranberries and a hint of pineapple. Good but more like dessert. The meal I ordered was a great deal for $12.95 two entree items meat, fish, pork or poultry and two sides traditional soul food items. Overall a very good value. My server was nice although she had to work a very busy dining room alone. She was moving it, she got her exercise in this day! The dining room is small but sufficient, modestly decorated and clean. I will update the review once mom has tasted her food. I'll make a point to stop by again soon if that goes over well!

    Omg ! This place was wonderful lol, I was looking for some lunch while I was in the area this place popped up and the princes seemed to be pretty good so I decided to give it a shot. So glad it did that ! They told me they would bring my food out to me because I didn't have a mask on but after tasting that food I'll be sure to have a double mask on next time I go! The potato salad looked kinda weird but after that first bite I was a believer the Max was macin and that fish was fishing lol! I'll definitely be back to try some more of the food in the future God willing!

    I was feeling patriotic, so I decided on All-American Soul Food to honor my citizenship. Also, I'm about to hit a diet starting next week so I'm checking off things like fried chicken to satisfy my comfort food cravings before it's too late. I got here at dinner time on a week day and it was fairly busy. I had to wait a few minutes before I could order the 2-piece fried chicken special which came with two sides and corn bread. I chose the nicely buttered green beans along with the heavenly cheesy mac and cheese. I asked for white meat and got a small breast and a chicken wing. Don't expect huge chicken pieces. They weren't that large, but my god, every mouthful was pure delight. The breading was light, slightly salty, slightly peppery. Sides were two scoops worth for a serving. All in all, I was stuffed and didn't even touch the cornbread. They let me sit in the dining room, which luckily was fairly empty. Nice to have a table to sit down and enjoy the food. Miss Berta came around and asked how the meal was going to each of us, personally thanking us for stopping in and telling us to "come back now, sweetie."

    Let me start out with this, I reviewed other Yelp reviews and I'm convinced either I came on the wrong day or these Elite status reviewers aren't telling the truth at all! This place doesn't cook the food fresh, it appears to be cooked, stored, then reheated and sits in warmers! The only food prepared fresh is the fried fish, which is pretty good! However everything else is not fresh, and it is not good! The turkey wings appeared to be days old and just reheated! The greens weren't seasoned, yams not the best, mac & cheese I guess ok, I did enjoy the cabbage! However I ended up returning everything, even the cornbread was hard and old! If you're in need of something fast, then I'd say yes; however if you're looking for real down home, soul food, you'd be better off cooking it yourself!

    I/8 of the container is filled

    This place sucks. Small portions of unseasoned food- I bout a side of set of potato salad-... look- and the chicken was very bland

    I went to this black owned Soul Food restaurant on a lark with my cousin who wanted authentic…read moresouthern home cooking. We went in and were invited to sit in a brightly lit restaurant with plenty of seating and a varied menu to select from. The service was prompt and genuinely enjoyable. The Owner provided individual attention to the patrons & even reminded everyone to taste the food prior to adding any additional seasonings. Everything was great. The portions were generous and it was well worth the cost which was very reasonable night add. The lemonade was so good as well. The only thing I did not care for was the potato salad only because I don't prefer sugar in my salad. The beef ribs, the fried whiting, the Mac & cheese, the sweet potatoes, the collard greens were all divine. I will definitely be back for the Sunday Buffet so I can try some of the other items offered. I highly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking great food at a more than reasonable cost. Try it for yourself and see if you don't love it.

    I've wanted to try this place for years, but for a while they didn't have wings, so I never made it…read morethere. My spouse recently recommended it one night, and we finally decided to give it a try. At first, I thought the meal was a bit pricey, but I have to admit--it was definitely tasty and the portion size was solid. You get a good amount of food for what you pay for. I'll definitely be going back when I'm in the mood for some good fried chicken.

    Take out only place with some outdoor seating previously went by another name. I really enjoyed it…read more They were very busy making everything from scratch and the onion rings and smash burgers were excellent, though I think the burger was better than the rings.

    Burger runn Cheesesteak…read more I've been told repeatedly to try the cheesesteaks here. On a previous visit I had the burgers and I thought they were very good. Though at my visit today I discovered they use Martin's potato rolls for the burgers. The place was a former deli and is tiny. I was greeted at the door and they took my order. Cheesesteak fried onions provolone. My go to order. The floor is tiled and slippery and I almost fell several times. It was around 4:15 so I thought I beat the dinner rush but apparently everyone orders from here on DoorDash or Uber Eats. At least a dz orders were picked up while I was waiting. I thought the wait was a little long.... But I stood there waiting for my sandwich. Finally a woman from the back come up front to address a problem with a chicken order and asked what I was waiting for.... A cheesesteak I replied and the counter woman that took my order grabbed a bag that was sitting in the pickup pile and handed it to me Alex? She asked yes I replied. I took my sandwich and got into my truck. At a red light I reached over to feel the bag... it was Luke warm. I expected my sandwich to be piping hot. Ggggggrrrrrrr. That is why I ordered at the place but the nearly 30 minute wait with the undetermined amount of time it was on the to go counter will you get the picture. On my arrival at home I opened the sandwich and snapped a photo. At this point it was barely warm. I prepared it with ketchup, hot pepper hoagie spread and my last slices sweet horseradish dill pickles. The first bite was underwhelming. Barely warm and the roll which was supposed to be sarcone's tasted more like amoroso. Onions were diced into fine cubes and I prefer more than the tiny amount provided. Overall taste was good but because it was nearly cold hard to actually evaluate. The overall sandwich had enough meat and a good meat to bread ratio. I found no trace of fat or grizzle. Maybe if circumstances were better I would have been happier but it did not reach the hype.
