    2nd order... no potatoe salad or potatoe salad container in the bag
    Sherri S.

    Food is always good, but you forgot one of my sides that should of came with the order. The container of potatoe salad was not in the bag. I live in Newark, so going back to the store was not an option. This order was called in so someone could have highlighted or made not of the potato salad needing to be added.

    Looking for soul food? You should definitely check out Aunt Berta's kitchen. The restaurant is currently only open for drive thru service right now. Pack your patience or wait until they open the inside of the restaurant. The food was delicious and my order was accurate. I was not anticipating it to be with the amount of people that were waiting in the drive thru. I waited over an hour. I got the fried wing platter with Mac and cheese and candied yams as my side. The wings were delicious. The Mac and cheese was well seasoned. The candied yams were not overly sweet. Overall I was pleased with the food. The staff were friendly and did not seemed to be stressed out with the long line. The slow service I hope will improve once they get up and running at full capacity. I don't think the novelty will wear off since this is a brand new restaurant that is new to New Castle, Delaware. The drive thru hours are 11-8 Wednesday-Sunday.

    Salisbury Steak

    Stopped in here because it had a good rating for the area and wanted to support a black owned business. Upon entering, greeted by friendly faces and a clean restaurant. The dessert and drink case immediately caught my eye. A variety of cheesecakes, pies, puddings & drinks. Bought 2 banana pudding cheesecake because from the looks of it I didn't want to share a slice with my husband. On to the food Mac and cheese- 2/5 a bit dry, not really cheesy and heavily seasoned. Not the typical Mac I'm used to. Candied Yams- 1/5 there was a taste that I couldn't stomach. A bit "perfumey" not sure of the word but the taste of when you accidentally taste your perfume after you spray it. I wasn't a fan. Turkey Wing- 4/5 good flavor and moist Salisbury steak- 5/5 veryyyyyy delicious! Both steak and gravy Banana Pudding Cheesecake- 1000/5 super super super yummy!!!!!!! Definitely banana flavor, creamy and light. Not overly sweet.

    I didn't feel like cooking but wanted a filling meal. I checked this place out on an early Sunday evening and was pleased by the variety of food they were still offering. I got the turkey wings, mash, greens, and yams. The cons: I was underwhelmed by the greens as there was no distinct flavoring and very bland (not Smokey, not tangy, nothing...). I am also glad I got the gravy on the side for my mash as it tasted like the pot it was made in was scorched at the bottom and indigestible. Pros: The turkey wings were to absolutely die for! Very juicy and flavorful! The yams were also a hit! Overall, I will be back, and will try some different sides. Their dessert collection also looked plentiful!

    Fried fish platter
    Kimberly A.

    Extremely happy this place opened in DE. AUTHENTIC soul food. Fried fish platter was 10/10. Turkey leg 10/10. So flavorful and moist. Sweet tea was very very sweet but that's exactly how I like it. Wait was a bit long but that is bc everything is made fresh and to order. I'm just upset I didn't grab any dessert. Definitely recommend and can't wait to return :)

    Quick grab and go cold sides

    The food was OKAY. Not the best in town. The food over cooked. It not worth the wait or the money.

    Man this place here!…read more Ok I just got to Wilmington and was looking for a spot to grab food. Saw this on YELP and figured I'd give it a shot. I mean I'm from the south and in in Wilmington, Delaware... Southern soul food should be aight at best! Man was I NOT disappointed! The ladies and gentlemen there put their WHOLE foot in it. Staff was very friendly too! Ordered the Turkey wings (without gravy), rice and beans, and cabbage with cornbread. Washed it down with some tea. Held heat well too as I had to drive back to my hotel to eat it. The only thing I'd say that they lack is a place to sit down and eat. Am I coming back? You bet your sweet ass I am. Update: Ok I went back again for lunch the next day. Threatened the ladies there with kidnapping if they keep making the food like they are. Get the Turkey or fried chicken wings! So much food that the kid had to sit on the box to close it. Yeah I'm going back tomorrow... Last edit.... Ok I went back everyday for food... Too much to type... just go there!

    Terrible experience. Waited over an hour for food that was flavorless and salty at the same time --…read morefish had zero seasoning, green beans were also salty and inedible. The staff didn't seem to care, and the place was dark and uninviting. Complete waste of time and money. I would suggest get some bright lights in the place, have some jazz lowly playing in the background. Also try smiling a bit.

    A cute little spot in Wilmington's Riverfront Market (a baby version of reading terminal market)…read more Food is made to order and was ready in about 10-15 mins. Fried whiting fish sandwich was $10 which included two slices of bread and four massive slices of whiting fried fish seasoned to perfection. If this sandwich had a deluxe option for some shredded lettuce + tomato slices I would gladly pay an extra $5. Crab ball platter comes with 2 sides (apple yams were already sold out at 12:15!!!). Crab balls are two to a platter order but they are 100% crab meat. Each crab ball weighs as much as a baseball, they are dense. Mac and cheese and seafood salad are both good sides. I was happy to have the cool seafood salad to pair with my fresh piping hot meal today.

    I found this place off of Instagram. Serena's soul food is located in the Wilmington River front…read moremarket. The best soul food in the city. The menu is very small, but the food is delicious. The platters come with two sides. On this visit I ordered the grab balls with Mac and cheese and yams. Now you only get two crab balls, but they were a nice size. The crab balls were filled with crab, there was no filler. The side portions were huge. The Mac and cheese was cooked to perfection. The yams were pretty sweet, but I prefer them that way. The location is only open from 12-5. If you are going on your lunch break, pack some patience because they got busy with orders fairly quickly. There is some seating available if you are ready to chow down right away. The whiting seemed like a popular platter that a lot of people were ordering. Definitely a spot to vist for some authentic soul food.
