    a buffet with a variety of food items
    Grace H.

    This place got decent soul food. I got two lunch special fried wing and fried fish. I picked yellow rice, white rice collard green and candy yam. both sides were delicious and she added the sauce from oxtail in the rice so it would become more moist, what a good idea! The chicken wings and fried fish, ere all good . the lunch special came with a corn bread . The service was polite and fast . the sitting area looks clean and open . the lunch. Special is such a good deal - to fill up a stomach with chicken, meatloaf or fish for under $10 , not bad at all!

    My salty turkey wing & I wanted it so very badly! When the tip is inedible -.its a bust.

    We usually pick up from here for a soul food dinner after church or work every Sunday. Today's macaroni & cheese (y) was tasty & as someone once stated it can be too much so & The cabbage was perfectly steamed,l; now let's review my wings cooked in a mushroom gravy-keeping in mind, that soups & gravies tend to be high in sodium already & couple that with a Chef who is heavy with the salt box. In Jamaican runes, curries & seasonings are heavily used, so what happens when using domestic spices it can result to overpowering, over salted dishes. The hub noted this is not the 1-2 time as he & workers have ran into the "salt dilemma". We want to continue to support this establishment however, tossing $$$ meals or risking hypertension is not in the plan. I'm hoping someone convinces cooks to let the customers add salt if needed & just stick with their other delicious seasonings.

    If you're looking for a soul Food spot, I would definitely recommend spacious restaurant with a buffet style layout so service is quick choose to dine in or out & I definitely enjoyed my food. I had the baked rib platter and I also got a turkey wing platter. Yummmm

    Mmmmm a very good comfort food spot! Soo good! I met a few of my great coworkers at this spot saying we needed a mental break from work! This place helped us become stress freeee! The only issue I see is it could be a little bit cleaner, but still not bad. I ordered Mac-n-cheese, collard greens, white rice and oxtails...yum yum yum. You automatically get a cornbread muffin with every meal. I also ordered a side of yams with a lemonade. The lemonade was a little sweet for my liking. I almost ate myself into a food coma! Unfortunately I can't eat so heavy like this all the time but the very few times I want southern comfort food that have great flavor I will return!

    My vegetarian platter & yes all the meals  come with a mini corn muffin.

    My first time here & it was a nice restaurant with a down home southern feel. Plenty of soul food choices & the restaurant was very neat & clean. I ordered the vegetarian platter. Everything was good but the potatoes had no seasoning & they were homemade mashed potatoes just had no flavor.

Pivoted to the whole fried snapper. Was told about 8 minutes on the snapper. 15 minutes later, Im still waiting. They fix all your sides and then wait on the protein if it's not something that's pre-cooked. So my sides (mac & cheese/collards) were sitting for about 20 minutes before my snapper was cooked. The young lady at the register reassured me that the food is kept under a warmer in the kitchen while waiting on a protein. The warmer must be broken because it was lukewarm. As anticipated after sitting for 20+ minutes. A young lady that ordered about 4-5 people behind me got fried whole catfish. They were able to fry her catfish before my snapper. As someone that cooks Im not quite sure on the difference in cook/prep but here we are. She's out the door with her catfish. And Im STILL waiting on my snapper. 25 minutes and counting. And my sides are still sitting. Got my snapper and it was overcooked; dry, not flaky/moist as fish should be when cooked correctly. It seems the people of Tampa are desperate for soul food. Cause this ain't it.

My order took about 10 minutes but the wait was worth it. The original Yuppi Wings were hot, crispy and succulent. I'm sure the crunch shook the ground.

Basically it's your local corner store split with this wing establishment sharing the same space. It's in the middle of Ybor city #IYKYK that Ybor is a mixed crowd with chickens and roosters all over. I put in my order a 15 minute wait, no seating you have a choice of taking it home or some of the local bars let you bring your own food in. I end up ordering the popular wings with the yuppi sauce mixed in. Wasn't impressed, no seasoning no flavor unless you order the sauces, which Basically that is your seasoning. I will say the wings were cooked well. This is why I don't follow the hype. The hype up will get you a seasonal hype but then it's over like that. This establishment can try seasoning so you won't need the sauce as the lead of there wings. But from what I saw I give this establishment another 2 years till the next hype comes in. The corner store gimmick will soon be over.

Neither one of us had been here before but I saw it had very good reviews on Google. We both got the chicken dinner with different sides. He had the Mac and cheese and I had mashed potatoes since they were out of candied yams. We also both had yellow rice and collard greens. We also shared honey cornbread and hush puppies. Everything was VERY good!! There were a few downsides. We came on a Sunday evening and most of the food was sold out. The women who took our order said Sundays are also busy so we notated that for next time. The wait time is very long since the staff is limited. That day it looked like there were 2 or 3 people working. Lastly, I ordered a lemon poundcake and when I got home, it wasn't in the bag. I was pretty upset.
