The yams come out a can taste like they ain't do anything but throw cinnamon on it. Never in my life had dry yams and they barely even a sweet it just got a crap ton of cinnamon. Next the mac & cheese. Lord have mercy. The mac & cheese had the texture of soggy cereal, flavorless, and greasy. Ribs dry as h*** with little blotches of barbecue sauce here and there. Look like they bought the pre-sauced pack straight out of Food Lion and just put it in the oven. I definitely try and support our businesses but Tru Soul you MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE!! It was bad enough. I had to take it to the Internet. I couldn't just tell a friend about this one.

The bus puppies can literally be a dish alone, the greens are just like my Pappy & GrannyB used to make them. We drive from outside of Richmond, VA at least 4 times a year to just let the delicious vinegar soaked pork melt in our mouths. And we're always taking several containers of pork and sides home with us. My Pappy grew up around here and I first had Ralph's at a family thing a few years after my GrannyB passed (my Pappy had been gone like 15+ years). My husband and I literally found out where my great aunts had the food catered from and we called in an order to go before we got back on 95 to head home. We've turned several family into Ralph's since. If the BBQ makes your tongue jump up and slap your brains loose.... That shit hits and you have to get more...

From the moment we walked in, the hostess made us feel right at home. Dr. Hankins was so warm and welcoming when she seated us, and just as kind when we were leaving at the end of our meal. Our waitress was wonderful too -- always smiling, attentive, and happy to help, checking on us often without ever being intrusive. And the food definitely delivered. Best of all, it passed the picky teenager test, which says a lot. My daughter ordered the small whiting platter and absolutely loved it. The fried fish was flavorful without being over-seasoned or salty, and it was fried perfectly for our taste. The fried shrimp were also very good, and my partner really enjoyed his fried oysters. Great service, delicious food, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. We'll definitely be back.

I really wanted to like Nana Morrison's in Cary because I had heard so much hype about it, but this…read morewas a huge disappointment for me. As an African American woman, soul food is more than just food to me. There's a certain authenticity and flavor I expect when I walk into a soul food restaurant. I ordered several items and after tasting everything, I honestly ended up throwing the entire meal away. I took a bite or spoonful of each item just to give everything a fair chance, and every time I moved on to the next thing, it was another disappointment. The mashed potatoes had a strange aftertaste that I couldn't get past. I don't know if it was the gravy or something else, but something tasted off. The barbecue ribs tasted more boiled than slow cooked and were completely drenched in sauce. The cabbage was overwhelmed with vinegar and lacked seasoning. The mac and cheese tasted more like overcooked noodles with cheese instead of flavorful baked mac and cheese. The cornbread was dry, and even the cake was dry. I will say the restaurant was clean and the employees were friendly, so I have no complaints there. My issue was with the food quality and value for the price. Spending around $80 for a meal like this did not feel worth it at all. Maybe other people love it, but based on my experience, I don't understand the hype. The food just did not taste authentic or well prepared to me. I wish I had stuck with my original plans and just gone to Mikey's Diner in Wilson, North Carolina instead. At least I would have left satisfied. For me, this wasn't worth the drive, wasn't worth the money, and I won't be returning.

The street situation precluded a few spots downtown, and since we weren't in the mood for our go-to taco place, we decided to head out to the Family Diner. The walk-in was awkward on our part- cash register or hot bar line first? A sweet call from the kitchen of "Y'all's first time?" got us headed in the right direction. Full disclaimer: I've been nostalgic for the southern cafeteria lately. While talking to some food industry friends last week, we realized there is something powerful about the food we all remember from K and W. And while Family Diner doesn't have a giant dining room or a 5-snake velvet rope line to get to the counter, it does take me back. Here's how we made our choices: the hot bar was a choice of three types of chicken- the baked and fried were tempting until the gentleman serving us says: "We can fry you fish to order. Flounder, trout, and catfish." The chicken got skipped for a plate of flounder (plentiful plate, btw), and a side of the Mac and cheese and cooked cabbage. The kid sampled the catfish plate, same sides. Sweet tea. And yes ma'am, I'd like the cornbread. Done. We sat down at a table in the main, cozy dining room. The first thing that I noticed: this place is clean- tidy, even. There was a super polite young man moving around and busing tables, tidying up unassumingly and doing it in a way that is lacking in some finer dining places I've been in recently. The food came out, piping hot. I used one of the malt vinegar packets to douse my flounder (a cafeteria habit) and dug in. The first bite was light and flaky, cooked perfectly. Nothing greasy-tasting, at all, just clean. The sides were great- nothing over seasoned, and like cooking at home, there was room for you to season things to your taste. Well played, Family Diner. The owner (I think? She was the one who guided us down the right path when we walked in) came out to make sure that we were happy, and yes ma'am, it's great, and holy cow, you just dropped this cornbread into the skillet and fried it? Yes, we will be back. It's unassuming, and it's just what the doctor ordered. It's a cafeteria, but it's clean and polite and makes you feel good that you ate there. It's soul food, but not just from an ethnic standpoint- it makes me happy and full and feel welcome and I'll be back.
