    A lady told me about their fried chicken... It was great!! Great price for all the food. Candied yams and mustard greens were on point! I would go back and get something else next time I'm in town.

    Smothered chicken ( dark meat) with salad, greens, and corn bread

    Great food! There was a peach cobbler cake I had years ago - haven't had anything like it before or since.

    DC Eats - Friday special: turkey wing

    Friday turkey wings and dressing WOW it was the best ever!! I save some for later cause I had so…read moremuch. Thank you

    I truly love and support the owner, but I have to be honest--this place just isn't hitting for me…read more I gave it a second try hoping my experience would be better than the first time I visited the Plank Road at Harding location, but unfortunately, it wasn't. I ordered the Thursday special, and overall, the food lacked real flavor. The only seasoning that stood out was black pepper. At this point, I've come to realize that not everyone has the same standard when it comes to good food. The atmosphere had its positives--the building is nice and the space was cool--but the music was so loud that we couldn't comfortably hold a conversation, and the temperature was actually a bit too cold to fully enjoy dining in. The only items I genuinely enjoyed were the fountain drinks and the Hawaiian roll. The rest of the meal fell short. The mashed potatoes were overly saturated with gravy, and while the yams had potential, they needed more sweetness--brown sugar especially. I could taste hints of butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg, but it just didn't come together. Service-wise, the staff was polite but lacked warmth or personality. The interaction felt dry and uninviting. Even with my experience, the restaurant stayed busy, with customers continuing to come in. I really wish the food had matched my expectations, because I wanted to enjoy it--but it just wasn't for me.
