    What a great pit stop on the way home from the beach. Friendly service Food was comforting and delicious It felt very nostalgic, the diners I ate at when I was young. Lots of locals and families!! Wish I could have tried the lunch menu too. It looked yummy. Prices were not bad at all.

    Walked into Dee's Diner in Goldsboro, NC, I did not know what to expect. Of course, this was my first dinning experience. The restaurant reminded me of a cafeteria without the buffet. There were weekday specials with other options on the menu. My meal consisted of the Wednesday's special: Baby Back Ribs (pork) served with yam soufflé and tossed salad along with a dress of sweet tea. The ribs were extremely tender and tasty; the yam soufflé could have been a little hotter and sweeter as well as some of the sweet potatoes could have been mashed up more; the salad tasted good. My strawberry cake was amazing. Overall, my dinning experience is good. I would visit again.

    A filling vegetable soup with a classic grilled cheese sandwich was a perfect meal on a cold night! Friendly service!

    Great fresh sould food The place was ssooo clean…read more Staff was soo great and welcoming Me qnd husband will be back

    Finally got to try Nana Morrison's Soul Food in Cary! The restaurant itself is a pretty large…read moreestablishment with plenty of seating inside, plus a covered outdoor area that looks like it has garage-style doors they can open up when the weather is nice. Definitely a cool setup! I went around lunchtime and there was no wait at all to order. I decided on the fried pork chop, which I didn't realize was a made-to-order meal. I expected a little bit of a wait because of that, but I was honestly shocked when it took about 25 minutes to get my food. My friend had already finished her smothered chicken by the time mine came out Thankfully, her chicken was VERY good because I definitely stole a few bites while I waited! As far as my meal, I think next time I'd order something that's already cooked and ready to go and probably switch up my sides. The mac and cheese and yams weren't quite as good as I was hoping for, and the cornbread muffins were pretty dry and probably my least favorite part of the meal. Now the sweet tea?? SWWWWWWWEEEEET! They definitely understood the assignment on the Southern sweet tea! Overall, I'd give Nana Morrison's another try. There were enough things on the menu that looked good, and after tasting my friend's smothered chicken, I know there are definitely some winners. Next time I'm skipping the made-to-order wait and trying a different combination of sides!

    Southern Harvest Soul Food - 3 out of 5 stars…read more I hate to be the guy who leaves bad reviews, especially after giving a place multiple chances, but this was unfortunately the last straw for me. I drove nearly an hour to get to this restaurant, excited to try the oxtails. Upon arrival, I was told they were no longer being served because they were out. This marks the third time I've driven there specifically for oxtails and was unable to get them due to being out of stock. This wasn't late in the afternoon either--I arrived right at lunch opening. I know what some of you are thinking: why not call ahead? You're absolutely right. That mistake is on me, and I've definitely learned that lesson. On a previous visit, I tried the shrimp and grits, and I'll give credit where it's due--they were actually phenomenal and easily the best thing I've had there. Unfortunately, my other experiences haven't matched that quality. The last time I visited, I settled for the brisket burrito. While sweet and savory can work together, this one was overwhelmingly sweet and just didn't hit the mark. I also asked for a Diet Coke and was told they only had Sprite, regular Coke, and water, which was surprising. My wife ordered the biscuits and gravy, which had almost no flavor. For a southern soul food restaurant, that was pretty disappointing. I don't plan on coming back. I'm not mad--just disappointed. I hope this review helps others avoid making a long drive expecting a specific dish only to find out it's unavailable.
