    Came from Sacramento to the aquarium and looking for a good southern food to eat after the tour and we came here to Deja Blue The service was really amazing! Mr Derryl was so welcoming and the staff was so friendly. Food turned out great and they had live band! Definitely coming back here just for the food and vibe!!

    Coastal jazz and straight talent good music andsoul food . The ambiance is a juke joint that has a hint of a speak easy and a little bar that displays local talent quality treats when you're not expecting to hear the local talent. The service was prompt and very quick we were served and our order was placed promptly. The music is loud and soulful and was a pleasure to hear and the food looked and the food was hot and tasty. The food had the patrons happy and they displayed the silent satisfaction when your eating with your eyes and eat soul food that gives satisfaction. The crowd seemed like they had a good energy and enjoyed the music and food. And drinks

    We came in to try their new weekend all you can eat breakfast/brunch. They weren't quite ready when we got there at 9, still setting out a few things so we grabbed some juice and waited a couple of minutes. We tried everything and the 2 things that stood out for us was their grits, which were excellent! Cheesy and creamy. Also they have great sausage gravy for their biscuits and gravy. Everyone there was friendly and welcoming, especially the owner Darryl! He was telling us about his plans with his new brunch, he made the grits. Its a great deal at only 20.00 per person, we'll be back! Oh, must like music as they have a DJ during brunch.

    Tasty but too pricey! The flavor was great, but the portion was a little small for the price. Still, a good experience overall.

    Great good, music and excellent service. We will for sure be back. There is nothing like a good southern meal! It was on point!

    Not bad but could be juicier! The crust was excellent, but the chicken inside was a little dry. Service was quick, though!

    Could use a little less oil! The chicken had great flavor, but it was greasier than I prefer. A bit less oil and it'd be perfect.

    Food was solid and the vibe was nice, but the service really missed the mark. It wasn't that busy,,…read moreyet there were no waiters around for long stretches, and the lady working the checkout/ drink fountain was surprisingly rude and an awful attitude Also, tipping in advance through the app doesn't help, good service can be easily forgotten when the staff knows the tip is already locked in. Overall, still a good spot, but the service needs attention.

    Best BBQ by far in the Bay!…read more Ribs.. on point Collard Greens.. on point Corn bread.. yumm (but they can be a little bigger) Mac n cheese.. great portion (could be a little more creamier) we also ordered the banana pudding, which is super yummy. We had the seafood gumbo, not too spicy, but spicy enough and it was good with big portions of seafood and sausage with a scoop of rice over it. Ordering was easy we scanned a barcode put in our order and got our food within 10 minutes. Great customer service very clean and while we were eating, we could see that the employees put a lot of care into cleaning the tables and seats. Plenty of parking in back very spacious. They have overhead fans, but no need to turn them on because the restaurant was cool and airy not stuffy or hot. The waiters or servers always checked up on us to make sure that we were OK and if we needed anything else. This restaurant knows what they're doing! Added to one of my fav spots!

    Loved the food and vibe!! I just ordered the cheapest thing I could find on their menu to fill me…read moreup and it did! The lady who probably owns or is the head manager there is super nice! I got the loaded nacho fries/chips and yeah if didn't disappoint :) P.S the loaded nachos was like $12! $6 if you go during happy time (for the half portion) And the portion for the 12 dollar one imo was pretty good and that was half of the original portion but I think the original size is over 20 bucks so yeah the 12 dollar half portion size was good enough for me.

    Man oh man was this place firing on all cylinders!! We had never been to San Jose & didn't really…read moreexpect much outta their Soulfood. Boy, Was I wrong!! We traveled up from Long Beach, Ca for a quick weekend get away. I ordered the fried fish, greens w red beans. My nephew ordered the brisket plate, yams w Mac & cheese.... EVERY THING WAS SEASONED & cooked to perfection!! I was really amazed at how good the food was! My fish had the perfect amount of cornmeal ratio w that perfect crunch! My nephews brisket was tender & smoked just right! I mean..... GEEEEEEZZ!! They didn't miss! Cornbread was dang'there my dessert! Listen! When I come back to the Bay Area.... (YES!! San Jose IS PART OF THE BAY AREA!! ) I will definitely slide back through those doors!!
