R C's Southern Cooking - Fried Chicken Whole Wings with Mac and cheese and Steamed Cabbage- very tasty

Its honestly insane that I've been coming here since the beginning and have never taken the time to…read morewrite a review. I remember the first time I walked in with my bestie. RC had approached her with a flier at a gas station, informing her that his restaurant had just opened up. Anyway, I'm ordering my meal, the same meal I always get each time I go. Fried fish (whiting), collards and the baked beans (unmatched). And he goes, "What would you like to drink?".... I'm like, "What do you have?" (Assuming the usual. Sweet tea. Lemonade... I was probably gonna go with sweet tea. ) He lists sweet tea of course, and then hes like, "Kool-Aid, coke, sprite" - IM LIKE WAIT. DID YOU SAID KOOL-AID?......... He's like, "Yeah??..." Im like, "what flavor???.... "Purple?...." I had never heard of that at a restaurant, and quiet frankly, that's all I needed to know. At this point, I literally go nowhere else for soul food. Also, RC is amazing. Really good guy, and his team offer the best service as well. A job well done, always.

I tried RC's today with my parents. We spoke to the owners, a lovely family. Some of the food is…read moreserved buffet style and the rest comes from the back kitchen. I tried so many things. My recommendation would be the baked chicken, cabbage, yams, and sweet potato pie. The ice tea is a must have. Kool aid and coke products are also available. The parking lot is large. So parking won't be a problem. But the inside is small so you will probably want to take the food to go. The menu changes from the week to the weekend with Sunday being soul food day. I will be back to try jerk turkey and meatloaf. Maybe next Sunday.

Had lunch today (Nov 25,2023) at Johnboy's on Canton Rd, Marietta. What a bargain! Two people,…read moreall you can eat, never-ending sweet tea for about $25. The servers are sweet and efficient. Lots of close-up free parking. And ahhh...the food: My strategy at all-you-can-eat buffets is this: for the first plate, I just take one bite-sized serving of each item that looks good. Then for the second plate, I go back and get more of my favorites, the items that tasted the best. Then the third plate I try the items I didn't try, the things that maybe didn't "look good" or whatever. Cornbread: savory, southern style (not the sweet yankee corn cake you get at other places) Collard Greens: seasoned southern style, from fresh, not canned. Beef tips: tender chunks in gravy, with white rice or mashed potatoes, your choice. Baked chicken: tender, juicy, with carrots and onions. BBQ chicken: on the bone, tender, juicy, a little bit spicy. Cabbage: lightly seasoned, tender Salad: iceberg or romaine lettuce, sweet beets, olives, croutons, tomatoes, grated cheese, and lots of other choices. Spaghetti: good, but not as good as Frankie's (Amazing Italian Restaurant across the street) Sweet Potato: candied, with cinnamon. Side dish or dessert. Peach cobbler: yummy! The crust was soooo good. Sweet tea: included in price. I get half sweet, half unsweet, no ice. And the server mixed it perfectly. I'll post a photo of their weekly menu. There are daily staples for every day, then weekly specials. The restroom was clean.

Not fresh at first, but decent if you push for it…read more I was pretty disappointed with how long the chicken and chicken livers had clearly been sitting out. When I arrived, I grabbed a piece of chicken and it was already cold, so I decided to wait for them to bring out a fresh batch. Same thing with the chicken livers: cold and not refreshed the entire time we were eating. Near the end of the meal, I finally asked if they were planning to put out fresh chicken. I explained that I tried it when I got there (about 30 minutes earlier) and it was cold, and nothing had been replaced. The staff member said she could start working on some, so I waited. About 12 to 15 minutes later, they did bring out fresh chicken and fresh chicken livers, and honestly, when it's fresh it's actually pretty good. The mashed potatoes were another issue. They had a thick, crusty layer on top, and it looked like they dumped the old, dried-out potatoes from the previous pan over the fresh batch. I had to scrape off the crusty topping just to get to the fresh potatoes underneath. Overall, the food itself isn't terrible. The bigger problem is the way it's being handled. It felt like they were more focused on cutting costs and stretching old food than keeping the buffet fresh and consistent. My advice: if something you want looks like it's been sitting out too long, say something early before you sit down. If you wait, you may never see fresh food brought out.

Popped in last week for a sit down meal. Upon entering, we were greeted by the waitstaff and was…read moreable to choose our seating. The menu selection offers a variety of choices. However, keep in mind that some items may not be available (depending on vendor availability due to tariffs). Outside of that, the food was definitely made with love. We were able to meet the owner who was very personable and love meeting his customers. The inside is very open and spacious. Plenty of TVs around the restaurant to keep you entertained. My food pic is from my to-go order that was placed (hush puppies did not come with the plate, they were ordered as a side item). The food is seasoned very well and will have you curling on the couch for an afternoon nap. Stop second guessing and head on over to Sweeties Crab Shack. Get some of this good food and keep supporting this small business.

Had lunch here today. It was an awesome experience. Do you see the sandwich in this picture. OMG!…read moreit was seasoned well and cooked to perfection . Can wait to return to try the whole catfish. Don't get it twisted if you don't like catfish...NO PROBLEM!! They have a variety types of fish. There is plenty other seafood items. The collard greens was fresh(not canned) and seasoned like our grandmother would cook them. I'm not a Mac-n-cheese fan but I enjoyed it here at Sweetie's. Ambiance was very warm and welcoming. Enjoyed old school music I hadn't heard in a while. It would be very disrespectful not to mention the very handsome and well respectful young man that provided service. He was very customer oriented, warm and welcoming. Always greeting with a smile when returning to check on me. I give this establishment a 5 star epic rating. Will revist again very very soon. Ps: Don't forget the desserts. I had the Strawberry Crunch...DELICIOUSLY and very moist!!! Sorry I forgot to snap photo before I ate it
