Look, i've been following Saud for the last few years on IG. As soon as we decided that we were…read morecoming to the East Coast it was a MUST that I come check her out. Listen, there was nothing disappointing about the experience. We were able to check her out at her new location at the fresh grocer, which was great. My family is from Louisiana and so I am spoiled by my grandma's cooking and let me tell you Ms.Saud's yams, fried fish and seafood salad are easily a highlight of our East Coast trip for me and all of my friends! THEM YAMS THO

Wow! I became aware of this restaurant, because one of my…read moredaughters said she wanted to visit this eatery during a planned trip to Philadelphia. I read reviews and they were somewhat mixed, but I put my faith in the Elites, who were on point. I ordered the fried fish, mac and cheese, and candied yams. The portions were enormous and more than I could eat alone. My daughter ordered the same sides, but had the bbq chicken bites, and an extra side of seafood salad. My fish was not greasy at all, and the cornmeal crust was light and crispy. It wasn't over seasoned and was delicious. The cinnamon and nutmeg in the candied yams were well balanced and reminiscent of a southern Thanksgiving dinner... a little sweet, but yummy nonetheless. The macaroni and cheese was also as Thanksgiving worthy and beyond. I tasted a chicken bite, and wished I had ordered those too... my eyes are truly bigger than my stomach lol. I liked the seafood salad, but if I lived in Philly, I would order it to accompany a great big mixed green salad. It holds its own and for me, doesn't need to be a side dish. It was an honor to visit Ms. Saud's restaurant, and contribute to her mission

The potato salad is good. The crab sticks are always good! You can not beat the price!! And it's a hardy serving of whatever you order. 2 ppl for under $20. And if you add 2 drinks and an app it's only $26. That's the top I ever paid with delivery!! I really give it 5 stars because they deserve it. Their so nice as well.

While going to Philly for a night out we wanted Soul food but didn't have time to sit down and eat…read more So we googled soul food. This place popped up and since it was 10mins away from Helium comedy club we went. Upon entering I noticed it was an Asian lady in there. Yeah first red flag. Second after ordering we heard buttons on the microwave, and the ding when it was done. Lastly when I ordered the #23 aka 3 piece whiting, 3 wings no dropping of anything in the grease. We pay n drive off. Look at the food n try it. Yeah...... generic boxed Mac n cheese, canned greens n cabbage, with you guessed it. Canned sweet potatoes. Oh and store bought cornbread (but that wasn't bad ). I don't care if it was an Asian person making my food, but when it's microwaved to heat up, and all the sides came from a can or boxed. I have an issue. Ps. I'd only rate this place a 2/10.

Omg!!! I threw all caution to the wind! My daughter came home with leftovers from this place. After…read moregetting just a taste of the mashed sweet potatoes and Mac and cheese, that made me a bit jealous(because I throw down on my own Mac and cheese), I knew I had to visit here. (And even though my daughter loves me dearly, she would not allow me even a wing tip of that delicious, golden fried chicken she had leftover.) So being an independent woman, I asked her to drive me there one day. Though the area is going through gentrification,some older neighborhood establishments remain. And this is one. It's a small restaurant with seating for maybe 10-15. There are a numerous amount of clicks on the wall, in various styles. It's very clean and orderly. The kitchen is customer facing and the grill was the cleanest grill I've ever seen. The woman who was the cook and the cashier was very friendly and hospitable. I ordered the wings,Mac and cheese and yams. They were out of okra and Lima beans because I'd have surely ordered those. She put the piping hot food in a to go container but I plopped my butt down and got to eating because the smell of the food wouldn't allow me to wait. (Of course I shared with my daughter because she's my child.) It's a wonder I didn't burn myself. It was piping hot. Everything EVERYTHING was cooked to perfection. The crispiness of the chicken was amazing The yams the yams!!! And the Mac and cheese once again made me a bit jealous. No extra seasoning needed for any of the food. Hog heaven. Oh and there was also cornbread, which I did take to go and is waiting for me for breakfast.

I must say from looking at the photos and seeing the price I already knew my food was going to be…read moresemi nasty. Once I pulled up & seen where it was I paid for my food. Went next door to Wingstop & ordered cuz I knew I wasn't gone want it last night. Why did I get it knowing it wasn't going to be good ? Well to review it and try. I've been looking for a fish & wing spot for a while and it's just what I was craving. The greens were horrible. Had a weird taste to it. You can tell it's not our people who had hand in making those greens. You can just TELL! Mac & cheese looked bad but I ended up taking it home and I dressed it up with some more seasonings and I ate every noodle so I guess it was coo after I did my thang with a lil ground mustard, smoked paparika, Morton's all purpose seasoning the best blue top one & then a lil slap yo mama! I also added honey and butter to the corn bread and I put that in my air fryer along with the fish pieces. Put it on a broil and it gave it a crispy texture I love (fish) cornbread wasn't right without the honey and butter I woulda threw it away if I wasn't at home. I gave it 3 stars because for the price & portion. Plus it's not fast food really so you really can't go wrong. I tore the chicken and the fish up. Though it wasn't good, it was edible and I would order it again. Never will touch them greens again tho. Idk! Hopefully this helps. It's small inside. I wouldn't eat inside. Take it home so you can fix it up like I did. You're welcome.

Best soul food in philly, possibly best soul food I've ever had. The overall rating should be much…read moremuch higher, but people don't know that it's a lonnng wait and that if you're short with her, Ms Frances WILL go off on you. Like anyone who is truly passionate about food. Respect the process and she will be kind, funny, insightful and extremely pleasant. The fried chicken is INSANE. Ask for gravy. I get mine on the side. It's heavenly. Best collards, so fresh. Mac and cheese also off the chain and must order. Great catfish. Been meaning to try more on the menu, but I love what I've gotten so much that every time I'm there I want to get it again. CORNBREAD. Get cornbread. If it hasn't sold out (which it often does) This is a five star place if you are serious about food. If you don't like waiting and need some fake niceness when you're complaining like a punk then go to Crown or Popeyes. This is the real damn deal

I would guess that anyone giving this establishment 5 stars are either their friends and associates…read moreor being paid to do so. As I said previously.. and as many reviewers confirmed.. these are the nastiest people on the face of this planet. They act as if they're doing you a favor by taking your money. Their attitude is beyond rude.. and I don't think the establishment is clean . Generally, I support black businesses.. but I cannot support this one. I even give businesses a second chance figuring that I may have been there during an off day. Years later, still the same nasty attitudes. Still questionable in maintaining sanitary practices. I don't recommend. If I could give them zero stars, I would
