I am in trouble now. I'm from the south and up until this moment I had never found really excellent…read moresouthern food in California. Tonight I got the fried chicken dinner, dark meat of course, with macaroni and cheese, collard greens, a biscuit and sweet tea. That chicken was so tender and juicy, and the breading so savory. The macaroni and cheese was so creamy and chewy, the collard green with the turkey neck was just the right amount of savory with a little bit of black pepper spice. I wasn't super thrilled with the biscuit, it was a bit dense for my taste. My man got a cornbread muffin though, and that was awesome. I should've asked for the cornbread and then I could've dipped it in my greens juice. JC was a great server! She was patient and really good at explaining things, my mom had some questions about some of the seasonings used. She had our drinks on the table, ordered taken, and the food delivered to us within 15 minutes. Interior of the restaurant is homey and cozey, but a little bit modern too. They have a nice looking patio, but we didn't sit on it, we were worried it might get a little chilly as it got dark. I will absolutely be back to this business anytime I get hungry for a taste of home.

I liked that after a table is used then they sweep around it and really clean it and put a sanitized sign on it. We happened to be there before 6 pm so got a few happy hour special prices. Now to reason we stopped by, the food. We loved the artichoke dip, so cheezy. The fried chicken was delicious and moist. The biscuits and Mac and cheese were great as well. They even make their own dressing and I loved the dill ranch, yum! We saved room for dessert and loved the banana cream pudding with homemade whipped cream. Delicious!

Where do I begin?…read more First and foremost the front cashier was very pleasant and quick. She was also seen helping bring drinks and clean tables when not super busy. The catfish was juicy and flavorful. The batter was flaky and crispy. It came out piping hot and I loved it. I will 100% reorder. The red beans and rice had great spices and you can taste the seasonings in each bite. Very good and subtle in a way that gave me a break from the tenseness of the catfish and mac n cheese. A must have for sure. The Mac n Cheese is the best in sac from any restaurant. It's creamy, cheesy and again seasoned very well. I wish I had more room in my stomach for just more mac n cheese lol Cornbread was very well balanced. It came with cinnamon butter which I would probably ask not to have based on how I prefer my cornbread. Overall 9.3/10 for this specific order. I think anyone who is a fan of soul food would appreciate this place. I will be back very soon to try more entrees and side options. Remember this is a locally owned business and they are not McDonald's. Give them grace and respect when dining here. I 100% recommend this place.

Really fun little restaurant that really captures that homey Southern charm…read more We were seated right away, and the host was really nice and fun, offering his recommendations without us even having to ask. Our waitress came over shortly after. I see a lot of mixed reviews about the service, and I think some staff members are friendlier and more outgoing than others, but even the less friendly servers were still attentive, helpful, and quick. I think it just depends on who you get and whether you value a really friendly interaction or care more about the food and basic service. We tried a cappuccino since the host said they make all their coffee in-house, and it was pretty good, especially coming from someone who doesn't drink coffee. We chose the fried green tomatoes as our starter, and they were delicious. I'd never had them before but had always heard how iconic of a Southern dish they are. They were really well balanced with the aioli and feta, and the tomatoes themselves were juicy and fresh. I had to go with the shrimp po' boy, which was also really good. The shrimp were pretty big and tasted fresh, complemented well by the really light, airy, buttery bread and fresh vegetables inside. The fries were also a plus! I enjoyed everything I ordered and would definitely come back to try some other things. I will say it was a bit pricey for brunch for two people, with the bill coming out to around $80 with tip. I guess that's just the day and age we live in now, though. I thought the portions were decently sized. Not as huge as your typical diner portions, but still large enough that you could probably expect some leftovers.

The beignets reminded us of Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans. Our table staff was also excellent, attentive, and friendly. Unfortunately, our experience got off to a disappointing start. While we were standing closest to the greeter's desk, the gentleman seating guests seemed to overlook us and asked another couple if they were next in line. Whether intentional or not, it left us feeling overlooked and uncomfortable. It was an unfortunate moment that took away from an otherwise enjoyable brunch. Sadly, this first impression may make us think twice about returning.

For whatever reason I'm sure is probably because I went there late at night, the Cabbage wasn't tasting like I normally like it to be. It was really soggy, not crisp and very salty. Yet this is just one night of tasting It. Whenever I eat It is VERY, VERY, VERY DELICIOUS. So my suggestion would be don't go there to eat cabbage an hour before closing. Go during the day and you will be very satisfied. THE SERVICE WAS AWESOME. THE YOUNG LADY WAS VERY FRIENDLY, PERSONABLE WITH THE WONDERFUL SMILE ON HER FACE AND HAPPY TO HELP ME. My visit was Friday May 8, 2026 about an hour before closing.

We called to check about the lunch special and if we didn't really want this place we would have said hang up and tried another place. Once we received our food, the lady didn't add any bbq sauce and the potato salad was warm. Trip two and Three: 4/25 and 4/28 the lady with the locs is amazing and I wish I interacted with her from the beginning. After the initial interaction two weeks ago I probably would have never returned however after randomly seeing the offering on Too Good To Go App the nice lady at the store was phenomenal with her service. We had ribs each time and while I was irked the first order didn't include any I'm definitely not a drench my meat gal either. Hoping next time I get something other than BBQ but who knows what I will try next. I'm sure I'll return and the next time I will get her name

I was recommended Tori's Place for their fried chicken so I gave it a shot. I found the lightly crispy skin to be excellent. You can see the herbs and spices that they use in the breading and the taste is outstanding. It's one of the best chicken skins I've had. The combo meal comes with three pieces - a wing, thigh, and drum. You also get your choice of side as well as their hot water butter cornbread. Though I loved the exterior taste of the chicken, I found the inner part to be less quality than I would have liked. Certainly not bad, but I could tell that the actual chicken quality wasn't as high. As fried chicken is, the grease factor is there so expect to use a lot of napkins! The side I chose was mac and cheese, and Tori's doesn't skimp! I found their portion to be very nice. The mac and cheese was also very creamy and soft. It was very comforting to eat. The cornbread was interesting and very large. It wasn't my favorite thing, but it was an interesting bite for sure. Tori's is especially famous for their gumbo, so the next time I go I'm going to give it a try!

I'm not speaking in hyperbole. The chicken was juicy, had great flavor, and did NOT need bbq sauce. I may only get chicken when I return. The bbq pork was good, but... I think tasting the chicken first ruined any chance of me talking about the pork. Regardless, they know their meat. The sauce was sweet, but had a good tangy aftertaste that was just right. The bbq beans tasted of a smoky/molasses type flavor, and I ate it all. The only disappointment was the mac and cheese...he reviews rave, but to me, it was a little bland. A strong 4 for food. The customer service was over and beyond... because it was honest. A woman took my order, and she was very sweet and polite. The gentleman who gave me my food and I had a fun little conversation, ending with a fist bump. Customer service was a 5 star experience. Not much more to explain. I would definitely return, and probably get the chicken, beans, and then try something new Highly recommend you give them a try

They market themselves as upscale southern food, not soul food, so coming here with realistic expectations is definitely important to your experience. It felt loosely southern inspired, definitely seasoned and prepared with the Roseville demographics in mind. We ordered the Caesar salad, the fried chicken, the ribeye, and a side of mac. Out of those items the ribeye was our favorite, the least favorite was the mac. I ordered a cocktail and they definitely do not skimp on the liquor. I definitely want to try more of the menu.
