I'm surprised at myself for this review, since I'm usually a steam tray skeptic. However, their…read morecurry chicken was so good that now I have to reconsider that principle. If anything, the steam tray might have made it more tender and flavorful, and it wasn't at all worse for wear! But maybe the real highlight is the vegetable mix that comes with the rice, with still-crunchy celery. Plantains were tasty and soft, though not crunchy.

Chicken was bursting with flavor, very savory and just the right amount of salt, plus the sauce it was bathed in was on point. Rice and beans were great, seasoned lightly and very soft. Not really a fan of cabbage or plantains, so I give those away. I do appreciate the fact the guy behind the counter poured the chicken sauce over the rice, always love sauce over rice.

I think pre Covid might have been their height and they've lost their zest for business there…read moresouthern fried whiting was the worst inedible piece I fish I've had ; they weren't happy to see us the kids seemed restless. Our food took longer then expected . Their collard greens were terrible.. I make a way better batch for thanksgiving...Mac and cheese was ok fried chicken too but not for the prices ;they even switched our sides up ; unfortunately with a place like Su gar down the road whose owner is genuinely happy to see us and is a down eat in establishment and children who don't seem restless.. I feel this places needs a ton of help and we won't be back .

ORIGIN: Khalliah Murphy (aka Lady K) enjoyed cooking since…read moreshe was a little girl. After completing culinary school, Murphy started a Yonkers-based catering company, and later, in 2016, moved north to open a brick and mortar cafe -- Lady K's Southern Comfort. LOCATION: Lady K's Southern Comfort is located in a small strip mall along Violet Avenue/Route 9G. Ample parking is available. CONCEPT: Lady K's offers quintessential southern comfort food, such as rice with pigeon peas and slow cooked savory collard greens, however tastes of other culinary heritages, such as empanadas, are sprinkled across the menu. Lady K's primarily offers dishes that represent home cooked southern meals -- on site, as take out, or custom catered events. SERVICE: One thing that stands out about Lady K's Southern Comfort is the homey feeling. This extends to the service. During my weekend afternoon visit Khalliah and Shawn Murphy's daughter and son were eagerly helping (Little K and Littlest K). Although customers place their orders at the counter, I was still asked whether I liked what I had chosen. My response brought a proud smile to Little K's face! EXPERIENCE: Plates are available in three sizes, with a protein and two choice of sides. I experienced the small fried chicken with collard greens and macaroni and cheese on the side. Khalliah's family were known for their fried chicken recipe in their Bronx neighborhood, so it comes as no surprise that the chicken was expertly executed -- crisp, non-greasy exterior encasing juicy, moist interior at every bite. Complementing this was the collard greens, in which multiple flavors were married and had just the right amount of vinegary flavor. Next time I will ask for double sides of collard greens -- it's that outstanding! While multiple tables are set up for dining, Lady K's is currently primarily set up for take out. Although photos on Yelp suggest there was plated service in the past, all food is now served in compartmented styrofoam take out containers. This was my only disappointment as I feel household plates and utensils would reflect the homey dishes for those who are looking to dine in. TIPS: Check Lady K's Facebook profile for rare temporary changes in daily hours. Kool Aid is one of the beverage options. I have never seen that before in a menu and I think it's available adds to the homey aspect of the meals prepared at offered at Lady K's Southern Comfort. Kool Aid was a staple in homes in my neighborhood, and the cheerfully colored packets of flavoring powders are rarely found in grocery stores today.

The yams were overly sweet and burnt. I never seen burnt yams. The fried fish will give you high blood pressure! That thing was soooo saltyy, I couldn't eat it. Even my kid complained. I'm thinking maybe I'll give it a try again because it was like the 1st week it opened but I'm not in no rush. Their customer service is exceptional! The restaurant is nice and clean. Good vibes and good music. Oh, and I did wait about 20 mins for my food, totally understandable if I want fresh food and plus there were others before me.

It has always been delicious and you get a really big plateful of food, enough for two meals. They are super nice people with great food! I see some really bad reviews here for the brick and mortar restaurant in Poughkeepsie and I really wonder about that. I've only gotten great food at their stand in Beacon, and I've been there many times. I think some of these reviews are for different restaurants and were mistakenly posted here by the reviewer? I was told they have moved the restaurant to Main Street in Beacon and are no longer in Poughkeepsie.

Finally got to check out Angel's on 9W in Kingston. It's great! Just like my favorite Latin food…read morespots in NYC, Angel's offer's a variety of delicious hot meals, deli-style. Also empanadas for those needing a quick snack. We tried the pernil, and 2 chicken dishes.. all super yummy. They do medium and large plates, and it is a lot of food! Great prices, friendly people. Check it out! I made this Yelp listing, since only their original Catskill location shows up here (with 4.5 stars). But the Kingston restaurant is well worth a visit, and imho, is now one of the best options for lunch in the 9W business district area. IFYKYK, Kingston has great Latin food options, many around Broadway, but this brings some much needed variety out to the shopping district. Looking forward to going again soon!
