I'm actually obsessed with BoBo's, and I 100% mean that. BoBo's is the truth. If you're looking for…read morethe best soul food in Rochester (and beyond?) look no further. Mr. BoBo makes all of the food in-house and it's made fresh, he is the nicest guy you'll ever meet too. Keep in mind that this is not a sit-down place, in fact there are no tables, so you'll need to treat as take-out only. His entrees cost like $10-$14, but portions are massive. You'll have leftovers for a while. Each dish comes with a meat (chicken wings or ribs), and 2 sides (yams, mac and cheese, collard greens), cornbread, and rice. You can add shrimp for like $3 more. The flavor you guys, the flavor. I have never liked collard greens until I had this man's collard greens, the flavor from the ham-hock is indescribable. The mac and cheese is creamy and seasoned well, the yams are as sweet as candy. The complimentary pieces, the cornbread and the rice are just as good. The rice tastes like chicken and the cornbread is cake, literal sweet, delicious cake. Moving on to the meats, both ribs and chicken wings fall off the bone and BoBo's house-made sauce is A MUST. Every time I eat it, my taste-buds are assaulted by the tenderness of the meat, the flavor and the sauce. Plan on not moving for a while after eating BoBo's because you will be full and in a good way.

Told her I wanted to eat some good food. Something fast, but with a lot of love in it. She told me about Tangie's Kitchen. Walked in the door...for some strange reason I didn't smell any food,. Went straight to the steamed display. Not much of a choice, but that didn't bother me. From experience, I've learned you put your best on display at all times. Beef Ribs, Mac & cheese...and something I don't usually eat, Beans. Oh, I got some meat loaf also. She ordered, total price, just under $30 dollars. Other things to do, so food sat in it's package in the car for about 45 minutes. No biggie, good food ALWAYS reheat nicely in microwave. You just have to catch that right temp, not too hot, not too cool. But let me tell you. I never taste anything in my life like this cooking. Starting with the beans, mix with I think ground beef, with gravy. My mouth jumped for joy. The beef ribs cooked just right. The mac & cheese. Sorry, I must have came a little too late, a little dry, but also good. Had no room for the muffin that came included. Saved the meatloaf for the bus ride back to the city. Question...why are you not in NYC, say Harlem or even The Bronx? Branch out, give it a shot. But ya have to bring the same cooks with you. Can't wait until my next trip up here to try something else they have to offer.

Some of the best cabbage you can find in a Caribbean spot, perfect bite and flavor. Collard greens are cooked with meat drippings, as are the green beans. Cabbage is vegetarian. Try the cornbread! Service is helpful and communicative. Popular place for delivery and pick up. On top of that, the owner and operator, Ms. Evangela 'Van' Stanley is widely regarded in the community for her generosity and care for others. While you wait for your food, take a look at the many, many commemorations and honors she has been bestowed by the community, city, and state for all that she had done. She is always finding new ways to help others. Curry shrimp is cooked to order, and fish is often available on weekends. As she's cooking and greeting customers, she's also taking phone orders, so go ahead and call before you come if you have questions or special requests. Great place to stop by if you're by the airport.

After drooling over Saucey's instagram posts for months, my sister and I decided to try her food…read more The Saucey Chef drops her menu and phone lines open around noon each day she is open (Wed-Sat/Sun, I can't remember). We called many times in a row and got a busy signal each time (it's POPULAR). After countless attempts, someone finally answered. We placed our order, set a pickup time, and paid via Venmo. We picked up our order from the kitchen at our determined time. It was definitely a process, but it is WORTH IT. All of the food was so hot, fresh, and flavorful. You can tell that each dish is made with an incredible amount of love and care. My sister, husband, and I could not stop raving about it! The meats were cooked to perfection and the mac and cheese was one of the BEST I've ever had. If you want a hot, fresh, home cooked meal (but don't feel like cooking), The Saucey Chef is an experience that will leave you wanting more (and more and more).

I can confirm that the shrimp and grits are wonderful as well as the waffles, home fries and everything else that we have tried which is pretty much everything. My aunt raved about the catfish nuggets. Their chicken and waffles are served with wings not tenders so that is also a big hit. The shrimp and grits feature jumbo shrimp, not the small ones, and the portion is large enough for two of us to split. Our family hosted a small gathering here in the fall and we recently went back, as a couple and had an amazing experience. I had not previously heard of this restaurant prior to my niece planning and making the recommendation, but we are so happy that we did. The food is nothing short of phenomenal. Did I mention that it is flavorful and delicious? Can I elaborate on how overly nice everyone on the staff is from the owner, to the wonderful people working in the kitchen. The atmosphere is modern with great vibes. The music is loud, but lends itself to a fun vibe. The mimosas are strong and a decent pour. Lots of good things to say about Vault, but the bottom line is that it is more than worthy of a visit. I have read other reviews comment on the wait. We have never experienced a long wait times. However, the dining room is not super large, so if you go on a Saturday or Sunday maybe use common sense and know that you'll be waiting longer during peak times. We dined midweek and waited no time to sit since there weren't many people and no more than 15-20 minutes for our meal. Our server, this time, could have been a little more prompt as it took her about 15 minutes to appear from the back to take orders for my table and another one. We have parked on the street during visits. Parking is not the most ideal, but we have managed to easily find a spot. All good things have been experienced during our visits. Add this to your restaurant rotation because we certainly already have! We like it.

The hostess talked to the people in front the of us for a good 5 minutes or so about what their options were because there wasn't a table available for them.

The hostess never once looked at us, acknowledged our presence or said the simple words that make any customer happy, "I'll be right with you." So we walked out unhappy and went to another place in the public market that made us feel very welcome instead. It was disappointing and I won't be going back but we had a fantastic brunch somewhere else.

The owner has catered two events for me, and we received nothing but high praise for the food that was served. The owner is a young lady who has learned how to cook very well. I've had the pineapple bowl, wings (lemon pepper are my favorite), fried fish, fried chicken, pulled pork, yams (THE BEST), mac & cheese, green beans, dirty rice, yellow rice...all of these are very tasty. You have to go there on your own and try the food though; the 4/14/18 review couldn't be further from the truth. (I'm actually not sure that it was written by a real person, as I read the comment...) Correct: there is no delivery; you cannot dine in. There is, however, parking on the side of the building, and it would definitely be worth your time to give Stop One Kitchen a try.
