I don't know, its hard to impress me with 'homestyle' cooking so I typically rate these sorta joints harshly. My wife said she'd give it '5 stars'- she was quite impressed. My guess is this place's forte is Southern food. I saw lots of things like Black-eyed peas, yams, grits, gumbo, etc on the menu.
Overall I'd say the food was good. The meat came right off the ribs, the catfish was not greasy nasty like most I seem to have, the mashed potatoes were real and yum, the candied yams were delish, and the cornbread was done excellently. Also- they hook you up with more bread if you ask- very nice. So ya, the service is genuine.
The only cons I have is that the place is in an older part of town, so its a tad run down- but I never seem to mind that. The environment is more of an 'eat and go' sorta place- not a sit and linger place (for me atleast). But ya- these aren't really cons- just observations. Oh, but the bathroom was not working according to my wife...
Overall I'd say this place wasn't bad- but as stated before I don't usually go for homestyle- but if you go, the prices are reasonable and there is good quantity with okay quality for a very reasonable price. That equals satisfaction in my book. If I go again, though unlikely becuase I'm rarely in the mood for this and I don't live nearby, I'd like to try their gumbo and maybe their sweet potato pie.
Oh, and they do have wi-fi- a pleasant suprise.
Improtant Note: Also I just learned something from their site. It looks like their main entrees change each day. So make sure to check their website on what day of the week you plan on going and check their entrees... its a bit different, but that probably means its fresh that day. That would probably explain why we got our food so fast. I like that. read more
