Lol Ordered the Lit Back special... with the chicken wings, fried shrimp, and brisket. Collard greens and mac & cheese for my sides, comes with cornbread too. Had the cookie monster dessert also, but i devoured it before could take a pic. It's like that! Wings - seasoned well, fried golden brown, crispy & juicy Shrimp - plump & good sized, seasoned well, fried perfectly Beef brisket - tender & juicy, that blueberry bbq sauce Collards - like somebody's grandma's, fork tender, can taste the vinegar, crush red pepper and smoked turkey meat Mac & cheese - very good, can taste the real cheese Cornbread - kissed with honey, soft and pillowy, & lowkey the star of whole show

For what they have to work with, they do a GREAT job. I found this restaurant, because in my search for Soul Food, on Labor Day, this place was the ONLY one open. When you walk in, make a sharp right; walk straight until you can't walk anymore, then make a right. Walk down and it will be on your right. Food was delicious. Ordered three "to-go" plates. Turkey Wings (you only get ONE), Macaroni & Cheese, and sweet potato (very nutmeg forward); fried fish with potato salad, and yams again; fried pork chops with gravy on the side, white rice, and gravy, collard greens. Everything was good. I do recommend and I will be back again.

This was my first visit to the establishment with my mother. We were seated promptly, and our…read moredrinks and meal orders were taken efficiently. However, the food took longer to arrive than I have experienced at other venues. While I am generally patient, the extended wait began to cause some frustration. When the food finally arrived, I was somewhat disappointed, as several dishes, such as the macaroni and cheese and green beans, were overly seasoned. My mother found the macaroni and cheese to be okay , but I found it excessively salty. Overall, I would rate the food a 5 out of 10. After some time, we were ready for our check, but our server was unavailable and took an extended period to return, even to check on how we were doing or to bring the bill. She did check on us after the food arrived, but during the wait, my mother and I grew increasingly annoyed and were ready to leave. Instead, we continued to wait. I later realized that she may have been assisting another group with a large event, which I understand is not her fault but likely a decision made by management. Ideally, she should not have been attending to multiple tables simultaneously, especially during a busy period involving a large party. As a result of the service experience, I did not feel inclined to leave a tip. We were aware that increased patience might have been necessary due to the larger party being served. Based on this experience, I do not plan to return to this establishment.

We were surprised by how large the restaurant is. There is plenty of seating. The waitress came and brought us menus. Since it was holy hour I tried 5of the fried shrimp for a starter. I lap got a bahama mama and my friend got a tropical margarita. The shrimp were big and full of flavor, a little on the salty side but the cocktail sauce balanced them out For entrees I got the fried pork chops menu friend got turkey wings. We both got rice & gravy and collards for our sides. While we waited for our food there was a DJ playing music that kept the vibe going. Even with the amount of people it did not take a really long time for our food to come. I hadn't had fried pork chops in a while and they were really good. Crunchy but not too crunchy. The rice and gravy was pretty good and the collards weren't bad, a little overcooked for my liking. The cornbread was light and super sweet. It went well with the collards. Defiantly a great place for good food and good music on a Friday!!

The meatloaf was a decent portion, but very bland. The ketchup helped it somewhat. The Mac and cheese was bland as well but it was cheesy, so I was ok with that. The texture and everything was fine. I wouldn't go out of my way to have this again, but if I'm in the area and wanted something , maybe. A little seasoning would probably change the experience!

It was a lot of chewy fatty pieces in there that I had to spit out. The salmon egg rolls were DELICIOUS! The green beans were definitely made with love.

The turkey wings fell off the bone. It was very good. The staff seemed to be okay but had a lot of their own conversations going on. The customers didn't seem like the priority.

There's no dine-in seating here -- it's strictly order and pickup -- but the service was fast and friendly.
