    Grilled pork chops, Mac and cheese and green beans
    Rikesha F.

    Pleased as punch. This is how I described my visit to Kat's Kreations tonight. I don't give 5 stars out that often. But when I do, it's well deserved. First off, I was pleasantly greeted as my date and I walked in the door by Mr. Nichols, one of the owners. We immediately saw on the door that they were closing at 7:00, not 8:00, as Yelp stated. The time we entered was about 6:30 PM. Most people would have gave us the side eye for walking in there 30 minutes prior to closing, but not here. They were happy to wait on us. We both ordered the grilled pork chops and Mac and cheese. I ordered the green beans; my date added stewed potatoes and yams. We both had cornbread and split the red velvet cake. Y'all....this was some of the best home cooking I've eaten in...a long time. Everything was seasoned to perfection. No need for salt here. The macaroni and cheese was creamy, with the browned cheese on top. Just like somebody's grandma makes. The grilled pork chops were juicy and flavorful AND tender. Lastly, my green beans were seasoned with just the right umph to make me want to know what they seasoned them with so I can use it at my house. My date raved the entire time about his meal. I couldn't rave about mine because I was too busy eating. Lol. Before leaving, we talked with the genius behind the scene, Mrs. Kat, the owner. They have been in the food industry many years and also cater. They are super sweet people who I really want to see do big things with this restaurant. Yep...pleased as punch is how I sum up my experience. And full. I'll be back. I hope to see you there too.

    I have been going here ever since they had their grand opening and been a regular ever since. The food is very affordable and you get served a good amount to boot. Not only that but the workers and owner are very genuine and very nice, they really make you feel like a family. The interior is a little small but you'll definitely want to take home and enjoy the meal they give you. To me this is the example of a really good hole in the wall restaurant with really good soul food.

    Meatloaf with cabbage and fried okra
    Samuel P.

    Its been a year since I last wrote a review from here that it was only fitting that I give an update on the restaurant. The restaurant and menu is still the same, but the only difference is that they added a breakfast menu which they're going to start serving up soon. My impression with the restaurant wasn't good because the moment I'd walk inside, I was hearing that sticky noise with every step. I order my usual which is meatloaf and fried okra and I wanted to try a different side item to change up my routine so I went with a side of cabbage. While waiting, I can see why it felt like something felt sticky because the floor looks like it hasn't been mop up in awhile. Normally, I wouldn't have to warm up my food since I get everything hot, but the meatloaf and cabbage was more of a lukewarm type and I stay less than two minutes from the restaurant. They got good food, I just hope there standard isn't dropping and that it was just an off day.

    Centerpoint's premiere soul food location. Ms Kathy keeps the house packed on Sundays.

    Sunday Satisfaction!! Ms Kat's place is the Sunday destination of everyone in the Centerpoint community, great staff and helpful to the heart, these folks provide wonderful service and fantastic food day in and day out. Best food in the land hands down.

    Ox tails, rice, greens and cornbread muffin. Not a cornbread fan but this was pretty good.

    So glad to discover that this spot is in the area. It is much needed. I went in after church to pick up some food because I was not feeling cooking but wanted a good Sunday dinner. From the moment I walked in, the guy at the counter made me feel welcome and wanted to help me with the menu. He wasn't overbearing; actually pretty funny. I decided (finally) on the ox tails with rice and greens. Good selection. The meat was falling off the bone and they gave me plenty. My only complaint would be that I prefer a thicker sauce/gravy with my ox tails but they have more of a juice. They were tasty though and hit the spot. The star of my meal was the peach cobbler thanks to the guy that was at the counter. He said I would enjoy it and he was so right! I will definitely be back. Gotta support a great restaurant so close to home.

    The food wasn't edible... see my review

    I try to support new businesses but Kat's Kreations is an epic fail. About 2 months ago I went in to order 2 plates to go and a peach cobbler. The plates had collard greens, oxtails, chicken and dressing, green beans, pinto beans and cornbread. The peach cobbler had a jam texture and I wasn't even interested in trying it. The guy at the register made it seem like it was a must have. The veggies had a weird chemical taste, the chicken and dressing was gummy, the pinto beans were hard with no flavor and the oxtails, which is a higher priced item, was nothing but bones and fat with very little meat. I separated the bones in the pic so you can see what's left, It wasn't even edible. We took a loss on the meal because I didn't bother to take it back and I won't be going back to Kat's either.

    My date birthday is coming on the month of Feb so I thought it be a great idea to have pre celebration dinner at a new restaurant. I couldn't figure out the new restuarant that was in Centerpoint area. I just broke out and just asked what restuarant you wanted to go in Centerpoint one day then she told me it's called Kats Kreation. I told her that where we're going today. We got there at 630 pm so called 30 mins before closing. My date is now fashionable late for dinner outing but unfortunately it was me that late getting home lol. Finally, we thought the closing time was 8pm but reality is 7pm. The restaurant doesn't look a original soul food. This restuarant has a whole lot of style and with a twist of grandmother pizazz. I had some tasty macaroni cheese that make you flip for joy. Baked pork chop is so succulent to the bone. Whole potato that could that will melt in your mouth and candy yams that make you clap someone else momma. This great soul food will be here for year to come on East side of Birmingham. Kats Kreation make you feel like your own grandmother house with open invitation always.

    I'was the oxtails good?

    My date really enjoyed them! He says they were very meaty and tender.

    My first time at Gabriella's was recently. This place gets really busy..... fast! When I arrived,…read more there were about 2 ppl already present and ordering at the hot bar. It's kind of hard to tell what all the food options are, so I had to ask what some stuff was. I managed to get a meat and 2 instead of a meat and 5! There were quite a few veggie options that looked amazingly delicious! I do not recommend coming here hungry or hangry. Ok, sooo I love meat loaf so naturally that's what I got. I also got collards and cornbread dressing & yes they had cranberry sauce. Everything was good tasting. The meatloaf was a little sweet to my taste so I probably wouldn't order it again. The veggies were not over seasoned or overcooked. I will definitely comeback here bc there is still just so much I wanna try. The staff is nice and took care of the crowd. I even witnessed them give a person in need food, as they were about to dig in the restaurant's garbage can outside for scraps. Made me count my blessings.. all of them! There is street parking only. I didn't have any issues parking on a Sunday afternoon. The inside of this restaurant is not big but I was comfortable dining in.

    Good southern food on a Sunday afternoon while visiting. Couldn't tell from the Yelp pictures but…read moreit's a really small restaurant with food displayed buffet style behind the clear partition that they serve you in a container. Only about 3 people at a time can hold inside before it's starts getting crowded. It stay pretty busy. Options are 1 meat with two sides or 2 meats with three sides combination. A la cart is available as well. They have ice tea or lemonade drinks in a cup that they also serve you. Lemonade was good. There's a very small counter to pay after you order. Fry chicken is tasty with perfect crisp. Collard greens were seasoned well and perfect texture. Yams (my favorite) was perfect - flavorful, not too sweet and firm but not hard. Both of us thought the Black eyed peas looked really good but taste bland. I would have preferred it without the Okra. I didn't see that when I ordered. One in our group commented the meat loaf was good. The dressing was really good too - well seasoned and tasty. After paying there's a dining area for self seating. It serves the purpose to sit and eat but definitely could use sprucing up along with the restrooms. Please seriously consider! It would make the experience much more pleasant to enjoy their delicious food. I took off two stars for that reason and yes it's that unpleasant as the tables/chairs are also too clustered together. The chairs don't fit around the table properly. Overall good southern food at a reasonable price and recommended. Skip dining in if you don't have too. Just my two cents.

Parking is primarily street parking in the area, but there is also a public parking deck nearby. I'm unsure what the current cost is for the deck, but it's worth knowing if you're visiting during a busier time. I ordered the fish tacos with black beans and chose the cheese grits as my second side. Everything tasted fresh and had lots of flavor. The real star of the meal, though, was the sweet potato cake. It was incredibly moist and delicious. Honestly, I could've eaten four of them without shame or hesitation. My colleagues ordered burgers and fries. They both really enjoyed their burgers, but neither cared much for the fries. They had also requested a couple additional items after the food arrived, but those items never made it to the table. The decor is bright and fun, though it didn't quite seem to match the style of food being served. Just my personal observation. They also have a robot that helps deliver the food alongside the servers, which felt a little unexpected for the casual atmosphere and southern comfort food vibe. They were fairly busy since it was lunchtime on a Friday, but the wait really wasn't bad at all. Would I go back? Yes. Was it my absolute favorite? No. But there were definitely things I enjoyed, especially that sweet potato cake that nearly made me consider ordering dessert first next time.

    I specifically chose Yo' Mama's because I'd heard great things about the food and also wanted to…read moresupport a Black-owned business -- and I'm so glad I did because the food absolutely did not disappoint. We ordered the hot chicken sandwich with a side of coleslaw, and both were packed with flavor. The slaw was light, crisp, and not overloaded with mayo, with just a slight peppery kick that made it incredibly tasty. The hot chicken sandwich itself wasn't overwhelmingly spicy, but it was finger-licking good -- juicy, well-seasoned, and satisfying down to the last crumb. We truly enjoyed every bite. The ambience with its bright green, purple and white colors added to the experience. The restaurant was lively and full of people, which is always a good sign. I also caught glimpses of other patrons' dishes, and everything coming out of the kitchen looked just as delicious as what we ordered. Service was friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even better. Staff members seemed genuinely happy to be there and kept things moving smoothly. The location is right in the heart of downtown Bhama, so parking is metered street parking, but the prices were reasonable and worth it for the quality and uniqueness of the food. Overall, this spot delivered on food, atmosphere, and service. Big thumbs up from me -- I'll definitely be back!
