    Turkey Chops Fried Mac & Cheese Dressing
    Heaven B.

    The food was delicious! The Cornish hen was juicy and crispy to perfection. Mac n Cheese and Yams were perfect. Wednesday and Sunday are my favorite time to visit for the soul food . Chef Keisha is nice, the service is good for the most part.

Music is pretty loud in this small space. We decided on the 3 entrees for 69.00 with a glass of wine. We chose the pepper steak, smothered chicken, orange chicken, catfish and spaghetti, and the bbq catfish. Overall the food was ok., The bbq fish was a little to fishy and the smothered chicken was heavily salted. The star of our 6 dishes was the fried piece of catfish. The food came out quickly but nothing was piping hot. The server was OK as well, he did exactly what we expect of a server nothing more nothing less. I will say next time I would take the drive to the West side location, to me the food choices are better as well as the service.

Not that expensive Soulfood fusion stuff either. Good old fashioned soul food. Let me say, it ain't cheap but there is something for every budget. If you cannot afford short ribs, get something you can afford. Duh. Fortunately, I can afford em and so I got them. They were perfect. Gravy was perfect. I was hesitant about the red beans and rice BUT they were some of the best I've had outside of my own. Greens were delicious as well. The portions were huge! Me and my wife were talking about how heavy our plates were. We each had three full meals of each plate. And when she wasn't looking, I ate some of hers too. She got the turkey wings (fire), mac and cheese (fire), and dressing. She said that was dry but when I went to steal some from her it was all gone. It was some good outside the house dressing. For desert we got the pudding cakes or cake puddings...idk what they are really but it was delicious. I have no idea why this place has three stars. Yall tripping. No, it doesn't taste like YOUR mother's but your mother's might be trash to someone. Is it good still? Absolutely.

    food was excellent, everyone enjoyed their food, even grandma.... And she's the hardest to please!…read more Chicago l, you have a gem here in the Southside. Don't be fooled, the food is worth it, especially if you love Soul Food you don't have to prepare yourself.

Again everything was edible, but it was giving senior citizen home soulfood. they're only open on the weekends so that works for their customer base I guess so they can get the best bang out of their customers.. I don't know if I go back baby. I need to try something else. The turkey wings have good flavor, but the meat itself was tender and dry at the same time. I don't know how that worked out. sweet Sunday atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Sheba I remember was very hospitable.

The…read moremac and cheese, yams, greens, and fried green tomatoes were all excellent and full of flavor. The only disappointment was the fried chicken. It wasn't bad, but it was just okay and didn't live up to the rest of the meal. If the chicken had been as good as the sides, this easily would have been a 5-star experience. The service was good overall. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive, but she never asked if we wanted anything to drink besides water or if we'd like dessert. Those small details would have made the experience even better. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the amazing sides, and hopefully the fried chicken is better next time.

I said fried chicken, mac n cheese and greens. She said ok we have that. My spouse said she wanted meat loaf, mac n cheese and string beans. While sitting I realized I wanted potato salad and bread pudding so I added it. I realized I enjoyed ordering not from what I saw on a menu but what I had a taste for and that was a great experience. Thank you Pearls. My food was amazing everything was seasoned well except my greens. Would I go back yes indeed. The bread pudding was the busy. Yummy for my tummy Sorry I finished all my food before writing this review believe me the seasoning and portion size was OUTSTANDING!!!!!
