Amazing food, family owned, service was great! Highly recommend for delicious southern food. Greens are a must!

Nestled between 2 stores, this restaurant sits on the busy side of Wood Ave. The interior decor has all of the elements of a 'down home' establishment- it feels like your in your Aunt's House. The service was consistent with the ' down home' feel and the food was pretty good. The collard greens were good, mac & cheese needed alittle more flavor and the fried whiting was tasty. I will definitely return to try other items on the menu. (10/2026) read more

The customer service here. WOW. While I wanted to ignore some of the explicit reviews, everyone cannot be lying after trying this place. While the food was decent, the service was pretty bad. When a customer enters your establishment, say hi and be friendly, it takes nothing. So while the food was OK, I would pass on another visit because of the service alone. read more

Fried Chicken Wings, Mac & Cheese, Yams, Collard Greens & Potato Salad were all amazing dishes. I'm in town for work and wanted to try some soul food. Great choice of food with an amazing staff. Can't wait to come back to try the fried Pork Chops read more

So far what I had was the BBQ chicken, mac & cheese, and string beans. The chicken was fallen off the bone and tender,and juicy. The two side was good. I'm definitely going back to try the turkey wings. read more

I've had the smothered chicken in the past and liked that a little more than the Turkey wings. Though both were good and the Turkey wings are one of their popular items on grubhub. Collard greens were good both times and so was the meat but feel like the Mac both times (which I forgot this go round unfortunately) gave stove top. Just seemed underbaked. I know the new way with Mac n cheese, people often do a cheese sauce but still have had Mac made that way that's been more well baked/ still tasted like baked Mac n cheese. When stirring it, it stirs and mashed like stove top, versus it being a bit more stiff when trying to manipulate it. I'd order again but with the yams instead (they were good last time), didn't get them this time. Makes me want to give 3/3.5 stars because baked Mac is essential to a soul spot so sucks having to order rice or another starch from a soul food place. read more

I dnt even write reviews especially not on my own kind, but I had too some things are jst unacceptable. This is a blk own business ran buy all blk people. Blk women to be exact! I'm blk myself so I stopped by to get me some quick eats cuz I'm here visiting & it was near my hotel. The bigger lady in the front is rude as f*kk. I wouldn't even recommend this place to nobody at all. How u running a fast food place & rude & mad this is ur job to assist customers & any questions they have to ask regarding ur food u are selling. Blk people run business so crazy & wonder why people dnt like to shop with them. She was jst rolling her big as neck when I asked about a food item on they menu. Jst grumpy & rude for no reason. That's why blk people dnt support other blk people business they got the worst attitudes & im spending my money on ur food. Ridiculous Go Elsewhere for soul food. The Mac N Cheese & Greens is horrible no flavor. The fish is good that's about it. Go spend your money elsewhere where they will appreciate ur service whole bunch of angry blk women working here cussing & all type of unnecessary crap. read more

This rating is for service not the food. The woman who answered the phone was so rude and short with me, that I didn't even get a chance to order the food. In this day and time if you want business you have to be polite. At least listen to what the customer is asking. I never tried the food before. I had Taste for some good ol soul food. There are few around and we found this place close by. If you read my other reviews, I am honest and supportive of local and small businesses. Had the food been good I would have given a better review. I guess we will never know. read more

So the lady tells me I'll be back!! I receive my order of Turkey Wings, Mac n Cheese, Collard Cabbage mix, and Rice and gravy. I open my plate and false advertisement smacks me in the face. The photo shows 2 Wings, but when I look there is this huge Leg part of the Wing and one Wing! I'm like WTF!!! This is the first place I've ever seen this. The Greens were awful. They were sweet and i've never had sweet Greens. The Mac N Cheese need major help. I'm guessing all of the good reviews came from family members. The Fish my wife enjoyed, but the sides and that big ass Whole Turkey wing was awful and dry even though it had gravy. I won't be back!! Trust me!!!! read more

The chicken wasn't that good, but the mac n cheese and corn bread were great. I want to come back and try something else because the owners are nice and seemed like great people. read more

First we were craving some soul food; second we want to support african-american establishments. we drove 1/2hr to get here but it's well worth it. Curbside pickup. Owner (Momma) was so kind; asking us to call when we're about 1/2 way there so we pick up freshly cooked food. Came out to let my hubby know she was still cooking :-), awesome! whiting fish delish & fresh! chicken wings SO good! mac & cheese, cheesy but not creamy (i don't like creamy do i'm very happy); the candied yams are so good very flavorful but not overly sweet; a good sweet that offset all the fried. such a good combo. hubby ordered fried pork chops but hasn't tried it yet but they are fried, like fried chicken. this is our new go-to in Linden! ooooops i forgot ordered a slice of caramel vanilla cake that smells heavenly, but will eat later. Also, each dinner serving I think is enough for two servings. YUM! read more

Call several times during business hours and I was outside of restaurant. I saw people standing inside just looking at me. So no I can't recommend this place. FYI no the voice message didn't say anything about being closed. read more

This place was fantastic. The food sounded so good I couldn't make up my mind so I ordered 3 meals. I was not disappointed with any of it, the sides alone were some of the best I've had in a longtime. To top it off she called when it was done and I made a quick curbside pickup. I will definitely be ordering again, maybe today. read more

The best place to get you some southern food! Really enjoy eating from Mammas whenever I am in town.

We have ordered take out twice here for the office. Great southern soul food. Fried pork chops, excellent. Great collard greens. The guys at the office love the whiting. If there is an downfall would be the menu selection, but everything on the menu we have tried it great. read more
