4 months ago my daughter got me to try Southern Crave on a Sunday afternoon on a whim, so we went…read more I was excited about the oxtails that day but they were out so I got flounder. I left a 3 review then and the owners contacted me. It's been 4 months and I just made it back. Glad I did! They had the oxtails and I'll be back for them again. My daughter got the grilled cheese with oxtails and she loved it. It's full of oxtail. We got fried okra Mac n cheese and collards as our side dishes. Nicole was super kind when we came in, we waited in the car for our food and it was ready early so she brought it out to us. I know that's not a usual service but she had the time, thanks Nicole. Reminder: there is not a dining room. It's grab and go. I definitely will return!

It's a pick up location that is clean and well maintained. Now, the main attraction, the food. Those smoked oxtails made me want to turn around and order a full pan of them! They were tender, flavorful, and saucy. The seafood Mac and cheese had the right amount of cheese and you could enjoy the seafood! The lamb chops, cooked medium, were cooked to perfection. Flavor was through and through. The yams needed a little sauce for me, but they were still flavorful. I am coming back to Columbia JUST to revisit this place forsure! Make sure yall go get a plate ASAP.

I've been to Kiki's Chicken & Waffles on Parkland Road several times for breakfast and lunch,…read moreunfortunately, this most recent visit was disappointing--not only because of the food, but also because of the customer service. When a customer walks into your restaurant, they should be greeted and acknowledged. I stood there for a few minutes before anyone acknowledged me, and the first thing I was asked was whether I had placed an online order. The restaurant was not full at the time, so I found that experience disappointing. A simple "Welcome in, we'll be with you shortly" would have made a big difference. I ordered Kiki's Soul Food Plate with four chicken wings, string beans, sweet potato soufflé, and a muffin, along with a side of collard greens. The chicken wings were fried to a good consistency, but once I bit into them, the chicken was extremely dry--much drier than I expected. The string beans and collard greens were okay, but honestly, neither was anything special. The sweet potato soufflé was another surprise. When I took a bite, I tasted what seemed to be a clove, and I actually had to spit it out. That was definitely not what I expected when ordering sweet potato soufflé I am not a big fan of cloves. The muffin was probably the best part of the meal. It was hot, edible, and had more of a cake-like texture, which I actually enjoyed. I'm not someone who judges a restaurant based on one visit, especially since I've eaten at Kiki's several times before. But this particular visit just didn't live up to my previous experiences. The food and the service both missed the mark this time. I hope this was simply an off day because I would like to see Kiki's do better.

We stopped in for lunch and let me tell you... those collard greens are something special. Packed with flavor and the perfect side to make you feel like you're sitting at grandma's table. Now let's talk about the Chicken & Waffles -- hot, fresh, and made with love. The waffle had the most delicious vanilla flavor that reminded me of a funnel cake, with that perfect balance of fluffy inside and crispy edges. Paired with that crispy chicken, it was the kind of comfort food combo that just hits the spot. Come hungry because this is the kind of meal that reminds you why soul food has a way of bringing people together. The only reason I can't give it 5 stars is the AC was out that day and I can say it was pretty warm inside. But the service was great and our server was so sweet and a true trooper!

The price is very reasonable; this is a place where you could easily throw peanut shells on the floor and no one would bat an eye (disclaimer: there are no free peanuts to nosh or shells to toss). Hudson's has a buffet. We checked it out quickly (looks like it had pulled pork and fried chicken and chicken livers as protein and a lot of cafeteria style sides and desserts). I guess if I were 30 years younger and had a big appetite I might go for that deal. After a short discussion, we ordered platters: two pulled pork, and one rib. My wife ordered chicken salad. When our orders arrived, we counted three pulled pork platters; alas, no ribs. Opps! Once my order hit the table, he couldn't take it back, so he promptly corrected the order and I got the benefit of double meat, i. e., a generous portion of pulled pork and my ribs. Pulled pork was quite tasty, but I think that I have made it just as good or better in a slow cooker. I really did enjoy my ribs. They had just enough meat and a brown sugar, dry rub. They were tender and not dried out, so I'll give Hudson's four stars on the ribs. I think the baked beans were advertised as barbecue, but our friend who had them said they weren't, but still tasted good. The mac in the mac n cheese was not over cooked, and it was quite cheesy, and I was surprised to find a few crispy chunks of cheesy sauce--always a plus! The slaw was fresh and well prepared. This was our first trip to Hudson's and our friends have been there several times but not for years. I have to give them a solid three. As I already mentioned, Hudson's a good-value dining choice; the BBQ is decent, but the sides are not much better than a K & W cafeteria. A great family Smokehouse!

For our lunch, we decided to dive into the menu with the Brown Stew Chicken and Oxtail, and let me tell you... every bite was packed with flavor. The kind of meal where the first bite makes you pause because you can instantly taste the love and seasoning that went into it. The Brown Stew Chicken was tender, flavorful, and falling right off the bone. Served with rice, and one side, I upgraded my side to the Rasta Pasta and it was 100% worth it. Creamy, delicious, and the perfect addition to the meal. My husband went for the Oxtail with peas and rice plus a side of macaroni and cheese. That oxtail was cooked perfectly -- rich, comforting, and full of those bold island spices you hope for. And don't forget about one of their lemonades! We got Island Apple Lemonade -- refreshing, sweet, and the perfect match for all those incredible flavors. One thing that stood out to us was the attention to detail. The sides weren't just there to fill the plate -- they brought their own flavor and made the whole meal come together. We left already talking about what we need to try next because there is definitely more of this menu we need to explore! If you're craving authentic island-inspired comfort food in the Columbia area, be sure to give Tati's Island Cuisine a try! Everyone was so kind and can't wait to go back!
