    Meatloaf Collards Macaroni
    Autumn R.

    I ordered meatloaf with collards and macaroni. The meatloaf tasted like ground turkey with no seasoning. The macaroni was pretty good but the collards had no seasoning and was undercooked.

    This place is a hidden gem. I was a little spectacle when We walked in and the place was empty. After making the order and the cashier going back to the kitchen and It look like my mom back there , I was a little relieved. I ordered Turkey wings, mac and cheese , and black eyed peas. Everything was good and it came with dressing and a piece of homewater cornbread. The turkey wing was extremely tender. The serving was of dressing was small but it was good as well. The best part was the mac and cheese. My fiancé got the fried porkchop with gravy, candied yams, and mac. Everything was well seasoned and he got a healthy sized pork chop. For both meals we spent $19. Great price. Nice mom and pops soul food place. I definitely recommended it Just do yourself a favor and try it. They also work with Urber Eats.

    The "dressing"

    This place is traaassshhhh! Basura. My wife went in there with our 3 year old son. The owner's grandson "Brandon" works the front. This man is a maniac. Firstly, my wife waited an hour and some change for our food when quoted a 20 minute wait, the lack of "Brandon acting professionally by asking what customers "wanted" instead of 'Hi, may I help you?' This young man proceeds to get angry at the fact the place is getting busy and slams the cash register into my wife where she was waiting for our food, and flips a whole coin jar over at my son! Yelling and screaming. The owner then comes out, and that the customers need to excuse him bc he has "mental problems..." MA'AM! Why is he running your counter! Luckily my wife and son are ok, but what if they would've gotten hurt? An assault and battery charge from YOUR grandson that YOU clearly states had mental problems. The food? Dressing? More like corn meal, chicken broth, and cream of mushroom soup mixed together. The fried chicken was overly ass salty and gummy, not crispy at all. The yams still had a weird layer on it when biting into it, as if it's not cooked all the way. Collards were surprisingly pretty good. But that peach cobbler and mac and cheese was trifling. During her grandsons rampage she comes out and explains that they are understaffed that day and her other 2 cooks were in an accident at 2 am and everyone "just needs to be patient". My opinion: That's the price of having your own business. Your lack of having a reliable staff is not your customer's problem nor their issue. No discounts were given after having almost 14 orders backed up after my wife left (she counted only 5 people getting their food, but 18 people ordered all together....including ours....and ours was a CALL IN!!!)

    a plate of food

    Waited an hr for Mac and cheese and dressing went to ask how long to be told I can either wait longer or get my money back hell I waited that long what's a few more min.. she did make sure I was next in line however hand me food with her head turnt n when I said thank u and have a blessed day her rude ass ignored me never again will I eat here Y'all want the younger generation to respect the older but sum be just mean and nasty for no reason if I could give you all a 0 I would after giving y'all my business for the 3rd with bad customer service every time I definitely will not be returning anymore

    Veggie plate

    Huge fan of soul food, but this place was a disappointment. Got a veggie plate, for starters the rice was cooked too long and I was essentially eating flavorless mush. The mac and cheese was eh. Tasted someone else's "yams" and that was horrible as well. But the price for a veggie plate wasn't bad. And they didn't have dressing!! They only have it on Sundays. Huge let down. Not to mention, a friend of mine ordered a fish plate a while back and they forgot to give us the fish. So we drive back up there, and they give her the same cold piece of fish that was left off her plate. Seriously??? Friend was just hungry so she took it without even debating it. But they did offer the driest piece of cake I had ever tasted as an offering for their mess up. I won't ever be visiting here again. I'll stick to Annie Laura's.

    Fried pork chops...cooked to perfection!!

    Uber Eats delivered the soul food to my door and it was very good. The fresh turnip greens and pan-fried cornbread have made me a fan.

    The food is so good! I'm talking about go for the soul good!…read moreDon't let it fool you when you walk in the door, they have pool tables, music, the food is delicious! Service was great also! Go ahead and stop and eat! I just wished I didn't live so far away! But I will be stopping by on my next visit to the area!

    I finally pulled up to Yummies Cafe on a Thursday afternoon to check a box on my "must-visit" list…read more Supporting Black-owned spots is always the move, so I was looking forward to seeing how they got down. The space itself is actually a decent size--medium to large with enough seating to where you aren't fighting for real estate against the afternoon rush. It has a good flow to it, which I appreciated. I decided to deviate from the standard soul food lanes and went with the Caribbean Jerk Alfredo Combo, which comes with chicken and shrimp, plus some garlic bread on the side. Now, let's be clear: this is a soul food establishment, not a Caribbean kitchen, and that distinction was definitely present in the flavor profile. Everything was pretty tasty and the portions were solid, but it wasn't the best Jerk I've ever encountered. The sauce had some life to it, but if you're looking for that authentic island heat that makes you see colors, this isn't that. It's a soulful take on a fusion dish, and it does the job well enough for a mid-week craving. Overall, the vibes were straight and the food was good. It's a reliable spot to keep in the rotation when you want a heavy plate and want to keep your dollars in the community. I'll probably stick to the more traditional staples next time I slide through, but I walked out satisfied.

    LONG BUT HONEST REVIEW…read more For starters let me say I had high hopes for Ms. V's Kitchen as I'm a soul food fanatic and love to find gems in my area. The first time I ordered through DoorDash I spent $40 and got the turkey wings (they were good but dry & could've used some more seasoning to my taste), mac & cheese & candied yams with a fruit punch to drink. I was most excited about the mac & yams only to find out via my Dasher that she 'ran out of yams' and I had to choose a substitute. It says online they open from 11am-11pm but in fact they open at 3pm and close at 11pm. I placed my order at 5pm. Not sure how she ran out of yams so quickly with so much of the rest of the day to go.. The Mac & potato salad was good and the fruit punch I loved!! They were very stingy w. the mac tho for what I paid. I was upset I didn't get my yams as well so I tried again the next day. THIS time I called at 11:36 am to find out if yams were being made, being that I only was going to order again if so. She told me personally she would start making the yams at 1pm & that they open at 3pm. I told her I paid a good amount & not for the small portion of side I had received. She assured me when I placed my order that day, she and her workers would make sure I get a much better portion along w. my yams. 3PM came as I already had my items in the cart ready to place my order. I tried to when DoorDash told me I could only place a timed order as Ms. V wasn't opening until 4:15 pm. I didn't know if that was a mistake or what was going on so I called not 1, not 2, but 3 times and none of my calls were answered. I then waited until they finally opened at 4:15pm and immediately placed my order. I was excited bc I knew I was told I would not only get my yams that day but also a better side portion. I ordered the baked chicken (very dry but def more seasoned) instead of turkey wings this time with the same side items and drink. My order arrived around 5:48 pm & the dasher that I get placed w. quite frequently dropped my food off. I opened it to see I was now given 2 sides of Mac w. not a yam in sight. Frustrated I called back to the restaurant at 5:51pm. Ms V spoke to me & told me she not only called me but had the dasher call me as well to tell me the yams 'weren't done yet' & she didn't want me to wait any longer for my order so she substituted mac for the yams. I did not receive ANY of those calls from either party nor did my dasher mention anything of the sorts when he dropped my food off. That specific dasher has texted me many times whenever an issue comes up with an order I have, so to hear that she AND the dasher both called me multiple times w. no answer on my end I do not believe. I was annoyed bc I not only called in the MORNING to ask about the yams BEFORE I placed my order, but was told they would be started at 1pm only for it to be almost 6pm and supposedly they weren't finished yet. The whole reason I ever placed a second order was specifically for the yams I didn't receive the first time. Ms. V apologized and offered to make it up to me by saying she would give me another meal & drink ON HER.. WITH the yams I didn't get for sure. I work at night so I asked when she would be able to fulfill her promise. She asked at first if I could pick up from her restaurant as I told her I couldn't bc my car would be gone after 6pm. She then said not to worry she will deliver my meal PERSONALLY when she got a chance. I couldn't leave the gap of not knowing the time so I asked if it would be late bc I couldn't do late! I work at night. She said NO and to give her about 2hrs (so around 7pm-ish) Hours went by. I tried to be lenient & gave her some extra time bc I thought she may have gotten busy. I didn't receive any update, no call or text so I texted her at 9:50pm. I didn't get a reply back until 10:51 PM... NINE MINUTES BEFORE CLOSING with only the words "on the way now". I was highly upset as this is not what I agreed to, there was little to no poor communication on her end and I was already at work. I called 4/20/21 at 1:22pm for my final time. She answered and I asked if I'd be able to get the plate she promised. She responded w. "ooooh Ana I sent that order out the other night and it was kind of a waste bc you weren't there". I immediately almost choked bc the audacity and explained to her that what she did was send out an order at almost 11pm & not the time she told me. Again this time she said she still had my order in her texts and phone from the last time and that she would have my meal delivered but did not apologize. The ENTIRE day has went and gone. I never heard from her again. She did not deliver the meal she promised for the third time. Ms. V did not value me as a customer nor appreciate my business so I will take it elsewhere.
