    Amazing salmon & collards!
    Dolores A.

    Couldn't wait to give this place a try! We walked in to a hello from an employee sitting having her lunch in the dining area. The place is very clean, bright & nicely decorated. The young lady behind the register was on the phone taking an order so we wandered around checking out the menu & food behind the counters. There was a vegan side & a non vegan side, a wall of prepared individually wrapped desserts and a refrigerated area of cold drinks. All the drinks looked inviting but were all full of sugar. I wish there was a non sugar or low calorie choice other than water. Ten minutes in and our cashier/waitress was still on the phone. (And no acknowledgment/or hello, I'll be with you shortly) Finally, she was clear...so what do you want was her first comment to us. Disappointing. I asked about the fish, Basa no thank you. I ordered the salmon which included 2 spinach crab stuffed raviolis. It was delicious!! Three sides were included. Candied sweet potatoes, collards & mac n cheese were ALL OUTSTANDING!!! Best we've tasted around, including mine. The portions were nice to correlate with its $26 price. Hubby chose the fried chicken @$24 with 3 sides included. Garlic mashed (AMAZING), collards & mac n cheese! He ate it all & it was a lot! Yep, we'll be back! I'd love to meet the owner as much respect for her chef skills!

    Shrimp and grits, fish, sweet potato hash and bread pudding.

    I am now super convinced that New Jersey is bottom of the food list. Restaurant after restaurant is…read moresuch a vast disappointment here. So let's get into it... This place is prime for high blood pressure/diabetes outcome if you keep eating here. Yes soul food isn't the best type of food to always eat but if it is done right it literally fills your soul. This place did such the opposite. The salt content can defiantly be felt in ALL of their dishes. The fried chicken was crap (I can do much better myself at home) The Green's where decent but no where near the best I have had The Mac and Cheese was simple OK The potato salad, oh God the potato salad... tasted like sore bought and tried to doctor it up. Now my thoughts are if you are a soul food place and can't do potato salad right you just need to close down because this is not your calling. The fish.... I'll just leave it at that The green beans are so salty that they would take out a health gal badder with ease. The yams where the tastiest thing in the whole $100 plus I spent. Red velvet cake was ok. I had better at nothing but bunt cakes which is Sad. Long story short the service was great but I have had the great life of being able to taste good soul food and this wasn't it. But maybe it's just a Jersey thing... doesn't seem like this state has a high standard for taste.

    Let's start this off by saying this ISN'T a restaurant. I ordered online not knowing that the food…read moreis actually made in the kitchen of crappy apartments. Moving along, we ordered wings, fried chicken platter, and fried fish platter. We got 3 containers of wings. These wings had no flavor and were the cheapest cuts that looked torn up, didn't even resemble a proper wing. No platters of friend chicken, no fish. The chicken looked like it had seasoning on it, however all i tasted was greasy oil. They weren't that crispy to boot. The mac and cheese was horrendous, i could tell they used preshredded cheese. It also had very little flavor besides the butter dripping off it. The greens were completely mush, no consistency left at all, and loaded with a lb of salt. The potato salad had to be the worst, it was so bitter it made me pucker up. Full of mustard (think they used mustard in place of mayo) and relish. That was it, potatoes, mustard, and relish and it was nasty. I added some sugar to cut back that potent bitter vinegar flavor but to no avail. The sweet potatoes (yams) were almost good. I needed to add a little brown sugar, and break down the yams bc they were to big and they were good after that. I will never order from here again.

    We've been coming here since they opened and it still has the most flavorful food anywhere around…read more Not sure how we haven't posted yet ... but after reading the off reviews lately, it was about time. Tonight ... we absolutely loved our usual (tender) Brown Stew Chicken w. collard greens, (spicy) Jerk Chicken w. mac & cheese, and (yummy) Oxtails w. green beans. Containers are now a harder plastic and a bit smaller ... but at least they don't leak or get crushed like the foam ones from before. We thought everything tasted super fresh and our family really enjoyed it. There were also plenty of leftovers too. Since there's no dine in, only option is takeout with quick pickup via drive thru window - and yes, they take credit cards. We ordered ahead and food was ready when we got there. Owners are also really nice and remembered us even though we haven't been there in quite some time. We have to try to go back there again soon!

    I was a regular customer. Ate there weekly. Loved the jerk chicken. After Covid I ordered a large…read morefamily sized dinner. Now, mind you I was picking up in the drive through window, and this was well past ridiculous mask mandates. When I pulled up to pick up my order, the owner refused to open the window and give me my order unless I put a mask on. Not being a lunatic fanatic liberal, I didn't drive around with face diapers. I refused and haven't been back since
