Hands down the best fried chicken and ox tail I've had since the hay days of Browns chicken (IYKYK). Had to drive 25+ minutes to get there and by the time I made it home with my 12 piece & ox tail it was the perfect temp! Tried sneaking a piece on the way back but it was still crazy hot and fresh! And even the chicken breast was plenty moist when I got home and commenced. Also the cornbread was super moist and has plenty of flavor! Mac and cheese wasn't half bad seriously some of the better Mac I've had in a bit as well. I think I've found my new spot 10/10, I highly recommend this place!

Our server was great and the manager came by while we were eating to ask how things were and see if we needed anything. Only thing with server was I did ask 3 times for more water, would have been nice if he just saw and refilled. We started with the hush puppies and meatballs. The hush puppies came with a really interesting sauce. The cheese, flavor and texture were great. The chicken meatballs were good also had a nice sauce. I got the 4pc Pressure Fried Chicken sub collard greens for Mac n cheese to share. They nicely split the meal on two separate plates for us. The fried chicken was really good with a delicious crispy breading. The biscuit and Mac n cheese were alright. The Mac n cheese was nothing special at all. The mashed potatoes and gravy were good, potato skins mixed in. Enjoyed the food and variety of options!

Sports bar with at least 8 tvs. A big draft list... it's Milwaukee after all Service was friendly and attentive. I got here late afternoon so it was pretty empty. All the attention on me. Wide variety of liquor too. Only Monte Alban Mezcal. It's the one with the worm and i got the worm. It's going to be a good day. The wings are expensive, literally $2/piece and these are wing parts, not whole. The thing is... they are friggin delicious. Perfectly crispy, perfectly seasoned and the little grill marks on a fried wing .chefs kiss. I'd come back just for the expensive and delicious wings. No doubt! I had the 2 meat plate. Turkey and st Louis ribs. Flavorful and tender. They had about 5 sauces to try. Oddly i liked the white Alabama. Don't judge me. The cole slaw was different. Vinegar and dill forward. I wouldn't get again. The Bacardi beans was ok. The struggle was that i don't eat other people's Mac and cheese nor potato salad unless it has been vetted. Too many variations. I'd highly recommend the wings and the meats. Maybe stay safe and get a salad and some dirty rice. I'd come back... for the wings! Def don't sauce them, like they said. It don't need it and you want to taste all the flavors.

The ribs were good and had a nice smoky flavor, but personally I think I prefer my ribs grilled over smoked. The baked beans were decent, but lowkey felt like they were missing a little something. The mac & cheese was easily the best part of the meal though: creamy, cheesy, and the side I'd come back for. It also came with two slices of bread and plenty of sauce options to try. 3/5 Good BBQ spot if you're into smoked meats, but for me the mac & cheese stole the show.

I was visiting a friend in Milwaukee and got a seafood boil craving so we came here for a weekend…read moredinner. It was busy but not packed, like 70-80% full. I ordered one of the combos and added mussels on the side which I highly recommend. Got the mixed sauce with no heat because spicy food is not my thing, and it was still super flavorful. The snow crab was the standout for me, so good so juicy! Shrimp is a classic must, potatoes and corn were yummy, and the mussels were 10/10. Also, the corn bread was A+++!! If you can't do spicy or just don't like heat, don't let that stop you from coming here because you can still have a great meal. Price point is also really reasonable especially if you're sharing. The setup for taking food to go is easy and convenient, and there's a hand washing station in the middle of the restaurant which is practical. Only heads up is parking can be tricky on weekends so just plan for that. Workers were super friendly. Would definitely come back.

The place had a steady flow of walk in and delivery with some items sold out 12:30 ish already. Service was fast and friendly with no issues. This is cafeteria style and not cooked to order with everything in a steam/hot table counter.I would do the fried chicken, greens, backed Mac and cheese with a corn bread muffin. The muffin had a good corn flavor but it was that dry corse saw dust texture, I prefer the moist cakey kind but it was still good. The greens were chunk stems and leafs that was not seasoned very well but still good. The backed Mac and cheese had a nice cheese flavor in a creamy sauce with pasta cooked past Al dente and on the mushy side, the bites with the backed cheese on top were the tastiest. My fried chicken was a leg, thigh and a wing. My first thought was that this fried chicken was seasoned very well. As expected from a hot table pre cooked it wasn't crispy/hot like fresh from the oil. It wasn't super moist and neither dry, something in the middle tender chicken. Overall I enjoyed my soul food lunch and I can see why it's a popular place.

I didn't get any pictures because I ate it right away, it was that good. My family member picked up the order for me, and while the food was excellent, they mentioned the cashier wasn't very welcoming or friendly, which was disappointing. Everyone has off days, but great customer service makes a big difference, especially when the food is this good. This was still one of the best soul food meals I've had in Milwaukee, and I'll definitely be back to give it another try. Once I'm able to visit in person, hopefully I can recover a different type of service that matches how amazing the food is. Overall the food was a 4.5/5 and the service was a 2/5.

It was a generous serving of pulled pork and was tasty. Baked potato could have been a bit warmer, but overall everything was good. Service was very attentive and pleasant.
