It did get busier by the time we left All of us enjoyed exploring the menu and talking about all the choices Everyone found something they really enjoyed.

We will come again!

First off, it wasn't clear to me until I got there that this was takeout only. Yelp has separate…read moreentries for Carmi Soul Food and Carmi Express, and I thought they were separate outlets. That it was takeout only presented a dilemma for me, as I was just visiting the North Side for the day by bus and foot, and had no place to take my order. Of the two people behind the counter, one could not have cared less about my dilemma, but the other was of some help with this and my order. I wound up walking two blocks downhill to a park with benches. Second, that all orders are cooked to order and take 25 minutes. Fortunately there is a branch of the Pittsburgh Public Library across the street and it was open, so that occupied my time. The food: the chicken and catfish are fried in light crispy breading, very fine. The chicken wingettes were delicious. The catfish was not easily flaked and was ever so slightly rubbery, which would have been a very bad sign if it had been any more so. But it wasn't too bad. Green beans are a good side dish at this sort of joint, and these were good, seasoned with meat and sautéed onions mixed in. The white rice was entirely plain but tasty.

I ordered from them today since I was craving soul food and I'm glad I placed the order here! I was a little hesitant due to past events, but totally satisfied and pleased with everything! This time around, I ordered the family meal special. The one I ordered came with fish, wings, and 2 sides (I got Mac and cheese and greens). I also ordered loaded fries, but they sent a loaded potato instead (totally fine I like baked potatoes). Everything was amazing! The quality and taste were superb and the food was still fresh and hot upon delivery. I'm cool with the replacement instead of just not sending anything in it's place if they're out of what I ordered. Also, the only other suggestion would be to include a larger size option for the sides for the family meal special. The meal could feed 3 comfortably though and still have food leftover. I would say at max it could feed 5. Love it and will frequent in the future!

I was a little disappointed my 3 piece dark meat didn't come with a thigh but thats ok. The white cheddar grits were well cooked. I wasn't a huge fan of the flavor but that might just be white cheddar. Hubs had the chicken BLT that had a great flavor from the chicken breading and other sauces. The bread was super crispy and perfectly golden brown. Stop by if you're in the area and need a yummy quick meal!

It is also difficult to find vegetarian dishes. I had the Chicken BLT sandwich; it was tasty, but a bit greasy. Their beer and cocktail selection is great. I would say this is a great place for drinks and watching a sports game, but it is less suited for a dinner event.

I'm a fan of fried catfish and okra and it's pretty darn good eating considering we're north of the Mason Dixon line. I'm someone who tends to only eat certain foods at certain places but it's pretty good here, and the prices are comparable to what you'd pay at establishments that serve the same things. My usual go to is the 3 piece fried catfish and fried okra (fries come automatically), along with a cup of cole slaw. My appetite is usually big anyways, but there are times when I have leftovers due to the amount of food. It's nothing fancy, satisfying enough for me when I have a taste for fried food, and that's what matters.

Place is an absolute shit hole on the inside. Given the location with the exterior and surrounding…read morebuildings it's not a surprise. Each time I've went inside the people always seemed annoyed. But oh my god is that chicken bomb. They deep fry the whole check wing so the flat and drum are attached. It's very greasy so if you got a sensitive stomach be careful. They then load it with a homemade dry ranch seasoning that makes this even better Now. It's 3/5 because 1.) I don't like fried chicken much to begin with. Only when I really want to hate myself I want it and this is the spot for it 2.) Service and inside both shit I would really recommend this spot but def a different location, all taste the same

I am a fish and chips connoisseur, and this is definitely a top 2 fish and chips of all time. The fish was fresh, flaky, and the batter on the outside was perfectly golden and crispy.

My only complaints were that the tartar sauce could have had more pickles/acidity in it, and they forgot my hot sauce which costed extra. This meal made me want to click my heels together and say pip pip cheerio. Highly recommend.
