This hidden gem is a great carryout spot for your evening cravings of soul. I order the fried…read moreshrimp with parmesan fries and their Lamb chops with Green beans and collards. Aye, I WAS HORNGRY, and food is my coping mechanism. In short here are my tidbits:
Pros(ish)
* FOOD. If you don't work out or have a decent system, you may need to plan your trips here. Their food can be habit forming. EVERYTHING is well seasoned. Those PARMESAN FRIES are RIDICULOUS. You can almost taste the calories. The GARLIC MASH POTATOES are not from a box-somebodys grandmama is back there getting it in!!! The collard greens are, ummm, how can I put this, anglo-friendly(no offense). Ya know, cooked but very light (if any) seasoning. The green beans make up for what the collards didnt have( Lord, did they make up). SHIRMP was seasoned to perfection. 2pts
* CUSTOMER SERVICE. Don't judge a book by its cover. In this city, I've found customer service to be below par, HOWEVER, my experience was excellent. The gentleman who took my order was polite, clear, and on point with how long it would take. SET THE EXPECTATION. BEAT THE EXPECTATION. 3pts
* CASH APP. Yes, this small establishment accepts cash app. Why can't others get on board, IJS. 1pt
Cons(ish)
* The LAMB was good, but in the order you only get two, so unless you're craving lamb try something more on the soul side to get a bigger bang for your buck. Also, I should've asked for them at a medium, they were cooked, well. Also the rice was a bit moist. Flavors were all there, and trust me, there was nothing left, nothing. -1
* The eve I went, there wasn't much of a crowd and it didn't look like a dine in set up(though inward told by a friend they did) -.5
* Their card machine was down, BUT, they accept cash app. And even in the midst of this (crisis...I kid), the gent was quick to counter and offer other guest solutions, who didn't have cash app (don't ask me how someone doesnt). -.5
Overall, food was good and my pockets didn't feel like they we're taken advantage of(except for the lamb). If they add an 2 lamb chops to the meal I think they'll be almost there...
