    When I arrived, I only saw one person at the counter, who I believe was the owner. As I walked in, two customers were leaving with their takeout orders. There were several customers ahead of me, and the owner appeared to be both taking orders and making small talk. After waiting a few minutes, it seemed like it might take at least an hour to place my order and receive my food. I assume the food is good, but I'm unsure if I'll be back in the area anytime soon.

    Only stopped by for a to-go order. Great service but the food is everything! Very flavorful, and we got good portions. Will return!

    I got too much food for 2 people. This review is moreso for the food, since i ordered to go. I paid about 45 bucks, and we had left overs for another meal. We ended up getting a 3 meat platter and another 2 meat platter. Each platter comes with your choice of two sides. after trying four different sides, i would highly recommend getting the collard greens & sweet yams. Don't get the mac and cheese as it was lacking in flavor. For the meats, they were smoked well and were bursting with flavor. we also got corn bread, and that was amazing. I wanted the jalapeno cornbread, but they told me they didn't have any at the time. Out of all the meats, the sausage was the best. The interior is fairly run down and there were not a lot of seats inside. it also felt grimy inside, and the food was kinda sticky/definitely greasy. They also have charging stations for EVs, but believe you'll need to pay for it.

    Excellent service! I went in for a meal today. I had passed by but never stopped, today I came in and I don't regret it. The meat is so tender and flavorful! The smokiness is perfection! I'll definitely be back. Such a hidden gem! The nachos were delicious!!

    Got a to go order from here and was pleasantly surprised with the amount of good and the taste. I love to grill and this bbq chicken was cooked very well. The cabbage was also delicious and the mac n cheese was creamy. Will definitely be back for another big box to go order.

    Found this place on the "Too good to go" app, if you are not familiar please look it up. Definitely a great way to try new places! But the customer service was great, the staff was very friendly. We got 2 of the same surprise bags which consisted of the cabbage, spaghetti and macaroni. Most of the stuff we received I didn't see on the menu. The rib tip and hot link plate was $30 by itself and it wasn't much. The food was bland. The cabbage was sweet. The meat didn't have any seasonings but the hot links were good and spicy. It wasn't my favorite I personally wouldn't return for the food itself. This place is a literal hole in the wall. The customers in the building were raving about the food so i highly recommend everyone try it for themselves.

    A great local, family-owned soul food and bbq! Love their bbq, but I dream about the corn bread and fried okra. I recently picked up an order - part of the No Food Waste program from Granny's Soul Food (#TooGoodToGo). For about $6, I received a slice of meatloaf, some smoked sausage, a fried drumstick, corn and mashed potatoes. Everything tasted SO delicious! Perfectly seasoned without being over salted, the meats were all juicy (OMG, the meatloaf!!! YUM!!!). 1. I love that Rosako's is part of the No Food Waste initiative. Instead of throwing out perfectly good food, this gives people a chance to try something, or pick up items at a discount. 2. The food I ordered today is a bit different from what I've ordered from Rosako's - this was a fun introduction to another very good soul food point of view. 3. I LOVE that Rosako's has a program where you can buy a meal for a veteran (there are so many who can't afford a meal...everyone deserves a hot meal and a place to feel embraced and appreciated). If you are able to pay it forward I encourage you to do so . I'll definitely be returning to Rosako's (and Granny's) using the #TooGoodToGo app as well as going in to support this local business and ordering off their menu.

    I'm officially done with this dude's business over the past three years since I discovered this restaurant the food is always hit or miss and it's been a miss more times than I hit. I'm so tired of dealing with his horrible business ethics he always is giving you either fresh food or old food and you can taste it and you can see it. This is such a horrible business. This is not how you run your business and then of course the portions have gotten smaller for the same amount of money but worse food. I'm officially done ordering here. Definitely have to find somewhere else to eat. Get it together! You can see in pictures and reviews over the years how bad it is now then he'll just send you whatever through delivery apps I ordered rib tips not ribs look at the difference!

    Rib tips

    This has got to be one of the best BBQ places I've had in a minute. The rib tips fall off the bone and the sides especially the mac n cheese is actually seasoned ! Unlike other BBQ places . I give this place a 10/10 . Plus Al is really nice . I've definitely been a frequent customer since trying it the first time '! Keep up the great work & seasonings

    Have been meaning to leave review from the few times I have been. Food is amazing and staff always treats you right. Thanks for such an amazing experience, good environment, and even better food.

    To me what's more important is the picture of the after effects.   Speaks volumes of this amazing place.

    My favorite piece of fried chicken is the wing. Not buffalo wings, just fried chicken wings. I read…read moreother Yelp* review of Juicy's, and was dying to try it, so I checked their hours and headed over around 2PM in the afternoon. When I arrived, there were no cars in the parking lot and it looked closed. I went up to the front door to see if there was a note but all that was posted there were their normal hours. Based on that, they were supposed to be open. Not a good start. I posted about this on Facebook, saying it looked like they were closed for good. A friend of ours replied the next day that she had moved down the street from Juicy's and she saw the restaurant open for business that day. I headed over again and they were open. Soul Food, Comfort Food, Home Cooking, whatever you want to call it, that's what they're serving at Juicy's with a large side of FRIENDLINESS. I grew up in south Texas, so a bowl of pinto beans with a piece of cornbread is a meal I love to this day. However, I was craving chicken, so I ordered the chicken plate (you can specify 4 wings) with mashed potatoes w/brown gravy and pinto beans (of course). Have you noticed that most dining out today is underwhelming? It seems to me the restaurants are using cheaper ingredients. Everything tastes bland. BUT NOT AT JUICY'S! The meal hit the spot for me. The wings are "whole wings," meaning there are no "drums" and "flats." Each wing at Juicy's is BOTH PARTS. It's the whole wing! I was full after just three but Bonnie grabbed the last one to "keep it from going to waste." (I think she was keeping it from going to MY waist...) The beans reminded me of my mom's pinto beans. The brown gravy on the potatoes reminded me of my grandmother's gravy at Thanksgiving. The cornbread was almost like cake. Even the music was great, featuring R&B and blues. We found ourselves humming along to the music as we feasted on the food. We're definitely going back.

    This place is absolutely fantastic. I found it while trying to find some shrimp tacos and somehow…read morethey showed up in the algorithm. Thank god it did. I must say my absolute favorite is the fried chicken those wings hit a part of my soul that hasn't been explored since my grandma was making chicken. Not to be out done the pork chops and the turkey wings were absolutely amazing. Don't sleep on the sides as those greens and yams are all seasoned great so I know somebody at least in their late 40's back there with some blessed hands. With this being my second trip in 2 days there's no doubt I will be returning fairly often to try the other dishes. What a great find PS Don't forget to get some Kooliad.

We had the pleasure of meeting Nana herself. Me and my mom enjoyed speaking with her. She was pleasant and friendly. I loved how she was very down to earth. My mom took a photo with her. My server was the sweetest and most polite person. She checked on me and my mom multiple times. She was friendly and helpful. So I must say my service was welcoming and AMAZING! I felt like part of the family! Now it's not a fancy place, but it was clean and cozy. Like a mom and pops place. Condiments are provided on the table. Even roses that were real are in a vase. You can dine in or they have a carry out side. Well I chose fish since that's what I wanted. The 2 piece filet meal comes with 2 sides. They will bring your food out in a plastic container. So if you have left overs it's already set to go. The food came out hot and fresh. The fish was fried nicely. I wish it was seasoned a bit more for my liking. It was pretty good though. It was a great size and again fried to perfection. The hush puppies were really tasty. The fried corn fritter was delicious. The pickled tartar sauce was unique and I loved it. OMG the cabbage was so DAMN GOOD! This stole the show. It was cooked perfectly and seasoned with love. It touched my soul and I wanted to lick my container. The Mac and Cheese was a NO for me. It was like black pepper and cheese sauce. It was just blah and II didn't even eat it. However, others may like it, but it wasn't that great. Sorry Nana! Overall I had a good visit! I will definitely come back and EAT when in the area. The cabbage won me over. I left feeling happy and full. The southern hospitality was FANTASTIC!

Craving fried chicken and decided to head to Juicys Soul Food and learned they had closed....uggggh. Not to be deterred discovers Linda's Soul Food to go and called to inquire if they had fried chicken. They did. Yahoooo. Off we went. Upon arrival and as we entered this little gem I just admit I was worried. It was dead and appeared only one person was working. We learned they only had 4 meat offerings, fried chicken, fried pork chops, meatloaf and fried catfish. We were a bit disappointed when we learned they only had wings and legs for the fried chicken but moved on and placed an order. I had the fried chicken legs, collard greens, fried cabbage and Mac n cheese. She opted for the fried pork chops and Mac n cheese. The serving size are huge. 3 legs, 3 pork chops. Sides are plentiful. Are you ready? Absolutely delicious. The fried pork chops were the best we have ever had out. The Fried chicken was equally as good. HOT. JUICY. Soooo good.

That statement confused me because it was Saturday around noon and the couple had to wait for someone to come unlock the door which implied that they were just opening. The couple inquired about options other than fried and was told that meatloaf was it. One asked if there was pork in the sides. Her response was "no pork at all" and the lady said, " Except the fried pork chops, right?" Well, as you see from the photo, there's pork in the greens. I ordered fried pork chops with mac & cheese, yams, and collard greens which came with cornbread. The only other side listed was cabbage. Lemon pound cake was the dessert offered. I was told my order should be ready in about 20 minutes. I left and went to Starbucks up the street and came back about 30 minutes later and he was putting my order into the bag. I want to preempt by saying give this place a try and see what you think. You may have a different experience. There is construction being done on the street in front of the establishment, FYI. I personally did not enjoy the taste of the food. The yams were okay, but again, the taste just wasn't there for me. The cashier did say that they've only been open a year so maybe it's a work in progress.
