    Berry lemonade super good but kinda small
    Riss G.

    Holy crap this place is BOMB. Ono for southern food and the wahiawa place was close. You need military ID to get on. They are located near the PX. My entire plate was Frigging awesome. Ordered a combo plate and the lemonade. The lemonade was so good perfect sweetness and actual berries inside, but I thought the size was too small for the price of $3. About that food. Dang it's so good. Ordered the 2 choice combo with fried chicken and catfish 2 sides and cornbread...greens were awesome! The chicken and catfish super tasty and cooked perfectly. Plate was $19 and could easily feed 2 people. Maybe 3. But that cornbread was the showstopper! I could eat that out of garbage bag it's so darn good.

    Recently I visited HAFB and was lucky enough to run across the Sae's Hot Plates food truck. Southern cuisine is my favorite and they offer many instances of it on their menu. I had the catfish plate and chose Mac and cheese as my side. The menu price was $16 but I ended up paying over $30 for basically a plate of Mac and cheese and 1 catfish (two halves/ fillets). It was rather expensive for the amount of food. Nothing really jumps out about the fish or the Mac but they were solid, but maybe I tried the wrong item. The service was decent and the delicious berry lemonade wasn't even on the menu. The berry lemonade tasted like the koolaid people make in the southern continental United States! It was certainly perfect. If you have time to wait, aren't a penny pincher, don't care for large main portions, and enjoy koolaid, this is your place! I'll go back whenever I see them! Check it out and let me know what you think!

    The food is good and always hot but they are really slow. I waited an hour for food. I used most of my break just waiting.

    I don't know how I haven't heard of this place, yet after trying it out for the first time, my…read moreexpectations seem to have changed a lot after the visit. It was a pretty good first time visit despite the very small seating in the restaurant. And now the food... I had to pick between the BBQ sliders and the Chicken biscuits and gravy. And, for the price, they definitely gave me a good amount of chicken in correlation to the biscuit. The bites I got from the chicken and the southern gravy were really delicious. Eating the chicken with the biscuit and the gravy, a lot more pleasant there. I didn't really need the Louisiana style hot sauce. Chicken, spot on and crispy...the biscuit, light, delicate and soft... There's not really much I can find a complaint on, and the presentation looked so inviting to eat. I can definitely tell they put so much heart and soul into their food, and it comes out presented well. Next time, maybe I can try the BBQ sliders if I ever come across this place again. Thanks, Southern Love, you really made my day.

This is the furthest from fast food, and you cannot come here with the expectation of fast food. I enjoyed the best fried chicken in my life here. Freshly battered and fried. Accompanied by a beautiful potato salad, collard greens, and a tasty piece of cornbread. I would order an entire pan of that cornbread if I could. And you should definitely get a side of that potato salad. My boyfriend enjoyed their mixed plate which had rib ribs and a few other items, but I was too concentrated on my food to care about what he was eating. We came around 6 PM on a Saturday night and were served our food just after 7 PM. We were incredibly lucky because while we were sitting at the counter, we saw numerous parties try to come in to dine in, and there was no space available. Takeout is always an option, but you still need to wait for your takeout so be patient, walk around to the Sake shop down the street and come back in an hour to pick up your piping hot food. Parking is extremely limited so pray to the parking gods that you score a stall in front of the restaurant or try your luck on the street and take a short walk down.

With just a bite of heat, all the flavors complimented each other each. The rice and sides were perfectly presented; it was as appetizing as delicious.

My second visit was this past Thursday for the Maker & Tasters Ramenagogo event, so my bf and I tried their creole saimin. We were both very dissapointed. Our food came out cold, so we asked them to reheat it. From the time we arrived to the time we left was almost an hour because it took FOREVER for them to make the food each time. Also, it didn't taste that good. They were nice enough to comp us bourbon bread pudding since we were dissatisfied--that was really yummy (nice and gooey, not too sweet)! We noticed another customer was waiting forever too, so he asked to be comped a bread pudding. My advice: only come here if you're willing to wait.

    Takeout dinner from Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. Heaven's Soul Food Cuisine (food truck) was two trucks away from Chicano's taco truck, across from the Convention Center. We were right there, so I ordered a Smoked BBQ Rib plate. It came with 2 sides. We chose Baked beans and Green beans with smoked turkey. Service was very friendly and efficient! I believe that they worker said, "I appreciate you!" Wow! That's very nice of him! We took the plate home (it was too windy to sit alongside the busy sidewalk) and discussed the tasty ribs, sweet (molasses?) Baked beans and yummy green beans with smoked turkey. Mmm!

Unfortunately, they were out of collard greens, so ended up ordering a fried catfish plate with Mac & cheese and green beans. Man, I don't know if it was because I was hungry, but this was one of the best classic Mac and cheeses I had in a long time, and by far the best green beans I had. The catfish was freshly fried after ordering and was perfectly cooked and seasoned. At $26 per plate it is a little pricey, but it was about a meal and a half and the taste was excellent. I would suggest calling ahead to see what they're out of and to ensure you don't have to wait.

It's the Southern atmosphere that makes the place unique on Oahu, there's no other place similar. A big part of that atmosphere is the music selection. In the past they've usually played Southern Rock and Country, or at least had it in the mix. The past year or so though, every time I go in, it's hip hop or pop on the sound system. I can go to dozens of other establishments on Oahu and hear that plus get decent food. A big part of why I go to DG, is not to hear that! Bartenders join is fine if there's nobody in the place, please bring back the Country music when there's customers, or at least get an electric juke box, so we can mix it up a little.
