Found Carlotta's online yesterday looking for Fried Fish locally. This establishment is…read moreapproximately 12 minutes from house. It's a local dive bar. It's tucked away in a residential neighborhood. When I walked in it felt comfortable. The vibe was your family friendly neighborhood locals. I sat at the bar to place my order. I like the friendly relaxed vibe, pool tables a live Dj on a Tuesday evening was a nice touch. I ORDERD THE FRIES WHITING PLATTER My sides were Mac n cheese and string beans. I also order 2 single whole Fried wings and a side of sweet potatoes. The fish was crispy not salty nice portion. The flavor was good not salty or greasy or over cooked very pleasant to the taste buds! I like it very much The yams had a lot of nutmeg, it overpowered the actual sweet potatoe taste if you like that.. The string beans, Mac and wings were good I paid $42.00 for the platter 2 wings a side of sweets and 2 drinks. My money went a long way here. I really enjoyed the food. This is a must try !!! You won't be disappointed. You might actually find your self back a second time because it's just that kind of vibe!!!

He showed me their grocery receipt where they get charged more post covid. I told him I get that plus location but it would've been better to keep pro menu sign as is an up Id give smaller portions (or pay for new pro sign), but handwritten upcharges just looks tacky and mean spirited. He said people complain if small portions. I said let them because they could order double if they think it small. He took it well which is more than I can say for many places with nasty attitide employees. Juice was quite sugary with a sour after taste and cup and lids are not conducive to bike riding. Food was tasty enough and this guy was nice.

I think the flavor profiles are sometimes contrasting but overtime you acquire the taste and it becomes pretty tasty. My soul eggroll was awesome but I wish the meat was just a little more flavorful. Overall it's a cool concept and I would be interested to try more on the menu.

Disappointed. The only really good item I had this time was the soul roll (mac n' cheese, bbq…read moresauce, collard greens in an egg roll). The sweet potato donuts were dark as opposed to the orange color when I last ordered them. They weren't totally burnt, so they were still edible and the same flavor, but they weren't as great as I remembered. The fried chicken fried rice was heavily seasoned with ginger, and ginger is potent. It overpowered the rice that already had a dry consistency. The chicken chunks were dry too. My first trip here, I recalled they were juicy and flavorful. This time some pieces were so dry that I could have choked. I hate wastefulness and wanted to eat more, but wound up tossing about a fourth of my container. My husband's wings had some kind of glaze but the wings themselves lacked seasoning. This all was about $30, so it wasn't a cheap eat at all to be tasting the way it did. My husband picked up the order and said the staff were cussing loudly, complaining about their pay while another staff member was on her phone. He was shocked by the lack of professionalism. He also said there was no soap in the bathroom for customers. This really surprised me because I thought the staff there was great when I last went and the facilities were prepped and clean. This feedback is not to be hurtful to the business, especially not a unique Black business like this that I want to see thrive. I am hopeful this is constructive for their team in order to improve service.

Today was an excuse to check in on my old haunt and see how things were going. Ordering was fast, and the food came out quickly to our table. I ordered the garlic soy sandwich, and my friend got the tacos. Honestly the chicken quality is great here-- crunchy, moist, not too saucy, and not overpoweringly flavorful as some other places are. I cleaned that plate and ended very satisfied. There are quite a few tables around for small and large groups. Things were pretty quite here during lunch time, so it's not too busy of a place that you won't be stuck waiting or crammed in. It's definitely busier at dinner time though!

The mac was creamy and cheesy, the yams were sweet and tender, and that fried fish? Perfectly crispy on the outside, flaky on the inside--exactly what I was craving. That said, the overall experience had some bumps. The wait time was pretty long, even though it wasn't super packed, and the staff didn't feel very friendly or welcoming. Not rude, just kind of... there. Service was okay, but definitely could've been warmer or more attentive. The location is pick up only, it's a nice space outside to wait but just prepare to wait and for the weather. Still, the food was strong enough to make me want to come back. If you're going for the flavors and comfort food, you won't be disappointed. Just don't expect top-tier service. I'd give it another shot--maybe on a less busy day!

My son and I got there around 11:20pm and they were packed up and closed for the night (even though the hours say they close at MIDNIGHT). We were hungry so went across the street to Lucky Star Food Market. This used to be a 7-Eleven many many years ago. I always see this market when I'm waiting for the 36 Trolley and never went inside until now. It's a nice little market with about anything you could think of inside. They also sell cooked food. My son and I decided to give the food a try. I ordered: Cheeseburger Platter with French Fries -- $5.50 Chicken Nugget Platter with French Fries -- $5.50 3 Chicken Wings -- $3.75 My order came to $14.75 and I also purchased two TastyKake products at $1.00 each and a bag of potato chips at $1.89 The cheeseburger platter was delicious even though the burger was larger than the bun it was on. They didn't use a frozen burger. The French Fries were not fried too hard. My son loved his chicken nugget platter, except they forgot his honey mustard on the side. The chicken wings were another story. They were rubbery and hard to pull apart to eat. They didn't look right. I'll stick to getting my chicken wings from Asian Cuisine near my mother's house. My son and I agreed that we would return if we every got hungry super late at night. This place is apparently open 24 hours. It's in the hood, so be careful.

I cannot wait to get back to Philly and try more from this restaurant. Job well done, guys. I will absolutely be back!

I contemplated coming here because of the mixed reviews but decided to form my own opinion…read more Unfortunately, I wasn't a fan of the food. The greens lacked flavor, the blackened catfish was overly salty and heavy on the sauce, and the seafood mac & cheese was underwhelming. The mashed potatoes were okay, and the cornbread was decent. My mother ordered the chicken breast platter and was disappointed enough to send it back. On the positive side, the host was awesome, the ambiance was nice, and our servers, the twin brothers, were attentive. For the chef, I think it may be worth revisiting some of the dishes and finding a better balance and consistency in flavor that appeals to a broader audience. I likely won't return, but I'd still encourage others to form their own opinion.
