There was no one to greet you, I think this is mostly a take out place on the weekdays. I go into the back where I see a buffet looking area, before that i see that there are two papers on the wall. A price for in-dining, per lb and a price for take out. There is a young man there and I tell him I'm eating in. He takes a plate, and loads it which what I want. It's a shame its by per lb, because there were so many good item so to try, but I could only put so much on the plate. I got greens, yams, black eyed peas, bbq chicken leg and mac n cheese and jerk spaghetti. The food was overall good and I loved the jerk spaghetti and bbq chicken leg the best. I wanted to try some other stuff but I wasn't going to pay another $20 something for it.

*I did not dine at the restaurant*…read more My review is based on my job ordering Mama Sheila's for a BHM luncheon. They ordered bbq chicken, smothered chicken, meatloaf, mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, green beans & cornbread. If i'm being honest none of the food looked appetizing in the serving trays so I was already skeptical. I've always kind of heard mixed reviews about MS but it was still on my list to check it out. My job allowed us 1 meat option, 1 side + green beans and cornbread. I got the bbq chicken and it was sitting in a watery bbq sauce (which was explained by a coworker serving it as it's a bbq gravy?) I got the baked mac and cheese, which a soul food restaurant should be able to deliver... it was just salty! The cheese burnt on top was inedible and it overall it wasn't good. The cornbread was really dry. Overall not good.

I found this…read moreplace on Yelp, but there weren't many recent photos, reviews, or an updated menu, so I decided to give them a try--and I'm so glad we did! I called to ask about their hours and whether I could place a to-go order. The lady who answered was incredibly kind and patient. This was our first time ordering, and I sent my husband to pick it up. We didn't realize they were actually located inside the Burnsville Mall food court because the address online led him somewhere else. He called, and the same sweet lady happily explained where they were. Even though we ordered about 30 minutes before closing, they were so understanding and never made us feel rushed. We ordered the catfish meal, KO sauce chicken wings, beef rib tips, and banana pudding. The fried catfish was BUSSIN'. Even after a 30-minute drive home, it was still hot and crispy! The KO sauce wings were delicious too, and next time we definitely want to try the lemon pepper flavor. My two favorites were the beef rib tips and the banana pudding. The rib tips were so tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. And the banana pudding? Oh my goodness... I'm drooling just thinking about it while writing this review. It even came with a cookie on top! My baby girl was kicking the whole time--I think she approved too. The meals also came with collard greens and mac and cheese, and both were tasty sides that completed the meal. Most of all, thank you to the owners for waiting for us to pick up our food right at closing time. Your kindness and customer service meant a lot, especially for first-time customers. If you're craving comforting soul food, don't let the lack of online photos stop you. This hidden gem is absolutely worth checking out, and we'll definitely be back!

The greens were cooked to perfection and I got hot sauce to put on top because it made it even better. I licked my fingers like a child after polishing all of the chicken off the bone. I don't like Mac n cheese but they make a good Mac and cheese! This is saying a lot because I HATE Mac n cheese but wanted to see if they could change my mind. The drink selection is amazing and they are canned so you know they are and not from a dirty old machine. The special sauce I got on the side per recommendation was hands down one of the best dipping sauces I have ever had. The banana pudding was amazing and smooth! I will be back and if you haven't been here I highly recommend it!

All orders are don'e electronically and then you are sent a text to track it. Food is given to you in a bag, all food is in take out containers. They had a couple tables to sit at. I highly suggest if you order from here, you get it to go or through Uber eats or something. Unfortunately I was visiting and I took an uber there, so I sat and ate there. I love southern cooking, this food was okay, not incredible, My pork chop had a good flavor and the gravy was delicious, but the pork chop itself was very chewy. I could not cut it with the plastic knife I was given. I got collard greens and although it was a different flavor than what I was expecting, they were very good , I would order them again, they had a great flavors. My other side was corn bread. It was ordinary, not great nor bad. Came in a cupcake paper. On a scale from 1-5, I give the pork chop a 3, the collard greens a 5, and the corner bread a 3. No bathrooms, no extra napkins, no water, ...my container leaked gravy all over me when I took it out of the bag. I was a mess and with no rags or napkins. I want to give this place a good rating, I want them to succeed. If you want to try, only get it Togo and preferably idelivered.

My dinner was especially good....the chicken fried perfectly...all dark meat the way I like it. The potato salad was not what I expected but I was pleasantly surprised. I'm used to a mayo based potato salad but this was even better with lots of flavor! The corn was also delicious. Everyone was very happy with their dinners. The chicken and waffle dish was also good. Ratio of breading to chicken was perfect and perfectly seasoned. The honey butter that came with it was also delicious. The New Orleans shrimp bowl was great too. The ratio of shrimp, which was perfectly cooked, to rice was good. Lots of great flavor. I think that everyone in our party enjoyed what they ordered. The only "ding" would be the service. We had to ask for silverware so we could eat and had to wait for straws because she forgot. I'm still going to give it 5 stars even though the service was lacking a bit. She was very nice but seemed rushed.

The waitress was extremely helpful for drink suggestions and dishes to try which is a plus for me! Knowledge of your best cuisines is definitely a plus! The response time to get a waiter was a bite longer than I expected but that was ok since it was happy hour. So I ordered the hurricane drink, fried green tomatoes, half bird with sweet potatoes and collards. I'll just right into my experience, the drink was 12/10 for sure! Not much to say on it except perfect. The fried green tomatoes were good just needed to be hot! The grits arrived like warm at best, but still a decent bite. The half bird (4 piece fried chicken) was extremely hot and juicy!!! I can't complain about that, the sides however could've used a little more attention. The sweet potatoes lacked so much potential due to them being puréed the only sweet portion came from the marshmallows and pecans which I wasn't a fan of. The collards were decent, needed a pinch or 2 of salt. Overall I would come again though to try different items. Just apply a little more love in the kitchen in regard to the seasoning and the dishes would be fire!!!!! Happy Yelping

I suggested Soya Soul. I knew he would like the food. We got there around d 5:25 and ordered by 5:33. We went and sat down waiting for our food. We sat and waited all the while people were coming in and out picking up food. After what seemed like forever I got up and went to check on my food. The person came to the counter and didn't have our tickets. She asked for our receipts,we gave them to her and she SD they would have my sons food out right away the ordered fish. She said to me we are out of chicken I told her you had chicken when I ordered and paid for my food, just give me my money back. My sons food was ok,they ran out of corn bread,they gave him 2 end pieces of bread and 2 small fillets. We were very disappointed in this place and will not be back. They did not offer anything for their mistake that would make me want to come back. I won't be back and I will still say the chicken is good but the customer service needs work and work on making things right when you make a mistake and your customer has been sitting there for an hour waiting for food that never came.
