The yams are unbelievable as well as the string beans--- with that said you can not go wrong at Hilda's. They also have a great staff friendly and loving people-- their food is definitely made with love.

This place is so incredibly good! I am actually very impressed with them. The prices are super…read morereasonable, portions are amazing (quite large), and the food quality is super high! I know I definitely need to try more items from here. I tried the linguine, Apple pie, and the sweet potato pie. The linguine was very clearly homemade and tasted delicious. The portion was very solid for just $5. They had numerous kinds of vegetables, like mini broccoli bits, tomatoes, and more. The oil was well seasoned and very tasty. Nice bit of acidity as well. Very good, and the pasta was cooked perfectly! Came in classic cold form like with pasta salads. The apple pie was again so good. They had huge pieces of apples in there. The crust was very well made. Not too sweet, and the "sweet sauce" portion of it was great as well. Amazing portion, nice homey taste. I have never tried sweet potato pie, but now I know it's actually very good! I didn't even order sweet potato pie, but they gave it to me for free, as it was just a few days after Thanksgiving. They are the best! This sweet potato pie wasn't too sweet and the portion was very large for the price! You get your own mini pie for $5. The inside is creamy and has the perfect level of sweetness. The outside provides a nice crisp for contrast. I love it! All in all, this place is simply awesome. They have lots of delicious items on the menu, and I can't wait to go back. Amazing desserts, great prices, great portions, fresh food, and great owners!

The ribs were very light skinned and I had to put them in the oven to cook them until they were done. Everything was extremely salty. The ribs and chicken didn't taste grilled at all. The turkey wings were sitting in old juice and wasn't worth getting. The Macaroni and cheese was nasty. It tastes like something sweet was in it. The greens were extremely salty as the green beans had no taste. The potato salad was very bland. This is not a place to try. The ambiance was dirty and dark lighting in the building .

That's an entree I share with the boyfriend because otherwise I'd just go crazy. The cornbread stuffing is one of the best things I've ever had in my life. I love that stuffed chicken so much too.

First off, it wasn't clear to me until I got there that this was takeout only. Yelp has separate…read moreentries for Carmi Soul Food and Carmi Express, and I thought they were separate outlets. That it was takeout only presented a dilemma for me, as I was just visiting the North Side for the day by bus and foot, and had no place to take my order. Of the two people behind the counter, one could not have cared less about my dilemma, but the other was of some help with this and my order. I wound up walking two blocks downhill to a park with benches. Second, that all orders are cooked to order and take 25 minutes. Fortunately there is a branch of the Pittsburgh Public Library across the street and it was open, so that occupied my time. The food: the chicken and catfish are fried in light crispy breading, very fine. The chicken wingettes were delicious. The catfish was not easily flaked and was ever so slightly rubbery, which would have been a very bad sign if it had been any more so. But it wasn't too bad. Green beans are a good side dish at this sort of joint, and these were good, seasoned with meat and sautéed onions mixed in. The white rice was entirely plain but tasty.

If you want something fried, fish or chicken it is 20 minutes minimum. Probably should have taken this option but did not call ahead and was in a hurry. Had the two piece chicken that is already prepared and in the warmer. It had very little meat and was over cooked and just not very tasty. The two side I had were the mac & cheese and potato salad. Both were OK. Have stopped bay Nana's by Gibson in Bloomfield and the chicken was very good but waited the 20 minutes...that is probably the key!
