My wife and I were in the area with and just happened to find this place through Yelp. We liked…read morethe photos and we haven't had really great southern food recently. When we arrived we were warmly greeted. The menu was expansive so we ordered a lot. The food was delicious. My wife said this was the best place she has eaten at since we've moved to the area. I enjoyed and it reminded me of being home. The Catfish was super crispy and well seasoned. The wife enjoyed the ribs and fried corn. The sides met the high standards of the kids especially the Mac and cheese. I would like to also highlight the variety of deserts that the cheesecakes and apple cobbler were to die for. Some of the beta southern food and I can't wait to go back.

Wow! The bbq here is spectacular! Today I ordered the half slab of ribs with a side of Mac and…read morecheese and I didn't want to put it down. The ribs are tender and each bite is packed with the flavor. They're slathered with sauce which may be off putting to some. For me, it was that perfectly fine balance between enough and flooded. Oh and the portion size? Amazing! Definitely enough to get full for dinner. Pass out for a minute then finish the rest the next day. The Mac and cheese was great. No, these aren't hand made noodles but the amount of cheese, the seasoning, evening l everything else was done expertly. If you want to save yourself an hour or two of cooking mac and cheese at home, get it here. The atmosphere here is very home cooking. It doesn't feel like it's some massive cookie cutter operation. It's nostalgic. This is what comfort food is supposed to taste like. Eating it made me think about fun times with the family back in Florida. While I made the order online, I was greeted as soon as I walked up to the counter. My order was done exactly when it said it would be done and was made with my additional request. I couldn't it be happier and look forward to many more orders and glad to have this place in the neighborhood.

I'd seen reviews about Grannys so I thought we'd give it a try. I ordered fried chicken, candied yams, cabbage, and cheesecake. My partner ordered the trout (it looked fancy), macaroni & cheese and collard greens. The fried chicken, IMO, wasn't cooked hard enough. I ate two and let my partner have the other two. The candied yams and cabbage were good. Those are my go-to's! My partner didn't say much about her meal, but from the looks of things, she enjoyed it. But that Oreo cheesecake...... BABY! It was so good! I was only going to take a few bites and ended up eating the whole thing! ...and I paid for it later, but it was worth it. I'd like to give them a try for brunch so we'll go back, likely in person, for that.

It may be hidden away in Data Alley, but it's well worth the drive. Owned by a sweet Black American couple who deeply understand the ins and outs of Southern cuisine, you will feel the warmth of home at this simple storefront restaurant. They feature a menu replete with St Louis Ribs, gumbo, catfish, whiting, Mac n Cheese, Greens w Smoked Turkey, candied yams, banana pudding, homemade sweet potato pie and more! This was such a find. We had the 1/2 pound catfish platters and the batter was seasoned so perfectly. Additionally, the candied yams were cooked with just the right mix of sweet and savory and I could have had second. Greens are difficult to nail, and C & E nailed the texture and flavor. So good -- just add a little hot sauce and you're ready to eat! The potato salad and fried okra are also tasty options. Next time, we'll try the Mac n cheese. To finish the meal, we really enjoyed the special dessert: peach cobbler cinnamon roll. My spouse loved the banana pudding as well. 10/10 recommend! Spread the word and support small businesses. There are a lot of chain soul food restaurants out there, but Southern Bites deserves its flowers. Total class of its own!

I was gonna try that, but they were out of that today. They also were having their fryer cleaned and so you could not get french fries or sweet potato fries as a side either. It was a decent portion of food, but my first thought upon receiving it was it was not a good value for the money. It's fairly pricey for a food truck that's parked by a gas station. I think there are better places to get barbecue around here.

My sister and I came to Black Hog to celebrate our birthdays, and we had a really good experience!…read more We really wanted some BBQ. We visited the downtown location and sat at the bar. It was a rainy day, so unfortunately we didn't get to enjoy the rooftop, but the inside was nice and, since we went during the day, relatively quiet. First, a shout-out to our bartender! I wish I remembered her name because she was GREAT. She was friendly, personable, attentive, and really knowledgeable about the menu. Whenever we had a question she didn't know the answer to, she actually went and found out instead of just guessing. Her recommendations were also spot-on. So, girl, good job! One thing that pleasantly surprised me was the parking. I initially thought we were going to have to park on the street, but then I noticed they have FREE parking available. That's definitely a plus, especially downtown. The food was good overall. I ordered the wings with a side of mac and cheese and the brown sugar sweet potatoes. Let me tell you--the sweet potatoes were DELICIOUS! My sister agreed. Those were definitely one of my favorite things I had. My sister ordered the ribs with several sides. She ended up sending the baked beans back because they were a little too tangy/vinegary for her taste, but those fries? OH MY GOD. They were so good. She absolutely tore those fries up! I also had one of their smoked margaritas, and it was really good. It was different from a traditional margarita, but I really enjoyed it--so much that I ordered a second one. Since we went during the day, it was pretty quiet and there wasn't much going on, but honestly, that was fine. We were there to celebrate our birthdays, eat some good food, have some drinks, and enjoy each other's company, and that's exactly what we did. Overall, good food, good vibes, great service, and a nice atmosphere. And a special shout-out to our bartender for making the experience even better!

What a welcome change! Apparently the three years has done this establishment good. Bravo!
