Little bbq joint in Jackson-stopped in to grab takeout and was surprised they weren't in Yelp.
Service was a little slow for the only being one person in front of me-20 minutes for a veggie plate is a little much...but the lady behind the counter was super sweet.
Food:
Collards were perfect-peppery and salty and had little bit of pork mixed in-solid effort
Cornbread was sweet and moist
Yams were cooked well, but they're cinnamon and brown sugar heavy-if that's your thing.
Okra-generic freezer bag variety-fried and nothing more.
Mac&Cheese-it was a little underwhelming. It was heavy on the butter and it had separated in the container so it made for an oily mix. The rest was just cheese and noodles. No egg, no roux and little seasoning other than pepper.
I will say I've had a lot worse attempts at Soul food/Southern food...the meal was decent and I'd eat the collard any day of the week and be perfectly happy. read more
