First of all, disregard any ratings that are less that 4 stars, for those whom rated this place lower than that obviously have no idea what soul food is supposed to taste like. Now that we have that out of the way, on to my review. Upon entering this magical place, I was greeted by a lovely woman behind the counter named Pat, whom is part owner and the wife of the chef. She politely asked me if I had ever been there before, to which I replied, no. Before I could even get that one syllable word out of my mouth, she had already prepared me several samples of what would later become my dinner. Mac and cheese. perfectly prepared macaroni (not mushy) enveloped in Rich and creamy cheese (not saucy or soupy at all) It was if the macaroni and the cheese had combined to become one, glorious, velvety smooth creation whose both flavor and texture were near heavenly. Beef Short ribs. Masculine chunks of slowly cooked beef that is fatty and rich, falling off the bone. (no fork necessary) Stewed in its own natural juices, along with some other secret ingredients I'm sure. The meat is soft and tender and requires little chewing if any. Goes very well with the collard greens Collard Greens: A delightful and hearty stewed green that I am almost certain is made with some kind of pork fat (pork fat = awesome). Both savory and sweet, these green are a great accompaniment to any of the main dishes. Oxtail: for those of you whom are unfamiliar, this is exactly what it sounds like. The meat on the tail. It is very bony, but when cooked right (as they do here), it is soft and creamy, and it full of flavor. The correct way to eat oxtail, is pick it up with your fingers, and suck the meat off the bone. Jerk Chicken. This might have been my favorite. The chicken itself, is most likely cooked on a grill first. The skin is crispy, snaps when you bite it, and is rubbed with a medley of jerk seasoning that is very intense. The meat itself, is moist, tender and can be peeled off with your fingers. Ask for a side of jerk sauce for dipping. Corn Bread. This is complimentary, but do not dismiss it. It is soft and moist, with flavors of honey and maple syrup. It is a perfect sweet to complement all that savory. As that was all the samples, I was able to stuff down my gullet, I will conclude my review by saying, if you want soul food, and you are in New York proper, then go to Soul Food Kitchen. Say hi to Pat, and ask her to try a few samples. Be warned, you will walk out with a full belly, and then you will eat dinner. Next time I am going to try their fish as I hear it is penultimate to none! read more

I've been ordering from here from waaayyy back, since the Kingston Ave location. They're now located on Fulton St in bedstuy.. The best Soul Food Spot in Brooklyn for take-out, hands down! I love their Fried Chicken and Barbeque Chicken breasts! The fried chicken is well seasoned, crispy on the outside and tender/juicy on the inside. The Barbeque chicken is also tasty, juicy and glazed with with thick sticky bbq sauce. The mac n cheese is always deliciously cheesy and the candied yams are candied to perfection of course!! Authentic Southern food. Yumm! Oh how can i forget their cornbread! The cornbread is always moist, with a hint of sweetness. The staff is always friendly and pleasant too.. SOUL FOOD HEAVEN!! read more

Soul Food Kitchen - BBQ Chicken, mac n cheese, candied yams and collard greens - Soul Food Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I've had a change of heart. I went back to day for lunch and the food was terrible. The mac and cheese was mushy and salty and the chicken was hard (the actually meat!). My coworker had oxtails with rice and cabbage and she couldn't even eat it all due to the mushiness of the rice, the salty oxtails and bland soggy cabbage. The only thing I really ate was the greens. It wasn't because they were good, they were the only thing that wasn't salty. It lacked flavor but I ate it anyway (I hate to waste money). I don't know what happened from September to now. The food was soo good back then. Overall: You've just lost two food loving customers. read more

Sorely disappointed after visiting the Soul Food Kitchen; Looked like Soul. Smelled like Soul. Dude behind the counter even had a Soul (Southern) accent. I know, cause he had a good ten minute conversation before recognizing me as a potential paying and hungry customer. I'm guessing with the Soul everywhere else in the establishment they might have overlooked placing it in the food. So this is a 24hr straight takeout spot. All the food sits behind the glass. For how long? Your guess is as good as mine. Not the most appetizing presentation or decor, but damn it I'm hungry for soul southern cooked food. They have Southern and Caribbean food, but with a name like Soul Kitchen I thought it was best to order something from their strong suit. First time in the place so I ordered the staples of any great southern meal; BBQ chicken, Macaroni & Cheese and Sweet Potatoes. After waiting the ten minutes to be served, I watched Soul Dude serve out my food and I thought to myself "C'mon Fam, $7.50 for a small and you skimping on the food?" " Oh, Okay. Throw my food into the container like a suspect against a police car, why don't you. Nice!" Yeah, so the food I ordered now looked even less appetizing as I stared down into the takeout container. The chicken had BBQ sauce slathered all over it so you can imagine my surprise when I didn't taste Barbecue Chicken. It was more like baked chicken posing as BBQ chicken... or baked chicken in a tasteless BBQ stew. I don't know, I'm still confused about it. The yams were watery & mediocre at best. The macaroni was blah, blah blah. Maybe I caught em on a bad nite?? The saving grace from a one star review is the banana pudding. The smooth, sweet banana flavor almost made me forget the meal I was just grumbling about. Just wished I would have two or three more vanilla wafers in the batch he served out, but it's cool. I'll probably be back for the pudding in the future; but I don't think I'll venture to try anything else on the menu. Sub-Par Soul Food. Shrug. read more

I am tickled pink about this place being in my general Brooklyn area. Due to my laziness I am even more in love with the fact that they deliver. A soul food spot that delivers?! Let the church say "Amen"! Even though its $4 flat anywhere in Brooklyn it's a deal if you don't live close and just too lazy to go like me. I think they stop delivering at like 8:30ish. I am giving this a 4/5 because even though I've ordered here a few times it's the same thing so I cannot speak for anything other than the smothered pork chops dinner with mac n cheese, yams and cornbread. The potato salad is also really good. The hush puppies I had once were a little well done but still fine. I'd say my only complaint is the cornbread. Not that great, not bad though. There's no flavor to it really just a crumbly cornmeal thingy in the way of my delicious smothered, fall off the bone pork chops. This place has an alter ego as a full on seafood spot too according to the menu so one day I will try out the seafood options as well. The last thing is the service gets a 5/5. The guy on the phone is so funny and really has great southern hospitality even though I don't know where he's from. The delivery guy is equally nice and really humble when he gets a tip so TIP HIM! read more

It's down home Southern and Carribbean cooking straight up no frills. It appears to be famiy run and the staff are super efficient and very kind. The smells and warmth are amazing the second you step foot inside from hectic Fulton Street. It's best to take out because the lines get deep and there is only one counter with very limited seating. You could eat there and I have, but it's not a sit down restaurant per se. They deal in high volume delicious that goes out the door. Have I mentioned they deliver ANYWHERE in Brooklyn for a four dollar charge and they are open 24 HOURS A DAY!!! I adore mixing and matching whatever my heart desires, but be careful it can get expensive. The jerk chicken will put hair on your chest ladies but it's so good. The mac and cheese is traditional and delicious. Curry shrimp is in my top five as well as their sweet candied yams which helps out the fiery spices. I also live for their fried chicken and caribbean Chicken Dumpling soup. I have yet to try their smothered turkey wings but it's on my to do list. They have lots and lots of veggie options too and an enormous dessert and beverage selection. Amen to the peach cobbler and Bananna pudding. This is the place that I literally fantasize about at 2am and have a hard time going to sleep if I don't get my hands on greens (collards), shrimp and chicken. Sad I know. Mini downside... Sometimes they are so popular there is a wait on Mac and Cheese (until next batch is ready) and earlier in the day soup is not avail. I always have cash in hand there and I'm pretty sure it's cash only. I'm going to have to find a way to try everything on the menu. I still can't explain why their menu has two sides... two names on menu and at store but one register.. It's called Soul Food Kitchen AND Seafood Heaven. I say, why question greatness. I would like to fall asleep inside their vat of creamy mashed potatoes now. Good Night. read more

One word NO! Food was stale and old looking and gravies was jelled together! It is dark and dank in there. So sad this was once a great place, now it is a disaster! read more

My husband craved soul food this weekend so we sought out to find the best. After visiting previous restaurant in NJ we decided to try something closer to where we live. Upon entering the establishment we were happily greeted by a younger guy behind the counter waiting to take our order. I asked what was good and he starting listing almost everywhere on the menu and asked if we had been there before once we said no he started handing me and my family sample of staples of the restaurant. Like another yelper said you leave full before you even get your order. I ordered green (AMAZING) mac n cheese (eh, but still good- I simply like more cheese) beef tips (tender and awesome gravy) and yams (got a side of this to eat dinner tonight and I am happy I did) My husband and ten year old hates everything but to my surprise they loved the food here and want to come back. Husband ordered smothered turkey wings, mac n cheese and potato salad his only complaint was not enough salt/pepper but overall thumbs up, however, he was so full he reclined the seat in front of the place and took a nap (food is heavy - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!) and so did our daughter who ordered curry chicken, mashed potato w/ oxtail gravy and mac n cheese and she even asked for greens which she never does! I cant say enough about this place my experience was amazing and the food was on point. one last thing many said that this was a 24 hr spot and this is untrue I believe they are open until 10 during the week and 11 on weekends and and extra plus they deliver ANYWHERE in Brooklyn for $4. read more

This is my second favorite soul food spot (on this planet anyway) I have ordered everything from the Jerk Chicken, to the BBQ chicken, crab cakes, shrimp, onion rings, red velvet cheesecakes, and it was all great, the best thing was the crab cakes, loads of crab meat so you get your moneys worth and the taste is amazing. The only reason I rank this as second is because they should really have a line, I cant stand when stuff gets disorganized and people start cutting the line. read more

Okay, so I'm a 30-ish white lady, from an almost all-white suburb, in New England. To say I am unfamiliar with what soul food should be is putting it kindly. That being said, I really like this place. The food is good and the people at the counter are super nice. When asked if and what kind of gravy I wanted on my mashed potatoes, I think maybe my husband and I looked a little overwhelmed by the choices, so the woman behind the counter offered us a little bit of potatoes with some of the sauce the oxtail was in. Did I want that? Holy frig, yes. Yes, I do. In fact, I want that on everything I eat from now on: pasta, shortcake, salads, everything. Ribs were good. BBQ chicken was pretty good. Collard greens are not really my favorite but my husband declared them the best he's ever had. Mashed potatoes were, as I mentioned, so good. I'm already thinking about what I'm going to eat there next time. read more

I've cheated on Bed-Stuy Fish Fry. -dodges tomatoes & ignores the boos- ... But wait, guys they deliver! -stands for applause- Best soulfood restaurant in Brooklyn? -chuckles.- No, we may be getting a bit beside ourselves... But it is decent. I really had a hankering for some fried fish, as gloomy and destitute as it is outside I knew I wasn't up for a trek to BFF so I searched through the menus in my kitchen drawer and pulled out the number to this oldie but goodie. The food wasn't quite as I remember but it hit the spot. Not as good as BFF (not even close) but their menu is way more extensive ie: snow crab/crab legs, hushpuppies, crabcakes, desserts, etc. If BFF doesn't step it up and expand to making deliveries they're going to lose a lot of business. *Soul Food Kitchen delivers anywhere in Brooklyn (for $4). read more

The cooking at Soul Food Kitchen is such a lovely throwback. Ain't no young folks messing up the baked macaroni and cheese up in here. Aunties and grannies are at the burners turning out the yummiest, high blood pressure inducing staples. Fried and broiled seafood, candied yams, collards, stuffing, 'tater salad, chicken in every style, cornbread, strang beans (yeah, strang) and all of the other down South goodies. The vittles here are hearty, tasty and served out in generous portions. The cooks at Soul Food Kitchen are keeping the life in a fading food legacy. My taste buds and I appreciate the effort. read more

Would have given four stars but the rice was a little dry even with sauce and it kind of tasted a bit over heated to the point where it becomes slightly crunchy and now as for the Mac and cheese it was rather quite tasty as was the BBQ chicken though the fried ones looked much more appealing also decided to try the meatloaf and I can honestly say that even though it tasted like meat that I would rather eat the ones at Boston market instead (flavor wise) it made me cough a bit as if dust had taken flight in my throat read more

I wanted to try this place out because for months I pass by it on my way to work in the morning. I moved back to Brooklyn four years ago and thought it was just an empty store front. Today when I went in the line started at the cash register and ended at the door. While waiting I looked everywhere for a menu couldn't find one until I asked a girl who was sitting behind the counter where could I get a menu and she pointed to the refrigerator and on top of the refrigerator were the menus ... Far away from anyone's sight . The people were very welcoming in a southern kind of way I felt like I was talking to my aunts and uncles...lol. While inching up to place the order I began talking to this lady that told me that this was the original location and that they had to close it down due to a fire. The outside seating gives a refreshing look to the neighborhood and is inviting. The ribs were good tender the collard greens were excellent fresh and smokey flavored. The Mac and cheese was your typical no stretch Mac n cheese. Yams were sweet and delicious. The fish had no seasoning and a million bones. All n all I like the food and I can't wait to try more things from here. read more

I came here after seeing the yelp reviews. omg. The smells hit you as you enter. This food is so good. The yams and mac and cheese are really tasty and their peach cobbler is very good.They also have jamaican food, and even though i dont like eating jamaican food from a non-traditional jamaican establishment i will definitely try it next time... Thank God I have a gym membership because i will be coming here way too often read more

I went there today and was debating between the turkey and the beef meatloaf and they asked me if I wanted to taste it first which was great :). The turkey meatloaf would of been my choice but it was wayyyyy over seasoned omg like it had way too much adobo or something if it wasn't for that I would of gotten that. I was also able to try the beef meatloaf which was ok ... My daughter liked it but I didn't want it. I ended up getting the collard greens, mac n cheese, bbq chicken wings, bbq ribs, potato salad, and candied yams. Everything was the bomb.com wow my favs were def the potato salad and candied yams. The collard greens were seasoned veryyyy well but no meat, I wouldn't get the bbq wings again tho. They were just ok, I thought the ribs were better. I also got an apple cheesecake which was just ok... It needed a layer of apples instead of just a little chunk in the front smh. I would def go back there again but I'd try different meats for sure! They get the 4th star because the service was great n they were patient with me because I couldn't decide what I wanted. read more

I like this spot Best way is to get delivered As they generally are on time. Compared to Footprints in Flatbush This establishment rules! ! As you call someone answers the phone- And they don't rush you off they take the time to get your information and get your order correctly. And the price is easy on your pockets too. And the food- especially the fish is cooked to your order. This Is a great place to spend your hard earned money. You will be back. read more

Damn good soul food, although we just got a bunch of sides so my comments may be limited: Tied for best potato salad I have ever had. Collard greens were nice and bitter as they should be, none of this sweet stuff. Black eyed peas and rice were good. Corn bread was good. It is fast, friendly. They have a small counter with four stools but it is mostly a take out joint. If you are looking for a pretty restaurant or fancy service this isn't it. It is good homemade foods served cafeteria style, which is great if you don't have a lot of time and want soul food. Their mac and cheese looked fantastic. I will certainly be back. read more

Was craving some soul food for a while and found a ton of places where it just didn't cut it until I tried this place. Mac n cheese was really good. Potato salad was on point. It reminded me of my moms back at home. Jerk chicken was good as well. Can't wait to go back and try the rest of the food. I can't cook. So this is as close to home cooked food that I'll get. Price is NOT that bad. $10 for a small meal but it was VERY Filling. read more

I really wanted soul food and I figured I would check this place out thanks to Yelp. The workers behind the counter were really nice upon entering I was greeted by everyone who was in the back. Their menu is very overwhelming way too much stuff to read. Now onto my order. The macaroni and cheese was awful! I am a macaroni and cheese connoisseur. Therefore I know macaroni and cheese. They did not use eggs in this batch of Macaroni and cheese. The cheese seem to be some imitation or subpar cheese which was awful! As a result my guess would be the only use subpar cheese and noodles to make their macaroni and cheese. The fish I order tilapia was okay and the yams I ordered were good. I also ordered a slice of red velvet cake and it was a really big slice. But the cream cheese frosting tasted like a cheap imitation type of icing. I'm really big one service so I appreciate that everyone was nice here but I absolutely love mac & cheese and red velvet cake and using subpar ingredients well I have to get this place two stars... sorry read more

SO, I tried this place out because a friend of mine, who is a North Carolina transplant was RAVING about how incredibly good this food is. She kept regaling me with stories of "Oh, Chloe, this is the best mac and cheese you ever had", "You haven't had better Southern food in North Carolina" "Collards that will make your head spin", "I've never had fried chicken like this before in my life!" Stop right there! While the owners are very nice people, I have to disagree with all the hype my girlfriend was spewing for this place. The best thing about my meal was the cabbage and cornbread, and we drove mad far to get here. Not to mention, I hadn't eaten a single thing all day, so when we finally arrived here and had to wait in line for a solid 20-25 minutes before we could order from this smorgasbord, I was pumped to see the place so packed, and assumed I could count on the imminent Food Coma I've come to know and love over the years. Bring it ON! Bring it Back? The fried chicken was WAYYY OVERDONE! And by overdone, I mean, quite literally the meat had been fried to oblivion. I had chicken bones with some charred pieces of meat on them, but they were scarce because they'd been cooked for far too long. The batter was definitely nothing special, and while everything in here looked amazing (yams, collard greens, ribs, oxtails, and so on and so forth), the only thing I finished was the cabbage. I spent a whopping $25 for: BBQ spare ribs which were so tough I wanted to recook them; Macaroni was oh, SO BASIC, and nothing close to the best I ever had; cabbage--pretty damn good, and only thing I'd eat again (though I won't be making the trek) string beans--meh i'll give them an "iight" fried chicken--no, ma'am. dry, scarce, overdone, no bueno cornbread--the overall winner of this here chicken dinner. the only thing I finished. Overall, a really disappointing experience, but I can attribute that mostly to the hype. Had I just stumbled upon this hole-in-the-wall, I might've been less interested to try so many things and saved myself a few dollars. Definitely not worth the money or the hour spent in traffic to get here. read more

I stumbled upon this place while searching for food that would settle an upset stomach. Originally I left, because the food looked too rich, but the lady came after me and my friend. She insisted that we order some food and suggested the vegetable soup for my stomach. My friend ordered shrimp and a couple of sides that I can't remember. However, she was very pleased with her choices. I, on the other hand, had to save my soup for the next night, because after 3 bites I had heart burn--it turned out not to be a good choice for an upset stomach. However, it was quite tasty as a left over. I will definitely be visiting this place again when my stomach can handle it. read more

This is for the Kingston Throop location Whiting was breaking all over the place. However, it was good. The place is a little expensive got a 3 piece whiting dinner with a side of yams and collard greens, total $14 (Their other location that closed down was better and the same thing I got was $11 and change)I thought about getting another side and the cost of a small Mac says $3, when I asked how much with tax it is $4 + change I know it was more that $4.50. Like why is tax so much. The tartar sauce is too liquidity. This is open until 12am so It can benefit late night cravings if other restaurants are close. Smh read more

There are a lot of restaurant's in New York City that claims to be "Southern cooking". I've been to some of the well known southern spots like Manna's, Country Kitchen and Amy Ruth's, I heard of all the hype, so I wanted to try and see what was this buzz was all about. Sadly to say, I was really disappointed. But I was walking on Fulton Street, I come across this southern cooking spot. I was like, lets see what they have. They had a nice selection of southern food. I ordered the smothered turkey wings w/ mac and cheese and cabbage. I must say, once I taste that meal I was sold. Soul Food Kitchen is official. I've been coming here for 2 times a month for almost 6 months now. This food is very addictive. I highly recommend this restaurant. PS: If you are not going to be around Fulton Street. Check out Ruthies on Dekalb Ave and/or Myrtle Ave. They maybe the only one that can compete with Soul Food Kitchen. read more

Yes, yes yes! I loved the soul food from Soul Food Kitchen! They have soul food and Jamaican food. I tried the smothered turkey wings with mac and cheese and potato salad. Everything was delicious! My sister had the baked chicken with mac and cheese and collard greens. I tried her collard greens and they were delicious too! The food was so good that we ordered another plate of turkey wings with white rice and mac and cheese to go. This place has moved to 88 Kingston Ave at Kingston and Dean St. Parking is on the street of course and it's open 24 hours on Friday and Saturday. read more

Lots of options. I had catfish, mac n cheese and potato salad. The fish was good the potato salad was great but the mac n cheese wasn't impressive it was just ok. The desserts looked good but I was alone and found them rather pricey. I'd certainly go back! read more

So every now and then, I crave that southern cooking. My brother actually told me about this spot, and so we went there this Saturday. So they have so many options at Soul Food Kitchen. I ordered a large pork spare rib dinner with macaroni and cheese, candied yams and a small side of potato salad for us to share. My brother ordered beef ribs with the same sides. My mom got smothered pork chops with collard greens and macaroni and cheese. So final thoughts. I had enough food for two days. They are very generous with their servings. In regards to the smothered pork chops, my mom was hoping for more of a country style and less of a stewed effect. She was hoping for a thick heavenly sauce but was still pleased. The candied yams are a buttery sweetness which I adored, and the mac and cheese was a yummy southern treat. In addition the the soul food, they have a Seafood section filled with tilapia, whiting, Crab legs and shrimp,( which can be fried or steamed). They also had a heavenly selection of desserts. YES I did try the red velvet cake which the slice was enough for 3 people. LOL. WE did also order their lemonade, which was sweet but did not lose the lemon flavoring I come to appreciate with my lemonade. They have Arnold Palmers on the menu, but did not have it that day. Would have been my choice, to try for the first time. Will definitely go back just to try the seafood selections. FYI- I did see on their menu they will deliver to anywhere in BK( ANYWHERE) for a delivery fee of $4. Ambiance- It was a bit odd walking in and see that there is also a side hustle of furniture selling as well. Only in Brooklyn, lol read more

Where do I begin? Hmm I know... They finally answered the phone after the fifth time calling. It was going to be my last time because I figured it was Mothers day and maybe they were closed. Not the case, they just Dont pick up every call...strike 1. I ordered the food at 3:14pm and at 5:15 I called to check the status of my delivery. The guy picks up the phone and says they are now packing it. I'm sorry I called two hours ago, how are you now packing it? His response I didn't take the order, the driver who took the order is on a run. Really he's out on a run, he should have packed my order and be running his way to my house. I digress... They called me back 15 minutes later to say the driver will be there in 20 mins. 20 mins turned into 40 mins. Strike 2! I didn't receive my order until 6pm. If I wasn't so hungry, I would have turned him around. Catfish was uninviting. Mac n cheese was runny with no flavor. Collard greens were boiled with no. seasoning. Cornbread met the garbage can and the red velvet cake that I was craving turned out to be red velvet cheesecake which also met the garbage can. Strike 3, 4 and 5. Never again!! read more

This place is solid--better than solid. Go for the meats. The braised beef and ribs are probably my favorite. The chicken can be a little dry by my standard, but everything else is delicious. Definitely get the yams and mashed potatoes. Here's a secret: That delicious Thanksgiving meal I served? I got it at Soul Food Kitchen. It was amazing and better than anything I could've made. read more

I worked in Bklyn for years and left. Now I'm back and this was the first place I went to for dinner. Beef short ribs are unlike any I've ever had. Mac n cheese is almost as good as mine (but i bet they don't skimp like i do by using 2% cheese and skim milk- which is both a good and bad thing). Potato salad was ehh... It was very relish-y or something. The meatloaf is good- beef is better than the turkey though. Mashed potatoes and corn are good and I've Been told the collard greens are delish by my friends but I don't like greens period. They also have a whole ginormous fried menu with fish and frogs legs and shrimp, etc etc. not a cheap place ($13 for a dinner) but it definitely lasts 2-3 meals. Did I mention the Mac n cheese?! read more

Great soul food! Best I've had in NYC. Try the drunken turkey and macaroni and cheese to start. The desserts are excellent also. We had the cobbler and red velvet cupcake with cream cheese topping. Don't let the storefront fool you. read more

Ok, so the location is not the most aesthetically pleasing, but what matter most to me was they had an A from the department of health and the food smelled damn good, so I proceeded. It was like I was transported to SC, some good ole soul food. I got the fried chicken with baked mac and cheese and peas and rice. The meal came with a cornbread on the side. Unfortunately there wasn't really any place to sit so I had hold off on ravaging thru that box a few more minutes. The cornbread didnt make it home though. The food was everything I hoped for when I thought about eating soul food that day, very delicious, very filling. I'd highly recommend. read more

The food is incredible, the owner/staff funny and nice and helpful, and the options for celiacs through the roof. If you are looking for gluten-free bbq/soul food, this place will change your life. They make their own bbq sauce and it is safe for us celiacs (things cooked in gravy are no go for gluten-free eaters)! My sister, also celiac, and I ate there the day after I moved to BedStuy and having it so nearby never stops making me feel lucky. The yams, the cabbage, the collards, the jerk pork, the curries, the braised short ribs -- this food will delight your senses. The prices are great, the servings generous, they deliver ANYWHERE in Brooklyn for $4 and they are open late. My friends who can eat their mac and cheese say it's amazing, which I am sure to be true. Eat there, you won't be disappointed. read more

I have ordered food from here 2 or 3 times and each time my family and I have never been disappointed. Chicken is fried fresh to order. The beef ribs, potato salad, greens, mac n cheese, yams, and desserts (except for the sweet potato pie-each time ordered it was missing sugar) were very good. The staff was also very friendly. I remember on my first visit, the gentleman behind the counter provided me with small samples to taste as I was overwhelmed by the choices-who does that nowadays??? read more

The sides were all good but my chicken was overcooked. Next time I'll make sure to tell them to be mindful of the cooking time. Mac N Cheese was delicious AND cheesy! Yams hit the spot and the potato salad....GREAT! Hard to find good potato salad other than what you make at home! The two counter ladies in the front were very helpful and pleasant. Definitely would return. read more

My family loves this place! It's like having my grandma cooking EVERYTHING every day! Don't go in there starving! You'll want everything! Just writing this review is making my mouth water at 9am!

I'm born & raised in the deep South and I'll vouch for the greens here. They're some of the best I've ever had.
