FOOD: There was very little selection to choose from. Based on our experience, we could tell the…read morefood didn't seem very fresh and may have been sitting out all day. We both felt really heavy afterward, and my mom even felt sick after eating there. It was just basic diner food and a bit overpriced for something you can get almost anywhere else. However, the cake that comes with the cornbread was my favorite part. SERVICE: The service was fine. It had more of a cafeteria-style vibe, so there isn't much to say about it. AMBIANCE: The inside felt very run down. The bar wasn't even finished and didn't look like it was ever used. Overall, it had a very hole-in-the-wall feel.

Also, the customer service is phenomenal.! everyone that works here treat you like family and super nice to you. I am so glad I stopped in today. I love how they keep the place super cold in the summer because it gets real hot in Texas. Food: this is some of the best food I've had in a long time. The beef tips remind me of a lot of Burt's , meat bar in Houston, Texas, who shut down right after Covid. The beef tips over white rice is amazing. So tender and so good my God how can you make food this amazing? The macaroni and cheese is phenomenal as well. So were the candy yams. The cornbread is great. The gravy that goes over the beef tips is simply the best. The hamburger steak is full of flavor as well. Once again, this is some of the best soul Food I've had in a long time.

The first mistake, their hours online says they open at 8, after arriving after 8, no one was there. So I called the number and a nice woman told me they open at 9. So I waited to go back up there after 9. So when I went back up there after 9, I saw that they were open and people were in there working. I went to the drive through. Sat at the drive through literally 10 mins. Nobody acknowledged me, ever came to the drive through or nothing. I know that they saw the car as one of the workers kept coming back and forth to the front placing food in a tray. They saw the car through the window. It amazes me as this place had a huge grand opening sign and this is how they are doing business already. Incorrect starting times, lack luster professionalism. I didn't get to try the food as I was never acknowledged or serviced. This place is already starting on the wrong foot. They should really tighten up or they won't be here long.

I was having issues with the card reader, and the lady working the counter allowed me to sort it out with my bank while she got the food ready. Catfish is always flaky and soft, chicken is flavorful, and the potato salad? The gumbo? She put some SOUL in that! Restaurant was clean and well lit, could feel the vibe from up the block. If you're in Alexandria, STOP AND SEE BIG MOMMA!
