Two Haiku Review: Still can't tell soul and Southern food apart. Whatever It is here, the food Was fantastic! Tried The meatloaf with fried okra And mac & cheese. Yum! read more

The food here is alway on point. If you want your soul food fix then this is the place to be. This visit is a strong four. A couple of things could have been better. For starters our server Zipporiah sat us near a large family. Easily 12-15 members. Maybe she thought they were about to leave but they were still seated and chopping up as families do. Me & Bae didn't know those people. The restaurant was not packed. Three places I won't sit in restaurants: by the kitchen, by the bathrooms and way in the back. Otherwise I let the servers do their job of balancing the customers. I should have asked for a different seat. Our lunch date was just okay but having to talk to each other over that family wasn't fun for me. Literally one table over and yes booths were available. The other reason for the four? Being rushed. Bae eats like he's running out of time. I eat much slower. I'd barely gotten the sour cream and butter in my loaded baked potato good before we were asked if we needed boxes. To which I replied that I was still enjoying my meal. Now if there was a reason for us to be rushed then communicate this. I've had many a server say that they are about to leave or shift change is happening so they ask to cash us out before they leave. If the restaurant is slammed and we're just camping out then it makes sense to try to turn the table quickly. I guess we weren't eating fast enough because Bae noticed a slight shift in her attitude towards us. The food? Banging! We ordered fried chicken wings as our appetizer. Talk about a speedy delivery of hot chicken wings! So good! Fish was friend to perfection. Why lemon pepper? I wanted to do something different. Zipporiah was very accommodating along if I wanted just one piece with lemon pepper. Also, our order did come out right. Will we go back? Absolutely. This place is a Greensboro staple! read more

I recently visited because I was deeply craving soul food. This is a very soulful older looking building. It was buzzing with business but wasn't so loud you'd be annoyed if you at there. I took my food to go. You order at the main counter the give your ticket to the back kitchen and wait to be called. The wait wasn't long at all maybe 10-15 minutes. I ordered the fried catfish, mac and cheese , potato salad , collard greens, sweet potatoes/ candied yams and it came with corn bread. And banana pudding. First off the catfish was cooked to perfect and seasoned well. I burned my mouth in a good way because I didn't wait until it cooled it was so good. For the sides; the mac and cheese was not something I enjoyed the noodles were extremely over cooked and too soft , there was no cheesy top and the cheese was very separated that was there. The greens were sweet and I personally prefer savory greens but if that's your jam you'll love these greens. However the potato salad and yams were perfection and I will get those again. The banana pudding was your topical southern vanilla wafer banana pudding. I did enjoy it and the portion size was great too. It didn't make it through the night. Overall I feel like the do something's better than others and they're worth a visit. read more

We had a family reunion and Rodney was our coordinator and did an excellent job in making sure everything was prepared and on time. Having a large group of 29 may have been hard to handle, however, they did a great job. Everyone loved the food and the service was superb. Our waitstaff was Kai and she was so enjoyable and entertaining. She helped with the activities and with the servicing of the food. We really enjoyed her and she was so cute. The place was very clean and they were very patient with us. Not only were we a few minutes late, but we also went over. They didn't "kick us out", but politely let us know that the next group was waiting. Our bad!! Sorry. But we had the best time. Thanks everyone! read more

I think I've stated this before, but Stephanie's never disappoints. If you want good soul food this is the place. I always get the fried chicken but this time I tried the potato salad and it was delicious. Also, you can't go wrong with the Obama (half tea and half lemonade). read more

I keep hoping after all these years,Stephanie's would bring the "soul" into their soul food and improve their customer service. Neither has happened and I'll just say, keep your hard earned money and go and cook for yourself. The improvements which are needed in this old Quincy steakhouse building are the same as it was in the early 2000s over 25 years ago. I really want to be able to support a minority and female owned establishment but wow, they make it hard. On this visit, a woman was waiting on a smothered turkey wings dinner and had waited over an hour and was never advised they were out. Just pour customer service and they didn't even bother to try to make it right. At the least, restaurant should have refunded her money and gave her a free dinner for her time. Just poor Service overall. read more

Funny story,15 years ago we came to Stephanie's after my cousin's graduation from NCA&T and today we stopped here for some good southern cuisine as we sent my daughter off to college at NCA&T and it was still as good as I remembered then. Pat yourself on the back because that says A LOT! Anthony greeted us at the door and was also our waiter. He was so polite and had quite the sense of humor haha. We absolutely loved his wittiness and he knew the menu well and helped us order. Give that man a raise haha! The space reminds you of a mom & pop's diner. Nothing to write home about BUT it was very cozy. They had r&b hits playing and since music is my love language, I loved it. The pricing is very reasonable, I got the fried chicken which included 2 sides & your choice of bread. I got the Mac & cheese and yams because they are the perfect pair haha with a yeast roll. The chicken was seasoned well & had the right amount of crisp. It was hot to temperature & tastes like something my grandma cooked! My daughter had the smothered pork chops & devoured them, literally there was nothing left on her plate haha. So when I come back, I'll be sure to try that. If you're ever in Greensboro & looking for some good soul food, you HAVE to check them out. read more

So my dude and I were here for states wrestling. A couple of natives told us about this spot. So we stopped by to check out all the hype. This building seems to be very old and ran down. It was very crowded so we decided to order out. We got the fried catfish with a side of collards, candy yams added hush puppies, coleslaw and banana pudding. The catfish was salty but fried well, collards were fine, candy yams were good and sweet. I loved my coleslaw, banana pudding was good. Overall it was a typical soul food place I wanted a wow moment but I didn't get it. Oh the sweet tea was liquid diabetes we couldn't finish that. But y'all check em out for yourself! read more

Stephanie's has been added to the list of places I must go when I'm in Greensboro. We went on Friday for lunch and EVERYTHING was delicious. I was a little disappointed that they got rid of the baby shower meatballs...hopefully they'll come back. I ordered salmon cakes, cabbage, broccoli casserole & hush puppies. My friend had the fried wing platter with squash, rice and gravy, and okra. The food was hot and seasoned to perfection. The wings were cooked to a perfect, crispy golden brown. The salmon patties has a little spicy kick to them & I love spicy. Can't wait to visit again! read more

5/5 Whole Fried Chicken Wings 5/5 Broccoli chicken and cheese casserole 5/5 Sweet Yams 5/5 Uptown tea 5/5 Fried cheesecake Forget all these Instagram and Tiktok food influencers, President Obama is the real OG foodie on the internet. Whenever I try out a restaurant he has visited on his campaign trail, the food has never missed, and today is no exception. I got the whole fried chicken wing plate with sides of sweet Yams and the broccoli chicken and cheese casserole, and every dish was a certified banger. The fried chicken skin was crispy without feeling overly oily and the meat on the inside is packed with flavor. The yams were also not overly sweet, but my biggest surprise was the casserole -- the chicken is juicy and moist while the cheese on top is crispy and offered a contrasting texture. The broccoli in it mainly made me feel less guilty about stuffing my face with a huge plate of meat. Speaking of the huge plate, the portion size here is very generous and reasonably priced, especially in today's economy. The restaurant atmosphere was also very cozy and i cannot say enough about how nice all of the staff were. We got the sweet tea here, and when our waiter saw how my girlfriend loved the drink so much, he even topped her drink off as we were finishing up and gave her a to go cup so she can have more on the road. We both had an amazing experience here and can't wait for our next visit at Stephanie's! read more

I found this restaurant by asking the hotel concierge about good soul food restaurants. My mom and I came in on Sunday before the crowd. The service was good. The restaurant is large. I recommend for large groups. I did move booths due to cracked seating but it was not a problem at all. I ordered the chicken wings, Mac, and yams with cornbread. The chicken wings were amazing. Fried to perfection. Not greasy at all. The Mac was okay, nothing spectacular. The yams were really good. The cornbread was perfect, not too crumbly but also moist. Oh, get the uptown, half tea/half lemonade. It was amazing. I can't wait to return when I'm in the area. read more

I have been eating at Stephanie's for years. They have the bedt fried chicken and Mac & cheese. I highly recommend it.

Greensboro, I know y'all used to have this idea of Stephanie's but one thing I have to say to defend Stephanie's. The food is consistent. I know because I'm next-door neighbors with them now and on a good day I'll be right there now. I ain't eat in at Stephanie's in over 10 years. I'm talking about a family reunion when I was a child, but the ambience hasn't changed much either. The food is so delicious y'all I have to get my bone in croaker here. Whoever y'all got back there in the kitchen, they need the elixir of life. They can't leave the kitchen. They're not allowed to. read more

I got the chicken wings entree with two sides being mac & cheese and the chicken with broccoli casserole, that came with a bread option and I chose cornbread. The wings were flavorful & seasoned well. The cornbread was good and I liked the mac and cheese. The casserole felt more like just broccoli & cheese with breadcrumbs so it was ok. Since I had takeout it didn't take long for my food to get here, service was quick and easy for a busy Thursday night. The place looked clean, I would come back and try more here to get a better feel for the place. Try and see what you think. read more

Amazing food and good service. My wife and I split the whole wings and the catfish, Mac-n-cheese, and greens with the uptown tea (tea and lemonade). The chicken seasoning is right on point with just the right amount of breading. Same for the fish. Very fresh and cooked just right. The Mac and cheese was creamy and delicious and the greens were incredible!!! Topped off with a homemade roll. The perfect meal. Well done!!!! read more

This is a staple in Greensboro. They have some of the best soul food. The candied yams are everything!! The mac and cheese is baked just right. The cabbage was okay - I've had better. The cornbread melts in your mouth. This is the first time I got the wings and they were fried hard. The service was okay; I think she may have been overwhelmed as she didn't check on us as much as other servers in the past. It's always busy, but the wait for our food wasn't bad. Decor wise it's not the most modern place, but the seating is abundant and clean. And who wouldn't like a place called Stephanie's?!! :-) read more

I just moved to Greensboro, and my boyfriend put me on to this restaurant. Let me first say WOW! This is some good ass (excuse my french) soul food in the Greensboro area. I got two pork chops (nice and juicy), yams (soooo good), mac & cheese (it's really good mixed with the yams), and hush puppies and cornbread. After finishing my tray, it put me straight to sleep. I definitely will be a regular customer here. Keep it up y'all read more

Omg'! I love Stephanie's food. My favorite go to is a vegetable plate. I usually get green beans, squash, fried okra, and cornbread. When I do meat from there I get the fried chicken livers with the gravy on the side or their lemon pepper chicken wings. Customer service is always on point andI love the vibe when we eat in. Everyone seems really happy while eating. You should try them. read more

The food is delicious. We were traveling headed back to Atlanta and googled soul food and Stephanie's came up. It did not miss! The staff is great and shoutout to Miss Beverly! She was so patient and knowledgeable and all around good. If I'm ever in the area I'm coming back! read more

As always the food was good but the service was lacking to say the least. Our server, Zaporia just wasn't attentive.

Now the food did take longer than normal, and it was Sunday but she didn't check us like the others in her section. read more

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT!!!! THE FOOD HERE IS TOP TEIR ELITE SOUL FOOD! THIS IS FAMILY REUNION kind of SOUL FOOD!! So so soooo good! Listen it was so good when I left I looked back in the kitchen I just wanted to lay my eyes on who cooked the food lol!! Seriously I wanted to just smile at her or him! I had the fried chicken and fried whiting! With Mac and cheese fried okra collards (they had a hint of sweetness FYI) and yams with the grape koolaid that waitress recommended adding lemonade to and it was magnificent!! I will add to make this a whole review that the inside of the restaurant is not anything elaborate it is a simple restaurant that serves amazing food! read more

Moms in the hospital, Wesley Long. We needed her to eat. Hospital food can be bland and tasteless. I searched soul food on Yelp. Stephanie's came up in the top of the list. Stephanie's is located on 2507 block of Randleman Rd in Greensboro. Sis and I headed out to pick up some local Grindz. Stephanie's is located less than 4 miles from the hospital. Convenience is important when you want to get back quickly. We pulled up to the red and white building. The parking lot was completely full. Folks were waiting to get a parking space. We entered the restaurant. Man, they were playing old school music from back in the day. Lionel Ritchie, Commodores- just good music. The dining area is huge. You have to wait to be seated. We ordered take out at the counter. She gave us a few minutes to review the menu. I ordered the Vegetable plate. $12.49. Mom wanted fried okra, Fried Squash and Yams. I wanted the Macaroni and Cheese. Baby Sis ordered the Pork Chip plate..$13.99. Drinks are separate $3.25. My sweet tea had an after taste. I switched it out for the Grape Kool-aide. It was a head banger 100% Delicious The menu consists of Comfort Food choices... Meatloaf, Beef Tips, Veggie Plate, Meatball Dinner. They create a variety of sandwiches. They have a smorgasbord of world famous sides. $4.60 each. They even have a kids menu to choose from. Let's talk Food!!! Stephanie's food is right in line with The Shed, Kareem & Woo's and Sweetie Pie's. Macaroni and Cheese was moist and flavorful. The Yams were like my grandma made them. I didn't taste the Fried Okra/Squah. Momma ate half of each one. I was throughly pleased to see her eat. I didn't eat the cornbread, Baby Sis devoured it with no issues. The pork chop was perfectly crispy on the outside- Juicy and tender on the inside. All the sides were a WIN. While waiting for the order, I was able to look at pictures on the wall of famous people who have dined at Stephanie's. It's a real local spot for anyone to come and enjoy a good meal. They offer catering as well as online ordering. If you're in the Greensboro area, stop by and check out this simple, yet fully satisfying small business eatery! read more

What can I say? This is a no frills soul food restaurant with a pretty good following. I have only been once and had the seafood special (fried white fish, shrimp and fries). It was nothing spectacular, but what I expected. read more

Stopped here for dinner on our way home. Our meal was good, but several items were missing, the online ordering form is misleading and not accurate, and our order was not ready on time (25 min late). Ordered: -salmon patties with coleslaw, collards, and hushpuppies for $9.99 (delicious, flavorful, and filling) -fried chicken sandwich for $9.99 with yams (none of the included toppings were included, sandwich was bare) -black eyed peas for $2.75 (did not receive this item since they actually do not have it. Luckily I checked the order before leaving so that I could inform them. They swapped it out for more yams) -caramel pecan brownie for $4.95 (decadent and filling) -chocolate cake for $4.95 Pro: -they offer numerous items (all southern comfort foods) -affordable -portions are large -entrees and sides are delicious and filling -employees are friendly and efficient -all employees were wearing masks related to COVID-19. One was wearing her mask under her nose -areas to order/pay and pick-up meals were separated for social distancing. They are not open for dine-in Cons: -online menu is misleading. Some of the items offered they don't have. -online ordering was not working when I tried to order. I tried twice and ended up having to call in the order -online website says they have a drive thru and a separate drive thru menu. When I called to place the order the person taking the call said they are a restaurant and did not have a drive thru -takes a while to reach them over the phone -inaccurate orders (see above) -food was not ready on time. Ordered at 5:35 pm. It rang for about 5 minutes. Conversation was about 2 minutes long. We were informed that our order would be ready in 25 minutes. It was not ready when we arrived so they gave us a buzzer. I waited in the car and then went through the exit door (as instructed) to pick up the meal when the buzzer went off. Our order was ready about 50 minutes after we ordered. We stopped here while driving through the area. We are unlikely to return since we typically are not in this area. read more

You know you're in the right spot when you find a home cooking local spot that is packed. When we came in there was a line for dine in and a line for carry out. We waited for a table, but not too long. Everyone was friendly and the all the food we got was delicious. We had no room for dessert, but couldn't go without, so we took it to go. The prices are higher than some other home cooking spots, but the quality made up for it. read more

This place is packed. A sign of good food (I hope). Just ordered fried chicken, turnip greens, fried squash, and potato salad. Friend ordered meatloaf, collards, canned yams, and potato salad. Taking back to hotel for tonight fried livers with gravy and onions, rice, and a green. Friend getting a BBQ sandwich. I'm hungry so I hope it's good. Not that great. SLOW service. Food bland. Can't get carryout. Potato salad watery, no seasoning in the greens, fried chicken... just chicken.. Fried squash too thin. Taste more batter than squash. Disappointed that I can't get carryout plus poor business practice. Would not recommend. Will not be coming back. read more

Good food. Very good selection of soul food. Service is real.

Decided to grab some togo on easter since they weren't as busy as i thought they would be ordered over the phone and sent my boyfriend to pick up our food when he returned and i open my togo box i discovered what was supposed to be a side of baked mac and cheese was just a side of baked noodles w some sprinkled cheese on top , it's so disappointing cause i come here almost every sunday and i would've never expected this from them, being that it was a Sunday when i ordered the food they were closed the next 2 days , so i honestly forgot about it and just let it go but very disappointed in my favorite soul food spot in GSO and probably won't be returning read more
