The ambiance was okay, nothing fancy, nothing to write home about. There really wasn't service. You grabbed a menu from the front desk, you went to the register the order. She put your cups at the end of the counter and when the food was ready you, you were called up to grab it from the counter. You bus your own table. Idk if I would go out of my way to come back, but the food was pretty good.

I've drove past this place hundreds of times... I should have stopped.... I've been to New Orleans…read morea bunch of times. This place is a lot more informal than I was expecting, but does remind you of that cool bourbon street vibe. Pepsi.. got take points for that, but that's the only thing to complain here let me tell ya.The boil was great good, portions are great, and just let me say... all the food was crazy hot. Which I like that, fantastic. Bisque was good, étouffée was on point, bean and rice was savage, beignets were heavy/dense, crab seems fresh , great seasoning, just bring your own crab shell cracking implements. I guess customers stole them all or something. You're gonna want to stop at this place...

It's cafeteria style with pricing by the number of "mains" and sides you choose. We both selected fried chicken and it crispy, seasoned just right and juicy. The sides were plentiful. I chose squash casserole and Mac & cheese. My sister took mashed potatoes/gravy and buttered corn. All good. Price for entree, two sides, buttered roll and drink under $20. Place was busy at 12:40 PM but ample seating. Attentive staff checked on us frequently and provided to go drinks. Definitely would eat here again.

Stopped by Simmons Soul Food BBQ tonight while celebrating Marker 48's 10th anniversary, and wow…read more.. what an incredible find! This food truck is run by the sweetest husband-and-wife team, and their warmth alone makes you want to support them -- but the FOOD seals the deal. I mentioned I'd never had oxtail before, and the husband had his wife give me a sample. Holy smokes. One bite and I was sold. Ended up ordering the oxtail meal with rice, collard greens with ham, and black-eyed peas. Every single thing was absolutely delicious. And the sweet potato cornbread? Unreal. Moist, flavorful, and honestly one of the best pieces of cornbread I've ever had. Everything was fantastic from start to finish. I HIGHLY recommend stopping by and giving this food truck a try. They're kind, hardworking, and serving up truly amazing soul food. Don't miss them!

Got to do an order for a work meeting- I love Bbq so decided to try this one. This was an UberEats…read moreorder, can't say that would make it any different on my review. No utensils, as asked. Paid extra for a spicy BBq did not get. 7$ for a small scoop of potato salad- on the positive- it's at least good- but seriously not worth 7$. The meat is over cooked, dry and tough, can not even eat. The collard greens are decent, the Mac and cheese is basic. The chocolate cake is a light Bundt cake that's good! Not worth it, the potato salad would be the only reason I would return. Pretty disappointed across the board

The fried chicken was a tad bit overcooked. The yams weren't anything special, same goes for the Mac and cheese. Customer service was great though.

As soon as I heard that, I knew we were in for a treat! Being welcomed in before even arriving is just hospitality at its finest. Onto the food. I ordered the Snow Crab shilah, and let me tell y'all, I've dreamt about it ever since. The flavors in every bite were incredible; I was so full after eating half, but I couldn't put it down it was THAT GOOD! Oh, and don't skip out on their lemonades, especially the Blue Mermaid! I'll be counting the days until I'm able to go back. The ladies I talked to there were lovely, the food incredible and deserving of every recognition. If you're in the area, check it out. If I lived closer, I'd be there near daily. 10/10, highly recommend!
