Lamar was the perfect host, polite, informative, and attentive. He was ready with suggestions and they were a hit with both myself and my friend. I had the two eggs platter, but the side waffle stole the show! The peach cobbler waffle was such a sweet surprise. Definitely a must! My friend had the fish hoagie and quite enjoyed it. Her side of bacon was ample. A revisit is assured. read more

Got the catfish collard greens and cabbage. Food was great service was great. Place was empty. Don't know why. They do automatically charge a 20% gratuity but for good service I tip that anyway and service was great read more

The food here is excellent. The macaroni was blended with several cheeses I think and with the fried crumble that makes it so outstanding. The sautéed spinach has a great balance of garlic and oil but not too much. My catfish balanced its fried crispiness well. They forgot the tartar sauce and I didn't want to ask for it because it took awhile and there seemed to be some confusion. The mango tea maybe could've used more mango flavor but it was fine. The iced tea was not too sweet- very classy. They seem to have a hard time keeping up with orders on a busy night- so be mindful of that. The food is worth the wait. Staff is very friendly. I think the staff was collecting info electronically but navigating through the software and not having a good system for what table needs what food and who is to serve what table may be discombobulating to some among the staff and customers at different points of view. The bathroom needed fixing because a customer didn't have things in order inside of it. There was another bathroom not expected to have to be used but it had no soap in it. With the size of this place sectioned off in two, is there only one toilet? I didn't check to find out since I didn't have to. A small thing was that I accidentally was charged for my friend's meal and vice versa but my friend and I decided not to fuss about it because it was a $1 difference as long as I paid for his entree which was attached to my drink. They were out of yams and some other side. The potatoes and the way they were seasoned were one of the best that my friend has had. One of the customers next to us told us this was the 4th day this place was open. With all the hiccups, I would recommend offering random food to go as an extra bonus or a discount to respective customers if possible . I understand not wanting to offer a discount - especially for a restaurant just starting off. With the jazzy music playing tonight, it fit the vibe so well. The place wasn't too loud but the volume was enough to hear it. This place really feels out balance well in its food, decor, and music. They may have r&b instead of jazzy numbers playing as well. Addendum 10/26/25: I thought of more things I need to add. I personally like that Terrell's wants to infuse technology to make for a potentially smoother process. Lack of paper is sustainable. However, the tiny devices that are typically used for collecting payment only is too hard to navigate as the screen is small and the software might not be the best. Tablets would be more appropriate because the screen is big enough but also thin enough to still be reasonably portable. Also makes things easier to split bills and customize properly etc. I understand that cost could be a factor- so starting back to old school paper is probably most appropriate. If typical paper doesn't suit the setting well, there must be nicer pads of paper to suit the environment well. I want this place to do well and I think it will but much time is needed to work out the kinks. While there is no one right way, there are definitely things that aren't quite working either. read more

Went over after work for the Seafood Social. I was pissed caused what I should of did was went home, got fresh, got me a bottle of wine, THEN CAME OVER!! The vibes were so mello, staff friendly! The Band was very awesome and exciting. I just wish I didn't have my work close on, I seriously wanted to chill. Iam a home body, but this is a cool place. Me being from Chester, this is not something Iam used to. I don't live in Chester anymore, but I am not too far either I will definitely be back! My hubby loved the Alfredo. I could only eat a little being as though I am now on GLP-1 meds. (TMI) but that folk full I had was delicious. Terrell's really takes pride in their business of Hospitality and Food Service. Me being a Certified Chef with a Degree in Hotel Restaurant Management and several Hospitality certificates, this place gets a Gold Star as far as Iam concerned. I'll be back!!! Do y'all Thang read more

The contractor did a lovely job on the building but the food was not all that good for me.
