It did get busier by the time we left All of us enjoyed exploring the menu and talking about all the choices Everyone found something they really enjoyed.

We will come again!

That's an entree I share with the boyfriend because otherwise I'd just go crazy. The cornbread stuffing is one of the best things I've ever had in my life. I love that stuffed chicken so much too. The boyfriend loves your fish stew and shrimp po' boy. I can't wait to get home to Pittsburgh to taste you again. Signed, Your biggest fan

First off, it wasn't clear to me until I got there that this was takeout only. Yelp has separate…read moreentries for Carmi Soul Food and Carmi Express, and I thought they were separate outlets. That it was takeout only presented a dilemma for me, as I was just visiting the North Side for the day by bus and foot, and had no place to take my order. Of the two people behind the counter, one could not have cared less about my dilemma, but the other was of some help with this and my order. I wound up walking two blocks downhill to a park with benches. Second, that all orders are cooked to order and take 25 minutes. Fortunately there is a branch of the Pittsburgh Public Library across the street and it was open, so that occupied my time. The food: the chicken and catfish are fried in light crispy breading, very fine. The chicken wingettes were delicious. The catfish was not easily flaked and was ever so slightly rubbery, which would have been a very bad sign if it had been any more so. But it wasn't too bad. Green beans are a good side dish at this sort of joint, and these were good, seasoned with meat and sautéed onions mixed in. The white rice was entirely plain but tasty.

The first couple times I ordered food from the restaurant was not ideal. There were things missing…read moreand it took a long time.... BUT I STAND CORRECTED! I ordered from them today since I was craving soul food and I'm glad I placed the order here! I was a little hesitant due to past events, but totally satisfied and pleased with everything! This time around, I ordered the family meal special. The one I ordered came with fish, wings, and 2 sides (I got Mac and cheese and greens). I also ordered loaded fries, but they sent a loaded potato instead (totally fine I like baked potatoes). Everything was amazing! The quality and taste were superb and the food was still fresh and hot upon delivery. I'm cool with the replacement instead of just not sending anything in it's place if they're out of what I ordered. Also, the only other suggestion would be to include a larger size option for the sides for the family meal special. The meal could feed 3 comfortably though and still have food leftover. I would say at max it could feed 5. Love it and will frequent in the future!

I was a little disappointed my 3 piece dark meat didn't come with a thigh but thats ok. The white cheddar grits were well cooked. I wasn't a huge fan of the flavor but that might just be white cheddar. Hubs had the chicken BLT that had a great flavor from the chicken breading and other sauces. The bread was super crispy and perfectly golden brown. Stop by if you're in the area and need a yummy quick meal!

The fried chicken was solid but not amazing, all of the sides were good but not great, our food came out all at different times, and one of the sides I ordered never arrived, only to be told later they didn't have It in house anyways. I wanted to love the Eagle. I liked It! I'm just not sure I liked It enough to return.

Place is an absolute shit hole on the inside. Given the location with the exterior and surrounding…read morebuildings it's not a surprise. Each time I've went inside the people always seemed annoyed. But oh my god is that chicken bomb. They deep fry the whole check wing so the flat and drum are attached. It's very greasy so if you got a sensitive stomach be careful. They then load it with a homemade dry ranch seasoning that makes this even better Now. It's 3/5 because 1.) I don't like fried chicken much to begin with. Only when I really want to hate myself I want it and this is the spot for it 2.) Service and inside both shit I would really recommend this spot but def a different location, all taste the same

We ended up here Friday of labor day weekend when the first two places we tried to go were closed…read more It wasn't amazing, alas. My friend ordered pulled chicken and was sick to her stomach the rest of the day - whether it was cross contamination from pork (which she's allergic to) or overuse on antibiotics she wasn't sure. The rest of us didn't get sick but weren't super impressed either. My husband and I split a pulled pork + 1/2 chicken plate with baked beans and macaroni salad. The pork didn't taste smoky at all. The chicken was marginally better but still smoke didn't really permeate the meat. The beans were the best part, we liked those. The mac was all right. All in all, if you know good Bbq, it probably won't impress, but if you can't find anyplace open or are staying in the hotel next door, it is fast and they do give you a lot. They also had Cheerwine which was my favorite part.
