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!

With that being said, it was worth the trip from the south hills to south side. I lucked out and grabbed an on street spot right out side for parking, and our food was ready upon arrival. I sat in the car, and my boyfriend ran in to grab our take out. I asked him the mask situation; and although the customers had masks on; the employees didn't. We ordered the king & queen feast because we wanted to try a little of everything. I'm glad we did! The portions were large, and super fresh. All handmade sides. 2 full lobster tails, shrimp, two crab clusters, AND four sides for $55 Looking forward to returning.

So let me get into this food, I was absolutely keeping my distance because as far as authentic ethnic food in Pittsburgh, it's been a wash. It seems as if everyone is trying to cater to the masses so the spice levels are lowered, the seasoning levels are lowered, the flavor is nonexistent. But Pauline's stayed true to the roots of Jamaican cuisine. This is where you go when you want REAL AUTHENTIC Jamaican food. That's it, that's all. Food Service Authenticity

Now, I am going to take you on a journey just like the books Belle read so strap in. We had a 5:45 PM reservation, and even arrived a few minutes early. The hostess/employee (I don't want to assume positions) took me upstairs for a table right by the window, which will be an awesome view when the construction finishes. It was also a beautiful sight of that part of the city as-is. When I was seated, I was one of a few tables seated. It was not full or even busy at that time. Also, as we were seated, we were given waters. My friend joined me about 5-7 minutes after the reservation time. We then ordered our drinks at about 6:00/6:05 PM. From there, we waited and did not meet our waiter, who will be referred to as sweet baby angel Max from here on out, until about 6:20 PM. We ordered an appetizer and two entrees at around this time. Our orders had some modifications but nothing major. By this time, many more tables were seated upstairs and others seemingly received their alcoholic drinks and even appetizers by the time we received only our drinks around 6:30-6:40. Our drinks were big, too, which is great, but that also meant we had to drink them a little more quickly due to the time constraints with the show. We were enjoying ourselves but noticed multiple more tables receiving not only their drinks and apps but also their entrees. Once 6:55 came, we had to tell sweet baby angel Max about our predicament. I will be honest and say we suggested for our drinks to be comped at least - not only for the wait and lack of courtesy with everyone else receiving their items before us despite our arrival and reservation time, but for the fact that we would have maybe 15 minutes to eat, finish our drinks, pay, take our food back to our cars, and make curtain time. What sweet baby angel Max did next flabbered our gasts -- he said not only will our drinks be comped but our whole meal will be comped. He also helped pack our food and kept it in the back so we didn't have to worry about going back to our cars. We made sure to tip him with all we had! We are so glad we did because when we returned after the show, he had the kitchen remake the food and kept it warm for us. When you go to The Eagle, ask for sweet baby angel Max and you will not be disappointed with him, the service, or the food. Because even when they may mess up? The Eagle gets it right with their classy attitude and positive treatment of their customers. You definitely have multiple return customers just from this encounter. Thank you!!!

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

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.
