I thought I saw a new sign on this building, and then I saw a crowd the other day, so I stopped in as soon as I could. It's a little place in a small strip mall. Carryout, mainly, though there is a small counter where you could eat a quick lunch. Several kinds of fried fish, fried chicken, pork chops, etc. There was a meatloaf special the day I went. Choose your meat and get two sides- but you'll have trouble narrowing it down to two, so you might want to get some extras! It all smelled and looked great. I got the fried perch, with mac and cheese and greens; and smothered pork chops, with cabbage and sweet potato casserole. They also had mashed potatoes, broccoli casserole, and a few other sides. The perch was perfect: hot, tender and flaky, light breading. The pork chops were very good: meaty, fried up nicely, with a good gravy. The mac and cheese was very good home-made style (though it has to compete with Sweetie's mom's pinnacle of excellence, and it is close but not up there.) The greens were excellent- vinegary, tender, flavorful. The cabbage was perfect: not overcooked, and a few other veggies thrown in for color. The sweet potatoes were so good I had to slow myself down. Service was friendly and fast. Prices are very reasonable- we got all that for under $20, and it was plenty. We'll be back. Even though Sweetie is averse to "shacks" (I told her it's in a strip mall, not a shack; she was unimpressed.)

Bought the 3 piece fried perch with 2 sides and added sides and shared with my hubby on Juneteenth! LET ME TELL YOU it was a plate full of divine yum!!!!! YOU will not be disappointed!!! The fried perch was crispy and delicious, the cabbage had a flavorful kick, the green beans were perfectly spiced, the macaroni and cheese melted in my mouth so buttery tasty and the sweet yams were a sweet delicacy!! The service was welcoming and the food was fresh and piping hot. Do come and taste for yourself!!! Will return definitely!! Already recommended to friends!!!!

This is a small, unassuming place on the same side as the old dairy queen on Sunbury Rd that you'd probably miss if you weren't looking for it. There is a small table for sitting but it's basically carryout only as the inside is pretty small. First of all, the staff were very welcoming and friendly from the moment I walked in the door. Soul food is my JAM so I was super geeked to try this place and it did not disappoint. Fried fish, mac and cheese, and yams, amen. The yams were some of the best I've tasted, it almost tasted like there was some vanilla in them, the mac and cheese was cheesy and just right, and the fried fish was crunchy and seasoned to perfection. I also had a dessert and I'm honestly not sure what it was, it had a pudding cake texture and was the perfect end to my meal. Good Kitchen 614 goes on my list of soul food restaurants to recommend.

We came in with a group of 7 without a reservation and originally were told 30 minute wait which…read moredidn't seem long for how busy they were. Within 20 minutes we received our text and were seated. The ambiance was fun and relaxing to the seating to the music, all a good vibe. Our waiter, Preston, was amazing. From start to finish he brought the energy and recommended a few things! White Sangria was amazing. Make sure to get the biscuits and you'll need more because they are . We shared the street corn nachos and you'll have to try the freshest jalapeños on them, by far the best nachos ever! I kept with the theme and did the Al pastor tacos but with grilled chicken plus queso and chips on the side! Stuffed and amazed at how quick yet fresh and delicious everything was. Every single person kept saying how great their meal was. Danielle, the manager even stopped by to make sure everyone was taken care of! After an amazing meal like that we had to try the desserts, the butter cake and banana were both great but definitely think if you only get one, the butter cake is where it's at. I will absolutely make sure to plan a visit here on my next trip.

As always, asked for recommendations from our server. Shout out to Jett because everything he recommended I loved! Favorite part of the meal was the short rib and carrot hummus and the cheddar scallion biscuits. I liked it so much I actually thought of ordering some to go. Menu has so many options to choose from, it caters to many types of palettes. My bevy, the Blackberry Cooler, was refreshing. My friend got the non alcoholic version and said it was too tart. Only disappointment of the night was they ran out of the brown butter cake. The banana caramel cake was still a good substitution. Plenty of parking but do recommend to make a reservation to avoid long wait times. Cant wait to come back and enjoy a happy hour.

Absolutely beautiful restaurant. Feels like a dream to be inside. The ambiance and service was…read moreabsolutely amazing . They were very forgiving to me not liking the drink, got the wrong side and offered to bring the correct one out. Left the broccolini on the table aswell. I really enjoyed my lunch, I had lamb . Which was mad fantastically. The petite lamb chops were very easy to eat. And so tender, I got them pink. Shrimp was OK. I got the cucumber mojito which was amazing aswell. Definitely pay for the experience but worth every penny in my opinion. I would love to come back and visit to try more dishes.

I was excited to try RH Rooftop, and the experience was ultimately okay-- just that…read more Went early on a Thursday evening (4:45) in the hopes of enjoying a happy hour, as that had been advertised at other RH locations. This one didn't offer one, which was a general disappointment (and offering to be might benefit them-- the place was dead for most of the two hours we were there). The space is beautiful and luxurious: a lovely fountain is in the center and signature chandeliers fill the dining area. I was a little disappointed that the choices of seating were were given -- though the place was empty-- was either a very small table (so small our servers apologized for having to awkwardly stack things as dishes came out) or a table attached to the only other large party dining there. Felt like a very strange choice. Also, while the place is very upscale and very expensive, that vibe was somewhat at odds with other diners who did arrive in what literally looked like old pajama pants and workout gear. The food was all good, but portions are very small for the big prices: entrees are all in the $50 range, sandwiches in the $30 range. A "petite" baked potato (which is petite indeed) was $14; burrata was $26. It was fine, but you can have a true consistently upscale experience elsewhere for those kinds of prices. I'd come back -- if there was a happy hour!

First time at Derive…read more Good amount of parking. The space is somewhat small but is done well. The bar has a good vibe and is where I sat. I got the Korean BBQ smash burger topped with Korean BBQ aioli, Cleveland Kraut Kimchi, gochugaru (korean chili flake) and scallion. I don't understand the smash burger craze since I like my burgers medium rare, but if I have to eat a smash burger to enjoy these toppings, I'm in! The heat, texture and combination of flavors were epic. The fries are well done too! They were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and this was even after 30 minutes. Nothing fancy but done amazingly well and very quickly. My burger was out in a few minutes. I will say that the pizzas I saw coming out of the kitchen will have me coming back to try one of them. The beer was good, although I'll admit that the heat from the burger affected my pallet to truly enjoy the beers since I got a tasting flight. I was here on a Friday night between 5:45 and 7 and it was filling up until I was ready to head out. They do have happy hour on Friday from 2-5pm for $1 off pints.

I've been here twice over the years, including a stop most recently after work on a Wednesday…read moreevening in November. The staff are SUPER friendly and welcoming. I loved that. I appreciate when walking into someplace I'm unfamiliar with, I am welcomed in graciiously, even though they don't know me at all. I ordered a flight of beer so I could try a few different beers. I also ordered a pint afterward of one of the IPAs I enjoyed. My server recommended some flavors to try while I was there and he was spot on. (I interacted with two different servers, one male, one female, both equally helpful and friendly). I would return, only in part for good beer, moreso it's the inviting feel I get from this place. This staff realizes that we have options around town and they made me feel like they wanted me there.

This had been several places since I've lived nearby. Originally an old-school Dairy Queen (and…read moreyou can tell.) Then a local version, Dairy Dream or something. Then an assortment of ice cream and food places. Now Gold Coast Kitchen, with fried chicken, fried fish, cheesesteaks, burgers, and West African food. Jollof rice and chicken, fried okra, fried plantains, Jamaican beef patties (which seem to pop up everywhere,) and: ice cream. Velvet ice cream, a dozen or so flavors. It'll be a hit in summer for ice cream, and K wanted some today, when it's in the teens. I passed. She liked hers, cookies and cream with whipped cream. I wasn't hungry but was tempted by the food menu. Next time. Call ahead for food- cooked to order, and fried food takes a bit. Friendly owner. Big parking lot, drive-through, tables and walk-up counter out front. Be careful going in and out off Sunbury.

There has been at least three restaurants in this building within the past 2 years and I was…read moresurprised that it had changed hands again. I ordered the wings and fries and the wings were very good. I did not get any lemon pepper on wings, but I think I might try a little next time... I was afraid that it may be too salty. The french fries could have been fried a little longer...I like mine crispy. Excellent customer service. Menu items reasonably priced. Will definitely return when I have a taste for fried wings. I will try fish next visit.
