    To go plates
    Jasmine T.

    I'm a Bama girl so I was so excited to see the Southern inspired menu. I stopped by and placed a to go order for lunch. The restaurant was easy to find and their team was friendly. They have family photos inside that helped give their space a cozy vibe. It's not big enough to dine in but there's some tables available if you want to wait on your order. I tried the fish and chicken plate with macaroni and greens...a win! I could tell by how hot the plate was when I got it that it was gonna be good. The greens were well seasoned and the mac was nice and cheesy. Excited to have found this place.

    Our 1st meal in Columbus & it doesn't disappoint. There are 2 small tables for their dine in customers. Food is very good especially the chicken. Staff are very friendly too

    Catfish dinner. It was almost 50% batter and un eatable crust. I suggest then getting a new supplier of catfish.

    Catfish was almost 50% overfried crust and batter. There wasn't much meat on the catfish. The sides were good but the catfish was not due to the pieces being half crust and batter. Service was ok...

    Great food and service! Sad not all items served at this location as the Budd Dairy location but still worth the visit!

    Three words: Country; Fried; Chicken. Wow…read more I decided to stop at this little local place while staying in town for the week based on some solid reviews (and the fact that I made some fried chicken of my own for my family last night but didn't really end up getting any before I left). I started out with a 101 Jungle Bird as I'm a rum drinker and liked the idea of a bourbon-forward one instead. I'll say that this was much more fruity than a Jungle Bird and without the bitterness (no Campari). It also didn't taste very strong but it definitely hit me pretty good. Definitely a tasty-but-dangerous one there. For food, I opted for the Country Fried Chicken. What a fantastic choice indeed. The breast was either butterflied or pounded flat but still thick enough to give a good bite. The outside was cooked to absolute perfection with a crunchy texture without being burned or underdone. The inside was tender and juicy. The whole piece was seasoned beautifully and that was even without any of the delicious white gravy. The Brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes that accompanied were similarly well done with great flavor. And the cherry on top was that the portion size was PERFECT. Not a ton of carbs and things that left me feeling beyond full or guilty that I had a bunch of leftover food to likely toss. The seat at the bar was a great place to be. A handful of seats staring at nothing but a huge wall of bourbon. To your back are a series of large high tops and, unfortunately for me, on this night were full of a rather loud group. An unintended side effect of the close quarters but I'm sure not a regular thing. The place is otherwise quite cozy and comfortable and in line with the southern cooking motif. My bartender, Mike, was also very friendly and happy to chat a little about my travels and share our regional sports experiences. All in all, absolutely outstanding. Great food, wonderful staff, and an impressive drink selection. I'm looking forward to coming back here again.

    Our server was friendly and efficient and she got all of our orders and checks correct. I'm not…read morecrazy about their style of cooking - Southern, I guess, with lots of deep-fried food but that's me, not the restaurant. Everyone else was ecstatic with their food. I ordered Gumbo and Fried Catfish and Okra and I liked it. Also, their Happy Hour specials are incredible - they're $7 each plus there were two extras that were not even on the menu!

    Sounded good on a cold day, and I was over this way. I've been meaning to come for a while, but…read moreit's just not on my usual route. Turn in at the light, and be careful about which driveway you pick- I think it's the second driveway, near a daycare, and it winds around back to the restaurant. You can see the place from James. Pretty busy at lunchtime, a few dine in and some carryout. Served cafeteria style, so you can see what you want, and drool over it. Well, there's a clear shield, but you know what I mean. I got smothered pork chops, since I hadn't had them forever. Meaty, tender, covered in gravy and onions. So so good, especially as comfort food on a cold day. You can also get them fried. Plenty of other things on the menu looked good. And all of the sides sounded good. I ended up getting one that was a mix of cabbage and greens, instead of getting the two separately, so that gave me space for another side. I went with mac & cheese. Sweetie's mom's mac is the best in the world. I'm not kidding. This is not quite that good, but is a very good homemade version, loaded with cheese, and baked in a big pan. Service was excellent. Prices are a bit steep, but good for the quantity and quality. Canned pop. Cheap plasticware. I was leery, but the pork chops were so tender that even a plastic knife pulled them apart easily. Hardly needed it. The place is not fancy inside. Old, but clean, a few booths and tables. You're there for the food, not the decor. Or, come in and pick it up and take it home. And have better silverware... I will definitely be back. I loved what I got, and was enticed by some of the other things.

    Best seafood boil I've had in Columbus!…read more Kai's Crab Boil is hands down one of my favorite seafood spots in Columbus. The gumbo is fantastic and honestly some of the most authentic I've had here in Columbus. It's packed with flavor and really stands out. Their shrimp and crab with the garlic butter sauce at a medium heat level is absolutely incredible. The seasoning and spice are perfect, and paired with their cornbread... OMG It's SO good! The service was great, and the ambiance was really nice too. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. If you're looking for a seafood boil with authentic Cajun/Creole flavors, I definitely recommend Kai's. Everything we had was delicious, and I can't wait to go back!

    So this was the Goog apology for literally being asked to leave after spending $300 at this place…read moreAWFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE I make a bad Review and this is the Apology ‍ If you don't have space on Major occasions then You Should not take large Parties and make that plain You certainly took the money and the 18% gratuity tip. AWFUL SERVICE AND A EVEN WORSE EXCUSE We deeply apologize if this policy was not clearly communicated to your party by our hosting staff upon your arrival. It is never our intention to make our guests feel rushed, and we regret that the reminder from our management came across as harsh or selective. This limit was applied to all tables that day so we could honor the reservation times of waiting guests.

Theres nothing like some good home cooked southern food! Continuing with the ambiance the atmosphere was something I didn't know I needed as well. It felt almost like home, so clean with a refreshing and smooth vibe. Not to mention the art that decorated the walls, and the track list, whoo we ended our lunch to some Stevie Wonder! And the service! Oh goodness I wish I could remember my servers name for the life of me, but she was a brown skinned women with golden locs and glasses and she was just amazing! She actually pointed me in the direction of the lamb chops and she made great conversation without hovering over the table at the same time! Ugh it's nothing like soul food or black owned, I plan on returning next Sunday and plan to frequent that location much more after that! Thank you Soul 2 Go!

The blackened salmon pasta (reminds me of Cajun pasta) and the honey soul with fried chicken and fried corn cornbread with honey...It was so delicious. The order was ready pretty quickly when I got there. You can also order from a kiosk when you walk in the door, but I did an online order from the local food app before going over there. It looks like a nice casual environment with bar seating available. Kind of small - It was very busy.
