I saw this spot on my timeline on social media and of course it had me craving soul food so off I went. Apparently, they have two locations but this particular one is in the E Palmer Supermarket in Norfolk.
It's cafeteria style where the food is already made and you pick your selection. I waited in line for about 30 minutes before I got to the front. Why, because the people behind the counter are just slow and unorganized.
Anyways, I got the turkey wings, cabbage, collard greens and It came with a roll. My hubs got fried chicken, yams, and Mac and cheese. The food looked so yummy and I knew I was in for a treat!
Got home and I was ready until the first bite. It didn't wow me and the food was a little too bland. The food wasn't salty so I appreciated that but it was overall just ok. The yams were so sweet, it was an instant rush. They used smoke turkey in their collards and cabbage and it tasted like that was the only seasoning used too. The fried chicken isn't cooked to order, it's under a heat lamp so that made it taste old and hard. We couldn't finish our food at all. Maybe I picked the wrong food item or it was an off day- Sunday or maybe this place isn't for me :-( read more
