My husband and I came in yesterday evening after seeing all the great reviews. Before coming, I…read moredidn't realize they don't offer the typical 1-meat, 2-meat, or 3-meat combo plates like most barbecue spots. The only actual plate option was the chicken. Everything else is sold by the pound, and the sides are all à la carte. We ordered quite a few sides: one spicy mac and cheese, one regular mac and cheese, green beans, two yams, and two beans. The mac and cheese could definitely use more seasoning. The spicy version mainly relied on whatever heat they added but still lacked depth of flavor. The other sides were decent and overall enjoyable. The meat itself was good, but we did receive some noticeably fatty pieces. What I can't get past is the price compared to the portion of meat you actually get. For what we paid, it just didn't feel worth it, and that alone makes it unlikely we'll return. One other thing that stood out was that all the hot food on the steam table and the cold items on ice were uncovered when we walked in and remained that way while we ordered. That really turned me off from trying the banana pudding and potato salad. The food wasn't terrible, but for the price and overall experience, it just didn't quite hit the mark for us.

We were catering a memorial service for my dad who passed away and everyone was going to be at the cemetery when we had the catering delivered. We had our trusted neighbors open up the house for their team to deliver and set up the food before we all returned. They set everything up and had the food ready to serve all ready to go for when we got back to the house. Looking back I really wish I would have taken a photo of the setup when we got home. The food was amazing and the service top notch! Worth every penny. Will definitely use them again in the future!!

Unfortunately, the food didn't match the quality of the service. I ordered a 1/2 slab of beef ribs for about $45 before tax. They *looked* perfectly seasoned, but the flavor just wasn't there. It honestly tasted like pepper seasoning was thrown on after cooking. The biggest disappointment was the texture, the meat was extremely tough, easily the toughest ribs I've ever had. The only highlight was the barbecue sauce, which was actually pretty good, but not enough to save the dish. Overall, despite the nice vibes and friendly staff, the food missed the mark for me. Nothing about this experience would make me return

It was making a delivery to Inn that led to spotting this Soul food spot. Inside it's a vibrant, inviting yellow themed front space and dining room. Very conducive to good moods. I decided that the mini combo, with one side and cornbread, was a good value at $13.99, whereas the full combo adds a second side and costs $17.99. Lots of choices, including several styles of chicken, the smothered pork chops both sounded, and looked good. I saw a plate being assembled before I ordered. And the oxtail also appealed. Future trips will expand the experience. Ultimately, it was the pot roast that I ordered, with rice (or not if you prefer), and the greens rounded out the side choice. I proceeded to devour the entire meal in short order. The pot roast was amazing. Killer gravy, melt in the mouth tenderness, and the greens were another pleasant surprise. Hard to say what I tasted other than absolute goodness! Well done, and the host and her assistant were also warm and friendly. Über Eats, and possibly Doordash can deliver to your door.

amazing and friendly service. good and peaceful ambiance. even better food! the place is very nice…read moreand clean. we got the hawaiian house special fried rice which comes with chicken, beef, and shrimp as the protein. all rice plates come with sweet pineapple, corns, green onion mixed in. the plate was loaded and full of protein in each bite. for $13.59 you cannot beat it! great portion especially for the price. doesn't come with any sides but it doesn't need them. it is the perfect combination of sweet and salty. not too oily, not under seasoned, not cold, just perfect. we also shared the hawaiian bbq mix plate that comes with macaroni salad, rice, and steamed vegetables (under the meat) as sides. the proteins are bbq chicken, bbq beef, and kalbi short ribs and you get all that for $15.99!! the meat is all well cooked and seasoned. the macaroni salad was very delicious and not sugary or sweet like other places. it was the perfect salad...i just wish there was more of it haha! would be awesome if sides were two scoops or just a little bit more. the steamed veggies were also delicious. nothing ordinary about them because they are just places under the proteins so they soak up the juices and are perfectly steamed. rice is amazing too! even tasted better than just regular white rice made at home. employees are busy but ready to help if need be. they have self serve sauce stations which was very cool! i really enjoyed the curry sauce with the rice and the teriyaki with some of the protein (even though they are perfect without sauces also). they also have a poke bowl station which seems so yummy and fresh. it is also a good price at $13.95 for a small with 2 scoops, $15.95 for medium 3 scoops, and $17.89 for a large with 4 scoops. also a plus is that they gave free refills for dining in. only con i can think of is some of the meat being too tough/chewy. i think it was the beef. when i would get a piece with the rice it would be too chewy to eat but i think it was probably just connective tissue (?) it just made me spit out a lot of the smaller meat pieces. just part of eating meat i guess but my mom agreed it was a bit too chewy/full of fat. however, would love to come back and try the seafood plates, a poke bowl, and to have more macaroni salad!!
