I visited during the Juneteenth Festival, so the restaurant was understandably busy. Because of the…read morecrowd, the food took a little longer than expected to come out, but not excessively so. Most importantly, everything arrived hot and fresh, which I always appreciate when a restaurant is handling a large volume of customers. The service was friendly throughout my visit. The restaurant offers both dine-in and takeout options, with a good amount of seating available inside as well as televisions throughout the space. I ordered the four-piece wing meal, which came with two sides. I chose the collard greens and mac and cheese, along with the cornbread that came with the meal. The mac and cheese was the biggest disappointment for me. It was not particularly cheesy or flavorful, and it reminded me more of a stovetop boxed mac and cheese than a traditional homemade soul food version. It did not appear to be baked, although I could be mistaken. The collard greens were decent, but they also lacked some of the depth of flavor I was hoping for from a soul food restaurant. They were enjoyable enough, but not especially memorable. The cornbread was easily my favorite part of the meal. It was thick, moist, slightly sweet, and full of flavor. I would happily order that again. As for the wings, they were cooked very well. They were hot, juicy, and not dry at all. While I thought they could have used a bit more seasoning or flavor, the texture and preparation were excellent. One thing that did catch my attention was the dessert selection. Everything looked delicious, and if I were to return, it would likely be to try one of the desserts rather than another entrée. Overall, the experience was pleasant, and the staff handled the festival crowd well. While the food did not quite meet my expectations for a soul food spot, there were a few highlights, particularly the cornbread and the well-cooked wings.

I had been so excited to see Black Wall Street. After being irritated at knowing the history and…read morejust imagining how beautiful and thriving the area once was, I thought some comfort food would hit the spot. I had a vegetable plate after staring at the menu and only seeing protein options of fish (swai, catfish, talapia), chicken, or pork chop. Black eyed peas were good; cabbage was over cooked beyond recognition and was brown; green beans were too salty, which I exchanged for mac & cheese; and the fried green tomatoes were sliced sandwich thin--the fry coating might have been thicker than the actual tomato slice. All I could taste was the fried coating. Another order was whole fried catfish, catfish filet, wings, mac & cheese, and green beans; peach cobbler for dessert and blue Kool-Aid. The cobbler was ice cold, straight from the cooler with soggy crust, no cinnamon/nutmeg. My vegetables were luke warm. Best thing for me was the cornbread and peas. $50 on mediocre food. Such a let down. I expected so much more. Wishing I didn't have a 2 day reservation, I was ready to get back on the road and head home.

GAVE ME FOOD POISONING- We visited My Momma's House on March…read more21 around 6:00 PM (they opened at 5:00 PM), and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. The patio seating area was extremely hot, with little to no airflow, making it uncomfortable to sit for an extended period. We placed our order around 6:20 PM. Initially, the hostess advised against ordering the meatloaf, explaining it would take "a while" (about 20 minutes). However, when we asked the owner, Chris, he told us it would be ready in 10 minutes, so we decided to proceed with the order. Our table ordered four meals: two meatloaf dinners, catfish, wings, and soul rolls. One meal (the catfish) arrived within about 10 minutes, but the remaining dishes were not served until 7:22 PM--over an hour later. This meant we were unable to eat together, and most of our party sat waiting in uncomfortable conditions for over an hour without any updates or communication from staff. When we raised our concerns, the owner's response felt dismissive. Chris and his mother were sadly unable to take accountability for our bad experience, even after mentioning 2 of us got food poisoning, instead he said that I the consumer "approached them wrong" as if I am not a paying customer who is trying to actually give feedback! While I was disappointed with the slow service and hot conditions I was never rude to them! He initially explained that the delay was due to the meatloaf taking longer to cook than the fish. However, when I pointed out that my meal had arrived nearly an hour earlier and could have been timed with the rest of the table, he then stated that the hostess had not grouped the tickets together, so he was unaware the orders were for the same table. This explanation did not make sense, as all of our receipts clearly showed the same table number. He did offer a refund, but to be clear, we were not seeking a free meal--we were looking for accountability and to provide feedback that could improve the customer experience. To make matters worse, both myself AND cousin who ordered the meatloaf became severely ill with food poisoning within hours of eating, which raises serious concerns about food safety and handling. We were genuinely excited to support a Black-owned business, which makes this experience even more disappointing. While the food we did receive tasted good, it does not make up for the excessive wait time, lack of communication, poor customer service, and now serious health concerns. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I would not return or recommend this restaurant.

When you get there you order at the counter and then find you a table. There were plenty empty tables even though there were lots of people there. The ambience was nice, we were able to sit comfortably and carry conversation. My son and I ordered the catfish and shrimp combo, with a side of green beans, fries, and onion rings and it also comes with two hush puppies. The green beans were delicious. The hush puppies were good but I prefer just plain regular old hush puppies. These tasted like they had maybe jalapeño in it. They went spicy just a little kick to them. The serving size is a big portion for the combos. It came with three fish fillets. The fish was fried good but it lacked seasoning. The shrimp was good! We all actually liked the shrimp. The fries were good too there was just a lot. My son loved the onion rings. My husband ordered the jumbo shrimp combo and he loved his shrimp. They were fried perfectly. He also got a side of corn which was good. I saw this place on TikTok and that's what brought me here. Like I said it was good and I love the fact that it is made fresh right there,but it lacked seasoning. Oh and I also loved that it wasn't fishy, if that makes sense.

I gotta small Soul Bowl with rice, lemon garlic chicken, candied yams & green beans. The moment I…read moretook the first bite, it brought me back to my adolescence when I had chicken & rice and the rice would be so perfect. As I got older (& started learning how to cook), I found out the main trick was chicken stock. I didn't want the bowl to end. Plenty of rice, plenty of chicken, plenty of green beans, plenty of candied yams. There's no need to add extra, not even hot sauce, just leave it as is. As a small, it still had more than a lot of food. With a large, I'm confident it could be shared or you'll be guaranteed to have leftovers. Outside of the chicken, you can get beef tips or shrimp. Instead of rice, you can get mashed potatoes. There are two other sides outside of the ones I chose: mac & cheese and cabbage. The small bowl came at $9.99, I got a separate side of mac & cheese and my whole order came out under $20. The person who took my order was super nice. With about 5 people in front of me, the food came out not even 10 mins later. I'd like to try their beef tips & mashed potatoes next time.

The customer service was really friendly and welcoming, making the experience quite enjoyable. I…read moretried the beef tips over rice with sweet potatoes and macaroni and cheese, along with a lemon cake and lemonade tea. While I appreciated that they used premixed tea, I wish they had gone for fresh tea in the South--it just felt more authentic that way. The beef tips were tasty, though I have to say, they didn't quite match the deliciousness of Wanda.J's. They did use a higher quality rice in basmati rice, which was nice. The yams were not overly sweet and quite good. The macaroni and cheese was a bit lacking something, but it was still decent. As for the lemon cake, I enjoyed the large piece and the fresh lemon juice poured on top. I think a thicker lemon glaze could really elevate the cake and make it even more delightful.

So good that for date night we drove two hours to come back just for their food. Apps Also the garden dip is always a favorite app when we go here now. Entrees Recommend the personal crab boil. They give you in my opinion the perfect ratio of potato, crab shrimp, sausage, and corn. Choose all three seasoning together. You won't regret it. The lobster Mac was good too if you want simple and not as spicy. The crawfish etoufe. It was a little bland but hella spicy. Don't recommend. Desserts For desserts we tried bread pudding, beignets, and the chocolate cake. The bread pudding is like a square block of condensed bread pudding, delicious but those having issues with textures were not a fan. The chocolate cake was super hurt your teeth sweet maybe get a glass of milk to go with it. Beignets were a hit, perfect sweetness level hot and were devoured in minutes. Drinks: Drinks that were ordered were whiskey based. I was not a fan but whiskey drinkers might like. We ordered one cocktail that was more sour than expected and had a strong pour. They were generous. If the food is good don't forget to buy the kitchen a round of beers for $12

The shrimp were tiny and the sandwich was covered with a sauce I didn't like. It should have occurred to me that the fried green tomatoes might also be Cajun. We don't like Cajun but thought the sandwiches might not have all the Cajun seasoning. We should have asked. Another lady at the table got the same thing and she didn't like hers, either. She did ask for ranch dressing for the fried green tomatoes. I followed suite. It did make the tomato's easier to eat but they still were not good. We only got 3 slices each and didn't finish them. I left almost all of my sandwich. I broke off a piece of the bread hoping it might be a good rich bread that I could nibble on. No luck. My husband ordered crawfish étouffée. He said it wasn't warm and tasted like it had been under a heat lamp too long. It was also salty and he has to watch his sodium. He left nearly all of it. One couple ordered voodoo chicken and smashed potatoes. They liked it and ate it all. One person got a chicken sandwich that he said was good. The 2 children got hamburgers and Mac and cheese. They loved the Mac and cheese but barely ate any of the burgers. Their grandmother took a bite of one of the burgers and said it was good. She took the burgers home for the kids. They put the gratuity on the check without telling us. My husband was about to add a gratuity but his sister noticed it was already added and stopped him. They charged us to use a credit card. That alone is enough to keep me from going back. The ambiance was New Orleans decor and pleasant.

How many of you have heard of Sunday Dinner by Janet? I love good soul food, so when I heard of…read morethis place, we had to try it. While called Sunday Dinner, we came for a Saturday lunch. I wasn't able to find many photos of the place and wasn't sure what to expect. We walked in and discovered they serve "buffet" style similar to Nelson's. She ordered the smothered chicken, and I had the smothered pork chops. They had quite a selection of sides, yet somehow we both got mac n cheese and broccoli rice casserole. This never happens as we usually coordinate and order different items just to try more things. Our meats tasted great and were super tender. The mac was flavorful, and the casserole was good, but a little too mushy for my taste. Let me know if you've been and what you thought of it. And if you haven't, go give them a try and support a real local restaurant.
