The building may be small but it's the perfect size for a busy kitchen and small front area to pick up great take-out food. Wow....can they put out some amazing down home southern food. They're all very friendly and welcoming and once again....man can they cook. I had the chopped BBQ, candied yams, collard greens, and cornbread. The chopped BBQ is spicy and vinegary. It didn't even need barbeque sauce, but you can get that as well. The candied yams had a spice that I couldn't figure out but it was addictive. I just wanted more. Collard greens were excellent. Cornbread was moist and tender. My wife wasn't that hungry so she ordered the Mac & Cheese. Warm, comforting, and cheesy. She loved it. My cornbread was so good that she ended up eating most of it. Couldn't ask for much more than that. Next time we order I'm going to try the Smothered Pork Chops.

The place is tiny and in a residential neighborhood, so if you blink, you'll miss it! The meal satisfied the craving (the fried whiting and collard greens were Banging!)

The aesthetics of this place is gorgeous. I love the option of eating in or out and since it's still warm enough, we decided to eat outside. I did not realize that this please only existed for six years. Their menu looks phenomenal and I went with the rodeo brisket, burger topped with onion rings, bacon, and their special sauce, which I am unfamiliar with, but it was so delicious. My Bestie got a beef brisket platter with onion rings and they are literally in a full food coma. That's how good it is. The service was top notch and we only waited about 15 minutes tops. Fast, very friendly, and attentive. Definitely will be coming back. Please come out and support this business, it is worth it trust me! Thank you for making my first time a wonderful experience. If I could give more stars I would be this place made it to my top 5 must try places to try out this year! Cheers

I have only ever ordered takeout from them and they are a hit or miss every time. The service is…read moregood and the atmosphere is welcoming. When it comes to the food thats where problems fall. On some days the meat is very dry and requires tons of bbq sauce, on others the meat is juicy and flavorful. It's never consistent. Today however i ordered a brisket meal with Mac and cheese and smoked sausage and the brisket and sausage were a 8/10 each. The Mac however is where the inconsistency shined through. It was SOUR. It tasted very very sour! It was like they plopped the Mac and cheese in the plate and poured pickle juice all over it. Not to mention the bbq sauce is also very inconsistent in flavor today was more tangy/ sour than other days. They were both gross. I couldn't stomach the flavor and it was very disappointing and dropped the meal to a 5/10 overall.

Is that even a thing? Well whatever it is, there is no denying that the seafood is fresh. I was impressed as I watched the owner cleaning the shrimp that he was about to cook! Everything is done fresh, so be prepared for a little wait if there are others ahead of you. No patience, well call ahead! Problem solved. Lol. As far as taste, it was good but could have used a little dash of salt to bring out more of the seafood's flavor. Gotta love the taste if fresh seafood! The only con was the Styrofoam container. It captured the steam from the freshly cooked food and turned the crispy fried seafood soft. So let the steam out and don't let it sit too long! Definitely plan to go back and try more. It is a small menu, which gives attention to each item, and that is why the food is done so well!

In a great location with its own parking lot, Roma Ristorante also has a nice bar that was busy serving drinks & lunch entrees to patrons on this Thursday afternoon. We chose the dining room off the bar for a quieter experience. Roma is best described as providing elevated Italian-American cuisine. The garlicky broccoli rabe, grilled sausage & fried potatoes with long hots was an ample starter for two. Bread basket filled with real Italian bread. My entree of Chicken Milanese with an up charge side of linguine in marinara was great as was my friend's Arthur Avenue sized Italian cold cut sandwich accompanied by what looked to be fresh sliced french fries - which we found addictive.
