I ordered a rib dinner from here it was good and meaty, their banana pudding tasted like old stale mush. Then 1 day I ordered a pork chop dinner, took it home and opened it up and it was fried extra crispy as if it was placed in the deep fryer. When I took a bite of it the whole crispy layer fell off, the meat was stringy and stretchy and it didnt even taste like pork it tasted just like old chicken. I call back to the place and spoke to the lady at the cash register and she said they fry their

The owner is an amazing person. I buy the xxx wings constantly. They are so freaking delicious, filling, and awesomely cooked. I enjoy the flavor of the burgers and fries just as much. Thank you for the great food!

We ordered the perch dinner with dirty rice and cabbage. We also ordered the wing dinner with baked beans and fried okra. An order of fried green tomatoes, soul rolls and peach cobbler for dessert. The food was prepared properly it just wasn't seasoned the way I'm used to, but still very edible. I'm not a fan of cinnamon in my baked beans and the cabbage was good but very sweet. (I'm not a fan of sweet food I tend to go more savory, just a preference.)The okra, dirty rice and fried green tomato

Maaaaaan. Listen y’all. This is hands down THEEE BEST soul food/ southern food I’ve had in my life. I’ve lived down south and Nephews tops it all. The Mac and Cheese tastes like granny hand mixed it in her house shoes and Robe while listening to The Commodores. The BBQ sauce has a sweet spicy kick that is packed with flavor. The chicken was juicy and tender. Them baked beans were amazing. The fries have some delicious sprinkles of flavor. No clue what they were seasoned in, but I’m sure it came

This restaurant offers the best authentic Southern-style comfort food in town! I highly recommend trying the soul rolls - they are absolutely delicious! The ribs were also mouthwatering and the Mac n' cheese and dirty rice were perfection. The portions are very generous. This place is definitely one of Akron's best kept secrets! I give it a perfect 5 out of 5 rating for the food.
