A neighborhood hotspot known for soulful comfort dishes—especially lamb chops, fries and signature soul rolls—pairs lively music, karaoke nights and a wine club with reliable catering and takeout. Food is often excellent but can be inconsistent between visits; service ranges from attentive servers to inexperienced bartending and uneven cocktails. Vegetarian options are scarce, and the restaurant is closed Sundays and Mondays. Best for celebrations, group dinners and catered events seeking a fun, energetic vibe.

Has a $5 cover charge, or did for the night we went. Food was delicious although a bit slow to be served but otherwise it was a nice experience!

Small venue with bar, photo op and dj area. Booth seating surrounded the area with tables for 4 and a small area for serving food.The floors were sticky making the electric slide a challenge. The bathrooms should be updated. Idk it was the perfect venue for our small family gathering. The food tasted okay but the variety was nice.Perfect place for an intimate gathering but I honestly doubt that I'd go again.Parking was close and adequate. Servers and staff were accommodating.

I was there on a Saturday bartenders were bad with no experience but the food was amazing even though they were out of garlic butter the lamb chops and fries were the best I ever had I literally couldn?t stop thinking about them so I ordered take outtoday because they are closed on Sunday and Monday and I ordered the exact same thing but to my surprise there was no seasoningon the fries or lamb chops unlike on Saturday which was very disappointing maybe they had different cooks

I visited the bar on Sunday from 8 to 6 for Sunday Funday, and I was disappointed with my experience. The two bartenders completely ignored me when I sat down at the bar, making me feel invisible, which I found quite rude. I waited for about 25 minutes without being acknowledged. However, when bartender Shawnie started her shift, she provided excellent customer service and had a great energy! On a positive note, there’s plenty of parking available.
