They market themselves as a soul food restaurant, but that feels more like a joke. I wouldn't recommend this place.

I'm not sure what has happened to this restaurant. Three years ago, I wrote a positive review, but today I have to change it to one star due to the terrible service. They told me it would be ready in 5 minutes half an hour ago. If you're hungry, I recommend finding a different place.

We ordered chicken and waffles and the fish and chips and both were great, especially the waffle. Our two minor complaints were that the fish and chips didn’t come with tartar sauce and the chicken could have been seasoned a little more, but I am giving them some grace for only having 2-3 ish staff members during a holiday weekend. Overall good, would recommend!

Barbara, who works there, is very sweet, like cake. However, as a black woman, I must point out that not all black women are there to serve others. The staff at the counter should provide friendlier service, which may explain why the restaurant was completely empty when I visited on a beautiful Saturday afternoon around 4pm. I purchased 3-4 slices of French vanilla cake (which was delicious, by the way) and when one of them fell out of the glass display, I asked who did it, but the woman there simply shrugged and said nothing. She was rude and sarcastic, and her attitude did not match the excellent service my family and I had experienced on previous visits. Despite this, I will still come back, but I hope that this woman will be off-duty when I return. Shake my head.

Dining here is a truly delightful experience in a cozy atmosphere. My only critique would be to use less salt in their dishes. They definitely deserve six stars for their dedication to weathering economic challenges and keeping their doors open for their loyal customers. Thank you.

This restaurant is fantastic, with delicious fish and chips. The chef, who is 82 years old, is still going strong. Plus, they offer free coffee. read more This restaurant is fantastic, with delicious fish and chips. The chef, who is 82 years old, is still going strong. Plus, they offer free coffee.
