The deviled eggs with crispy chicken skin sounded really good but the flavors weren't super well balanced. Too spicy with no real savory taste from the chicken skin. The steak was just fine a little tough but perfectly edible. Overall, the place was a little dark and loud.

There were a lot of people there at this time which prolonged our food more than the average time. We had a party of 6 people and had to ask for water a couple times instead of being given the water bottles for the entire table. There also weren 't able to accommodate a vegetarian who wanted to have red velvet waffles without thefried chicken. The dish wasn 't able to be separated, because it was a Soco Specialty . So be mindful of your dietary restrictions when coming here. Overall the experience and food was really good and the I would definitely go again.

I was told they are too expensive to print and give away. I ordered vegetarian lasagna. The cheese was burned to a crisp on top. The gumbo was a disgrace. It contained three shrimp, no chicken, no andouile, no dirty rice (just plain rice in the same container--tacky). It lacked taste but was extremely hot and not in a good way. Itcontained copious amounts of corn. Why? Was this a filler to stretch this lackluster overpriced dish? I ordered the macaroni and cheese., Aunt Cruz ' macaroni and cheese to be exact. Horrible. Simply cooked noodles with cheese just thrownon top. It was extremely bland. So much title for a poorly prepared dish. I had a craving for okra and tomatoes--my main reason for (mistakenly) frequenting this establishment. The only favor profile of this undercooked dish was garlic. Thetomatoes were not even cut properly nor was the okra, both were uncooked. How disappointing. Lastly, I ordered the smoked vegetable flatbread. It was quite delicious. I traveled all the way from Bedford Stuyvesant and it was a wasted trip.I had to remind the staff to give me my receipt and my credit card. They were a tad chaotic, albeit very pleasant. I hate to give such nice people a bad review. Hopefully, it will help them step up to continue doing business in a bettermanner.

Someone took me here for my birthday. Such a great choice. I had jerk chicken wings with a side of mac n cheese. The chicken was so tender n the mac was flavorful. You can taste the gouda ???? the Rum punch was raved for but if youare a strong drinker, it would be considered weak to you. Me on the other hand is a light drinker so it snuck up on me and I hadonly one drink and had a buzz. Atmosphere was great. The waitress n server was bomb and respectful. Looking forward to goingback in the near future. BTW: music was on point as well and they gave me a dessert(didn't get a chance to eat it ???? and sunghappy birthday to me. It was cute. Overall great experience.

The drinks were very delicious. We ordered the Mango Mimosas. The food was hot and served fresh. Thesalmon cakes melts in your mouth. The Mac and cheese is a shareable size and was very cheesy also crunchy on the top. I orderedthe lobster/shrimp/grits which was very tasty and cooked to perfection. The prices are a little steep, but definitely worth it.I will definitely come back here. I highly recommend.
