Tucked away in the Northside, this restaurant has garnered mixed reviews, showcasing both culinary triumphs and disappointments. While some dishes like the smoked wings, ribs, and glazed salmon have received high praise, others, including the Mac n cheese and fried chicken, have drawn criticism for inconsistency and preparation errors. Many patrons commend the welcoming atmosphere and family-oriented service, while noting issues with order accuracy and staff training. Overall, this establishment holds potential, drawing locals with its variety and homemade charm, but may need to refine its offerings to ensure a consistently delightful dining experience.

I ordered a chicken breast meal, but received chicken tenders instead. To make matters worse, I became sick with food poisoning and spent the night in pain in my bathroom.

However, I must admit that the cabbage and mashed potatoes were delicious. I tried calling the restaurant immediately to address the issue, but no one answered. It looks like I won't be getting my cranberry juice after all. I have decided that I will not be returning to this restaurant. The cashier needs more training or should pay more attention to customers' orders. Unfortunately, I was not pleased with my experience.

Best take out soul food in the burgh. Carleen and Mike are the best and between them and their staff they make you feel welcomed like family at all their locations. Everything is amazing. The chicken and waffles are killer. The specials keep itfresh and the ingredients are always fresh and delicious. Made and served with love. A Northside and Pittsburgh institution.

2 stars because the food isn?t terrible. BUT, there must be different cooks at this location not trained the same way as the others at the main location on Carson street. The Mac n cheese here is very inconsistent. If time only allows you to stop at theexpress location then go for it. I definitely wouldn?t recommend it. Also, apparently this location needs to use smallercontainers for the sides?.(photo attached)
