Unfortunately, the short ribs were mostly just fried bones. The chili beans lacked any meat and tasted more like ranch-style beans with some chili seasoning added. The cabbage and greens mix was bland and had little flavor. As for the Kool-Aid, it was overly sweet and tasted like sugar water. I ended up spending $19.97 and felt it was a waste of money. I left 60% of my meal uneaten and went to Wendy's afterward. I was really disappointed with the short ribs, which were simply battered bones. I definitely won't be returning—proceed at your own risk. This is not true soul food!

Since I’m not frequently in the area and was craving some delicious food, I decided to check this place out—and I was not disappointed! The catfish was fried to perfection, fresh, and beautifully seasoned. The baked mac and cheese had a wonderful smoky cheese flavor; it’s truly amazing! I will definitely be back! This place is definitely family-owned, and they embody that spirit perfectly!
