I will not be back, I am so sorry. My bbq chicken dish was horrible, please see the picture with the 2 tone cold mash potatoes. The red lemonade drink was also not so good. It was a true disappointment. The wings were okay, but a little burnt.
Update: I went back and I will give an honest update. My drink was okay this time, but not a HIT. The dishes today were good, just the chicken a little undercooked. Didn't order that mash dish again but this time was better than the last in terms of the happiness regarding my food, lol.

My food was so good!!! I haven’t been in a long time. The food is always amazing every single time. I can’t remember my server is name but she was so professional and sweetheart. I can’t wait to visit again.

Came here for a Saturday brunch. The service was impeccable. Black owned establishment. There was no long waiting to be seated or for our food and drinks. The drinks were very delicious. We ordered the Mango Mimosas. The food was hot and served fresh. The salmon cakes melts in your mouth. The Mac and cheese is a shareable size and was very cheesy also crunchy on the top. I ordered the 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.

Came here for a Saturday brunch. The service was impeccable. There was no long waiting to be seated even though we were an hour late for our reservation. The drinks were very delicious, we ordered the strawberry and mango lemonades for $7. The food was hot and served fresh. The chicken and waffles were pretty delicious. The Mac and cheese is a shareable size and was very cheesy also crunchy. The prices are a little steep, but definitely worth it. I will definitely come back here. I highly recommend.

The food was REALLY GOOD not gonna hold them but The food was a tad bit pricey chicken and waffle and one lemonade $40 no refill. the bartender she was doing the best she could so I can’t even fault her because it was maybe two servers… I am very big on first impressions and theirs was really horrible I was standing at the counter waiting for the hostess for a good five minutes before anybody ever acknowledged that I was standing there and when The guy did he just walked up to me and was just like come back at 2:30, as you can see from the previous comment they are closed at 2:30… So I asked come back? he was like Well we are busy how many parties are with you and I said only me and he let me sit at the counter maybe 10 minutes later a couple came in and just sat down and was served right away?!! foolishness

Great vibes, good Food. Staff was very attentive. My drink was decent.Set ambience was on point. Next time I go, I'll have the hibiscus drink. The chicken and waffle looked delish. The burger I ordered was very good !!

I paid $78 for horrible take-out food. I inquired about their Prix Fixe menu, but was told it doesn't exist. I requested a menu to take out. 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. It contained 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 thrown on 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. The tomatoes 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 better manner.

The Sunday brunch was so really good. The food was amazing and everything really did taste amazing. The drinks were strong and delicious as well.
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 the fried 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.

Great, attentive service but pretty forgettable food. 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.
