i guess oxtail is not considered soul food but .... they should consider putting it on their menu ???? everything is really good . i personally have never had a problem with .. " salty " or .. well seasoned food in general but , with that being said , if you do , the food is not too salty or overly seasoned in my opinion , but just right ???? i highly recommend the catfish > the whiting , as well as the fried shrimp ???????? . yams , mac & cheese , & cornbread are great . & i always order a red velvet cupcake with my order as well as the half & half lemonade / sweet tea - the drink is southern style , really sweet though . & the portions are good .????????

I had such a horrible experience. I came all the way from the Bronx to get food on my birthday and the kitchen was closed. The website clearly said they were open until 8pm.

This past weekend May 21st, had graduation dinner here for my son. The attention to detail, delicious food, and amazing hospitality was just Superb! I am born and raised in North Carolina and my Family and I thought we were back home when we at the Yams, Mac and Cheese, Chicken, and those Catfish Strips! The Banana Pudding was on point also, no complaints. We will be back and as a retired NFL alumni I am sharing the experience with my NY JETS family.

Make sure to check order before leaving. Their food is awesome! My dinners, fried & stew chicken along with fried (fresh) fish. Greens not over cooked & Mac-n-Cheese done very well ratio between noodles and cheese. Yams were on point, not too sweet or under cooked. Cornbread, lovely portion. Banana pudding is tasty and didn't turn colour within 48hrs.

Thinking about the saying that good things do not last long… but I’m praying this restaurant is long lasting. I usually order ubereats from them and literally have never been disappointed… food is ALWAYS on point (please keep that chef around!) and have never messed up my order. I’ve picked up an order at the restaurant before and they were very friendly and efficient. There is a bit of a wait for your food… BUT it’s because they’re usually always busy and plus food will be fresh and delicious when you get it, so it’s worth the wait. Just wanted to give a shout out that’s well deserved !

I haven’t had Sweet Potatoes in over 8 years & I remember why. The cornbread tasted too sweet and didn’t taste homemade. The catfish was okay but didn’t taste seasoned. The Mac and cheese was good but the collard greens tasted sweet. I don’t like sweet greens. Food was packaged well.

Food was great but the customer service sucks. You’ll need attitude adjustment training on the days that y’all are closed. We ordered $200 worth of food and couldn’t even get complimentary corn bread. Do better!!!!

One of my favorites, if not my #1 favorite soul food restaurant. I wish the establishment will one day expand the size. It is a very small in size, and only seats 12-15 people tops, and that would make it tight in there. The small side is more for takeout. I have been on the bigger side for Sunday brunch. Love the jazz band, and the full buffet. Today in particular, my mother said let's go out to eat. I really wanted her to try this restaurant. Her stomach is very sensitive, and can't eat certain things. I just wish the waitress was a little bit more patient, and not so fast to catch an attitude, when trying to order the food the way she likes it . Overall, my mother enjoyed the food as well. She loved her extra crispy chicken and she enjoyed the the Sweet Potatoe Fries as well. I liked the Seafood Delight, but was a huge fan of the crab cakes. It was just okay. The string beans had that extra kick to it. The Mac & Cheese was/is my favorite side dish. Delicious!
