This place should be ashamed of themselves. The place has a stale smell, not polished looking at all. They keep all the food in the refrigerator and warm in the microwave. Therefore, it’s obviously not cooked daily. The mac and cheese was like something I had never seen, and it had a sour taste. The texture of the mac and cheese is off along with the dressing and banana pudding. Like, I spent 34 dollars for trash!!! They have lost the care in this place, that’s why only one person is working. When you stop caring, it shows in the establishment and food. It’s just not worth the time and drive from Hueytown. The dressing is mushy, and the banana pudding made me so sick just looking at it. I don’t like to cook and can do way better than this.

Went here for the first time today for lunch. I had the 3-sides plate with collard greens, mac & cheese, and dressing. My husband had fried catfish, yams, and potato salad. Both came with a cornbread muffin. Everything was delicious! The owner/chef/server (he was the only one working and was doing all the jobs!) was friendly. I definitely want to go back to try more of their dishes. My only complaint is that it was very cold in the restaurant. Thus, I urge you to eat at Destiny’s so that they make enough income that they can turn on their heat in January!

I purchased two dinners. Meatloaf, collard greens, Mac and cheese. Baked chicken, dressing and Turnip Greens. The meatloaf was burnt under the bottom, collards had no seasonings, macaroni and cheese tasted like a cheese sauce or imitation. Baked chicken cold, Turnip greens bland, dressing (not made with corn bread) was sugar sweet (no gravy or cranberry sauce). The food was actually inedible. I will not patronize this business again. I wish I had read the reviews before my visit.

Soul food can be had here, but it’s not worth the waiting and drive from Hoover. Being from New Orleans my wife’s cooking has more flavor, but when you just don’t feel like cooking, this can be a good substitute, if you don’t mind waiting.

The Mac and cheese was sour obviously sat in the fridge and was reheated in the microwave. The yams was not good at all and the greens weren’t seasoned. The catfish looked and tasted as it was refried twice.The banana pudding was old, mushy and disgusting looking. The wings my husband had to add seasoning and the corn bread was sour and had the refrigerator taste to it. Thats what my husband said and he not talking about my cornbread.

Manager is rude. Ego is high!!! Food is not that good unless you have your own seasoning. Half of the time they not even open. I live 35 minutes away and I drove faithfully for a week and they’ve been closed. All they stuff is rewarmed in the microwave. Definitely from overnight or days before. Not made the day of. I would’ve given this place 3 stars but that attitude and the smart remarks definitely made me not wanna go back.

Dressing was gummy with a bar BBQ flavor., the meatloaf dry and tight. We purchased 3 dinners out of the 3 the only thing that I would recommend would be the fried okra, the fried chicken has no seasoning at all. If you was not looking at it you would not know it was fried chicken. A great menu just need better Cooks that’s not good in the hood

The Mac and cheese was disgusting and the meatloaf was preheated. Stay far away from this place.

I love the food here. It’s the best when I don’t feel like cooking.
