Definitely wasn’t what I expected. I ordered the “Large” pork chops and grits breakfast but received a very small very thin, cold, hard pork chop instead. $17.99 for a large pork chop that was paper thin and over cooked. Makes me wonder what the small order would look like?!.Just a bone!? Eggs were cold and tasted old, so did the grits. I ordered my food at 8am, you would think everything would be fresh first thing in the morning, especially since they had just opened. Never again

I don’t usually post negative reviews bc I’m also a business owner but this was definitely one of the worst take out experiences I’ve ever had, so glad I didn’t get sick from the spoiled smelling Mac n cheese The smell was so bad I couldn’t even taste it …the “smothered Turkey wings” were not smothered, dry and in scraps of Turkey, most likely left over from the day before. ( I ordered as soon as they opened) the rice was hard, peach cobbler smelled sour and exploded out of the container. I hadn’t eaten In about 2 days and wasted a good $30….gas station or not, people are supporting you and paying extra for delivery. Totally Unacceptable.

I liked them better off 50th. I don’t know what the world going on now cause baybe them turkey wings wasn’t hitting on nothing!! No salt, no seasoning. The cabbage and macaroni was nasty and they didn’t give you no cornbread! Plus it’s all Arabs in there serving soul food, I done seen it all, won’t be going back.

Tried Lillie Mae’s for my birthday lunch and I am absolutely pleased! Got a double helping of the collard greens and they are DELICIOUS! And the peach cobbler topped off a lovely lunch. Thank you!

The worst I have ever had in Tampa. Black bean crunchy and vinegar taste, a pinch of salty green enough for a baby, and chicken the was “supposed” to be curry. NEVER AGAIN

I ordered a chicken breast sandwich on a brioche bun and I got a bone-in breast on a hamburger bun with no sauce. Black eyed peas were crunchy, soupy, and lacked basic seasoning.

Food presentation was poor & closer to room temperature than hot.. They need to stir more & cut up the heat.

I was picking up a DoorDash order. When I was finally helped, I waited 5 minutes and then asked how much longer it would be. I was ignored. I asked again and was ignored. A third time I asked, I said “ok well I’m gonna have to cancel since I can’t get help and maybe another dasher will pick it up”. While I was saying this, the female worker was belittling the young kid working there right in front of a bunch of other customers waiting to pay for gas station items. I felt terrible for that kid. She was mean and rude

First time I ordered takeout it was great. Turkey wings were phenomenal. Two days later I wanted the same thing but had to place pick up order on line. After calling several times and receiving their voicemail, I received confirmation that order was confirmed and payment was deducted.
