The food was excellent! We had the honey mustard wings, they were sticky and yet crispy. The red beans and rice is flavorful like it has been stewing all day. The fried shrimp were huge and juicy and well seasoned with a crunchy cornmeal coating. The yams were seasoned to perfection. The mac and cheese makes you close your eyes and let out a deep sigh of sweet joy. The fish was crispy and flavorful and fresh tasting. The serving size was huge.

My first time going to this establishment and I really enjoyed myself. The food was fabulous, our waitress was the best, drinks could be a bit stronger, with a little less ice The DJ kept it for the night, (karaoke Thursday), and the place was packed. They even had a patio area that I didn’t get the chance to see, (not sure if there was a separate party), but other than that, I would definitely visit again.

Came by for the first time yesterday. It was so delicious and our server was so nice! We were concerned at first after reading the reviews but I’m glad we decided to give them a try.

It was soooo yummy!! Best green beans I ever had. We came by for a toy drive where they gave away toys for the Building Futures nonprofit. It was a beautiful turnout. They served the most delicious swai white fish, which was light and seasoned to perfection. The mac and cheese were excellent, tasty, and tender. I haven’t been here since 2010, so it was a pleasant surprise. I will definitely be back to support these amazing women, sisters who own it now. Not only was the food great, the drinks were strong and the service was incredible. Everyone was so pleasant. A beautiful experience. Come out and support people that support the community.

The food was great. We got the beast mode. Very filling. The service was a little slow because they only had one waitress and she was the host too. The bartender should have came out and help or put another server one. We will be back, but not too soon. We gotta watch our fried food intake.

By far this is the best soul food I’ve had in the Bay Area period!!! It took me back home to the south! It was seasoned to perfection! I highly recommend it if you want authentic southern food not cuisine. Thank you, Aunties!!!

I had smothered pork chops with macaroni and cheese, yams, greens and cornbread. The macaroni and cheese was good. The yams were not sweet. The greens tasted like they cooked them in vinger. The cornbread was bland with no butter or nothing. It had no taste to it. It tasted like they cooked it with baking soda. You could taste the baking soda. The smothered pork chops were okay but the rice and gravy was bland. No seasoning to it whatsoever. And the next day it smelled spoiled. That means the food prepared was not fresh. The owner should pay attention to his reviews and hire another cook because that food was horrible and I spent $56.00. and was not happy. I was hoping for better.
