"Our family traveled to Pittsburgh for a sporting event. Afterwards, I was in the mood for some 'GOOD ' Soul Food. Since this was unfamiliar territory, I asked the hotel staff for a recommendation. He referred me to another place (Soul and Sea). I 'll provide a review of them another time. We went to Downtown Pittsburgh, only to find blocks of restaurants and bars. We walked up and down for awhile trying decide where to eat. We stumbled across Carmi and decided to give it a try. This is a clean, small, quaint place. We had a large party, so we had to sit in separate booths. This didn 't suit us, so we left for another place down the street. Well, it wound up that some of our party left. So, we returned to Carmi. Oh My Goodness!!!!!! Were we glad to have done so...... This place is 'PHENOMENAL '.... The food was outstanding!! The portions were beyond expectation and the place had a nice atmosphere. There is also a small bar to satisfy One 's thirst. The FOOD: There was NO shortage of Cornbread. It was moist and had a hint of sugar. My Porkchops were cooked to perfection, along w/ the Collards and Yams. My other family members had Chicken and Waffles, Ribs w/ Mac and Cheese. Delicious!!!!! Let 's not forget the portions. All of us had enough food leftover for another day. The STAFF: As good as the meals. They were very welcoming, accommodating, courteous, professional and friendly. The staff wears masks, however you 're not required to. PRICING: Very reasonable. Especially, for the amount of food received. Our visit was a VERY enjoyable experience. When in Pittsburgh, be sure to visit Carmi. YOU and your stomach will be happy for it. This is a 'YUMMMMMM ' Recommendation!! PLEASE LIKE, RATE FOLLOW ME....."
