"1. **Fried Chicken**: Well-seasoned and packed with flavor. While it’s not the best I’ve had, it’s definitely good.
2. **Greens**: They tasted like they came straight from a can—very salty and lacking any smoked meat flavor.
3. **Mac and Cheese**: The color was a bright orange-yellow, and I prefer not to have that Velveeta taste. I returned it and requested dressing instead.
4. **Dressing**: No gravy, please! I can’t stand sweet dressing. I always ask for mine without gravy to truly savor the dressing itself. Often, people add gravy to mask the flavor. The sweetness here likely comes from using Jiffy mix, which isn’t great, although it was seasoned fairly well.
5. **Yams**: Wow, the butter was dripping! But there was just a bit too much sugar for my taste.
6. **Peach Cobbler**: Be warned, it's a generous portion! The crust was buttery and held up nicely against the syrup, although a bit too much sugar was used since some granules didn’t dissolve completely.
7. **Sweet Tea**: It was okay, but given how sweet the other items were, it felt like just another sugary addition. The water, on the other hand, was refreshing.
The atmosphere was great, with clean tables and a warm, welcoming vibe. I also appreciated the creative option they offer: an entrée that consists entirely of sides, where you can choose three items. That’s a fantastic choice I haven’t seen available at other places.
I didn’t order the cornbread because it wasn’t homemade; it was made using Jiffy mix. Too many soul food restaurants take shortcuts, and this was one of the choices they made.
Overall, it was a very good experience!"
