Heard about it (and follow the IG page) and decided to order for the First time (To-go). Lobster Roll: Never had a lobster roll before this, so I had no expectations except that it’s seafood. It was a decent size and the amount of lobster filling they provide was sufficient to me. I cut it in half and upon first bite, noticed the flavors immediately. Nice flavor, nothing overpowering. The sweet pickles added a nice touch. Texture was good (Soft, not soggy, bread; crunchy pickles; filling was creamy). Didn’t worry about the lobster filling falling out the bread, it stayed put. I added some lemon juice for my own taste, but it was just fine without it. Collard Greens: The texture of the greens, while floating in its juices, were still solid. Soft enough to fork through, yet leafy enough to have to chew (which is my favorite texture of greens). Flavors were amazing. Typically, I would add hot sauce immediately to greens, however to give it a shot, I tasted it without sauce for the first and second...and third bite. The flavor was good enough without it. I felt satisfied after that meal. I will return to try other items.
The food was amazing. I had the pork chop which was tender and the gravy was amazing. I would recommend anyone to go check out the food.

Food was super good! It’ll remind you of your grandmas cookin’! Give it a try!
Ordered here for the first time tonight. The baked chicken quarter leg was so tender the drumstick meat literally fell off and had great flavor. The seafood mac and cheese is huge with a healthy ratio of seafood throughout. Good taste. Red beans and rice were great for us!! Not soo spicy that you cant taste the flavors. Fried chicken sandwich was really good, great size too. Candied yams were sweet but not sugary and overly sweet like some places. The Gooey Butter is legit one of the best we've had. AND they were great while taking our order and were the fastest curbside delivery we've gotten from anywhere. Will definitely be back and would recommend.
I drove all the way from Kansas City about a week to try out this restaurant, and I must say , it was well worth the trip. I order the baked chicken meal , and the meat was so tender and well seasoned that it just fell off the bone , and the Mac and cheese is absolutely amazing. I like that the owner and his employee checked in with us a few minutes later, And ask how was our food. Highly recommended!!
I only gave this place 3 stars because the owner was super nice. But I ordered chicken tenders which were cooked from a bag already breaded they were hard n grosssss I also had Mac and cheese which was super salty and dry the yams were out of a can, greens were super salty as well. dressing taste like it was stove top stuffing. When I say the food was gross believe me. I will not be returning!
