delicious food and friendly service! the portions are huge and the prices are reasonable especially for the quality of what you get. i'll dream of the collared greens, and the chicken was falling off the bone and seasoned to perfection. i like a baked mac and cheese and this one is delicious, but if you prefer a saucier one i'd pick a different side. they were able to confirm the entire meu was nut free for me, and a second drink/refill came out with my order (i don'r know if this was a mistake or on purpose, but delicious tea either way!) get the gravy!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

I was looking for a place to grab dinner and found this restaurant on Google Maps with great photos and reviews. People mentioned tasty food, large portions, and good prices, but that wasn’t my experience at all. The portions were small, the chicken wasn’t very good, and the black-eyed peas and yellow rice were bland. Definitely not worth paying over $20 for such a disappointing meal.

The hotel shuttle driver recommended that we try The Cornbread Soul Food restaurant. He was absolutely correct in his suggestion. Dropped in about 7p on Friday night, the place was fairly busy. The staff was amazing, willing to walk 1st timers through their menu choices. You better bring your best appetite cause you can't eat it all, especially if you select the large meals. The collards are perfect and you'll drink the "pot liquor " (juice), the cabbage was slightly crunchy exactly as I like them and the juice was consumed as well. The yams were sweeten just enough to make your mouth water as they enter your mouth. Of course the Cornbread was the perfect compliment to the meal. The turkey leg meal was overwhelming, much more than I could eat without taking a nap in the restaurant after eating. Had to get the doggie bag to finish later. The catfish was cooked with a highly seasoned batter that took away from enjoying the full flavor of the fish. There were many other items I wanted to try but knew I was allowing my eyes to be larger than my stomach. I appreciate this shuttle drivers recommendation and I too want to suggest this restaurant as a must try!
