"Garlic Roasted Baked Chicken Combo is delish! Chicken was tender and the plate was HEAVY! It's definitely 2 servings. The cabbage needed a little more flavor but was still good. The green beans were good too. Last but not least are the Black-Eyed Peas. They were good as well. It has a little kick to it but not unbearable. Will definitely order again as this was my very first time trying it. "

"I ordered the pork bone dinner with mild dirty rice, cabbage and sweet potatoes. The taste was really good and the portions were generous. Whoever cooked that meal today did a great job. Everything was seasoned perfectly. The pork bones were so tender and flavorful. I also ordered a 1/2 side of smoked chicken. It was good too. It was so tender and juicy. I would definitely order this same meal again. Lunch was great."

"The Philly Cheese Steak pizza was DELICIOUS! 5 out of 5!"
"If you like sweet, this is the place for you. The duck cofit Duck Duck Shroom Pizza, which has barely any duck on it--as you can see from the pic--was not only sweet, but also very blonde...as in a very under cooked crust. The Crispy Asparagus may have been crispy if they used a different delicery contained that let the product breathe. But it wastn't. And, it tastes as though it was battered in funnel cake batter. I havent tried the bread Slow Dough Pretzel Bread Puddin' yet. "

"1st timer here! The lemon pepper cauliflower wings are delicious. I will be back for more. -the wings are not here in this picture"
"The baked beans were really sweet. I don't know what seasoning or spice was used in the mac n cheese, but it did not belong, I could not stomach it. It looked really good but a hard pass. I must have missed something in the description of this place because the fried chicken I thought I was getting were cauliflower. Don't get me wrong, I like cauliflower but if I'm expecting chicken that's what I'm looking for. There was a slimy texture to the fried cauliflower, I'm not even sure they were all cauliflower but it was a no go as I'm a texture person. The breading in the cauliflower was well seasoned and if it was in fact chicken, I would have eaten them. The greens were seasoned, but you could taste the absence of any meat for added flavor. I'm sure the ribs are not real ribs, but if you can get past the semi-mushy texture, they have a nice flavor. The portions were a decent size, enough for two meals. I haven't tried the yams yet, but I can only imagine how sweet they will be if based off of the baked beans. I need to go back to the restaurant's description to see if it's a vegan or vegetarian restaurant. I would not order this again."

I'll start it by saying their wings were HUGE, they defin dont mess with small wings.. the fried chicken wings were hot and crispy but they were sooo unflavored.
