Garbage don't dare go. Food is GARR BAGE'. You've been WARNED... BG while I'm typing this review. Salmon cakes had NO salmon in it. The server said they use canned salmon and that's why the lack flavor. Ummmm...NOPE...I grew up eating salmon cakes from the can...but/and they were seasoned with onions..peppers etc. Home fries were frozen not fresh and still no onions or peppers or flavor. No strawberry or grape jelly...butter was too hard to slice for the toast. They tell you that you can pay and order via the qr app. Kool, but then she says if you want to tip your server that they prefer cash. Huhhhh?? Tip for what exactly... We just sat down...and waited about 6 min for glasses of water. Go if you want..

I was greeted with a smile and warm welcome. Its very small similar to a truck stop diner. The food was delicious and comforting. If you visit plan on taking a nap directly after the portions are huge and plentiful. I had the fried pork chops and potatoes I really enjoyed it and had the remainder for lunch. I will be back for sure!

Save yourself a visit. It's not worth the rude and disrespect of the one single employee who claims to have been working their 30 years. Arrived at 1:25pm (after driving an hour to get there) and was yelled at upon walking in "the kitchen is closed and the cook says she isn't cooking anymore!" First, the hours list the closing time as 2pm. Secondly, in what business is it ever appropriate to yell at a patron walking in the door? I have never been so disrespected in my life. Claiming to be the oldest soul food restaurant "in the world", with such a rich history for African Americans, I cannot believe they treat patrons in such a manner. After getting the manager involved, the manager said they would take my order. But I will never ever give this business my money or give them the pleasure of cooking for me! What I don't do is beg a business to take my money! I will never go back and I'll be sure to tell anyone who will listen not to go either! All I wanted to do was get my grandmother the meal she requested for her birthday. Even after saying this, I was rudely told that's not their problem!

Food was very good, but, because the waitress wasn't there this morning, the service was very slow. That said, the food was good.

The service was horrific - it took an entire 40 minutes for our food to be completed and there was only 4 other tables in the entire restaurant. Our order was just eggs, grits; nothing complicated. The food came out room temp, and there was literally nothing special about it.
