“ Food is great here, definitely not rushed and seasoned and cooked with perfection every single time. Don't go here and think you're sticking to eating proper portions . ”

“ I went to the place for a comedy night that's held once a month, not only did I cry laugh, the food was great as well. Fish fried to perfection, the fried chicken was beyond seasoned! You can tell it was negro hands preparing that food. Service was efficient and our server was a pleasure. The ambiance was so smooth and classy, there's an indoor water fall fireplace, that's . Come through for that down home cooking ”

“ Loving the jerk egg rolls and Brandon is so dope and accommodating. The food is fresh and cooked to order. ”

“ I had a late dinner with a friend. I truly meant to take photographs of our meal (s) but, our first bite made our tastebuds come alive. I had fried fish so perfectly seasoned I actually used my fingers instead of a fork. The potato salad and cabbage that accompanied it was equally soulfully delish. My friend had the catfish, collard greens and yams and a big smile. Our meal was like soul food deliriu. My compliments to the chef and our server. Thank you the gentlemen seated to our right who let us become a part of their conversation. Great place. Warm atmosphere. Cool vibes. *5 stars from us. ”

“ Got takeout today after yoga class. The cheesiest Mac and cheese you have ever had! Catfish cooked to order. Nice cole slaw. Good value at $15 Everyone here is also super nice. The young man at the takeout counter answered our many questions. I peeked into the restaurant, which is lovely, and Avíen (sp?) was super friendly. Check their calendar for when there is music or comedy or karaoke. ”

“ Went here to watch the Tyson vs Paul fight. Had some of my favorites. The food is really good here for the sweet chili shrimp to the sides they don't disappoint. Service is great very attentive kind and friendly! Very cute spot for date night or drinks with friends a hidden gem! ”

“ I was pleasantly surprised when I walked into this restaurant. Inside is such a cozy vibe - exposed brick, fall decorations everywhere I loved the decor its so nicely done. It's bigger than I thought it would be judging from the outside. They have a small bar that you can sit at as well. I took my mom here and we went pretty early - the restaurant was empty and there wasn't a waitress working so the owner happily served us. My mom ordered catfish with Mac and cheese and grits, I ordered fried shrimp with Mac and cheese and potato salad (yes we're carb lovers don't judge us lol). We were brought a basket of warm cornbread which was very good and I don't really care for cornbread. The owner talked with us a little while we waited for our food - he was very personable which made us feel right at home. They have comedy nights there on certain nights as well as a jazz band that plays during brunch on the weekends. Again, such a vibe. The food was very good - the fish and shrimp were freshly fried (yes I can tell the difference between fresh and reheated), the Mac and potato salad was well seasoned and my mom said her grits were good as well. I have to say I really liked this place - good food thats not overly expensive in a good vibe - it's definitely a place to try! ”

“ Finding a decent soul food restaurant is getting pretty precarious. Especially where you can sit and enjoy the food. Love Alvin's but sometimes I just want a good non buttermilk fried chicken. This spot hit. Started with complimentary corn bread that was really VERY good and hot. Hush puppies were delicious. Mains generous portion of wings with Mac and cheese and collard greens. Collard greens (vegetarian) yummy! Chicken TASTY without being salty. Mac and cheese is seasoned. Catfish and shrimp just yummy, hot seasoned and not salty nor greasy. Although food was fried, nothing was greasy. The gentleman who seated us (I think his name was Brandon) was attentive without hovering. Food arrived at table hot. Restaurant felt calm, sound system nice and mellow. Enjoyed the R&B. If I cannot make it to Sylvia's, Melba's, Kings Southern, BLVD or Charles, I will return to this spot. ”
