The hostess was nice as well as our waitress. The music was awesome just what my daughter and I were looking for. The drinks were okay, while the food was really good. Had to test the skills of the cook. So we got the soul plate. Fried chicken was good could use a bit more seasoning but had a good crisp. The mac n cheese really good. Yams looked under seasoned, but they were not, they were delicious! But them collard greens, literally the best I've ever had in a restaurant! Would I go again? Absolutely. Would a recommend? Oh yeah definitely!
