Excellent customer service! Mr Aubrey, CEO was so humble and reassuring on questions about the taste of his food. I did not even know he was the owner until after I finished my meal. Shout out to the Chef! Everything was awesome…Shy @the front counter gives great customer service with a good attitude regardless if problems arise. I watched her interact with different personalities and mannerisms and she was consistent. They play old school music, allow customers to play cards while they dine, and even entertain the jokes from customers. I felt right at home as I enjoyed my food with family. Thank you for a great first-time experience!

The customer service was great. The meat was good, but the sides was not. We got turkey wings, oxtails, and fried ribs. Sides: Mac n cheese, cabbage, greens, and yams. The cake had mold on it. The drink was good.

If you’re looking for authentic Jamaican food, this is the spot. Hubby and I were in town for the weekend (Doral) and traveled a short distance to experience the cuisine after reading reviews online. The place looks sketchy from the outside, and once you enter, you may question if you want to stay, but babee, if you leave without trying the food, you’ll definitely regret it. The young ladies taking the order were so welcoming, and the on-site security helped me to relax a bit. The decor looks like it’s from the 1950s, but I’m glad we chose to stay, order, and eat. We both ordered the oxtail meal. I have been talking about the goodness of my meal since returning to NC from our trip.

Food was delicious and the service was great! We were visiting from out of town and really wanted some good down south cooking! We chose the right spot the turkey wings were so tender and flavorful, we also had the macaroni and cabbage! It’s So good order a double side of Mac lol! We also had fried chicken, fried pork chops, spaghetti, collards, 6piece grilled shrimp, corn muffins, and the meals came with yellow rice, we spent about $75(no drinks) it was worth it. The meals were large, nice and hearty like your granny made it, next time we’re in town we’ll be back because did I also forget to mention the service was GREAT! It was a wait but also worth it, TRY IT!

Good: Food was delicious. Tasted like my momma & aunt was in the kitchen throwing down. Punch was something my aunt used to throw together for church or big family functions. Oh they are the best. Made us feel at home knew we weren’t from there. Will visit again.

I’m all for supporting black businesses which is why I came. Oxtails were dry no gravy nothing. Macaroni and cheese
dry dressing was actually good tho i couldn’t stomach the dry food so 26 dollars down the drain. Young man at the register was very nice but man it was at least 115. Degrees in there I’m sure it is against Labor laws to have ppl work in those conditions but I digress

Driving down the NW 7th Avenue Liberty City corridor, the constant traffic sometimes causes you to only drive by some great businesses. Thank goodness, it slows at Mattie’s because it must, as customers are waiting in line to enter Matties’s Soul Food Kitchen. Patrons became creative in parking there, due to how popular this soul food restaurant has come to be. Luckily, additional parking was purchased across the street, and after rush hour it is not a challenge to cross at all. The food was good, period! That is all you need to know about that. The staff was friendly, and you can either dine-in, at the tables with chairs, or at the counter. Take out ordering is also available. The restaurant was clean and the wait staff friendly, and there is dedicated space for open mic events.

I had the meatloaf, collards, mac, yellow rice, cornbread. It took a while for the food to be ready, but I guess that’s because the food is being made to order for the most part, which is ok. We took our food to go. Staff was nice, young guy handled my order with care. As far as taste, I wasn’t blown away, but it wasn’t bad at all. I was hoping to get my socks knocked off, but it was more like a solid B. To me a solid B is not worth $22.

I was craving some oxtails, so I decided to DoorDash from this restaurant. Everything was very good and tasty. I love that the cornbread tasted like a mini cake. The oxtails were very tender. The gravy was placed on the pigeon peas and rice, which was still very good. I absolutely loved, the cabbage, very tasty. Definitely would buy again. Also would recommend to drive to the restaurant DoorDash does cost a little bit more.
