This restaurant is an absolute gem. Sitting at the counter feels warm and personal, like enjoying a meal in a friend’s kitchen. The owners and their family are incredibly kind and welcoming, which makes the experience even more special. The food is comforting and full of flavor—the shrimp po’ boy was outstanding, and the fried chicken with gravy was rich, crispy, and satisfying. The cozy atmosphere and genuine hospitality make this place stand out. It’s wonderful to have authentic soul food like this in town. I can’t recommend this spot enough and will definitely be back.

Oh man, finding southern food in Hawaii that is GOOD, what a treat. I would put the food here against anything I ate my whole life growing up in GA.

This will be a regular stop for me now, super friendly, decently priced and the food is absolutely amazing.

Parking is a bit of a pain, be sure to read signs and park in the right spots

3.5 – Service was welcoming and personable. We mightve had high expectations knowing the owner is from Alabama. The price point is kind of on the high end for the portion size, but that’s understandable for this type of food in Oahu. Catfish, chicken and shrimp had great texture and flavor. Ribs were tender. Collards and yams were A1! Cabbage and Mac is where our expectations messed us up..just one note and overshadowed by everything else. Almost as if a different establishment made it compared to the other food. Still recommend coming!

Parking here is pretty limited, with only a few stalls available in front of the restaurant. The space itself is small but has both indoor and outdoor seating. The interior is modern and welcoming, but it definitely needs A/C, we were sweating most of the time lol.

Service here was fantastic. Everyone was very nice and helpful, which made the experience even better.

The food was really good too. Everything had great flavor and felt like true comfort soul food. The only downside for us was the portion size. For the price, we expected a little more food or protein on each dish. That’s the main reason this isn’t a full 5 star review.

Overall, everything tasted great, we just wished the portions matched the price a bit better.

Absolutely loved my experience! Who’s moms or pops or aunty or unko taught them how to cook?! Heh Been meaning to hit this place up for a minute n happy I did! I had the chicken biscuits n gravy n sweet tea of the brunch menu! The chicken was very moist n tender yet still crispy. The biscuit was moist n not hard but still had a nice bite n chew. The gravy was everything w a side of Louisiana hot sauce. The texture n consistency of gravy was perfect for me. The sweet tea was the best I ever had on island. Aunty told me I could have refills n didn’t know that at first cuz I was just sippin to savor each sip.

One thing ima do is satisfy my food cravings and southern love did exactly that.

Yes there’s limited stalls but I’m not knockin off stars for that cuz this a review for food n service.

Service was unpretentious, chill, engaging, prompt, and sweet. Indoor n outdoor seating. Indoor seating is smaller n intimate. I love it.

Mahalo nui loa Chef for the amazing soulful food! Excited to go back!

Food took entirely too long to be served. We ordered a combo plate ribs/catfish with Mac and side okra-
Definitely not portioned for price.- Fish was over fried and cut as nugget pieces. No parking available.

Chef’s Kiss!
From the moment we walked in, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. The host was absolutely fabulous—warm, welcoming, and attentive. Chef Cory is truly a champion in the kitchen. Every dish he prepared was bursting with flavor and cooked with care, feeding both the soul and the stomach.
My husband had the blackened salmon with grits (not pictured), and he couldn’t stop raving about it. I went for the chicken & waffles with a side of catfish—perfection! The waffles were crisp on the outside, fluffy inside, and the chicken melted in your mouth. And that catfish? A must-have.
We also met wonderful guests from all over the country, which made the brunch feel even more special. The vibe was lively and full of good energy.

Pro tip: don’t walk—run—and grab that Arnold Palmer. Everything is made to order and so fresh. We’ll definitely be back!

Best and authentic southern comfort food! The chicken was juicy with just the right amount of seasoning. I also enjoyed the fried green tomatoes, fried okra, cornbread, and the yummiest baked beans! I love this place, and its really cozy patio. Owner / chef was super friendly. Good aloha vibes!
