I ordered a pot roast dinner. The potatoes were very dark and tasted dark. They were the same color as the roast. Whomever packaged this dinner could plainly see the potatoes were no good. I had to drive back to Elam brothers and they replaced my meal for something totally different. They could have given a discount or a free pop or something for the inconvenience of having to drive back on the other side of town due to their negligence. Both pics you can see the potatoes are yuck. Don’t be confused by the picture with 3 pieces. Those are potatoes not roast.

I tried the catfish dinner tonight and it was truly worth it. The catfish tasted incredibly fresh and had no fishy aftertaste, which I always notice. The greens were seasoned perfectly and complemented the meal really well. I will definitely be returning and ordering this again.

If you love food, I don’t have to tell you why to come here. Be patient. It’s worth the wait because they’re actually making good food.

I placed a DoorDash order earlier today during my lunch break. The dinner meals appear in the “most ordered” section when you first open the app, so I selected one quickly before my break started.
The issue is that the DoorDash menu allowed me to choose a dinner with two sides, but it did not clearly show the meat option. Because of this, I didn’t realize the meal I selected was specifically a pork chop dinner.
To correct the order before it was prepared, I called the restaurant.
Unfortunately, the experience on the phone was disappointing. The person who answered was vague and dismissive, and there were others laughing in the background. When I explained the issue with how the meal appeared on DoorDash, I was told things like “You’re just going to have to eat the pork chops.”
When I called back to clarify, I was interrupted and told that the adjustment would only be made “this time” and that I would be charged next time. He also told me that I shouldn’t have ordered the meal and then called to change it, even though I was simply trying to correct what appeared to be a menu issue on the app. The call ended with him hanging up.
A woman from the restaurant later called back and was more polite and direct, but the main issue with how the meal appeared on DoorDash still wasn’t really addressed.
In the end, I received the food, but unfortunately I didn’t enjoy it. After the difficulty trying to correct the order and the experience on the phone, the meal itself didn’t live up to expectations.
I genuinely want to support local and Black-owned businesses, but professionalism and respectful customer service are just as important as the food itself. Experiences like this make it harder to return.

Ordered a couple cat fish dinners tonight and it was definitely worth it. Cat fish is absolutely amazing, very fresh and doesn’t taste fishy (I always pay attention to if it’s fishy) and greens seasoned just perfectly. Will always come back and order.
