You are met with gospel on the radio and great counter service it’s just pick up and go.
My thoughts:
Cabbage was pretty good, not mad at it
Greens standard, not sweet and very tender
Green beans were sweet and had a tiny tiny kick
Black eyed peas were clean, not a lot of fuss
Mac n cheese was on point
The uptown was perfectly sweet
Very straight forward food, not a lot of new embellishments or new age recipes.
Great place for catering if you ask me. I would get a tray from this place.
It’s as good as expected in the best way. This place is the standard, excellent price point, it feels very much at home.
If I am in the area I would go again

Delicious food, kind staff. Definitely worth a try. It was my first time trying soul food and I was blown away by the size of the portions and how good it was

This place is absolutely incredible! The portions are huge, the pasta is made with real cheese, the beef is unbelievably delicious, the stewed cabbage is amazing, and they even serve some kind of bread that’s just delightful. It was my first time here, and unfortunately, I was just passing through for work. But they helped me choose what to order since I wasn’t sure, and everything was a solid 100 out of 100. I absolutely recommend this place!

Amazing comfort cuisine! The spot feels calm and simple, yet every plate tastes top-tier. The legumes are cooked with stunning precision, just like all the other dishes. Truly delightful every mouthful made me smile!

This is fantastic soul food! The place is very low-key, but super high-class food. The Lima beans are perfectly cooked, along with everything else. Wow, this is so good!
The only thing this meal is missing is a nap!

My wife came across this place after watching Matt DV do a review on YouTube. We’ve ordered from here twice already and have not been disappointed either time. It truly reminds us of our grandparents’ cooking. Every bite was delicious and I did not have to add any type of seasoning to my plate. The portion size was huge for the platters which I really appreciated. We’ll have to try some breakfast the next go around.

This is my first time going here. A coworker recommended it. I ordered the fried chicken, Mac n cheese, and yams. I also ordered pig feet… Omgoodness it’s soooooooo good! Everything is delicious! The pig feet are tender and flavourful.
I rated it 4 stars Bc I would have liked one additional piece of chicken. I think a 3pc would’ve been perfect with this dish! Other than that, I have no complaints. I’m currently still eating it.
I DO feel like I have to comment on the restaurant itself. Keep an open mind! It has a very old school southern feel. Nothing fancy about it all. I felt like I was transported back to South Carolina in a restaurant on a back road… You know… The kind all of the locals know about Bc their food is amazing!
I’m definitely going back!

Caught them right before closing for takeout on Easter Sunday. This was my first time eating here despite riding past the restaurant basically all my life. Blown away by the food, easily some of the best soulfood in Newark. The oxtails and turkey wings were tender and flavorful. The mac and cheese and yams were perfect. The fried chicken was crispy and well seasoned, and the cabbage was decent as well. I’ll absolutely be back to try other dishes as well as their breakfast. Don’t be discouraged by the location or minimal online presence. This is a no-frills spot beats out a lot of the more overhyped/popular soul food restaurants, easily.
