So I’ve been wanting to try this place and support this black owned business. I finally tried it……Upon walk in, they were nice and it looked clean. My food was ready on time. So the Mac and cheese had a very odd after taste and dry to me. I would rate it a 1 out of 5. The cabbage had no true flavor just a buttery taste. 1 out of 5 if I had to rate. The collards were ok but very salty and no true flavor. There was some meat in it but it was no smoked flavor …not much at all just salt. Rate 2 out of 5 honestly. Shrimp grits were nothing to rave about. No creaminess just dry grits….maybe a sauce was missing for them ??? 2 out of 5. Potato salad was ok though (3 out of 5). Fried fish was salty so salty that adding hot sauce will give you a headache. They forgot to give me tartar sauce. I feel like the fish would’ve been fine with tartar sauce because the seasoning was great. It was also very flaky and cooked to perfection. My son had the chicken and waffles and loved it. Said the waffle was 8 out of 10. I’m not sure the hype but mostly everything I tasted was thrown away for a $90+ tab, pretty unacceptable.

The food is amazingly fresh, made to order, and priced well. The staff are so genuine and are very knowledgeable of the menu. They’ve provided us with service and care throughout our meal. We favor the Blackened chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries as well as the Salmon and grits. I still want to know what’s in those grits? They are fire, you hear me. The catfish is always hot and big fat filets. They dont skimp on the food and besides you can just take it home. This review is making me hungry.

⭐️ 3.5 / 5 – Black-Owned Comfort Spot Worth a Second Try
I love me some good southern and Creole comfort food, but most spots are usually in Maryland. So when I found this Black-owned gem right here in Woodbridge, I had to try it! You know I’m always going to give the real tea on a restaurant. Beautiful artwork on the walls with neosoul music playing. The server was extremely friendly ans helpful.
The collards were a miss for me—slightly sweet, which some may enjoy if you grew up with that touch of sugar to hide the bitterness. I prefer mine more savory. The turkey and collard green gumbo was flavorful but missing that extra kick of seasoning to really set it off. Still a great option for those with shellfish allergies. The cornbread with corn niblets was okay—nothing to make sparks fly.
Soapbox moment: a soul food restaurant with no mac and cheese is highly unacceptable! Sweet potato mash and ribs were taking too long to prepare, but I’ll definitely give them another try because you know I love me some fried fish.
The restaurant itself is very small, so it’s not big-family friendly (anything over 8 people might be tight). Carry-out may be your best option—definitely order ahead!

Me and my mom were passing through and stopped to get some food in a hurry. The food is delicious! Everything is cooked and seasoned perfectly and i can honestly say this is the best red beans and rice i have ever had!!

Mannnnnn!!! When I try new places I like to get a spread and that’s what I did! Go get you some right now, Tuesday-Sunday, whenever you craving food and it’s Soul this the place to try!
Cornbread moist and perfection, rice and gravy is perfect. Chicken wings fried perfectly and tastes good! Pork chops perfect! Fish perfect! Sides could be a little bigger for the greens if you charge $8 I’ll take the rice and gravy for $6 (that’s probably my only feedback not a complaint) It’s easier to write something negative about the place than praise them- but this place deserves their flowers!!!!
Hands down!!!

We stopped by Down Home Comfort Cafe for dinner, on a friend’s recommendation. I enjoyed the shrimp and grits were absolutely on point. The grits were creamy, rich, and simply delicious, and the shrimp were grilled to perfection.
Flavor!
We also enjoyed the green beans, cabbage, cornbread, the smothered pork chops, and Jambalaya. We shared everything!
Genuine comfort food made with love.
A special shoutout to Jessica, who was so wonderful. She walked us through the menu and helped us pair sides like a pro. She genuinely welcomed us and made us feel right at home with the kind of service that makes great food even better.
Out of all of it? No hesitation, this is a solid 5-star experience. We’ll definitely be back.

Food was fresh and delicious, environment was clean calm and inviting the atmosphere felt cozy yet upscale with the comfort of home, the prices were affordable, the taste of the food was very authentic and flavorful something you can only get at home from the families best cook, my family of five was very satisfied from the youngest to the eldest even the picky eaters. Highly recommend. 5 stars.

The woman at the register was very kind and patient as we decided what to order. We chose a bacon cheeseburger with sweet potato fries and a chicken sandwich with regular fries. Both sandwiches were delicious!! The chicken was seasoned well. The buns were nicely toasted. The side of BBQ sauce was really good, vinegary! Both types of fries were exceptional and sweet potato fries last a while so I’m snacking on them still! We waited 20 min. for our food which we knew up front. I like having to wait for my food to be prepared well! We walked over to the Sweet Suite for drinks. We received a text message when it was ready. Great spot! Supporting a veteran owned, family run business that exceeds expectations means so much to me.

Ordered to go food from DHC based on the recommendation of a friend. We tried the Honey Cornbread loaf, Fried chicken wings with mambo sauce, and the catfish and grits. Everything was so good! I am glad to find this place and so close to home. I’m looking forward to trying other menu items in the future
