First time ordering from here and will be my last! Food was not season well , had to add my own seasoning at home . And after all that work we found hair in the food !!!! highly DONT recommend eating here.
For the amount of money spent I would think the food would be better. The collard greens were so salty to the point I could not eat them and they also tasted like they used smoked pork even though they said it had smoked turkey. Mac and cheese was bland. Oxtails were not bad but fir $25.00 I expected more in the plate. The yams were the only thing that was good
Been coming here for years. Everything has been and still is good eats!
I CAME THERE TODAY WAS MY FIRST TIME...FIRST I WANNA SAY IT WAS REALLY CLEAN INSIDE,THE YOUNG LADY WAS REAL NICE.... FOOD WAS FRESH,SMELLED REALLY GOOD....GAVE A NICE PORTION..WAS OK WITH THE PRICE BECAUSE IT WAS DAMN WORTH IT..... I WILL BE BACK???? THANK YOU SO MUCH...
Food looked like it was sitting out a bit too long and the Mac and Cheese didn't look cheesy enough for me so I decided to go somewhere else.... Might hit them up again in the near future
Dingy, rusty old shack. Massive salt and MSG on the food. The oxtail were so salty, I should have eaten them in a hospital emergency room I would not go there ever again. Btw... it was very expensive. The food and restaurant quality has taken a massive decline. ?I would not eat here
This is a hit or miss spot; take it from a NC native ; this is a New York version of NC soul food. Today was the last time I eat this slop. #1. Ribs were tough & as a NC native folks in Kingston know that BBQ is a NC speciality that requires slow aka 4-6hrs & low cooking temperature aka no more than 225 degrees & ribs especially “pork” ribs must to be cooked bone side up. I almost feel like I need a job here to help them get back to the taste the owner built his representation on. The Mac & cheese was a negative 10 on a scale of 1-10 aka it was bland barley no cheese & it tasted like it only had cheap mild cheddar; Mac & cheese is all about quality cheese. The greens were a complete shame ; tasted like water ; they might as well serve Glory greens they taste better. We spent $60+ for three meals only to end up throwing the food out. In NYC you can sell a lower quality of food but in NC this spot wouldn’t last a month with the way the quality keeps going down tear after year while the prices keep going up. When the OWNER is there the food is always right & he does NOT over charge ppl. To top it all off they sold us expired soda that expired in Oct 2021. Checking inventory weekly is key to ensure quality; first in & first out isn’t rocket science. And lastly the whiting fish was absolutely horrible. Xcellent Seafood located at Ralph Avenue has whiting that puts this spot fish to shame & they are proudly West Indian but the quality is definitely Southern. Lesson learned : cook my own soul food it cost less. And lastly the ladies that work here with the exception of the young lady are a complete disgrace to Southern Hospitality ; entirely too aggressive & loud. I truly miss the Old Seafood Caterers when the OWNER ACTUALLY COOKED THE FOOD. If my financial year goes as planned I’m going to support the opening of their competition because I’m tired of NYC versions of Soul Food. Can BK get at least one authentic soul food restaurant?. This food maybe ok for New Yorkers but Southerns know this food is worthy of the trash.
Bought a piece of cake a 3 hours ago and noticed too late (took 2 bites) that the cake IS MOLDY!! I was not able to rate this lower than a 1 star and I would have but Google would not let me. Where is the quality control and the respect for customers. ??? SMH ..... just SMH .....
I purchased here for the first time, food was delicious, deep soul food flavor. Loved the mac & cheese and collard greens. No dine in as of yet.
This food is delicious!! I recommend the smothered pork chops or salmon in macaroni and cheese, however I've tasted a few other dishes and everything was on point as well.
