I ordered the fried ribs , yams, mac and cheese and cabbage. The yams were terrible no sweetness at all i had to add my own brown sugar to it in order to eat them. And the cabbage was super salty had to throw that away. The mac and cheese was terrible too salty as well ot cheesy enough. The fried ribs were alright. Need to do better with the sides.

First off let me start by saying Melanie is delightful and the customer service is great! It actually feels like I’m just picking up food from family 🤗 Now when I say that this food is delicious 🤤 fresh and hot every time. We had the smothered turkey chops with mac and greens. The creamy garlic salmon with mac, yams and greens. The consistency is key for me. I will always patronize this business 💎 Stay true to your business and this community. Keep serving god’s people. Continued Blessings for this family and their business 🙏🏽♥️

First time trying fried ribs. Pretty good. Yams were amazing with just the right sweetness & without being heavy. (That's skill.) Mac & cheese is legit! Not sure if the gravy on the smothered chicken is homemade, but it's clear the chicken itself was fresh & well seasoned. (Clean too as there were no feathers. Thank God.) Took off 1/2 star for the cabbage (a little salty because it may have been on the bottom). Clever packaging was fantastic for delivery, meaning no tampering. We will be back!)

Prison as atmosphere, don't know why I wasted 30 dollars. Pot -roast to gummy/gooey macaroni was dried out, and the corn bread was just freaking soak in wett like a dam sponge, and yes it was separate from the food in a freaking plastic bag.(. PSA the dressing was good no lie but no cranberry sauce got me heated)
