Wow. This was our second choice for brunch in Lakewood. I'm so glad the other place had a line out the door so we were compelled to come here! My favorite thing was the "Cleveland original soul rolls", egg roll shells filled with chicken, greens, beans and cheese sauce. Seriously, try these! Everything else was delicious, artful soul food. The fried okra was perfectly prepared with a delightful crunch. The grits were creamy and wonderful, and I'll bet their shrimp and grits are amazing. Fried chicken and red velvet waffles were a big hit with the kids.
And that was just what we ordered. The menu is chocked full of dishes I can't wait to try next time! The desserts especially.
Granted, I'm not from the South so I really shouldn't be talking about authenticity but I do appreciate the unique details. Like this is the first restaurant I've been in that served Cool Aide. And on the table is just hot sauce and syrup. Salt and pepper are completely irrelevant because nothing isn't savory and seasoned. I only have one very small caveat. I with they would serve real half and half not the those little shelf stable creamers.
