I've been watching and waiting for Nana's Soul Food Kitchen to open. Heaven knows we need more options on the Southwest side of Charlotte. I stopped in 3/2/11 after a long day at work. The food is setup on steam tables, some of which looked like it had been there for since lunch time. There is an option for a small or large plate where you pick your meat and 2 sides and includes a drink. I choose the whiting, yams and collards. There is a cooler full of desserts, bananna pudding was out so I got te peach cobbler. I drove home inhaling the aroma ready to sample my meal. The fish was alright but could have been seasoned a bit more for my taste, but given that everyone has different tastes, a hittle hot sauce did the trick. The yams were delicious even though they were a bit sweeter than I am would prepare, the collards were on the money. My one mistake was not putting the peach cobbler in the microwave for a minute, since I really don't care for it cold. However, it was flavorable with the right amount of crust, I prefer a little sugar on my crust or that it be baked a little harder. The only thing missing though was a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Fora newly opened resturant there will naturally be some growing pains. Nana's is on my yes list. It will be great to watch them grown.
