| - We were in town for a Panthers game, and were looking for some quick good food. Although I'm from the Boston area, I'm a big fan of southern food (although my experience with true southern soul food is probably limited). What I do know is that for fast food, this food was awesome. The business model essentially presents the customers with a wide variety of prepared main dishes and sides. The main dish offerings included Chicken (fried, backed, bbq, jerk, curry, bourbon), Ribs, smothered pork chop, fried catfish, meatloaf, others. Sides include Black Eyed Peas, Cabbage, Cole Slaw, Collard Greens, Cucumber Salad, Curry Chicken Rice, Fried Okra, Green beans, Lima Beans, Mac & Cheese, Mashed Potatoes, Pinto Beans, Potato Salad, Stuffing, White Rice, Yams, and others.
You can get a small or large dish. Small is 1 meat, large is 2. I got a large plate with Fried Chicken and Smothered Pork Chop. For sides I got cabbage and black eyed peas. My son got BBQed ribs with Mac and Cheese and Collard Greens. Everything was truly excellent. I was most surprised by the pork chop, which was moist and flavorful. I love good fried chicken, and this was pretty good. The Collard Greens and Black Eyed Peas were amazing also.
Not only would I go back, but we actually did the next night for some take out dinner after the football game. I'm sure there are other great soul food place out there, but for quick sit in or take out, I don't think you can do better.
