| - I went there for the soul food, and ended up with so-so food.
In town for just 1 night (Thursday) and was searching for a place to eat. Saw some reviews of Nana's, and went there eagerly anticipating bourbon chicken, meatloaf, and some sides.
I review the menu on the wall, and there are my choices. Ok. "Bourbon chicken please." "Oh sorry, that's only available Tuesday." Hmmm. Ok. "Meatloaf please." "Yeah, that's available on Monday." Grrrrr. Ok. "Jerk chicken?" "Wednesday."
Oh come on!
I'm on a low carb, high protein diet, so some of the other items were just not allowed on my diet, such as chicken alfredo, fried chicken, etc. So I ordered baked chicken. Baked chicken. The same baked chicken I make for myself 4 nights a week. I also ordered catfish.
Sides. Hmmm, lemme see. "Okra please." "We don't have okra." This is a soul food place right? Southern cooking? No fried okra? I mean, really?
So I grabbed a couple random sides and sat down. Chicken was juicy and delicious. Sides were cucumbers and tomato (very spicy for some reason) and black eyed peas. Good. The catfish was inedible - I started digging into the VERY HARD, VERY THICK batter to find some actual catfish meat, and found little. The breading was so tough, so thick, that it was like chewing on sandpaper. I just gave up.
Very disappointed.
