"Each chicken, feed some people"- Their slogan on the menu
We loved this place. The fact that their sole purpose is to make good food so that they can feed the homeless in the area makes me happy.
I had the fried chicken with mac & cheese, Black eyed peas and creamy potatoes. The entree was excellent for the most part. The peas were not my favorite, but I think it's more of a preference thing for me. My wife had the fried flounder, and it was amazing. I was actually a little jealous, but don't tell the chicken. We also "split" the chocolate, peanut butter crumb cake that was decadent.
The staff were amazing. Some of the best service we have had. Our friend told us that their cornbread was extremely tasty, but when we asked about it, we were informed that they only serve that at lunch now. A few minutes later our waiter came back a warm basket saying he found a few pieces in the back for us. All of his recommendations were spot on and he helped us understand a little more about the mission of the restaurant. Knowing that the proceeds were helping the community, we didn't mind splurging on items that we normally might pass over like dessert.
The atmosphere was also warm and cozy. My wife said it felt like someone's home. The candlelight was perfect and the layout of the place was nice.
Definitely try this place if you are looking for soul food in the truest meaning of the phrase.
