| - To jump straight to the point, it's okay. Three people were in my oarty and we ordered the full order of fried chicken, full order of catfish and half order of bbq chicken.
I can (and will) only speak for the taste of the fried chicken. The fried chicken was well seasoned...but the meat itself seemed kind of dry. I had also ordered greens, mac & cheese & mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes were alright, nothing extraordinary. Mac & cheese wasn't as cheesy as I prefer, but again..alright. The greens... I can cook greens so I'm pretty particular. I prefer mine spicy, these greens were not. They were quite smokey tasting. Some people prefer that.
The pros about this joint is that there is a lot of space, the mason jar kool aid (drinks in general) are a nice touch and the hot water cornbread served with the meals was great!
There is room for improvement in the service. The person acting as hostess that day (she was also serving, wish we had gotten sat in her section) was sweet and attentive. Our server stopped by to take our order and drop off our food and check. Our server never checked on us or our drinks... how our food tasted. I was thinking that maybe she was having a bad day, but I've served... leave your home problems at home.
There is also room for improvement on the flavor and quality of some of the food... but that may vary by person. Those who did not grow up eating and/or cooking soul food may not know, ha, but it can be executed much better.
Speaking about everything outside of the hostess... it just seemed like everyone didn't really care today. Perhaps just one of those days? I'm antsy to try the other location... I'm used to seeing a soul food joint on every other corner. I don't always feel like cooking, ha!
Don't come to Vegas for soul food... if you are really craving it, try this location if you want to - but don't expect anything to blow your mind.
