| - First of all, the restaurant closes at 8 PM, not 9 as listed everywhere on the internet. So, if you do not want to feel rushed while eating or told that "it takes 25 minutes to fry chicken, so don't ask" do not walk in at 7:30 as we did without knowing the true closing time. We were looking for an authentic soul food restaurant and an off the strip experience but this was not it.
After being told what not to order, I opted for the baked chicken and two sides. I've never gone to a restaurant where the meat comes out first, at least 10 minutes before the accompanying sides - oops, only one side was brought out, the other was being cooked. At that point I told the waitress to keep the second side, by the time it would have arrived, the other food would have been finished. The baked chicken was just OK - gravy was too peppery but then again to each his own. Overall, the chicken was just ok nothing to run home and tell anyone about. The one side I did get - greens were good.
My husband had pork chops and three sides - greens, cabbage & rice/gravy. He stated the pork chops and rice gravy were salty the veggies were good.
Maybe this was not their best night but first impressions are lasting impressions. The restaurant came highly recommended by locals who've never eaten in similar restaurants around the country. I had so much hope but have no plans to return.
