I live 40 mins from this restaurant, so I won't be rushing back. \n\nAppetizers: I was able to try the fried zucchini which was crispy on the outside and not mushy on the inside. The soul rolls with chicken were very good.\n\nEntree: Smothered Pork Chops, with collard greens, rice and yams. The chops were tender and the smothered part wasn't drowning in onions which I liked a lot.\n\nThere were a couple of issues regarding the side items. The yams were unremarkable. The collard greens were awful - way too much vinegar. Apparently, this was just an off night for the greens. Others at the table said that the greens are usually good. The wild rice was the only side item that I liked.\n\nDessert: I tried both the peach and apple cobblers and both were disappointing. I really wanted the sweet potato pie, but I wasn't willing to pay $4.95 or $5.95 for a slice.\n\nThe night started off very good with great appetizers, main entree was very good, the sides weren't great and dessert was the blah ending.\n\nService: I thought Thomas the Ma\u00EEtre d' was very rude when he decided to announce to our table of 7 who had just spent $30 - $40 each, that he needed our table for another group. We hadn't even been cashed out yet. Bo our server who has only been working there 1 month did a nice job. The appetizers took forever to come out, but I don't know if that was Bo's fault or the kitchen.\n\nI would go back if I was in the neighborhood, but it won't be someplace I make a special trip to visit."^^ .
