Dishes mentioned
Fried Chicken and Waffles
I ordered the fried chicken and waffles, and it's incredible. The chicken is so juicy, I've never had fried chicken this juicy before. The breast is not dry at all, it's three fingers thick and super succulent. The waffles are perfect with it. I'd give it a 10 out of 10.
Catfish
The catfish is fried and delicious. It's really good, I ate it all. It's a classic soul food dish and they do it right here.
Chicken Livers
The chicken livers are amazing. They're so good, I wanted to say they're delicious. Really tasty, a great starter.
Oxtail
The oxtail is spectacular. It's like butter, it melts in your mouth. They make it on Wednesdays here, and it's a real treat. I'd say it's more than good, it's amazing.
Mac and Cheese
The mac and cheese is a bomb. It's like mushy rice with cheese on top, really creamy and comforting. It's a great side dish.
