Washington PostAugust 29, 2014Lazy Sunday afternoons are best spent on a breezy patio with a plate of fried-to-order chicken and a large glass of sweet tea. Don't skimp on the sides. Read more
jonahJanuary 17, 2016The owner brings some of his Indian dishes from his old restaurant, in addition to all the southern options. The shrimp curry was wonderful. Ask for any daily specials for more.- Washington PostAugust 19, 2014On the Southern-inspired menu: Wings, fried chicken and fried pork chops. Every morning, chef Dindyal estimates he makes 40 servings of the cornbread to complement the soul food. Read more

- Erin LGOctober 10, 2013Out of the way Southern food. Good fried chicken and cornbread so moist you won't need butter.
Anthony BeharryFebruary 13, 2015Try the corn bread. A bit sweet but moist. The fried chicken is good with broccoli.
Clinton CanadyMarch 17, 2012They do eggs and grits with anything else -- I got fried chicken -- some of the best in the city!
Laura RenengerSeptember 16, 2011Triple decker BLT - a sandwich full of awesome. But don't expect the service to be speedy.
Good fried pork chops, great when owner is cooking them.
- New ownership, place looks nice with upgrades, but quality and quantity of food is terrible. I will not be coming here again.
Cherg410 GoodmanNovember 4, 2010Just okay I have had better. Don't get the mac and cheese it needs seasoning.
