If you want to try something that's not fried chicken , go with the ox tail . So damn good. And the cornbread was one of the best I've ever had! Alert: huge portions so be prepared to share or take out .
A little slice of the South in SF. The corn muffins ARE as good as they smell. Get some collard greens and add some Cholula hot sauce . The catfish poboy is tasty as is the roll it's on.
Three pieces of fat, juicy chicken ($12) - generously coated in flour and garlic salt with an undercurrent of what tastes like cayenne - come with two sides, plus excellent corn muffins . Read more
Blackened snapper with 2 sides of candied yams and collard greens and 2 cornbread muffins $15. Worth the trek!
I am from the South and these guys serve up some of the best southern cooking I have had. Great portions, service, friendly people too.
Excellent home style Southern food . Southern fried chicken is the star; have it with waffles , delicious sides or in a sandwich .
Our regular place to kick off the weekend. We order the same every week and wait staff knows us. Sounds boring, but the food isn't. Very good red beans and rice , and I'm from New Orleans. Thumbs up!
What's not to love here. Can't go wrong but I'm partial the the fried catfish with crystal sauce. Side of greens and red rice and beans. Good beer and root beer on tap .
The chicken is cooked until its exterior is a dark golden brown, and will make you believe in fryer vat miracles. Don't expect the fastest service, but in return, you're welcome to linger. Read more
Fried chicken or oxtail are the clear winners. We always resolve to order something else and then we arrive and can't resist and order fried chicken and oxtail again...
Muffins are great. I really like the collards . And it's hard to go wrong with spicy fried chicken .
I'd never had oxtail before, so I figured this was a good place to try it. So good! If you like braised short ribs , give the oxtail a try!
Its a really good place to eat fried chicken . I would recommend the the 3 piece fried chicken with three different entrees. I would also recommend the chicken and waffles !! yum
God, this place is delicious. Still dreaming about their chicken and waffles . Not really the healthiest food, but definitely amazing comfort food .
Massive portions and everything I ordered was delicious! Definitely get collard greens and mac n cheese for sides.
$12 for a very large platter of 3 pieces fried chicken , two sides (mac n' cheese and collard greens , mmm), and two pieces of cornbread . Wash it down with an ice cold beer .
Delicious and friendly service ! Ox tail and fried chicken are amazing! Also free wifi which is their phone number
Used to be a regular for lunch . Mac and cheese + collard greens + the smothered pork chops are fantastic.
Spicy fried chicken or country fried steak - but get the collards either way!
7x7 mag recommends for southern comfort food "exceptional waffles paired with crisp fried chicken and cornbread "
Great food good quality customer service.Ive almost tried everything on the menu so far it's been all good.
They're known for their friend chicken , so have them when you're dining here. ????????
Fried chicken with a buttermilk waffle . Heavenly! Collard green , cabbage , yam ... all the side dishes are delish, too!!
You should definitely go with fried chicken here. Skip the string beans and opt for the collard greens instead.
You can't go wrong with the fried chicken , the short ribs or the blackened snapper .
Don't mess around and just get the fried chicken . Also, a tip for those rare hot days in SF: there's no A/C!
Chicken and Waffles with Macaroni and Cheese - delicious. Friendly staff and good service .
The best collard greens I've ever had
The original down-to-earth bar and BBQ . Treat yourself to fried chicken and all the fixins.
I'm from Alabama, and I think that's the best cornbread . Wish they'd add some fried okra ;)
The waitress here is a sweetheart, she is super friendly and very efficient. The Hard Knox IPA is pretty decent... Try it!
Try the oxtail and some red beans and rice with a side of corn . The cornbread rocks!
Fried chicken ????
Great spicy chicken sandwich - someone told me to remove the green chilies which kicked it down to a good hot
Come on Sunday at 11am for quick seating & great service. They do not take AMEX but Visa & MC.
Corn muffins , freshly squeezed orange juice , Mac n cheese , fried chicken — all legit.
Do not order the green beans , nor the Cajun meatloaf . The mac & cheese is fine with a hefty shake of Crystal hot sauce . Cornbread ? Delicious.
fried chicken , mashed potatoes with gravy , rice and gravy . cron muffins to top it all off. bam!
The fried chicken is crispy and moist! Read more
Mac n cheese on a cold day, toss in some chololu to kick it up a notch.
Gumbo is awesome (very spicy ) and only available thursday and friday
The fried chicken meal is an insane amount of food.
Two eggs , potatoes , toast and 3 fried chicken .
You're cheating yourself if you don't try the fried chicken . Also, when they have it, the gumbo is fantastic.
Great fried chicken salad !

the 3-piece fried chicken and Mac and cheese are must haves! although everything else is almost just as amazing.
Corn muffin 's very nice and fried chicken even better
Try the 3 piece fried chicken with a buttermilk waffle , and sweet tea to wash it down. Good music and service, too.
