Sit inside-the bus stop right next to the outdoor tables will disturb your meal. The sweet tea is delicious, but it's more like an Arnold Palmer than a plain Southern sweet tea .
The Best Soul Food in Portland!!! Get the Beef Brisket and Pulled Pork with the Mac & Cheese and Cornbread !
The food is Good I wonder where they got the watermelon at cause it was A-1 sweet and juicy
I know this is silly, but take your leftovers to-go. If only for the awesome reusable microwave safe to-go box!

Get the sorrel drink! It's a lovely purple refreshment!
Make sure you have time to eat here. We waited 45 minutes for our meal and those who ordered 20 minutes after got their meal before ours. Basically eat something before you come here.
Closed on church day.
Chicken and waffles are scary good.
Waited about 50 minutes before our food came and when it arrived it was cold and not cooked all the way through. I won't be coming here again.
Service is the worst , waited an hour just to find out the cook never got our order. So we left.
Great Food!
Everything has been on point. Arrive early no reservations, worth the wait. Bring your appetite, otherwise prepare to have leftovers. - Toné M
