This is the worst soul food I?ve ever tasted! The worst attitude from a foreign restaurant! The Turkey wings were burnt and... salty! N potato salad shouldn?t be YELLOW! Potatoes are WHITE ! And it tasted like MUSTARD! I would never go back there !! Stickto CARIBBEAN FOOD BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY YOU EVER LIVED IN THE SOUTH!!! Imposters!!!! Fake!!! Fraud!!!! Read more

I really like this place. The food is so good, but the prices online don't match the prices inside. And also they need help with... staffing, my suggestion is to call ahead before picking up your food. Read more

I was not pleased with any of the of the food. I ordered Short Ribs - $29.00 Turkey Wings - $19.00 Fried Whiting - $22.00 The... short taste strange like they were old ore cooked when they was frozen. They were dry nit tender and juicy. Some was cut thinlittle bits of pieces and the a big bone with meat and fat, it was flavored with a lot of salt. I did no see any quality aboutthis meat. The mac & cheese ok but nothing great because it was a lot of scrapings, for all the meals. The Turkey Wings tasteold also and flavored with a lot of salt. The Whiting was tiny not meaty at all. The collard greens was good. I want tosupport black business but I will never spend my money here again, because I spent $75 here with beverages and I expected adecent dinner. I feel like I was taken for a fool. Never again. Read more

This was my first visit to this establishment and my last. Young lady that took my order was very polite. I called my order in... and by the time I got there it was ready a few minutes later. I wasn't crazy about the presentation of the food. Macaroni andcheese was soggy, the lima beans tasted old, overcooked and vinegary, turkey wings had a unusual smell and vinegary, and thedress dressing was mushy. So Disappointed. Read more

One of the best southern food I?ve had in North Jersey. Had the ox tail and it?s literally falling off the bone. The yams are... seasoned to perfection. Highly recommend this place. Great job Gail ! Read more

We ordered from Tastey's via DoorDash on 1/31/21 and it was great! The portions were very generous. The potato salad in... particular was amazing but it was all very good. Would definitely recommend! Sorry the pictures are so dark, had a purple lighton in the room. Read more
