★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Gregory Williams · Dec 2025

This is a community restaurant that is is being micro managed by a cranky dis-respectful owner. The service is VERY SLOW. I was 2nd in line and it took the server 20 minutes to fulfill my order. I wanted two orders of turkey wings with collards and candied yams. I was told that they were out of yams so I ordered potato salad. But before my order was prepared and bagged she (the owner) came out of the kitchen with a fresh tray of candied yams. So, I asked the server for 2 orders of candied yams in addition to the potato salad. The owner interceded and said I could only have 1 order of yams. I declined and I should have walked out on the entire order since I had not paid for it yet. But I decided then and there I wasn't going back there again. She's killing the business with her dys

The food here is scrumptious, well seasoned and ample portions. We got the turkey wings, collard greens, mac and cheese, peach cobbler and extra sides of collards and potato salad.You receive cornbread with your meal. Everything was packed up nicely for us and the restaurant itself is very clean. I realize some complained about the personality of one of the women. However, stay focused on why you’re there. A little crankiness is not a big deal… to me. Also, we never know what someone is dealing with. Honestly, my (customer care) experience was neutral for the most part. Shrugs.

I finally came here after years of hearing about this place and trying many different options from places in New Rochelle all the way to Nyack. Although the atmosphere is minimal the food is delicious and plentiful. I felt as if I was picking up plates of soul food from my church ladies with the gospel music playing which I did not mind. I ordered three dinners we tried the fried chicken, collards, yams and one order of mac and cheese that was a mistake we should have gotten more and order of peach cobbler. As my daughter described it she felt like eating this food was like getting a hug from a grandma! None of the food is overly seasoned which my husband and I prefer but seems to be the common mistake a lot of soul food locations are making. There is a detour near the location which mak

★★★★★ 5.0 Priestly Canty · Jan 2021

Was in the area so I decided to check out this spot before ending back to the Friendly staff! The turkey wings are very good. I really enjoyed it. The ribs are tendar, and seasoned well. I have eaten ribs from many spots before, but I must say the ribs here are better than most. I was even given one extra rib for good luck. 😇 The sides of collard greens, and macoroni, and cheese were good as well. You get a piece of corn bread with every meal. The corn bread is nice, and moist. The sweet potatoe pie was okay; the crust was a little hard though. I was told they have different meats, different days of the week, so check on what they are serving that day before you go.

Stopped here after visiting a friend, great food, we got the fish dinner and the fried chicken dinner. Redina & her mom are so sweet. I left with my leftovers and a plant 😊 I'll definitely be back when I visit again.
