★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Mona · Dec 2025

Owners daughter made our first time visit better after I requested a different table. The gentleman at the door, greeted very welcoming also. We also enjoyed the bday event vibe with the games in the room, looked like a lot of fun. But the food, sorry, almost everything was way over salted. We couldn’t finish our food. My favorite that wasn’t over salted was the fish. But, the fries, Rasta pasta and oyster was over seasoned and over salted. Thank you for allowing the review and comments.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 SD “Savage” L · Feb 2026

The vibe was great. The server had the entire room so it took a while to check on us. By the time he returned my cold fries were already past the point of just heat them a bit. The Hennessy Wings were very heavy and tasted more like a sweet and sour sauce. The Mac n cheese was very, very dry and flavorless. The fish and shrimp were fine.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Alter Ego · Jan 2026

This place was just what I needed. I had been craving some good food. Particularly some Ox Tails. Y's Choice really hit the spot. The Ox Tails were very flavorful, yams firm and perfectly done, tender turkey wings, the Mac was cheesy and delicious and them crab cakes were off the hook. The greens where average but had a nice bite to them. A little salt and pepper and for sure this as a solid 8. I would definitely recommend if you're in the area or don't mind the drive for a pretty decent meal.

★★★★★ 5.0 DiJonnae Neal · Feb 2026

Excellent food, excellent staff, everything excellent. We came here for my God mom’s bday and though they were closing they still accommodated us. The food is EXCELLENT!!! My favorite was the red beans and rice. 10/10 would highly recommend. Lamb chops were so tender, smothered turkey with the gravy!!!! Everything was wonderful
