First off, I told my husband we have got to try out this Soul Food rest in our neck of the woods. We just moved from S.O. to Northridge. I was so excited after discovering this place on the web and on City Search. I read all the reviews and felt like I was going to get the best Fried Chicken in the Universe and all of L.A. as some had previously wrote. NOT!! Needless to say, I was very disappointed. I don't know who write these reviews although there was a couple of bad ones. This place is awful. The service was bad, slow and not friendly at all. I ordered your typical traditional soul food meal, which was the Fried Chicken, collard greens, mac n'cheese, candied yams. The Chicken was very ""Bland"", the greens had too much Chili Powder in it, not good flavor at all and the mac n' cheese was absolutely disgusting. Very watery, stove top like and not an ounce of cheese flavor anywhere. The yams were okay and at best the preferred dish among everything else. Our waitress was somewhat rude, forgot our cornbread muffins and intervened with a ""Why Not"", when I told my young child that a hamburger she would not have. We're at a Soul Food Rest, order soul food, the waitress act as though she was offended. I look at my husband and then at her as if to ask are you seriously questioning what I say to my kid? Totally out of line. Oh, my husband ordered the Jambalaya soup which he did enjoy. The lemonade was okay as was the Buttermilk pie we ordered to go. The rest is much too be desired. I say, don't bother! This restaurant is far from the best, not even close! We will not go there again. Oh, one more thing, They have a B in the window, which my husband was ready to walk out on that alone, I convince him to stay b/cause I really had ""High Hope"" for ths establishment. I ignored the B, I ignore the rude service, I even ignored the dirty floors, a big ignore, wondered why they got a B, Clean the place up a bit!! In a nut shell, don't waste your time or money.
