Service was kind. We enjoyed our food. Yams were too sweet for me. The shrimp and grits were ok. Fried chicken was perfection. Empty on a Sunday afternoon. Unsure why. Deserves a visit.

The food was delicious. Service was average. The place needs a little energy or decoration, idk, the place seemed low energy. The art was a very nice touch on the wall.

I ordered the fried chicken with greens and loved it. The fried chicken was so crispy and hot. This was my first time and now I look forward to going again next time I'm in Akron.

We were very disappointed in this restaurant. We had a group who f eight people and we were all looking forward to shrimp and grits as well as jambalaya. We had an early reservation at 6PM. When we got there we were surprised that there were only two other tables occupied. The hat should have been the first clue. We ordered drinks and one person wanted an old fashioned with one of the whiskeys listed on their menu only to find out they were out of it as well as their second choice. When we ordered our dinners they only had 2 dinners left of both the shrimp and grits as well as the jambalaya so not everyone was able to get what they wanted. The shrimp and grits was delicious but the jambalaya and the Chicken Etoufee was very bland. When we paid the bill I quickly looked at the itemized bill to make sure each item we ordered was listed and nothing extra. I then signed the credit card slip and added a 20% tip. After I got back to the hotel I looked at the itemized bill again and saw that they added a 18% service charge. At no time we're we told that they automatically added the 18% for parties if 6 or more. In fact even for parties of less then 6 people they automatically add a 15% gratuity giving the patrons no option of tipping less. This policy was also not printed on the credit card receipt. In fact on the credit card receipt listed various suggested tips for various percentages. They should have told us this when we made our reservation or when the waiter brought the bill. Unfortunately I can not recommend this restaurant.

Great place! I got the blackened catfish and collard greens and my boyfriend got the fried catfish and green beans. We also got the Mac n cheese. The food was incredible!!Nice ambiance, jazz softly playing in the background. Staff very attentive.

Very delicious everyone I was with ordered something different and we shared off of each other's plate! Everything was cooked to perfection! My favorite sides were green beans and candied yams. Next time I go I want to try the Mac and Cheese !!! Will be back and will recommend this place to everyone! 3 meals cost $51 total so pricing is very reasonable!

I ordered the catfish & Mac and cheese. Our server was nice. I didn't catch her name but she was super sweet. The atmosphere was chill and paid back. I must say that the catfish was the best fish I had in quite some time.

I enjoyed the food and atmosphere. It was busy before a concert ... make sure you make reservations.

Went in today after my graduation looking for a place to eat in Akron. Went in and the waitress ignored us until another couple came in and then took care of them before us. Once she saw us she had a very poor attitude towards us and didn't hardly get a refill for us when needed. Once the food came out it was awful. I got the jambalaya and it was bland and for sure microwaved. My girlfriend got chicken tenders which were fine but the mashed potatoes and mac and cheese were awful. And for the last dish my mother got a burger well done and it looked like a grill brick. It tasted awful as well. The best thing we had was the water. To sum it up, poor service, poor food, poor attitude. Would not recommend what so ever. For soul food it's definitely pretty soul less.

Excellent fried chicken, grilled or deep fried tenders with your choice great side dishes. Included in this photo was a house salad with chicken, a side of white French and add chicken for a nominal fee. Side of collards and black eyed peas shown.
