"Ambiance, Service, and Food was lol fantastic. Snapshots isn't a MUST eat kinda spot, but you're in the area and taking someone out to eat or meet up with some friends or family the food and ambience will not disappoint. The Cuban Pork sandwich was really good, dripping with juice and flavor. The Clam Chowder (soup of the day) was also light in consistency but the flavor was awesome. I would definitely go again if I was ever in the area."
"The food here is excellent; so much so that I'm keeping the bookmark to make sure I come back the next time I'm in the neighborhood. All the meats I've tried thus far have been deliciously juicy and tender. One of my favorites from my first visit was the brisket; it's succulent and rich with a taste that's so good it will always leave you hungry for more! Tip: Portion sizes are all large, especially the sides. While you might find it tough to save room, if you're a dessert person I recommend both the peach cobbler and the Reese's Pie"
"Oh CJ's how you fill my heart with joy. The soul roll is Probably one of the best things I've put in my mouth this year (pause). nah fr tho they do a lot of things really really well here, the soul rolls are elite just rich and delicious stuffed with Mac and cheese, greens, yam & smoked turkey with a sweet little drizzle! The Fried chicken/wigs goodgawd seasoned to the bone, crispy crunchy juicy. The catfish is legitimately the best catfish I've ever eaten. Period. Cornbread is buttery and moist. The Mac and cheese is top tier also has a Cajun vibe to it, it's a creamy Mac not a cheese pull Mac if you catch my drift. All the dang food is good. Ambiance is a personal choice they do live bands and DJ's and whatnot I personally was vibing and was pretty much bobbing my head the entire time while eating my food but the wifey thought it was too load, probably because she wanted to talk the entire time but ya know, god is good. lol. The have amazing murals of some African American legends all over the walls Kobe, prince, Aretha, Bernie, Aliyah and many other greats that have passed. Service was aight, drink ran out never got refilled but whatever, was a little slow on food coming out but we did order like $140+ worth of food. Now for a controversial topic, automatic 18% gratuity and $5 per person for the DJ and or band that's preforming. I'm on the I really don't care side of things but I can see it running people the wrong way. It's also not my first time being here so I already knew what it was. All in all tho I love this place. 8.9 out of 10"
"My go to when I want good soul food that I can count on to be good. Everything on the menu is excellent. Only thing I have not had is the spaghetti. I've had the liver, wings, fried fish, pork chops and all of the sides. Customer service is awesome. I highly recommend The Good Kitchen. T"
"Delicious fried fish fresh!! Can't wait to go back! Great customer service and always with a smile! Worth the hour drive!"
"Wanted some fish but was lazy, so it had to be delivered. This popped as option on Grubhub. Got perch with Cole slaw and grew beans as sides. Also got few wings (haven't tried these yet). The fish was DELICIOUS although quite small pieces for the price. The slaw was good but green beans way too salty, although it had good flavor.The fish was delivered still hot. Definitely recommend"
"Really different and delicious. I would eat here again. And suggest this place. My ancestry is 70% Nigerian."

One of my favorite places in Granville. The sandwiches are interesting and tasty and the soups were even better.

Yes, the hype is real.The best BBQ in CBus.We stopped at the drive thru location for a quick snack and as usual were not disappointed. So happy they have this as one of their dining options. Every one of the locations never misses the mark.I have been a backyard amateur smoker of BBQ for years and totally appreciate all the work that goes into preparing t their food. All the food is amazing and i have never been disappointed with their brisket, pulled pork, chicken, speciality items, or sides. Service is always top notch. Staff is very pleasant and takes time to answer any of your questions. Locations are always clean and what you expect for local BBQ flavor. The drive thru location has smokers on site and makes food right there. It is not trucked in. This location also has a walk-up window and picnic tables to eat outside.If you like BBQ, you must try one of the Ray-Ray locations!

I'll start with the good, because it was really good. I called early ( around 12:15, they opened at 1 PM ) and the guy that answered the phone offered to start up the fryer early in order to make me a pork chop for lunch before I headed out of town. Now if that isn't customer service I don't know what is! I declined and actually just waited since I was so moved by the offer. The lady behind the counter was also extremely nice. So their customer service is top tier!Now for the bad : One Pork Chop and Two Pieces of Bread is $10! - that's way too expensive, I know inflation is crazy right now, but damn. Also if you order ahead over the phone you have to pay with credit card right then and there, I guess too many clowns have ordered and not picked up their meals. Also the taste of the pork chop was fresh, but weird. It taste as though they used the same batter that just put fish in, or fried fish in the same oil. It was just really unpleasant. I had to finish it though. Can't let $10 go down the drain. Ha Side note, be prepared to eat in your car or at home. There's a small little booth in the place but I don't think anyone would be comfortable eating there.

A little on the pricey side but the food is good and fresh. Sometime they give you extra Lemon Pepper sometimes they don't.

Delicious soul food and great service. Also found pricing to be pretty decent. Whiting was delicious and HUGE. My husband loved his pork chops. We continue to come back.

An in-law raved about this spot while visiting jn Columbus Ohio and I wasn't impressed at all. Firstly, it is a food truck and they had a schedule of where they would be and we got there and there were not there. Wish they would update things as they go. Secondly the food was over priced $15/$16 for some meals that I think should be $12 max. Thirdly the food wasn't that great. The Egusi was watery and the jollof was not good at all. The only good thing on the menu that I tried was the Suya. That I could go back for whenever in the area.

I tried this restaurant b/c my cousin posted about it on IG. The food was very good and seasoned well. Small building on E. Main, you may pass it if you're not looking out for it. There are two lanes for drive-thru. I waited about 5-8mns at the window for my food, but it definitely worth the wait. I'll definitely be going back to try the other items on the menu.

"I need to preface this by stating, I'm not much for soul food - I think I may have been raised a little too caucasianally. However, I was open to trying Str8 when a friend asked me to lunch.The staff was so very friendly, and patient.I kept to the sides, as I am usually a side girl anyways. I ordered macaroni and cheese and the yellow rice. The rice was surprisingly my favorite followed by the Mac... my friend enjoyed his greens and told me the cornbread was really good. Honestly, I thought this place was out of business -- it's closed on Mondays, and I'm usually in the area on Mondays ;-)Note - this is take away only, but they do have a drive through.If this is your food type of choice, this appears to be a solid option."
"Hey y'all!! I'm pretty sure my pictures look kinda sus and aren't really giving this meal it's due diligence but hear me out. It was actually delicious....well...I have some notes: One: Do Not order off UberEats! ( they dropping off everybody and their momma meals before yours). Which is extremely irritating when by the time you get your meal it's a cool room temperature. Anywho i digress, what I loved about this meal was how flavorful and seasoned everything was. But my biggest gripe were those freaking mashed potatoes. You can always tell who is using powdered mashed potatoes and who isn't. It just don't hit the same. Everything else *chefs kiss* Aye that catfish though! Amazing! Compliments to the chef! -Oh I don't have a picture of the corn bread but that's the star of the show. Make sure you get some. Overall this place hit all the right spots and I definitely would recommend!!"
"In my neighborhood, there are many local kitchens that have been around for years. Specifically, Amina's Fish has been a staple in the Mount Vernon area.I ordered the catfish dinner (Mac & Cheese and Cabbage/Greens Mix), hush puppies, and fried okra. The food was amazing! I had a pleasure of supporting a local business that has done amazing during COVID-19."
"You may miss the building if you don't know exactly where it is. It's a small black building with a small interior. Small banner out front with a neon OPEN sign. We waited maybe 10 minutes for 4 Meals. Food was hot and the AROMA may have you eating in the car immediately. We ordered The Curry chicken as well as the Jerk chicken with a slice of their indulgent Carrot Cake. All large meals come with sides of Cabbage & Rice. I have nothing negative, just this place needs an update! Maybe somewhere to dine in and eat your meal. This Caribbean Cuisine is worth a try and I will be back to try more entrees and desserts!"
"Absolutely amazing!Must try see pictures Love the perch and catfish Get the sweet potato pie!"
"Really the best. You can't go wrong with any of their options. One gets so much at such a reasonable price it makes you do a triple take. Got the dinner combo with comes with a side (either fries, fried okra, rice), "texas toast" (really just wheat bread buttered and flipped on the grill which was still great), and a drink (can of pop or bottle of tea/water). The flavor was there in the meal. The guy at the counter was very pleasant, patient, and cordial. Once ordering, it took less than 15 minutes til I had my meal. I'll certainly be back."
"There's nothing bad to say. Steak was cooked perfectly medium. Nice and juicey. No sauce needed on with the garlic butter on it. Mac n cheese is creamy. Potatoes are crisp. The quality is higher than one would expect from the location. I'm glad I stopped by."
"The food was great! My granddaughter said the macaroni & cheese was the best she's ever tasted (even better than my 5 cheese mac & cheese)! My wife loved the wings and greens! Overall, everything was great & the portions were huge! We'll definitely be returning!"
"Didn't disappoint !!! Food was tasty welcome back y'all . Had catfish wings and a salad . Definitely will be back . Recommend ordering ahead"
