Greens & Things

I was greeted when I walked in. It was clean. The lady taking my order was very helpful and patient with me. (It's hard to receive good customer service, so thank you). The food was hot and fresh. I ordered fried green tomatoes, macaroni, and sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes were my favorite. The macaroni tasted like they used nacho cheese or jalapeños in it. And it was loaded with black pepper. She did tell me that the fried green tomatoes are prepared with the same seasoning and grease as the fish. I knew it would be a chance that I could get sick, and I still took the chance. For my taste buds, the tomatoes weren't seasoned enough. I did, in fact, get sick and ended up suffering for hours. I wish there was a way for restaurants to cater to vegans. We still want to enjoy good food, but the cross-contamination of meat will get me every time. A small fryer to cook the vegetables separately would be amazing.

Where has this place been?? I've heard about Kountry Kitchen and His Place, but Greens & Things-is new to me.I'm glad we stumbled upon this quaint little spot. Our first try was amazing. Great food and faster than their competitors down the street. I had the smothered chicken and my husband had the oxtails. Our dishes were really good. We will be back. Updated: We've been over there a couple times now and I will say, they could work on their consistency. The third visit wasn't AS amazing as the first time. That's probably why they dont have as strong a following as their competitors. And also why I could only give 3-stars versus the 4-star I had previously awarded.The staff is pretty friendly. The young lady did make a mistake on my order-but made it right without attitude which makes a difference. Sometimes when mistakes are made the people on the front can get attitude and don't want to fix the mistake, but that wasn't the case at all-and it didn't take all day.To me: the smothered chicken and oxtails are the best dishes along with their cabbage. Their mac & cheese isn't consistent one day it's amazing and then on the other day not so much. A friend of mine had their meatloaf; which they only serve on Sundays and was not impressed. So if you try that- use caution. To me they'll be my go to place when I want some good ox tails and smothered chicken. We personally don't eat pork but I know they have ribs and pork chops-I might be willing to give it a try-but might go during the week versus the weekend. During the week is when I've had the best results versus the food on the weekends (surprisingly). If you want to try my friends at Greens & Things-go during the week and try one of my favs mentioned above. I hope they get more consistent-Because when that happens I promise you they'll be the number one soul for on the Eastside.

terrible. they chop up the tips so small til its only gristle.they were old.idk if they refried the fries but as you can see... they were brown and tasted like the oil they are using is old.so disappointed

Never thought about trying this location. I did not know what they had until Yelp put me on.I was craving some catfish a few months ago and wanted to try something different and was suggested this location so I said let me give them a try. I remember it was a holiday and most locations were closed but not G&T. I ordered the catfish that came with two sides. I was not able to indulge in most sides due to them containing meat and the most important side was not available at the time. You know what side i'm talking about. The mac. I went with mashed tatters and sweet tatters. The sweet tatters were ok nothing special, not really sweet at all. The mashed tatters were good with a puddle of butter on top. The catfish was huge and seasoned just good. All for $12 w/ tax. I would try them again if I can get some mac next time lol

Love this place and can't believe it has been in the neighborhood and I never knew.I had a half slab of ribs, greens and mac-n-cheese. Pros: -Friendly staff-Mac n cheese was on point. They use a flavorful blend of spices. Not bland at all. -greens were on point and seasoned well. Cons:-ribs were lacking a little. Not a lot of flavor and a little tough. I'll be back to try something new!

OMG!!! This food is straight . The Mac and sheesh was soo flavorful!! The greens were so good and the fried Catfish was good so close to my Mother in Law who is from the south. The hot water cornbread was a little Meh but the whole meal made feel like I was down south.

We tried this place for the first time this weekend. I had the catfish and my husband had the pulled pork and we both enjoyed them. I ordered online and wanted the peach cobbler but they had sold out, so Ms. Annette called me right away and let me know we could get a refund or a different item when we arrive. We tried some of their strawberry crunch cake and loved it! I'll be back to try the cobbler!! Ms. Annette reminds me of one of my Aunts, such an upbeat and helpful lady. Next time I'll post pics, we ate everything so quickly!

This food sucked ! The fries taste like cardboard we waited 30mins to be royally disappointed! My greens tasted dirty . The burger was bad too .

I believe this location has room for growth. However, the customer service is unprofessional. They're charges are pricey and their portion food portions are cheap. They don't give you what they ask what they're actually charging me. I did enjoy the fish green beans were from a can in the sweet potatoes were full of sugar, I would give it a thumbs down on my opinion I wouldn't waste my gas to get there

Turkey ribs taste like kys. Pork ribs are ok. Everything else tastes like someone scared to season. Do not recommend coming from a professional chef.
