Gracie's Kitchen

This was my first visit to the restaurant. I questioned the location, but I decided to enter and place an order to go because there were multiple people waiting in line. The restaurant was clean, and I didn't have to wait an unreasonable amount of time for my food. The cashier was friendly, and explained the business to me. My food was not hot, but it hit the spot. The yams were not sweet, the pork chops were salty and dry, the lima beans were over cooked, and my dinner roll was hard. I will return again to try something different from the menu, especially the Soul Food Sunday Menu.

I love this place for a quick pick up and go. They have a hot bar kind of like cafeteria style and their menu changes daily. Today they had Turkey legs and dressing but I went for the baked chicken. On fridays they have catfish and that is pretty good as well. Whenever, you're in the mood for some soul food swing by and grab you a plate. Their cornbread is the best! The wait isn't that long but they are pretty busy during lunch. They are quick and prompt though. I've enjoyed both meals that I have had here and would recommend to anyone.

We chose this restaurant on a Sunday for it was one of the closest soul food spot in the area. The restaurant was nice and clean and offers a quick to go line & also a small sit in dining area. We selected the baked chicken, dressing, candied yams, spaghetti, macaroni, black eyed peas & fried chicken.. The fried chicken was cooked fresh to order but you have to request it. For the other items in our meal , the baked chicken & spaghetti were both lukewarm. We did arrive close to closing, which was the reason given for the cold food. Although we got there late in the evening, with chicken it needs to be hot at all times.Gracie's definitely deserves a second chance & look forward to going back around lunch time.

I really wanted spaghetti but I heard you have to come earlier! Everything was great but my mac & cheese didn't do it for me this time. It was still good though! It looks just like the previous time I got it but it tasted more "out of the box" to me. Service was great and staff was nice and quick per usual!

I visited Gracie's Kitchen today for the chicken and dressing. Normally I don't have any problems with my order but today I received a plate that look like an kids order. The first young lady gave me the smallest chicken thigh/ leg. The second lady gave me a half of spoon of dressing, cabbage and small pieces of the yams I don't mind paying the high prices on the food but at least give me a adult dinner plate. I'm done with Gracie's don't have to go back!!

Pretty good soul food, some food portions such as the baked chicken are on the small side, prices are a little high but not unreasonable, still food is very good, one of only a handful of places in the area where you can get soul food. More of a to go restaurant than a dine in restaurant as the dining area could use some remodeling, overall good food and decent but lacking dining area, 3.5

Me and my husband went in this afternoon after work wanting meatloaf we pull up around 4:30 I know it's the end of the day but we still decided to try them it was only 2 people in restauran to guys at steam table i first notice no hair nets one had wild blonde air fro or fake other on had a cap smh im very picky about my food we as for meatloaf its in red sauce we don't eat red sauce we ask do they have brown one of the guys said we got pork chop gravy we like HUH we don't want no pork chop gravy on our food my husband gone say we will take it me knowi g me like no sir in my head I didn't want to cause no problender went for it get home food col we warned up in microwave and start it food ain't fit for a no one to eat $35 went straight to garbage I will never ever recommend this dusgu establishment

Ordered the meatloaf and it was not good at all and it was still pink on the inside. Macaroni was also horrible

HERE ARE THE PROS:The food at Gracie's Kitchen is AWESOME! It is seasoned and cooked like "at home" cooked food!! They always have a selection of meats to choose from, including baked and fried chicken, pork chops cooked several ways: in gravy, fried with a coated batter, and grilled, as well as grilled (sautéed) chicken wings, which are my favorite!! You can also select from another one or two meat(s) which change daily. Everything is served in styrofoam sectioned containers where you go through the line and choose your meat. The vegetables change quite often, ranging from HOMEMADE candied yams, FRESH PICKED greens, mash potatoes (gravy), whole kernel and/or cream style corn, green beans (excellent!!), spaghetti, and HOMEMADE macaroni and cheese, which I've never eaten in life, but others I've picked up "plates" for, say their Mac-n-cheese is excellent!! After choosing your meat, you move along and choose (2) vegetables and your choice of their cornbread or my favorite, the soft dinner rolls. The line is not long, it moves fast, I recommend you stand back and get an idea what you're going to order prior to entering the "4 minute line"! Yes, it moves that fast, as it's worked by 2 to 3 servers and one does your meat, one is going to do your vegetables, and if there's a third worker, they'll put a "liner" over your meal, bag it up and put your plastic ware inside it. If 2 workers only, the second worker takes over all final packaging duties. The cashier rings you up, and you're out the door! If a drink is desired, they are self-served where once paid for, you'll receive your cup and head towards the back of the restaurant to get it yourself. They do have approximately 6 "small tables",known as 4-tops (seats 4 people) but these truly seat only 2 people comfortably!! NOW!! THE CONS: These reasons are why 4 stars were given, and not 5 stars:They can't seem to establish a "regular set of hours of operation" for their business!! THIS GETS FRUSTRATING and DETERS MY VISITING THERE, WHICH I REALLY DO MISS!! You plan on going there the next day, only to arrive and find out they're CLOSED!! Telephoning in advance does not "always help" as sometimes it'll roll over to voicemail, OR the voicemail is full!! Yet you arrive (just in case), and they're open!Also, they're "CONSTANTLY HIRING", so I'm led to believe it's in the management department that needs revising. Come on DO NOT let this restaurant go down! Your restaurant is to darn good!! SHAPE UP...This is just "my personal opinion" only...
