Amazing food and customer service. I've been here several times and it's always one point. The music is very entertaining and the people are as well.

I am very impressed with the progress this establishment has made over the years. They are in a new location and it is amazing. The food is still amazing the service is friendly, the drinks are strong and the music is always hitting. Absolutely everything on the menu is delicious even the desserts. At first entry the place looks like an adult lounge but we have dined in enough times with young kids and they have always had a great time. There is security here so leave your foolishness and pew pews at home. You will be wanded and dismissed. There is ample parking and the parking lot has plenty of cameras. You will not be disappointed with the food here. Happy Eating Yeeps!!!

I LOVVEEE soul food! This is my second time trying this place out and it's easily top 5 for soul food in Norfolk! It's black owned, playing a good selection of R&B music, staff is friendly and inviting. I would be cautious to go later at night on Friday/Saturday as it kinda has a more club vibe but THE FOOD DOES NOT MISS!! The drinks are strong and they have a really good happy hour menu/prices!

I have heard some amazing things about this spot, so since we made the journey back to Norfolk we had to pop in. We lucked up on their reverse happy hour from 6p-9p (Tuesday-Thursday), we got a margarita and Long Island for $6 a piece they were well made. Service was quick and everyone was polite! The vibe in here is everything I need in a soul food spot, great music and all. Now food, I got the fried catfish with mac and candied yams with a corn bread. Everything was good on my plate and I would order it again. So far this is the best soul food I've had in VA! The catfish was fried perfectly, mac was so cheesy with the 7 cheeses, and the candied yams were the perfect sweet touch! My husband got fried turkey leg with cabbage and mac, the turkey was good and fried with a good crunch. I would for sure recommend this spot and that's saying a lot for a VA spot.

I ordered my meal via doordash and loved that the bag was taped together to prevent tampering. Let's get into the deliciousness. I order the jumbo lump crab cakes, Mac n cheese, and yams. The crabs cakes were full of crab meat but the light batter was a little salty. Still delicious. I also wished they were hot but I did doordash the meal. :-) The Mac was good and what I expected. The yams were great. The meal came with a roll and it was delicious. Had a caramel taste. It was the Perfect comfort meal. I will order again.

This was my second time visiting this spot. The first time was in August 2023. My husbae and I stopped in for a quick drink and lucked up on happy hour. The vibes then were chill and the vibes yesterday even better. You would think a midday spot would be kinda dull and super duper laid back. But even at 1pm it was lit. And when I say lit, the bartender Ty was on point and dining in at the bar was super convenient for us even though tables were available. I did notice about 20 people dining in and everyone appeared to be enjoying themselves. I even witnessed a few to go orders. Now when you see people dining in and folk getting orders to go, you know the food must be good. Upon walking in I noticed a sign advertising a few deals on food. And usually a place offering deals on a Saturday are slim to none. Well it appeared this sign was left outside by mistake, but Ty informed us, they would still honor it. Such a boss queen move! It was not our mistake, but they owned up to it - I love this! We received the cheeseburger tray which consisted of 2 sliders and fries. My husbae ate the burgers, we were supposed to share since we weren't hungry for real, but he ate them both :/ He said the burgers were juicy and tasty! I would never know until next time ... but I did eat the fries, and the fries were good! I had the Ty margarita minus the OJ and it was so good! I had two :) I love a fresh margarita and I explained to Ty how I like my marg and she delivered! My husbae had his normal cocktail, Crown Royal with Sprite. He had two also! We also started the afternoon with a shot and it was on from there! I love it here! I highly recommend you check out this spot if you are in the area. I believe you can check them out daily except on Mondays and Tuesdays. Oh and just to point out, the music playing over the speakers during both visits, I loved it was at a level in which you could hold a conversation without yelling over top of the music! The music was mostly 90s RnB and I love this era! In case you were thinking :) Great vibes here! I am looking forward to trying more food options in the near future! A Friday early night vs an early Saturday afternoon...different crowds, so I will assume different days/times bring in different vibes/crowds. Therefore, keep this in mind when you visit. IMO I wouldn't bring the family on a Friday night. Perhaps an early Saturday afternoon or during the week early as possible. I suggest you reserve the after 5pm evenings for 21+. Nevertheless, plenty of parking as it's located in a shopping area... you can walk your food off while shopping a little. Have fun and enjoy life ;)
