“ Found a tasteful soul food spot in Fort Worth. We actually called in the order before hand based on the previous reviews and was told it would take 15-20 mins, which it was ready on time. We order the catfish meal and oxtails. Every bite was new! Would definitely recommend! ”
“ 10/10! Literally the best food I've had since being in Dallas for over 2 years! My whole family loved their meals. & our desserts were delicious! I will drive this hour weekly! SO GOOD! ”
“ Other than the place looking a lil sketchy and the service not being the best, I have no complaints because the food was good. I was in the DFW area for a visit and wanted some whole catfish. I just knew that I wasn't going to fix this craving, but I did. There is no where to eat the food on site so I just ordered and picked it up. When placing the order, the young lady was dry and matter of fact, as if she knew I was going to get the catfish whether the service was good or not.....and I did. Upon arrival, the service was still very dry and the young lady was on her phone the entire time. My food wasn't ready when I arrived, even though I came from Euless. But that was ok because the fish was piping hot. I will say that it was probably around 3pm when I ordered and they were out of most of the sides. With a warm welcoming and better service, they would definitely get 5 stars. ”
“ I have seen several recommendations for this restaurant but a visit requires a planned trip as it is so far away. Finally today I was able to visit and my impression is very mixed. The dishes that are good are good but the ones that aren't make you say "what the hell" out loud. You will order inside and wait in your car for it to be brought out. Plate 1: 1 smothered pork chop with cabbage and Mac and cheese. The pork chop was tender enough to cut with the plastic fork and knife. It is slightly under seasoned considering it is pork covered in gravy but can be corrected. It is served with too much gravy for the container provided so there was a lot of leakage that made the other plates messy. The cabbage is all the white pieces and no green but tender. The Mac and cheese should be considered a punishable offense - pale watery unseasoned. It leaked out of the container the same way the gravy from the pork chop did. Plate 2: 1 fried pork chop with greens and Mac and cheese. This pork chop was better seasoned. Greens appeared to be from a can but they did add additional season. Mac and cheese see above. Plate 3: lemon pepper wings (no fries). Best dish. It appears that these are full size wings that have been cut down so they are a good size. They were well seasoned and had the right amount of crunch. Dessert: lemon pound cake. I was worried thinking that the cake would be old but it was very moist and had the right amount of sweetness. I was tempted to get another piece. ”
“ Loved to support small businesses so we thought we would check out Nana's Kitchen. It was great! Hubby had the whole catfish with greens and green beans. I had the fried shrimp with Mac and cheese and greens. We also got 3 wings to try. Let me tell you that those greens are so good! They are full of garlic and have a kick! We are so many of them that we didn't get to the green beans. Hubby loved the catfish and I liked the shrimp too. The catfish was hot and fresh and seasoned well. The corn nuggets were really good too. Hubby liked the Mac and cheese and I believe it complimented the greens well. The wings were ok, but the catfish and greens were the hit of the meal. Overall, you have to try them if you are near. ”
“ Grub hub- so this post is purely on the food I believe if you go to the store front there are daily specials according to IG! Rosemary chicken- cooked to perfection! I prefer only dark meat and there was two pieces of thighs/legs! Mac- cheesy, yummy goodness just how I like it Mash- I just got over a stomach bug so not sure it was overly salty or just my taste buds are off Cornbread- needed some butter. A little dry for my liking Overall everything was seasoned well and I'm just glad it's close to home! Can't wait to try other dishes! ”
“ Food was great and customer service was great as well. You either call ahead or order inside when you get there. Food takes so out 15-20min to be ready. You wait in your car & they'll bring it out to you. You get 2 sides with every entree. I got the 2 piece fried fish with mashed potatoes (you can choose white gravy or brown) and green beans, comes with cornbread and 2 sauces. the total came out to be around $21. The young lady who took my order was soo sweet & kind. The food tasted AMAZING. The fish was so well seasoned that I didn't need any of the sauces. Crispy and hot. Mashed potatoes were buttery. Green beans were just your basic green beans. I barely finished the entire box, it was a lot of food. ”
