Southern Soul — Restaurant in Denmark

I would like to start off by staying, I loved the restaurants atmosphere because as soon as I walked in, I was greeted and treated just like family. This is not a review to tear down this business but to give my honest opinion. I ordered baked chicken, rice and greens. My companion ordered oxtails rice , green bean and macaroni. The plates were full.

The baked chicken was not indeed baked, it was more of a smoked or grilled flavor. The inside of the thigh was pink and rubbery. The rice appeared to be minute rice from out of a box & the greens tasted as they had been cooked days before and reheated over and over. The oxtails were more bone and fat than meat. & the macaroni was hard as a rock.

I feel as though, this shouldn’t have happened. Please take more time to increase the quality of the food. I will not be back at this establishment but I felt it was my duty to write an accurate review because I read all of the current reviews and this is what caused me to dine here. Denmark is a very small town with not many food options. so, I can see why lots of people here seem to be satisfied with their meal, but from someone who cooks soul food & have been to plenty of other soul food spots in other states, this just was not it. ...

Tucked away on a quiet corner lot, this spot is truly a gem off the beaten path. The atmosphere is calm and cozy, with a smaller dining room that carries a real down-home feel. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the food hit the spot.

I ordered the fried pork chops with plantains, cabbage, and potato salad—each bite was flavorful and comforting. I had my heart set on trying the macaroni and cheese, but they were out (a sign it must be popular and worth the return trip).

The sweet tea deserves its own spotlight—strong, brewed just right, and country sweet. Honestly, it gave me that nostalgic feeling like they should have some fresh, cold Kool-Aid in the back, too, but the tea definitely held its own.

Parking is decent thanks to the corner location, and while it may be a bit out of the way, it’s absolutely worth the detour. If it’s your first visit, enjoy. If you've tried this place before, it's time to head back! This place is a solid recommendation. Don’t...

Over the weekend I had the opportunity to eat some of this restaurants deliciousness. On Friday for lunch, I had a shrimp basket with cole slaw and fries. It was so good I didn't need ketchup or cocktail sauce. I also had a rib dinner for dinner that same day. Lawd have mercy the meat was so tender you could cut it with a plastic fork! The bbq sauce was ever so tasty...truly finger lickin good 😊 the sides were just as good. Sides I had were green beans, baked beans, rice pilaf and yellow rice. When I'm in the area I will definitely be back! Appreciate the...
