Best kept secret on MLK! Yes they are still open during the pandemic and pushing out fresh food all day. We walked in and was immediately greeted by her friendly staff. In the background played smooth jazz setting a cool calm environment. Everyone had masks on and hand sanitizer was present. After being seated by her pleasant staff we ordered water with lemon and sweet tea. That sweet tea (x2) of theirs gave me life 4real from the heat wave outside. We patiently waited for our food out of the scratch kitchen listening to smooth jazz and other soulful songs. Periodically the staff would check on us to see if we needed a refill. Oh when we received our heavenly meals! Oh what a time, oh what a time! It was so fresh and so delicious. I will definitely be going back again and again and again. We've ordered her cornbread, fried chicken 3x, fried snapper, macaroni and cheese, rice and gravy 4x and sweet potatoes 3x. My two favorite meals are the FRIED CHICKEN and HEAVENLY SWEET POTATOES! Y'all don't sleep on those sweet potatoes at Chef Carols! Her sweet potatoes are HEAVENLY! They remind me of my great grandmothers cooking. I'll be going back at least 4x...

We all had Mac n cheese, red beans, collard greens, yams, and all entrees are served with rice and gravy. While we waited on our food, Chef Carol came from the back to talk with us. She shared some of her story that lead her to the restaurant business. But what was most amazing was her personality. She talked to us as if we were family. She also explained that she makes EVERYTHING scratch, so it takes a little longer for food to arrive. We didn't have a problem with that at all. Food was very well seasoned and very tasty. Everything that we ordered. Her employees were courteous and managed our...

This woman almost made me cry eating her food because I'm from the South (like DEEP South, like MISSISSIPPI South) and this food made me miss my momma/grandma/mother in law/aunties/daddy/uncles, nieces, cousins friends, etc. Her fried pork chop...🥰🥰🥰 I don't get to eat pork chops often because my husband tries not to eat pork...A-FREAKING-MAZING...ALL her sides were amazing. Kool-aid was ON POINT! My husband's seafood platter...BOMB!!! And for those that think it's overpriced, coming from a HUGE penny pincher, I'll be honest, I thought so too until the plates came out with huge portions of meat and the food went in my mouth. The love and tenderness that this was made with is priceless, YOU HEAR ME??? Go on down there and get you some of WHATEVR she done decided in her spirit to bless you with cuz I'm DEFINITELY gonna go back to be blessed! She even came out and talked to us several times and saw us out before we left. Phenomenal woman, Phenomenal place, Phenomenal...
