First time at Cornbread and it was absolutely amazing. I heard the food was good and expected it to be but it was more the good. In the words of my 4yr old “it was delicioso”. Truly exceeded my expectations. The Catfish was so flavorful but flavor is nothing if not cooked right. When I say this fish was cooked right, I mean to perfect. It had a crispy and golden outside and a beautiful flaky inside. Just thinking about it now makes my mouth water. My family is picky about Mac & cheese and this passed the test. Can truly say one of our favorites. I personally love love love yams. They were so delectable.! So Smooth and the level of sweetness was just right. Even the drinks were winners for my family and we tried several flavors. Portions are good. Left feeling content and very pleased. The highlight of the experience was Yasin. He was extremely attentive and checked on us to make sure we were good and needed nothing. My only complaint is he would not share the yam recipe with me (just kidding). Absolutely enjoyed, highly recommend and will for sure be back. Thank you, Cornbread, for such a great experience!

Whoa, I discovered this place yesterday and am in love. I had the 2-piece chicken lunch special and it was excellent. Fresh hot juicy chicken (breast and drumstick) with a side of collards and fresh cornbread. Whoa, whoa, whoa! It was very quiet for the 5 minutes I was eating. The cobbler looked excellent. Will be back for that! I asked about a family meal and they said they do have a catering menu and could do a half tray of chicken and some sides / cornbread, no problem. Will be back for that! The collard greens were some of the best I have had (Georgia boy - it was the real thing!) and the cornbread was spectacular. The location is new, small and bright with about 10 booths for seating. I sat in the window and it was highly enjoyable. Not crowded at lunch on a Monday. Several folks came in for takeout and only one other table was there when I arrived. Very, very good. Drink selection was limited and could be better. Planning to return for another lunch and that family meal soon!

Walked in and I was immediately greeted by the manager Dwayne. What a cool guy! It was our first time. We knew we wanted fried chicken but we were unsure on the sides. We asked for his recommendation and he said “collard greens and Mac and cheese.” So, we ordered the four piece all dark meat with collard greens and Mac. Very quickly after ordering Dwayne personally delivered our order in two plates! We forgot to ask for the food to be divided for both of us but he did it anyway! He also added two cornbreads on the house. Everything on the plate was delicious. I went for the chicken and it was perfectly seasoned, great crunch, and juicy center. The collard greens had so much depth of flavor. They were tender and delicious. Mac and cheese was gooey and yummy. The cornbreads were crumbly and perfectly baked. We spent less than $25 for two and walked out satisfied. What a steal. Highly recommend. Great vibe, great management and staff, and great food. Best fried chicken!

I had a craving for some soul food, and Cornbread answered the call. I ordered a three-piece combo with cornbread and two sides, baked mac & cheese and collard greens. The one big thigh piece of fried chicken was a little wet underneath, if I absolutely had to nitpick, but other than that, the food both looked and tasted great with sizeable portions The lemonade was made with no syrup, which I was happy to find out. Unfortunately, my eyes were bigger than my stomach this time, and I couldn't order a peach cobbler for dessert like I intended. Next time lol. The staff was also pleasant to be around. I overhead one of the gentlemen working there interact with a couple of customers, all seemed to be curteous and genuine interactions, even offering samples and menu insights. He also helped rectify an order mixup from a night prior with no fuss whatsoever. I was happy to be a customer during my short stop there.

I don't think it was worth $60. But the service was excellent. So welcoming and courteous. Really great. Some of the prices went up slightly from the online menu. The fried chicken pieces we got were very small and not good. The baked chicken was great. The collard greens, potato salad, yams were great too. Still good, but Not a huge fan of the Mac n cheese, felt not enough cheese flavor and too much butter flavor. Cornbread was tasty. Ribs, were cooked / prepared well, but wasn't a fan of the sauce. Didn't like the Peach Cobbler. Loved that the food didn't taste salty, but well seasoned. We paid over $60 for the food. 2 meals, 2 drinks, dessert. I understand everybody charges what they charge, but I felt 4 ribs pieces with 2 sides for $24, is pricy. $5 for the cobbler, for the size...a little small. The sides are $4 if you add them as extra side... the portions are small for the price.

The prices they charge don’t match their menus. If you question it, they will tell you that their prices have changed but some items’ prices are not accurately reflected anywhere in the restaurant. It’s not the customers fault that you failed to update the prices on your menus. Not sure if I came on a bad day, but my party was not greeted when we entered. We stood and waited for 5-7 minutes and still no one said anything to us… it wasn’t until we called someone over to take our order when we were acknowledged and told to wait just a second. Now on to the food.. the Mac and cheese was not good, the sweet tea wasn’t sweet and I had to take it back and get the lemonade which was much better. I will give props on the cornbread and catfish. Those were really good. Overall, wasn’t too pleased with my experience.
