Southern Girls Take 2 Soul Food — Restaurant in Town of Hempstead

Came here for lunch while my van was getting serviced across the street. As a native of the south I’m real skeptical of restaurants above the Bible Belt claiming “soul food” status. This spot however tasted like a piece from home. If you zoom in close to the Mac and cheese you’ll see little morsels on them. That’s called seasoning. Too many restaurants up north don’t have it on their food. The string beans were good as well. My baked chicken was so delicious and I got 4 thighs where the meat was so flavorful and tender that it was slightly falling of the bone. I’m not gone lie, that cornbread taste like somebody grandma back there baking. Just saying. Last but not least they have kool aid. With the right amount of sugar in it too. Definitely the best “soul food” restaurant I’ve been to up north.

I usually patronize the restaurant in Queens. Unfortunately, the Queens location is closed because it is relocating and will not be open for a few weeks. I will say, you can tell the chefs are different. The Queens restaurant is consistent. The food is always good. I will never visit the Uniondale location again. I ordered fish and it was overcooked. Very hard and not appetizing, I could not eat it. The collard greens were not flavorful at all. The restaurant was empty, clean, and the cashier was very sweet. The restaurant is located in a strip of stores where police had roped off an area with yellow tape, apparently there was a homicide. There were lots of questionable characters hanging right outside of the restaurant. We didn't feel very safe. I will not visit...

So I just left here about a hour ago. Got a side order of whiting, 2 dinners which was a platter of Mac and cheese yams and BBQ chicken. Also the other dinner was collard greens and fried chicken(breast and a thigh). Collard greens had no salt, chicken wasn't fried to its full potential meaning soggy at the top, yams was extremely, sweet BBQ chicken was dry. The fish was good but so much grease was left in it. Mac was a runny cheesy. A bathroom run was needed immediately. Not pleased with this food. Not going back. Desserts up on the menu but they have not one of those desserts. Customer service sweet girl but she needs to be more approachable for customers who want to order. ...
