Tips

  Andrew Zimmern joined Sean Brock for a meal at his favorite place, this soul food restaurant. Andrew ate chitterlings and lima beans cooked with neck bones, pig tails, onions and sugar.

  Home to some of the best fried chicken in the south. Macaroni and cheese, collard greens, catfishyou name a true southern comfort food and Martha Lous will probably have it. [Eater 18 Member]

  The food was good. The ladies cooking and serving were really hustling.

  I had the fried chicken, mac n cheese, candied yams, and cornbread and I loved it! I've missed soul food and I definitely want to make a stop next time I'm in the area !

  Charming, but largely uneventful flavors. Fried chicken was pretty good. The rest tasted meh. Bad day?

  Best fried chicken! The cooks are so friendly; it is like going to someone's home for dinner.

  The cornbread is the best in Charleston, which is why its on our list of The Tastes That Make the City: Charleston.

  Giblet rice was authentic! I had the pork-less platters. It was good to eat southern cooking minus the pork. The pork options were not lacking for all the piggy fans! Proteins are cooked to order!

  If it sounds good, it is. Cash only (or checks). Tiny, friendly, familiar, no fuss.

  The people who work here are very nice but I wouldn't go out of my way to get here, you can get fried chicken as good as this at a dozen other Charleston places.

  Food was good; especially the cabbage. They do not take cash so be sure to have some on hand or be prepared to walk/drive to the Exxon station.
