Customer Reviews

"The building is a little outdated but a lot of their food is flavorful with huge portions! So I'm a forever customer. Especially being in District Heights and you're not walking through beggars or "youngins" hanging outside of the store. Today I had the 3 piece smothered pork-chop dinner w/ greens and yams ($21.99). This was my first time trying the smothered pork-chops, they were "ok", sauced with gravy on the outside but a little dry (to my liking) on the inside. Greens were good, I always add extra vinegar and hot sauce. Yams are tasty. I ate everything, so it wasn't bad at all. Peach cobbler was delicious (large $8.99)"

"The fried chicken wings does not have batter on them. They wasn't fully cooked, just nasty! The macaroni was 5/10 Just noodles and cheese. But the Yams 10/10 love them"
