Had the pot roast with mac n cheese, and collard greens. Phenomenal!!!! Portions are huge. Pot roast is very well seasoned tender and juicy, mac n cheese is creamy and the spice on top gives it a boost of added flavor. Collard greens are magnificent, perfectly seasoned, not overly salty like other places. All the flavors are spot on!!!! Can't wait to try the next item on the menu!

This was delicious! This was my first time ordering. I got the meatloaf with collards and Mac and cheese. I was CRAVING comfort food and this hit the spot! I’m not a fan of meatloaf, but I saw that this was the top item to get so I ordered it. This place has me loving meatloaf now! It was flavorful and juicy, not dry at all! The collards were tasty and the Mac and cheese was flavorful as well. I am stuffed! I also ordered the apple caramel dessert, which I will be eating later. It looks so good though. I’ll definitely order again.

We are here from out of town to go to Moffitt. We ordered two meatloaf dinners with different sides. I got the sweet yams and green beans. My husband got mashed potatoes and baked Mac and cheese. First let me say they give you so much food. Second, YUM YUM and YUM! This food is so good. I have not had an appetite in weeks and I tasted this and it took me home to my grandmas kitchen. So good! We will definitely be getting this place again!

Absolutely delicious food and great customer service. My food was ready in less than 15mins and it was hot and fresh. Also if you’re looking to support a black owned business that gives quality food then this is it :)

OMG soooooo good!!! I have had a lot of soul food in my days but this is hands down the BEST. She is extremely nice and those collard greens yummmmmy!!!! We had crab stuffed salmon with Mac n cheese and mashed potatoes, jerk chicken pasta, and collard greens. All of it was amazing and I can be a picky eater. I want her to cook for me everyday!!!

Absolutely delicious!! It’s hard to impress me when it comes to soul food. I’m from Georgia and since I’ve been here in Tampa a lot of the soul food spots don’t do it for me. They’re usually very bland, or just not good but not fork it up 813. This is the first soul food restaurant here that I actually really enjoyed. Everything is well seasoned and flavorful! I got the fried chicken, Mac and cheese, yams, collard greens and strawberry banana pudding. All of it was Delicious!! 10s across the board! Will definitely be eating here again.
