Stella J's Soul Food

We went for a late lunch/early dinner after lunch on Easter.

First of all, in many ways it's a typical soul food joint, meaning it's no frills compared to a chain restaurant or someplace upscale. If that deters you, you wont like too many soul food joints.

We ordered a lot of different food for our table to try. The best thing by far was the smothered pork chops. The flavor was great, and they were tender. Second best thing was probably the fried catfish. The dressing with gravy was also amazing.

The fried chicken was well cooked but I did not taste any seasoning which was disappointing. Same for the candied yams. The mac and cheese was even blander, with nothing redeeming about it. My friend's turkey wing was still cold in the middle and he sent it back to get microwaved. The greens, black eyed peas, and pinto beans were all thoroughly seasoned, but oddly-- way too salty and or peppery with not enough other flavors.

As he was cleaning the table, one of the employees accidentally poured a bowl of greens on my tan suit (remember it was Easter after church). No one apologized or offered to comp our meal or pay for the cleaning, but I did hear our server mocking me as I ran to the bathroom to clean up.

Not sure if we'll be back.

Good food go early for fresh options. Prices are ok for quality. Nice option if your looking for something out of the ordinary fast food. Homestyle cooking is always a better alternative. Desserts are excellent and yams are really delicious. Chicken is really great pancakes are excellent.

Of Course I Enjoy My Soul Food Cooking the Best, But When You're just not feeling it, You do What you have to do! The food was hot. Everything was to my liking. Service was Nice. I like the establishment. The parking is horrible. They will outgrow them quickly. Atmosphere was perfect, relaxing, inviting and full of ???? I ordered catfish, fried chicken, greens, sweet potatoes, Mac n cheese and dressing. ALL FOR ME❗????????
