Great customer service, the food had great flavor. Decent portions for your money. The corn bread is touched with honey I think. I had the Gumbo greens, mac & cheese, dressing, loaded pork chop and corn bread..... Simply Shae is Simply DELICIOUS 😋 😍

Very small location, cashier was very nice but food did not taste good. We ordered 3 dinners, wings, stuffed catfish and chicken Alfredo. The grease that they fry the wings in is burned, too much cinnamon or nutmeg on the yams, the chicken in Alfredo was dry, almost like it was cooked a while ago and reheated in microwaved. Glad I tried but wouldn’t recommend

Honestly, if I could give 0 stars, I would. I truly don't know if this was just a REALLY BAD NIGHT or is this what they usually have to offer. I paid almost $50 for 2 shrimp dinners. One was fried and one was grilled. 1st off the pictures of the shrimp are very misleading. This tiny shrimp barely covered the bottom of the tray. The shrimp were so tough and rubbery...the grilled were SALTY & tough! Mac & Cheese tasted of I wanna say, LAWRYS seasoning salt! Very high taste. All of the food was barely warm. Mashed Potatoes didn't look appetizing at all. Tasted them and just cold. Greens were alright, just cold. The corned bread slices were so inconsistent. I will include pictures. I ordered at 7:00pm I saw that they closed at 8. My pickup time was 7:31. No way all of that food should have been cold. Honestly tonight was a terrible night. First and last time.

The food wasn’t bad it was seasoned pretty good but the portions were small and the fish was fried too hard . Cornbread was yummy !! Dressing n Mac was delicious..$17 🙄

This place is horrifying, if they receive any good reviews it’s from the family or in house. I took a chance and order food today and everything was nasty. I didn’t eat none of it. The fish taste old. The cheeseburger egg rolls was burnt beyond edible. I was so mad that I gave them a chance. The Rasta Pasta was nasty bow tie pasta with a freezer burn tasting turkey leg. The baked beans were almost brown see thru with hard undercooked bell peppers I didn’t even try. I couldn’t eat none of it!! DO NOT BE FOOLED THIS PLACE IS NASTY AND A FOOL.

I ordered my food on Ubereats. I got the Jerk Chicken Alfredo which came with honey cornbread. I can honestly say I was disappointed.

I picked my order up right when it said it was ready, which was about 15 minutes after placing it. There was a line out the door so there’s no way to cut in front of anyone just to pick up your food.

The Alfredo didn’t have much flavor at all, and for me picking it up right away it wasn’t hot at all. This could’ve easily been made at home for the $19 I spent on it. I definitely expected something different.

While I wasn’t pleased with my food, the cornbread was pretty good.

The service was welcoming, the food was hot and seasoned to perfection. The Obama lemonade was a flavorful refreshment. Finger licking good

I ordered the stuffed turkey leg.. turkey leg was a little dry for my taste everything else was ok.. I’ll comeback.. I think they deserve a second chance..I ordered online and they said it would be ready in 25 minutes I gave them another 15 minutes and it still wasn’t ready.. again nobody’s perfect but let’s do better.. see you all soon
