Description
Behind its unassuming exterior, this kitchen prepares dishes that feel cooked from family recipes, though visitors report a mix of experiences. The menu is best suited for a grab-and-go meal. While some praise the flavorful mac and cheese, greens, and sweet yams, others note varying seasoning and portion sizes, citing dry oxtail or small fish plates. Desserts are a highlight, though app-based delivery orders have been known to arrive with unannounced substitutions, like banana pudding instead of carrot cake.
