OMG delicious food. My wife and I went for lunch. Had fried chicken, Ox tails & Mac & cheese. The best I have ever eaten. All the sides were also amazing. Food was hot and service amazing. All home made even drinks and owner came around to see we enjoyed. He’s so nice. The blueberry / peach cobbler was out of this world delicious. Try this place and be hungry and ready to eat. You’re treated like at grandmas house. A++.
Saw this place on Instagram. Figured we try it. Everything we ate was delicious. Mac and cheese amazing. My husband got the oxtail and said it was outstanding. Everything is homemade down to the lemonade and peach/mango tea. And the peach/blueberry cobbler and banana pudding to die for. Will definitely be going back. The owner is so nice and the staff as well.
Do yourself a favor and grab the best Southern meal in Central Jersey at this place!! The Southern Fried Chicken has a the crispiest and tastiest flavor ever. The meatloaf is sooo flavorful. Mashed sweet potato and cabbage are amazing. Staff is great and will make you feel at home. Their drinks are great too! They serve you cornbread once you sit down and they’re a game changer. Will definitely come back and try other things on the menu!
Good food, good music, fellowship with friends, and peaceful atmosphere!
Gumbo was delicious and filled with seafood. My friends had the plentiful smothered chicken. One had bread pudding for dessert. Filled and happy 😋😋😋! The owner graciously took a picture with us. Thanks!
If I could, I would give a 3.5 out of 5.0. The server/waitress gave off negative or unwelcoming energy. The attitude was a turn off.
As far as the food, I enjoyed the fried catfish dinner, as it is served hot and fresh. The sides I ordered, potato salad and collard greens, were not pleasing to my palate. The mustard and celery seed overwhelmed the potato salad. The collard greens have a smoked liquid flavor, would prefer a different seasoning. The cornbread muffin is a teaser. The watermelon and strawberry drink is sweet, somewhat refreshing. I took bread pudding home, and it has a lot of nutmeg, which I'm not a fan.
The portion size is more than adequate. There is a charge to use and credit card over cash. Visiting Belmar to go to the shore, maybe try it, but I don't plan on going back.
Outstanding food and service... We came here to celebrate my son's 22nd birthday. He loves Southern style food. He was in food heaven... Mr. Simmons greeted us at the door with a smile and open arms. " Welcome, anything you need, dietary needs or restrictions, just let me know. " At the time for birthday dessert, he even came over to wish him a happy birthday !! Thank you all again for a wonderful time....
First time here, the service wasn't so great. It is during COVID-19 and right now it's outdoor seating so I'm hoping that's part of the reason. The food was good. Their appetizers were amazing however the portions were small. Our entrees were pretty big in portion however the cost was a little high. For example, my shrimp and grits was $23 and only had 4 shrimp in it. It is B.Y.O.B and the owner was very nice seemed concerned about the experience. I just wish his staff was possibly more invested or concerned as he is.
I had the fried chicken platter…it comes w 4 pieces and two sides…I got the yams and greens as my sides. Everything tasted great!…the yams weren’t too mushy (which I personally like) and the greens tasted great! Sometimes I have to add hot sauce to greens…didn’t have to do that with these 👍. The chicken was top notch…the meat was juicy and full of flavor, and the crust was crunchy (even with the honey drizzle).
If you’re in Belmar, and looking for some Southern Food, this is the place!
