"I would order it again and the taste was phenomenal my palette was in disbelief because I just wanted to try it and I was blown away. The portion was decent and the food is fresh and the corn beard was so juicy and not dry. I would give the restaurant a 9/10"
"The southern fried Southern Fried Chicken was just OK. You get one side for the price of the chicken inside, but I wanted to sample several other sides so I had the collard greens, mac and cheese & candied yams. Plus Peach Cobbler. The greens were too salty and no other flavor to them.  The macaroni and cheese was bland and reminded me of two steps above a Velveeta macaroni and cheese..  the yams were really good and just out of a swest with maybe cinnamon & brown sugar. Peach Cobbler was really tasty. Buttery crust. All of this food is over priced to be basic. The portions were HUGE; but who cares if it doesn't taste great. I just want soul food to be AMAZING. This place is about vibes & fleecing its clientele."

The brisket sandwich is well-seasoned and tender, and the shrimp and grits are absolute perfection (the grits alone are heaven on earth, very buttery and rich).

"the Fish Sandwich is good quality and well prepared. There was a bogo special making the price more palatable as I feel $18.99 is alot for a sandwch without any sides. The Box Fries provided a good portion though everything was barely lukewarm due to the driver making multiple stops. express delivery wasn't available. overall fair experience but wouldn't pay full price."

"This tastes exactly like how I remember it from my childhood. The fish is exceptionally crispy which is exactly what I was looking for and I find the value to be very good for the amount that I received. I would definitely order this 8 Piece Family Meal again!"
"I ordered long distance but the store went by my instructions on double wrapping/insulating their wonderful food. Arrived as warm as is physically possible, crispy, succulent. Don't let those "English" "pubs" in Chicago ruin your fish & chips with their dry fish batter and their quote/unquote Proper chips. 1/2 of my family are English/British, so I know a bit about this meal. LJS, counterintuitive perhaps, really is a better "Chippie" than anything else in greater Chitown, at least measured by my experiences. The waffle fries (chips) when they're hot) are good but more not a dealbreaker for the splendidly battered Fish, Chicken & Shrimp Platter. Good coleslaw & hush puppies round it out nicely. As the adage goes: "Appearences can sometimes be deceiving.""

"My first time ordering from them and I do like how the food comes packaged with care and you can't beat their price for a whole dinner with rice&beans and two sides. Although I feel like I only had two pieces of chicken that were actually fresh and juicy that I was able to enjoy but the rest were dry and hard to chew like they've been sitting out and also the flavor of the chicken wasn't really there even with the fresh pieces, I didn't taste as much flavor as I should. It came with one small condiment container of sauce now even though I honestly didn't use the sauce because it was too spicy for me but anyone would probably need 2 containers as it would make more sense with so much chicken. That container of sauce is pretty much enough for a leg quarter or one breast. Now the yams were good, but the color of them was the red maroonish and it sort of threw me off so even though they were good, I wasn't really having on eating them. Whole Dark Dinner 2 pieces were juicy yummy and fresh the other two were dry and old.  I'll probably eat from there again, but I wouldn't order delivery. I'd go there in person and make sure they gave me the fresh pieces and I would also ask them why their yams are like a maroon color."
