Must stop if you are in the city.

Not bad but not really good either. Better skip the steak here, add a couple of bugs and go to Wolfgang's.

Order by the actual name of the food if you don't want to look like a tourist.
ZakiyahFebruary 4, 2012
Usually a bit of a wait. Avoid Sunday's unless you like tourists and slow service. The food isn't the best soul food in the city.

I had the fried catfish sandwich. $15 for two skinny pieces of (tasty) catfish on a bun with wilted lettuce and a slimy tomato. Not at all impressed.
