The food is phenomenal.  The people are lovely. Everything feels like an old family recipe.

Great service. Fast. Definitely delicious. Needed more salt in the greens and a tad bit more sugar in the sweet potatoes, but I’m from southern Indiana and we like sweet and salty.

Great service. They are doing a great job complying with covid regulations. Fried chicken was amazing, shrimp and grits needed a touch of salt but that is what hot sauce is for! Overall highly recommend supporting this great local business. Looking forward to when they can have live music.

Been looking forward to coming here since before the lockdown. We had a fantastic lunch. I had the shrimp po-boy, and my friend had the yardbird sandwich. We started with the fried green tomatoes, which were good, but my wife makes them at home so I'm a bit spoiled. Also, please don't serve them with ranch. I can give you a great rec ... read more

DELICIOUS! We ordered off of GrubHub, got catfish, which came with mac and cheese and candied yams, a vegan oyster mushroom po boy sandwich, and extra fries. We live across town from Neil Street blues about 5 miles and our food was delivered hot. The cat fish was meaty and succulent, crispy on the outside with a mild seasoned breadin ... read more

Great addition to downtown Champaign. Love the food, love the vibe. Service is great.

All the sides I've tried have been good. Jambalaya dinner portion is huge and t ... read more

Chef Curtis is a master, and this was our first time back in the area since he launched his new restaurant. We expected top-notch soul food and our every expectation was met and exceeded! Great atmosphere, congenial service, and delectable food. We will definitely return!

This is a place where you love to hate or hate to love if that makes sense.  We've been several times because the food that we've ordered has been really good.  The hate part is the service and the bartending.  There always seems to be plenty of people meandering around, but no one actually helps you.   We wait for someone to finally ... read more

Our server, Jalisa, was so friendly and fast! Our first time visiting and we were very pleased. The shrimp and grits were amazing. My hubby and son both ordered the ribs, I sampled both~sweet and spicy. The meat just fell off the bone and both sauces were good. The atmosphere was comfortable, with downtown street views on both sides.
