5.0 of 5 stars. I wanted to rate it a 1 star so others would stay away from the BEST soul food joint in WA, but that would not nearly do them justice. You better be hungry when you go! The portions are incrediable,…

Friendly casual soul food w/ some great catfish

Always on the search for good soul food, I was led to this small place. I hoped to try the tasty gumbo they serve from their booths at events like Bumbershoot, but it's not on the dine-in menu. I sampled the...

Not the greatest

The food was okay. I had the short ribs and hubby had the catfish, but it didn't seem like the soul food we had back home in the ATL. We might try it again, but as far as I'm concerned the search continues.
