Our Guestbook
“ I've gone to this place a few times and have never been disappointed. There's nothing like a good fried pork chop hot out the skillet with a few shakes of hot sauce between 2 slices of white bread. This is the place to go for some made to order Soulfood. ”
“ My meal hit the spot. The pork chops were huge, the collard greens (could have been seasoned a little more) and mac and cheese were really good. The corn bread was absolutely incredible (it reminded me of my mother and grandmother's corn bread). They fry their pork chops hard, which is my preference. If you prefer your pork chop to not be fried hard, you may want to ask. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, you are unable to dine in. All orders are to go. ”
“ This has been the best soul food I've tasted since I move to hoover. I ordered the oxtails, Mac N cheese, cabbage and pintos and necklines. The oxtails was way to fatty and my mac n cheese wasn't the one in the photo. My pintos and neckbones was very decent. The corn bread didn't cut it for me nor the cabbage frfr but all and ill be back! ”
“ Amazing experience.....owner was very courteous and took great care of me! The food was absolutely fantastic and I will definitely be a regular customer... ”
“ I don't give 5 stars often. But when I do, there are 4 basic requirements that a restaurant has to possess in order to earn MY 5 stars: a.) great food b.) top notch service c.) affordable prices and d.) clean dining area. Destiny on the One passed the test. After church, my mom and I decided to try this place out. Since we attend church in the area, it wasn't a far drive. As we arrived, we saw a few cars parked but not a crowded parking lot, which was just fine for us. As my mom found her a seat, I approached the cashier when it was my turn to order. I explained that it was our first time eating there, and I asked if the entire menu was available. The friendly lady who took my order said yes and waved to mom after asking where she was sitting. She said she wanted to make sure my mom was properly "welcomed" as a first time guest. Major brownie points here. I ordered the fried pork chop with dressing and Mac and cheese. I ordered mom the baked chicken with collard greens and dressing. A lemonade and peach tea rounded our order off. After walking to another window to pay for our food, I sat down with my mom. We did not have to wait long for our food to come out. We got it in to-go boxes just in case we didn't finish it all. To summarize it: both of us throughly enjoyed every last crumb of deliciousness that we had on our plates. So much that we didn't even need the to-go boxes. Everything was seasoned just like someone's Grandma was back in that kitchen. Even my mom, who can be hard to please when it comes to soul food, was happy with her plate. We are already planning on making this our weekly eating spot after church. It's just that good. At less than $20 for two plates with two drinks, the price was very affordable. The workers were super friendly and made sure that we were pleased with our food and our service. This review will serve as the answer to that. I kinda want to be selfish and keep this place hush-hush so it won't get too crowded, but I can't be like that. I want them to do well because...they deserve to. The food is awesome, the service is awesome and the prices are awesome. And to me, that deserves my 5 stars. Awesome! ”
