Pay per weight buffet of a variety of awesome dishes. The food and the entire place feels authentic AF ❤️ Paid about $20 for a very solid plate of food inclusive of a Pepsi. Definitely coming back next time am in town.

Good soul food restaurant in South Minneapolis. They price your plate by the pound, which is a little unusual, but as long as they’re keeping the food real, who cares? Enjoyed the meatloaf, yams, Mac & cheese, and green beans!

Jane D.

This place was it. Something I was really looking forward to. Drove from California looking for a good soul food place and Mama Sheila was here for the save. Food was amazing price, absolutely worth the hype. It was really worth it.
