Reviews Taste Budz

Homestyle type cooking. Good food and nice atmosphere.

It was a great spot to stop for a quick bite and the food was delicious. It was a little bit on the pricier side but well worth it to get a black owned home-cooked dining experience

When I say food, it touches my heart and reminds me of home! This is a personal experience, the food is really good. Good man

Talk about a "hole in the wall" - they have a walk-up window with a covered front area. No menu posted. Just three people in a closet-sized area (with what looks like a store room behind and probably a kitchen beside it, but you can't see them well) serving food from a bar behind the window and a register beside it. A meat and two veggies, with a corn muffin came to $9.86 with tax - but don't let that dissuade you - keep reading. The food is amazing. I got mine to go, in a sectioned foam container. There was a pile of each of the sides (each section was filled and overflowing slighty), a half a chicken, smoked and smothered in a BBQ sauce with a decent kick to it (starts sweet, then the kick hits you, then the wood smoke). I thought I didn't like green beans with potatoes, but I just never had them fixed right - these are great. And the baked beans are actually BBQ beans, not so sweet, and with meat and great flavor. They also had a mixed veggie dish (squash, etc) and macaroni and cheese. And they also had ribs, at the same price as chicken. They do have a covered seating area with music, but it was an afterthought - decent, but not fancy. Some street parking, no parking lot - but this is a downtown area, so that's normal. I walked from work, a few blocks away. If you eat there, they give you a regular plate rather than foam. And I understand from others that they aren't always open. But it is worth stopping by if you're in the area. This is a perfect example of how hole-in-the-wall places get a reputation for great food.
