The food here is fantastic!!! Everything was absolutely delicious! So many times catfish sandwiches can be bland, but this was one of the best catfish sandwiches I’ve ever had—packed with flavor! My husband really enjoyed the unique wing flavors, and the guys who work with us loved the jerk chicken. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and made with care. We’ll definitely be back!
Stars for the smoked, tender oxtails. Everything else was a no 🙅♀️. Im so sad because I really wanted to like this place, but other than the oxtails, the food was soo bad. Tough brisket, overfried okra, plain mac n cheese and I got a 6 piece lemon pepper wing that I hoped would've made up for that brisket but no.
Solidly middle of the road experience. Looks like the obvious reason to come here is the wings, nothing else seems consistently good. Sadly I didn’t get the wings, but got the fried chicken sandwich instead. I’m on a mission to find a good fried chicken sandwich in town from a place that brines their chicken before frying. Genna’s sandwich had very similar vibes to a Popeye’s sandwich but wasn’t particularly good, although it seems like it has potential to sometimes be good. The bun, mayo and pickles were promising but the chicken itself was dry and tough like it had been sitting under a heat lamp for a while. Breading had an unusually dry and almost sandy texture like it had a lot of cornstarch in it or something. All in all, might come back one or two more times to try it and see if they’re consistent but first visit wasn’t what I was hoping for.
Just take the okra off the menu. Please. The breading is way too thick and they taste like they’ve been in the freezer since last year. The wings were good (good size, cooked with a perfect crisp) but the lemon pepper didn’t have much lemon flavor. The pics don’t show the CRAZY amount of grease that were seeped into the wings. So much grease that it squirts out when you take a bite. Bring an apron or bib if that’s not a deal breaker for you.
