My experience at the restaurant was horrible. I ordered the oxtails yams Mac n dressing a lemonade because they was out of everything else. For dessert banana pudding.

I’ll start by saying the oxtails were so fatty. They should have trimmed them. Mac cool dressing ok. Yams was waters down and nothing end the but sugar. I been banana pudding all my life from different ppl and this one had a in familiar taste not seasoning but taste i could put my finger on but it was definitely subpar. They had the nerve to serve me burnt mf corn bread. Smh. I paid about 40 for bs because I was wanting soul food. I will never eat at this establishment again. I would took pictures of the food but I decided to write this after I gave the food to the dog. But here is a pic of the cornbread. I was livid.

We looked for one of the higher rated soul food spots in the area and came across this place but the experience was overall disappointing. The waitress was friendly to some members of our party and condescending/rude to others asking questions and never refilled our drinks not even once. The food was cold and we asked to get it reheated and it still came out cold the second time. The greens were bitter and tasted as though they weren’t cleaned properly. The meatloaf was dry and lacking any proper seasoning. The yams were clearly straight out of the can and warmed. The cornbread muffins were good and the short ribs and oxtails would have been good if they weren’t cold. I cannot exaggerate how poor the entire experience was. Also I was under the impression this place was black owned, but the kitchen staff and cook were not which may account for the lack of “soul” in the food we had .

Not going to take up too much time. Atmosphere GREAT ONLY because of the Customers. It was ALL BAD! It's been at least a decade since I've been back to R&R Soul Food. Waitress was pleasant enough. However, execution of service lacked.

My friend and I ordered the Turkey Chops meal. Which by the way is my favorite. My TC really didn't look like chops. Very small cuts, Mac & cheese was too salty ? red beans & rice were OK. Just a lil too sweet, chops were seasoned alright. Corn bread was SUPER DRY.

Waitress messed up my friends order. No correction or accommodations. Friend sent back her chops.... Sorry don't have a pick. But trust me I say her size of chops looked worse than mines. Really was a bad scene and handling of customer service.

I see why it's been a decade for me. I only gave R&R another chance, due to the same friend bragging how good her chops were last week. Now May 10th 2024, food and service were horrible. Of course it was handled maturely on my friends part. But the owners and service were very disappointing. You know they charged my friend for that nasty meal. Hence, why I can NEVER return to R&R Soul Food. Greens were too salty too ? I did say I was gonna keep it short!? ? Anyhoo! No more, leave now! And I'll NEVA come back to R&R. I'll stick with M&M Soul Food

R&R has great soul food. We have not had a thing there that we do not like. We have been several times, I just kept forgetting to leave a review.

R&R is in a small strip mall and parking is easy. It is not as clean as I would like outside, but what can they do. The interior is very small, but there are a few places to sit if you want to eat there. We usually take it to go. They also have delivery.

The service is nice and fast. Your food comes out right and hot. It is all so very good.

We love their mac and cheese and cat fish. The fried chicken is amazing. All of it is tasty. They have ox tails which my husband loves. I don't care for any ox tails so I have never tried them. They have soda and really good desserts.

You will love this place. The prices are super reasonable and everyone there is nice. Have a great time. Oh, and the BBQ ribs--just so great.

The food is good. The portions are generous. I've not been disappointed yet with anything I have ordered. I haven't ordered everything yet, but I have ordered the meatloaf dinner, short ribs, smothered baked chicken, fried chicken, and oxtail. Their sides are good too. I usually get Mac N Cheese, mashed potatoes with gravy, and cornbread stuffing. 2 sides come with the dinners, and boy was that bag HEAVY! I will continue to go there when I have a craving for good soul food. The place doesn't look all that great, but I always get take-out. The quality and flavor of the food IS the most important reason that I go to an eatery, and R&R Soulfood covers that... and more!

My husband and I spent about two hours deciding on which soul food establishment to visit this past Sunday. There were not too many to choose from, due to the day and time. We googled some places and came across R&R!! This was the best choice I had made all day?. The food was hot and fresh, seasoned perfectly. The staff was friendly and very courteous. I would have posted a picture but I was too greedy and started eating as soon as I arrived home! If you are looking for a good soul food restaurant put R&R on your list. For reference I ordered the turkey wings and smothered chicken with greens, yams and macaroni and cheese with cornbread muffins. Enjoy ?

Waiter never came out the back to take my order. So I had to order at the counter. When I placed my order, they made it to go, but it was supposed to be for inside. Then the waiter , male, had an attitude when I tried to explain what he already knew, which was, he never came from the back, so I was forced to order at the counter. I've known this place for years, and that day service was at its worst.
