“ If you’re looking for soul food that feels like it came straight out of grandma’s kitchen, this is it. I ordered the turkey wings with mac & cheese and cabbage, and let me tell you—those turkey wings hitttttt. The portion sizes are generous (so much that I couldn’t even finish mine), which means I get to look forward to leftovers tomorrow. Definitely worth every penny. What made the experience even better was the staff. Kim, Bernice, and Nana treated us like family. We weren’t just customers, we were sitting, talking, and laughing as if we were at home in a southern-style kitchen. That kind of warmth and hospitality is rare, and it really made the meal special. Between the incredible food and the welcoming atmosphere, this spot is a gem. I’ll definitely be back! ”
“ We stopped in here to eat for dinner after seeing the excellent reviews and food pictures. This restaurant did not disappoint! We were greeted when we walked in by NaNa and Shakerea. They are friendly, funny and very outgoing. The dining areas are clean with modern decor. We didn't have to wait long for our food to be brought to the table. My husband and 2 children ordered different entrees and they were all delicious!! It was a lot of food. We couldn't finish it all. Unfortunately, for us, we couldn't take it with us because we were staying at a nearby hotel before a cruise. We are looking forward to our next visit, and Cornbread Farm to Soul will be on our first stops to visit!! ”

“ This is the best catfish I have had in a long time and some of the best I have ever had. The baked macaroni and cheese is made almost identical to how my family in South Carolina made it growing up same with the potato salad. On top of all that the cornbread is amazing, sweet and moist. I will definitely return! In addition to the wonderful, authentic food every one is very friendly. Wonderful service, clean restaurant, no issues at all!!! ”
