Word on the street
What locals are saying
Mr. Brooks runs a tight takeout operation on America Street where the fried chicken wings, meatloaf, red rice, and mac and cheese hit with the kind of portion size that turns one plate into three meals. The owner's personal warmth is a genuine differentiator — regulars describe the experience as closer to a relative's kitchen than a restaurant counter. Delivery orders are a different story: quality complaints cluster around stale meat and cold sides, suggesting the place is best eaten on-premises or close to it.
