I’m surprised this place doesn’t have a higher rating. When I walked in, I immediately noticed how spacious and clean it was. The staff greeted me warmly and made me feel welcome right away. They shared a bit about their history and explained the menu. Since it was my first visit, they recommended the lemon pepper wings, mac and cheese, collard greens, green beans, and fried catfish. Everything was perfectly seasoned without being overly salty, which I appreciated. My favorite dish was the catfish paired with their homemade tartar sauce. Everything was excellent, and to top it off, they serve banana pudding made fresh daily. This has quickly become one of my favorite southern restaurants.
The food was terrible. I saw the cooks wiping their faces with the same gloves they used to serve the food. They sell items that aren’t even on the menu, and they serve day-old chicken that should have been thrown away. When I got home and tasted my meal, I called to complain and suggested they hire new chefs. I’m seriously considering reporting them to health inspectors. The restaurant is a complete mess. I had to eat a pickle just to settle the acid buildup in my stomach.
I enjoyed the best Angus burger I've ever had at R J Southern Home Cooking. Any criticism of this place is unfounded and likely from naysayers. The breakfast was excellent, and our waitress was exceptionally friendly. The dining area was spotless, creating a pleasant atmosphere. It’s a family-friendly restaurant with a warm neighborhood vibe and cheerful staff. On top of that, parking was hassle-free!
I ordered from R J Southern Home Cooking via DoorDash and was very disappointed. The food lacked seasoning; the fish was overcooked with the breading coming off. The oxtails were extremely tough, and the greens were completely bland. I suggest trying Soul Food Shack instead, where the food is consistently great! My rating: 1/5.

I ordered Brisket and Cornish Hen. Let me tell you, these people cannot cook anything. Both orders are in the garbage and I paid $62.00 for my lesson. They should not be in the business. Most of the eateries in my local are lousy. Nobody knows how to season food. All they do is use heat to cook it with absolutely NO flavor.

I was quite disappointed with my visit to R J Southern Home Cooking. I ordered oxtails, cabbage, and mac and cheese, but all the dishes lacked flavor. The oxtails were tough, and the cabbage seemed like it wasn’t fresh. Overall, it was a very unsatisfactory experience.
Good Good Good soul food. The service was exceptional. The food quality great and mighty good portions. Restaurant atmosphere was welcoming and home-like, as if you were at a cookout or casual sunday brunch. Besides that, no complaints...Will def be returning.

The bar-b-q brisket sandwich at R J Southern Home Cooking is outstanding, and the seasoning on their french fries is both distinctive and delicious. I truly enjoyed everything from their menu. Thank you! Food: 5/5
I love that this place offers boudin and a lot of Southern dishes. I love the fried turkey chops and the oxtails are decent. One of my go to places for soulfood
