Put A Lid On It

Unfortunately, this restaurant is permanently closed.

This could have been really great for Upper Darby! The food here just isn’t good enough for the price. As I damn good home cook I was disappointed I paid for food from here when I could have made a better meal myself. I felt like it was eating from a job potluck. If you want soul food try Ol boys on 60^th street, this place is a waste of money and time, delivery is extremely slow.

Very unprofessional business tactics and poor customer service. I was reluctant to order from this business again as I previously waited at least 30 –45 minutes in the store since they don’t deliver. I decided to give them another opportunity to prove themselves.
A friend and I ordered from them using Grub Hub. We were told the meal would be ready between 7:10pm– 7:25pm. About 10 minutes before I went to pick up the food, GrubHub called my friend and said that the store cancelled the order and when they called to see why, they were hung up on…
I went to the store in person to see what occurred. When I asked why the order was cancelled they «claimed» they didn’t cancel the order or hang up on anyone.
I decided it was then best to politely excuse myself from their establishment as I have NEVER had this occur with Grub Hub before so I knew where the real issue was.
Needless to say, my friend and I settled for cheesesteaks that night from a respectable business that delivers promptly and offered exceptional service.

Incredibly HORRIBLE service! The service is inconsistant. Everytime i place an order for delivery they wait until the order is delivered to have the driver tell me that not only did they run out of whatever item i order but they took it upon themselves to substitute my order for something else! The last time i ordered we waited over 3 HOURS FOR DELIVERY. When i called to inquire after 2 hours they made up an excuses about their computer being down and the delivery guy not showing up. WHAT! NO ONE EVEN APOLOGIZED. Had i not called i doubt i would have ever received my order! The only reason i continued to patronize this horibble place is because my family liked it. But never again! This place deserves NO STARS!

I got the golden fish platter and was so disappointed. First the fish was so bland tasting I think they might have forgotten to season it or something. The potato salad wasn’t any better. The Mac n cheese was dry and just overall AWLFUL. My meal went straight in the trash what I waste of money. I guess that’s what I get for being lazy by not wanting to go to Philly. I suggest Just 2 Serve You on 56^th and Girard they have the best soul food and hefty portions. They also give you a moist piece of the best cornbread I ever had unlike this place which gave me a store bought dinner roll.

The owner is super friendly and accommodating. The food is delicious. I recommend the honey dipped wings and the sweet potato cheesecake. I also love the chicken and waffles. The only thing that makes this a 4 star review instead of 5 is the service can be slow, however my meals have been worth the wait.

For starters, I would have given 5 stars, but the platters came with corn bread and they don’t have any. Put a Lid on it satisfied my cravings for soul food. If it weren’t for my trusted GPS I would never have found the place. They serve delicious food, I am not kidding. They deserve to have their location in a more busier area. Because the public out there needs to know that this is the place to go for soul food. The chicken wings were finger licking good. It was great to get honey chicken wings and not just the regular chicken wings that other places serve. Their chicken wings remind me of the wings you can get at BonChon Chicken. They are large whole wings, coated with honey and deep fried to a golden crisp. The Turkey Meat Loaf is moist and flavorful. The pork spare ribs are good, but slightly dry on the edges. The Fried Fish is flaky and delicious as well. All the sides that we have gotten are all very good. From the potato salad to the candied yams, the mac and cheese, cabbage, collard greens, string beans and chicken rice. I saw a gentleman preparing the platters. And if he was the one that cooked all of these, I would have married him then. Please do check them out. Don’t let the outside of the building, one table seating and small counter fool you. Because what comes out of that kitchen is delicious food for the soul.

After finding out this place was only 5 minutes from me and reading reviews I was excited to try the food. I ordered the crab cakes, mac and cheese, and chicken and rice platter. Unfortunately all of my food was super salty, I couldn’t even finish it.
I don’t want to count this place out, the people were friendly so I will order something different and give an update.

I had the crab cake, collards, and the Mac and cheese. I was wanting this to be the best home cooking I have found in my travels. It was alright but I have had better crab cakes. I also felt that the sides lacked in flavor. The corn bread was good. Perhaps I just ordered the wrong thing. I will try them again and would try the chicken. The online ordering is number 1!

Hands down the best food I’ve had, period. Better than the old Big George’s that used to be the best on 53^rd and Spruce in Philly. Better than Corrine’s in Camden. Better than Kelsey’s in AC. The Crab Napoleon is the truth! Huge crab cake and turkey sausage and egg over easy combined with a special sauce is to die for! Actually, their crab cakes are the biggest and best I’ve had and FULL of jumbo lump crab meat. They easily best those at Legal Seafood which were my favorite before I tried these. They also have these honey dipped chicken wings that are AMAZING! The ribs here are excellent as well. Oh, and they have this sweet potato cheesecake that is just as amazing as everything else! The owners brother baked the cakes they sell here. I’ve tried 2. They have an amazing lemon pound cake (glazed), and a fantastic iced coconut cake with pineapple between they layers. The brother says he makes a sweet potato cake that is textured like a pie but stands 7 inches talk like a bundt cake. I can’t wait to try that! Folks, this is the food that you remember from every great meal you’ve had in your childhood. Please check out this great place! I guarantee you’ll love it!
