Best home cooked meal I've ever had from a restaurant
Lord Have Mercy! My wife and I stop in to get some food with no expectations but when I say they were met and superseded. My wife dang near order the whole menu ❤️ 10/10
The food was fresh and hot cooked to order.
Got lunch here yesterday! The name of the place, location, and selection of food piqued my interest, so I figured me and my friend should try it. We went with a Philly cheesesteak each. They come with fries and a drink. Fries can be seasoned with multiple types of seasonings and sauces. There’s a ton of options! The lady at the counter was wholesome and the way she talked to us felt like a warm embrace. The music was funky (the good kind of funky) and complimented the vibe of the place really well. Philly was delicious, cajun seasoned fries were delicious, and the sweet tea is some good sweet tea. Great Service, great atmosphere and probably some of the best customer service I’ve had from a restaurant.
Taste It Restaurant catered my birthday party and the food was absolutely phenomenal! The staff was friendly, pleasant, and a joy to work with. They completed everything with a smile, and my guests are still reaching out days later asking for your contact information. To the entire staff at Taste It — THANK YOU for making my event so special.‼️
Seasoned to perfection excellent soul food eatery👍🏾👍🏾

On December 21, 2025, I visited Taste It with my niece and my son. I had beef tips with rice, yams, and pinto beans, with cornbread. My son had the same main meat, but his vegetables were collard greens, and he had macaroni and cheese with cornbread. My niece had the wings, macaroni and cheese with pinto beans, and cornbread. We also had drinks. I can honestly say that the food was seasoned so well. Every bite made you want more. My niece was so happy, she said the food was so good, I had to tell her to slow down, I would get her more. My son was all smiles because he wasn’t talking; he was only eating. The food was hot, and my beef tips were tender and seasoned, along with the rice. The rice and the vegetables were delicious. I tell you, the restaurant's name is correct: Taste It! Yes, you won’t believe it until you taste it! Taste It is the first restaurant I’ve been to where every dish was seasoned to perfection. Yes! Sunday is Soul Food only. To wrap it up, I say Go Quickly! Take your family, friends, and co-workers, invite all. You will definitely enjoy and want more! I give it 10+ for the food and service.
My friend and I ordered food to go from here a few weeks ago. I ordered the grilled chicken. Besides my chicken being extremely salty, the salad was great and pleasing to the eye. After mixing the ranch dressing and chicken with the other ingredients, this helped to calm the saltiness of the chicken down quite a bit. Everything was fresh and plentiful as a salad should be. Service was pleasant which would make me return. There was ample seating inside so next time we will eat in. I will return to try other menu choices.
Never get your order right away put something on your food when you tell them you don't want that on it n put it on their anyway so I decide not to go there anymore n on top that price wade out the way but God bless ❤️🙏🙏🙏
The deluxe cheeseburger is a soy type patty no season and the bun tastes weird gooey like , fries taste like cooking oil
