The food was awesome! It was like a party in my mouth! I had to cry "UNCLE" to stop eating! Me and my sister really enjoyed the did! The staff was very courteous and helpful. We did not have to wait for our order like some other restaurants. I'm from out of town but I'm going back to get dinner fir my husband for a surprise. I wish they were close to my home because I am over an hour away. It hard to find a good soul food restaurant. Lord's willing I will be back. Go and check them out for for yourself you won't be disappointed!

The Fried basa was 10/10. Probably the best piece of fried fish I've ever had. The turkey wings were tender and seasoned; exactly what you want. I didn't have the fried chicken, but my friend said it was delicious and crispy. The sides were just as tasty. I'd say the Yams were the best.. sooo soooo good. Can't wait to try the other food options. Hopefully next time I go they have more specials available. I went during lunch time, so the menu was limited. This is more of a grab and go place. The service was quick, but I did arrive 30 min after they opened. I would recommend calling before you go so that you know what they have before ordering. Can't wait to try them again!

Traceys Kitchen will NOT disappoint if you are in search of a home cooked, well seasoned style meal. Hubby and I visited after church for dinner. I had the turkey wings, cabbage & yams. Hubby had the Fried whiting with the same sides...All I can say is DELICIOUS! ALL OF IT! We will be back!

The food is delicious and tastes homemade. Ordered the shrimp, ox tails, collard greens, Mac and cheese, and yams. The portions are huge! Can't wait to go back and try more!

Stopped by for takeout. Ordered the oxtails, which comes with rice and two sides ($12.50) ordered three - collards, sweet potatoes, and mac. Extra sides are $3.50. Hubby ordered whiting fish ($10.50), which came with rice and two sides. He opted for the cabbage and mac. We asked for two slices of bread for the fish and were given the option of white or wheat. We were then directed to a condiment table for tartar and hot sauce. Hubby ordered lemon cake ($2) for dessert. Portions were generous (see pics) and the food tasted great! The place is clean with free on the street parking. We'll be back!
