Review:
Service was terrible. Numerous items on menu were not available. Food was OK if you like deep fried flavor in mounds of grease. Atmosphere was cold. Waiter was more interested in watching ball game on TV than providing service, it took 15 minutes to get coffee. Food was served without dinnerware and took 10 minutes to arrive after it was requested.

Authentic Soul Food in the Frozen Tundra, 12-21-2009

Review:
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I was familiar with Sarai's fantastic cooking through previous restaurants where she's worked (you might remember various incarnations of a place called Coaches, over at Titletown motel) and was thrilled to learn she'd opened her own place. I hot-footed it right over for lunch.
The editorial review was mostly right on, but I beg to differ when she critiques how the food was prepared. She says she'd prefer the veggies to be minced, not chopped, and would have liked more sauce on the ribs. etc. Well, that's not how we cook Soul Food down South: the veggies are chopped, and the ribs are rubbed with spices, not drowned in sauces. Such attitudes on the part of editorial reviewers are how we end up with monotonous, homogeneous food...people of one region demand that food from another region be prepared to meet their local expectations. Instead, I think locals ought to appreciate the fact that this is something different. If Sarai starts cooking so that her food tastes like what you can already get at every other "homestyle" cafe in Green Bay, all is lost. This is homestyle, Southern style! Be prepared to relax and enjoy a little Southern comfort.
