Place look sketchy and the part of area it’s located in isn’t the best but the food is very good! I would definitely recommend to all. The food is spicy for a FYI. My spice tolerance is pretty good but it has me sweating. There is no 1 to 5 spice level. It’s just as is. But trust me the food is freaking delicious!

Before COVID the atmosphere was cool, very family oriented. I drive 1hr 45min to get this food! Very reasonable on the price. And it never disappoint, they are simply one of the best in Minnesota. They also always remember me even after years of not visiting. 1-5-24 The last few times I've driven over an hour to find it's NOT OPEN. Then when you call the business phone it's a damn cell number or they hang up.. not sure what's up but been coming for over 10 years here and I deserve a discount. Plus I'm starving tf y'all need to get it together if you wanna be the #1 in the city

I love their three meat collards... plenty of meat! And plenty of flavor. It’s pretty spicy, but is so good you can’t stop eating it! Now if you are in a hurry... go somewhere else! Nahhh just wait til you have time! Cause it’s worth the wait, but you gone certainly wait!!! And wait:... and waittttttt!

I came here looking to enjoy some cassava to relive the childhood memories of my liberian grandpas cooking, and when the gentleman at the door informed me that they were liberian themselves, I knew I was at the right place! They were very kind and even apologized for the 20-minute wait, which, in my opinion, was worth the wait because the food was phenomenal! These folks will definitely be seeing me more often!

I have come here since 2010, atleast twice a month faithfully. My favorite dish is the fish and crazy rice, how ever the collard greens are a hit as well. Very family like atmosphere, the little lady who works in the kitchen, and older man who works in front are the sweetest.
