BEST SOULFOOD IN THE AREA!! Soul food meets soulful music at this longtime fixture, where live entertainment is the soundtrack for dinner and brunch service featuring dressed-up southern comforts like country-fried chicken wings with sweet peach chili and oh-so-perfect collard greens. The bands play on thanks to still-new owner Nia Grace, who not only stewarded the storied spot to the other side of a pandemic, but — as cofounder of the recently launched Boston Black Hospitality Coalition — uses her significant stage to advocate for a more equitable restaurant industry in the city.

Getting Around

Public transportation ( Orange Line) is 3 miles from the apartment. You can get to down town Boston in approx 20 minutes from the station. Our Transit system is very easy to navigate. Parking is hard to find and very expensive in Boston. I highly recommend driving to the local train station.. (Wellington Circle) parking your car and then using the local transit system to get around especially if you are attending a major event or going sightseeing.
