Soooo good. We came here on a Saturday for lunch around noon, so they were just opening for the day. Everything was fresh out of the frier or the oven and tasted incredible. The service was excellent and the owners were so friendly and kind.
Fried chicken was perfectly seasoned and crispy. Collard greens among the best I’ve had.
Service—above and beyond. Location—super convenient to a proctors show or the parking garage if you’re downtown for other purposes.
But can I tell you about this food?!? Everything was so flavorful and plentiful. From the yams to the haddock and fried chicken and potato salad and collard greens made with turkey: it got to the point I was mad I couldn’t eat it all nor all at once.
I will get dressed in real pants and leave my house for this food. ❤️❤️
My husband and I came here on Saturday. Great customer service. The food was so delicious I got chicken dinner my husband got rib dinner. The blueberry bread pudding was Devine. Definitely recommend this place great food. I will be coming back. Thank Ya Ya’sSouthern Cuisine
I was craving soul food so my friend and I decided to grab some from Ya Ya's. I ordered the catfish dinner which came with yams, collard greens and a corn muffin and I also ordered a side of macaroni and cheese. My friend ordered the fried chicken sandwich with sides of yams and macaroni and cheese. When we went to pick it up I asked about desserts. What I really wanted was pound cake but they didn't have any so I got the red velvet and my friend got the carrot cake.
It was a good amount of food. I split mine up because I wanted to have leftovers. (Unfortunately I didn't think to take a photo until after I split it up). Everything I had has delicious and the catfish was a good size.
My friend enjoyed the yams and macaroni and cheese. His complaint was that he ordered a sandwich however he got a breast with a wing attached and slices of bread. I'm not sure If that was a mistake or what the sandwich is supposed to be like. He also said that it was a little dry. I'm assuming because it was such a large piece but I'm only speculating.
*Masks are required. Restrooms are not open to the public and there is currently no indoor dining due to Covid-19. The place looked and felt very clean.
Overall, it was a good experience and I will be returning in the future. Also, the man (who may be an owner, not sure) was very polite and welcoming. He gave off cousin vibes 🙂.
