I just want to say thank you for a great meal, complements to the chiefs what a great meal everything was freshly made felt like real home cooked meal. Was looking forward to ordering some crab legs,lobster, chicken but their wasn’t any when we went. The Cajun shrimp pasta was so tasty and not too spicy my kids loved it. Everything we order I tired and i really enjoyed it all and the lemonade was a perfect great clean place and really nice staff! Restroom are available and dine in is open not to much seating area but it was perfect for the 5 of us!

I had to come back and make another review. I done went to this spot 2 days in a row and both times was amazing. I'm mad they closed today cause I would have went back again today. I had the fried conch Mac n cheese, yams and peas and rice and that 1986 vibe drink. It was soooo damn good. The conch was seasoned perfectly and tender. It wasn't chewy it was juicy and flavorful. The Mac n cheese was perfect and the yams was sweet and good like I like it. The peas and rice was delicious too. They have made a customer for life . They owner is very nice and provides good customer service. I would recommend this place to everybody. I have friends coming next week to see what I'm talking bout

Clean space and fast service. Their rebrand has made a complete 180 from before. My all time favorite will always be the jerk shrimp pasta! 1000/10! Try their lemonade and banana pudding as well!

I had stopped by 1986 Kitchen and asked them if they sell “Chicken wings and Fries” and they said yes and I say good, I’ll be back. I’m glad I came back the next day and the day after and tried their food. I love the food. The taste is real good soul food. Their food taste as if it is personally and uniquely made with love for you. This is my go to restaurant for good soul food cooking. I highly recommend.
