Sugga’s

Remember last time I mentioned the servers could be friendlier? Well today’s encounter definitely helped me decide it’d be my last. The servers were their same unfriendly selves with me but they were very rude to a guy ahead of me. The guy only asked which pieces of chicken he could get and they were very snappy and rude as if he agitated them. He kept his composure and nicely explained this was his first time coming there. This really upset me. I’ll never go back. I’ll happily drive 5 more mins. to Ed’s in Phenix city.

I’m not really sure what’s happened here, but the macaroni and cheese is different than it used to be. They used to use a different type of pasta, and the whole recipe just seems different. It makes me sad because the macaroni and cheese was the best I ever had and now it’s pretty mediocre. Everything else seems to be okay. I’ll update if anything changes.
Edit: I’ve eaten here since and the macaroni has gotten better, though it’s still not as good as it used to be. Oh, well… I still love going here.
I’m also not sure what Shanell’s talking about with the price, but a meal like she describes is between $ 7 – 9 depending on what meat you get and what day you go.

I frequent here weekly on Sunday’s or Monday’s. So yep they know me lol!!!
Good food I’m there… Sugga’s are widely known for their great southern Soul Food & tasty food like Grandma’s and you know that’s good! ! ! ! ! I love the fried pork chop with fresh cabbage, candied yams (sweet potatoes) seasoned peas, corn muffin & blackberry pie my, my, my. They have a chalkboard posted daily menu for the day giving you a better ideal on what to order.
Stop on by for a good treat.. .

Highly overrated! The fried porkchops were hard and the mac n cheese was nothing special. Over $ 14 for a meat, 2 sides, a drink and a tea was an absolute waste of money! I should have gone with my first mind and went to JB’s Dollar Scoop on Brown avenue where I could have gotten the same thing for half as each item is only…$ 1! But never again will I be disloyal to them! I had heard so much hype about the place and wanted to give it a try. I did. Never again!

It may not look amazing from the outside, but the food is so good it doesn’t even matter. I had a vegetable plate. The macaroni and cheese was amazing, the squash casserole had nice flavor and the sweet potatoes were good. The tea was a little sweet but with lots of ice it’s good. The workers could have been a little friendlier, but if you’re looking for great southern food at a great price, Sugga’s is the place to go.

This is a fantastic southern homecooking place… clean, friendly, southern hospitality! I love the baked chicken! The vegees are seasoned and yummy! Only wish they gave you a bigger of chicken!

Today my family and I were feeling adventerous and were turned on to Sugga’s by a friend who loves great food so we gave Sugga’s a try. The sweet tea was sensational, their tilapia had flavor that was not traditional, but rather creative, full of unique tastes, but without salt as the main spice! The service however average delivered a top quality dinner that exceeded my expectations. They have a buffet style line set up where you go to the glass window and point to what is on the menu for that day. They have an array of meats from baked fish to fried chicken or if Hamburger steak & gravy is your thing, there is something for everyone! I chose 2 veggies which were the yams and the squash/​zuchinni casserole. This was not your ordinary casserole or yams! The yams tasted like they were slow baked whole, then divided with spices such as brown sugar and black pepper-​which is new to me but pleasant! I know sweet potato, and these weren’t the canned kind. They were firm yet moist and they didn’t have the usual canned color. The squash/​zuchinni combo? MARVELOUS. the veggies were by no means mushy or over cooked, they were not over seasoned nor greasy. They were just what I would want all such casserole to taste like, but I like a little cheese added. I ordered mash pots with brown gravy for my sons, and mac & cheese with baked chicken. The mac was made with Ziti pasta, and tasted like home made mac & cheese amazingness, the zing of the sharp cheddar, the milk to moisten the dish after baking it, and the black pepper to waken the pasta. WoW! I went on a monday, I am not sure what other days hold, but I just bet any other day is as good. Prices are the same as a combo meal at wendy’s but the quality is high standard, not fast food. The setting had some very rustic décor, dim lit but very formal which is impressive for a soul food joint on the south side/​mid-​town area. The drink options were tea or lemonade, but if you show up, be ready to amaze your taste buds and quench your thirst with some good ol’ southern style fare. I give 5 stars to the food, but 4 stars because service didnt match the food.

If you’re looking for Soul Food this is definitely the place to go. Its a nice Christian environment with great food. When I went they had turkey wings on the menu, I think they serve this on Thursdays. So of course when I visit home I try to go on Thursday. I think that they also cater events but they are definitely worth checking out!!!
