And now for a rousing segment of…
The only place on this Wiki where you’ll find food reviews!
Look for 4 *’s, that means you better get off your rump and head on over!
Today we explore “Sylvia’s”, a world-famous soul food destination known for it’s fried chicken and ribs.
When you walk inside, you are ensconced in a warm, friendly atmosphere. All of the décor is very cozy, while the tables and place settings give a sense of class.
Hmm…. World-Famous Barbecue Ribs it is!
Biscuits, garlic mashed potatoes, collard greens, and ribs… Am I in heaven?
BEST. MEAL. EVER.
Overall, Sylvia’s was an amazing experience. The food was absolutely delicious, the service was excellent (I don’t remember seeing a single person not smile), and I am dying to go back. The décor isn’t the most impressive out there, but it’s a soul food restaurant, not a hipster café. I highly recommend the pork ribs. Not only are they tender and juicy, the sauce is amazing. The sides were also fabulous; the potatoes had just the right amount of garlic and the collard greens featured the smoky taste of turkey.

Definitely a must-visit site, but be careful. The portions are extremely large and filling, so come hungry. If not, make sure you doggy bag, you’ll regret wasting such a
finger lickin’, lip –smackin’ smorgasbord of Southern cuisine.
