In Short – It's only one smallish, quiet room with a subdued purple and dark-green color scheme. Menu items include catfish, fried chicken and ribs, plus potato-crusted salmon, tempura shrimp and a Harlem burrito of collards and black-eyed peas with a fresh tomato-cilantro salsa. Favorites include sweet-potato muffins, green beans, macaroni and cheese, spicy collards and pork chops.

This place should be take-out only!

It is not worth sitting down and eating this stuff they call food! i would not consider this food to be anything close to "soul-food". It is just food. I have been with friends about 10 times in total and 9 times out of the 10, the service has always been bad for different reasons. The lobby is non-existent. You just wait in some chairs in the front of the restaurant and just watch the people eat until they are through with their lunch/dinner. There is nothing original or special about their food. This place has had years to improve on the menu, but it never gets better. The fried chicken and greens are bland, the mac and cheese taste pasty. I did have the steak once and it was really good, but I had to send it back the first time because they over-cooked it (not to my specifications). Basically, this is a bad attempt at adding flare to down home, southern cooking and then add on poor service with a very-tight dinning area. Save your money and time.
- Pros: The steak
- Cons: non-existent lobby, sloppy and poor service, bland food

VERY GOOD FOOD
by hungrydaddy at Citysearch
I have been to Beans And Cornbread at least a dozen times, because I can't find better soul-food. The service is pleasing complete with an open door welcome and a friendly staff. I usually order the salmon patties, and the taste is new and slightly gourmet. They also have a real nice lunch menu, they have earned an A+ in my class.
- Pros: nice location, quick carryout
- Cons: small dining area

A "true" soulfood experience!!

I must say the food is on the high side of calories, if you're weight concious. But if you want true flavor, and good taste, this is the place!!! I can only compare this to my OWN cooking!! Some of the treats are very tasty! But if you eat all you're served, better be prepared to work it off!! One bad fault: NO LOW CARB MEALS!!!
- Pros: good service, free drink refills, Nice ambience
- Cons: , sometimes crowded
