The atmosphere is full of love and great people. The food was delicious. I got turkey wings which we cooked and seasoned perfectly.
The open mic was full of talented people and the house band was great, with real musicians that seem to know how to play anything.
Note: The person next to me at another table said her cornbread was overcooked. She couldn't even cut it.
The food here is always on point. To me, today's temperature for the mac n cheese could have been hotter, but it was perfect to my friend. The corn bread, a crowd favorite, was stellar as usual.
Everyone loved their food: Braised beef short rib (so incredibly tender), hot honey fried chicken, and the turkey wings. It was our friend's first time and she will be back.
I would put Relish into the group as being one of the best soul food spots in Philadelphia. The Hot honey fried chicken with greens and smashed potatoes were delicious. The greens had turkey meat in them and were not overly seasoned. The "smashed" potatoes were good. The chicken was just so juicy and tender and not dried out. The Hennessey Sangria was delicious along with the mango pineapple bread pudding.
I thoroughly enjoyed the live band that entertained us with real music. The service could use more hands to allow more attention to tables and not hailing them down when you needed something. There are no substitutions as well but I'm not sure if they can exclude shrimp from a dish. In all I had a great time and will be returning to try other items.
