This was my first visit to this restaurant since they changed names and ownership. My book club and I came (party of 6) on a Thursday night (7pm) during Richmond Black Restaurant Experience week. There were multiple servers who assisted us through the night and they were pleasant and I throughly felt they appreciated our business. However, it did take a while for us to get menus and the entire party didn't receive flatware until after our food arrived. (One waitress did state she thought we'd like to wait to see menus once the entire party arrived.) The waitress who took our orders was the sweetest and answered all of our questions and gave us her personal feedback on the menu items. Loved that!
My biggest complaint was that I ordered a cup of hot tea but it was more luke warm. My corn bread was the first thing out and I was so glad! For one I was starving. Secondly, it was large, warm, and moist. They even add real corn kernels to it which reminds me of my how my grandmother would make her corn bread. It was so good I took a picture after everyone sampled it
The soul roll was different but I loved the crunch that the egg roll provided in contrast to the ingredients. However, my table definitely wished there was a soul roll that included yams and macaroni and cheese. The turkey wings I'd give a 7/10 they were very tasty and I loved the gravy but the under parts of the wing were a little dry compared to the wing tip and skin. Overall I was pleased with my side choices. My $19.99 special also came with dessert and I ordered the banana pudding and was not disappointed (cause you can't eat everyone's banana pudding)! I also ordered a catfish basket to go and reheated it in my toaster oven. The flavor on the fish...muah!
I loved the amount of food I received for the price I paid. So value was a plus. And I always extend patience when I'm eating in large groups. There were only a few mix ups in ordering amongst our party (shrimp instead of Wingettes and banana pudding instead of bread pudding). Also one of my friends had to turn around because she wasn't given her piece of corn bread to go but hadn't gotten far and had no issues when she went back in.
I'll definitely be back to try something else!
The food was soooo good!! It was Amazing! Delish!! The fish was good and i am not a fan of fish. The baked chicken fell off the bone(yes lord) but the cabbage and green beans taste like heaven!!
If you want to experience a smokehouse that is black own, this is it. But this place made us fell like home.
I'm sick I'm just now finding out about this GEM! Ordered something simple to see the quality of the food and they killed it! I'll definitely be back for the rest of their menu. She mentioned she was relocating to rt 10 in a month?
I had four wings, mac and cheese, collard greens. Everything was delicious, I would definitely come back and eat from this restaurant. I loved my food!!!!
If you would like some comfort food that is made with the best ingredients that you can find at a restaurant please come to traditionz Smokehouse. This food was absolutely delicious the service was stellar. I have not one complaint about the meal that I ate other than the fact that I wanted more and more and more. Traditions has really stepped their game up by smoking their mac and cheese. I will come back again and again excellent wonderful superb!
Me and my boo stopped through last night for our first time we both ordered the Chitling dinner with two sides. I don't eat everybody's chitlings but I gotta say everything was great..we both decided we will visit again..
FOOD IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! LBJ hooked it up. Mercy was an absolute joy! Highly recommend. 10 stars if I could!
Been ordering wings from here for the last few months and we can't rave enough about them. The flavor is amazing, without having to drown them in sauce. They have a hint of sweetness to them but just a little. We started to order weekly!
The mac n cheese... well, it was a little watery and not too flavorful so we probably won't get again but we finally tried a soul roll yesterday (the chicken, collard and mac n cheese one) it was delicious! Looking forward to trying another flavor. Really wish they would bring back the shrimp n grits one, would love to try it.
Service is ALWAYS friendly and helpful. Its so worth the drive out there to order from them!
Okay, so I've driven pass this place for over a year now, thinking it would be a dirty little hole in the wall... but I was wrong! I've been going to another Soul Food place for years, and America's Best for Wings and Fish but not anymore. The food is amazing, so good I'm thinking about going back tomorrow. The service was fast, and the waitress was very informative about what they offered. My only complaint is they close really early, but I understand it's a small business. 😊 Happy New Customer as long as it remains consistent.
This place really redeemed itself. I received excellent service the last time I ordered from here. The staff was friendly and engaging. I like how they have ppl wait in their cars after placing or paying for their orders and they bring the food to the car hot and fresh. Please keep up the friendly, welcoming environment. I was thoroughly impressed!
The Best chicken wings around! Crispy, golden brown on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. These wings are not tasteless, like at some other places, where you have to smother the wings in a sauce just to make them taste good. LBJ's @ Traditionz wings are full of flavor from the outside to the inside. Cooked to perfection. The service is friendly, the prices are fair and the chef is off the hook! This is my go to place for wings from now on!
We stopped by today on our way home to enjoy the Super Bowl and the entire experience was lovely. Had a very nice down home feeling! The owners were very friendly and when the food came out it was delicious and cooked to our liking. I had to wonder if my granny was in the back frying up the fish! Lol. Would definitely recommend and looking forward to going back.
Delicious fish dinner with great sides. Turkey wings & sides were also very tasty. The bread pudding was awesome. Customer service was great as well. Will go back & recommend anyone interested in good soul food to check this place out.
Stopped on my way home from church. The buffet looked so good, I went home and changed into casual clothes and returned. The food was great and my waitress was a very attentive sweetheart! The atmosphere is comfy ... feels like a neighborhood place ... like you already know everybody. I will be back! ❤️

Great tasting food at good prices. Portions are hefty and the shrimp are to die for. Seafood is fried crispy golden brown with just the right seasoning. Staff is friendly but it takes a while to get your food. They have a buffet on Sundays until 3:00 pm for under 25 bucks. Great family owned and family run business.
