This well-known soul food joint, which few of us had ever eaten at while sober, offers up tasty variations on staples like, well, chicken and waffles. But admittedly tasty sides like squash casserole and fried okra are best served as bookends to the real star: the macaroni and cheese.

This is macaroni and cheese like your grandma should have made it -- baked, with a thick crust of melted cheese and plenty of artery-clogging flavor.

Here's how the ratings broke down:
texture: 4.2
seasoning: 4.6
cheesiness: 4.4
cost/portion size ratio: 3.2
