Hughley's Southern Cuisine is focused on soul food (southern food) and offers items such as fried chicken and waffles, fried catfish, pork spare ribs, beef brisket, oxtail soup, and a variety of side dishes. Pick the type of entree you want and then pick a couple of sides to go with it, pay at the register, then go sit at a table and they'll serve you from there.

The staff is friendly, the restaurant is clean, and the food was quite good. I wouldn't say that southern or soul food is something I ever crave, but I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. I tried the beef brisket with some fries and mac & cheese for the sides and they also give you a piece of corn bread.

The sides are great, the brisket was nice and smokey and very good even if it wasn't super tender and maybe a little on the salty side. The staff is friendly and the service is good, though not great.

What is great is the corn bread. I'm not a fan of corn bread in general but I really liked the way they make it here which is less on the corn side of things and more on the sweet, cake like side. It's the best corn bread I've had on the island.

If you're looking for some tasty soul food then give Hughley's Southern Cuisine a try, but note that it's not cheap. My brisket meal with 2 sides and a soda was $18 before tax and tip. It was a ton of food, way more than I needed, but still feels a bit on the pricey side for what it was.
