Je Ne Sais Quoi

"Tastes Like Something" is the (rather odd) motto here, and that "something" invariably consists of soul food classics cooked up to downhome perfection — "as if I were having Sunday evening dinner at Big Momma's House", in the words of one happy customer. The menu consists of a small core list of permanent options (fried fish, chicken, and shrimp, barbecue ribs, and various combinations thereof) complemented by a revolving door of daily specials. Sides, of which two come with your meal, change daily as well. At Je Ne Sais Quoi the service is friendly as can be and the portions are generous, but prices are a bit higher than similar soul food joints around town, and they do not accept credit cards.
