    I don't remember the last time I was this excited about food.  My roommate and I ordered delivery tonight–this awful, icy, freezing night–and it came in about thirty minutes.  She got chicken and waffles, and I got the fried chicken leg/thigh dinner with mac n cheese, candied yams and corn bread.  Everything was absolutely delicious; the food came hot and fresh, and the chicken was still delightfully crispy.  We just found our new go-to delivery spot.

    This place is good. It's better than going to crown fried chicken, especially for the sides.
    I normally get the fish , Mac and cheese, green beans andddd cake.
    They are good with delivery as well. The only setback is that there is a minimum so high. If you are ordering alone, this will force you to have to order things of you don't really want them. This is why they lose a star.
    Otherwise, no complaints. They are even friendly if you call or if they call you for something (that alone is more than other delivery places will do)

    Since I'm from the South, I am always on the lookout for great southern cuisine in the north. Napoleon's is definitely good, but not authentically southern. Which is honestly sometimes not a bad thing, seeing as how I feel like I could live a longer life eating Nay's than actual southern food.

    I ordered the fried chicken – leg/thigh dinner, which comes with your choice of of two sides for $10. I won't even bother comparing New York prices to prices back home, but the Mac n cheese and green beans were so good! The mac had limited cheese on it, which I actually like. The green beans actually tasted refreshing and yummy at the same time. Honestly the sides were my favorite part since I didn't think the chicken was meaty or juicy enough. Tasted healthier though. (I think there's a trend here…) The sweet tea wasn't the sweetest and had a lot of lemon flavor.

    My boyfriend got the chicken and waffles, and they don't even put the chicken on top of the waffles because they're wings with bones in them. No sauce is drizzled over them. Not the most authentic, but the waffles were pretty good. Again I thought the chicken was too skinny.

    Service was definitely nice though! Just don't expect the cheapest, largest meal just because it's southern food. It was just the right portion.

    I'm a southerner to the bone so I expect my southern/soul food to taste a certain way.

    Napoleon's was ok but I wouldn't make it a routine to go there. I had the BBQ turkey wings, macaroni and cheese, and yams. Oh, I had a taste of the macaroni salad and I had the banana pudding as well. Pudding was good and macaroni salad was great! Turkey wings were a little tough to me, mac and cheese? my aunts is wayyyy better, and yams? I prefer them to be sweeter.

    Service is great though…I ordered through Yelp. The staff is so polite and they do give you generous portions for your money so that's always a plus.

    Glad I got that experience out the way.

    Everything I've had here has been delicious! My absolutel favorite, which actually keeps me from exploring more of the menu, is the turkey wings.  The wings are smothered, falling off the bone and so perfectly seasoned.  My mouth is salivating as I write this.   I also love, love the potato salad, probably the best I've ever had.  The collards, the corn bread, the candied yams and the mac n cheese are also delicious!  I've also had the buffalo wings which were finger-licking-good!

    I highly recommend this spot for some delicious, well-seasoned soulfood.  When I'm eating solo, I usually make two meals out of the entrees I order.  Well worth it.  Plus everyone who works here is super friendly.  I'll be back again soon!

    I always order my food to go/pick up! No complaints on taste. Everything is delicious. I have to give only 4 stars because i really think a little more can be given on the side dishes that come with your meal. For the dinner prices, a little dollop just won't do. Also the yams could be less stringy and sweeter/darker in flavor. My preferred choices are the baked turkey wings (so tender they fall off the bone), with a side of mac&cheese and yams. I don't like the desserts at all. Service is great as long as you're dealing w/the owner. She's a sweetie pie!

    This place makes me so happy. The mac n cheese and banana pudding pull me back to a Sunday meal back home in South Carolina! Ridiculously delicious, and they're quick and reliable with delivery.

    I just figured out what it is that makes their food taste sooooo goooood! It's their attitude. Simple. Everyone in this establishment is so very courteous. From management to bottle washer. If you guys ever read this please don't change unless it's to get even more fabulous.

    Yes, an updated review on a restaurant strictly about the customer service. As you guys tell your customers…BLESSINGS TO YOU.

    The End.
