Debreaux's

On everything that I love there is no reason it should take three hours for a plate of food to come out of this restaurant.I have tried five times and then this woman has the worst attitude as if we are at fault for trusting her with our money like we're stupid and that's what we deserve it is a nightmare to be avoided at all costs!.I'd rather learn how to cook than ever go back there again never another dollar am I will go in her pocket!

I have lived in Philly for a couple of years now. I've been coming to this restaurant for 1.5 years and hands down this is the BEST soul food you can find in Philly probably in your life lol!!!The fish, chicken and even turkey wings are made fresh so be mindful when you order. Hint don't order turkey wings unless you have the time to wait or you order in advance. I love this food and drive from Manayunk whenever I want some down south make you go to sleep when your done food. I'll admit Frances, the owner gives you more than a serving of your sides so trust leftovers are in your future when you dine in or take out. The desserts are yum yum yummy! My favorite is the lemon cake and I have tried the carrot, cheese or pound cake but I'm certain they're delicious. Oh my my my, I think it's the tastiest lemon cake I've ever had. It's moist, not too sweet, the toppling is soft and light not sugary and grainy. It reminds me of a tres leche cake. Oh I have to tell you about her corn bread that you must try. It has kernels of corn and its sweet, like a Mexican corn cake but heartier. When you enter the cowbells chime alerting the owner/cook that you've arrived. She's usually solo so give her a minute to take your order. Sometimes her granddaughter or good friend helps her with orders. Nevertheless, you can take out or dine in. There are a few tables for two and one table for four. Another thing to consider is people call in order. Yeah, they're smart otherwise prepare to patiently wait. The restaurant is small but it's beautifully decorated. I always feel right at home when I come for either lunch or dinner. I've noticed over my time eating here many St. Joseph's student come and she feeds their belly and mind. Come and enjoy a delicious meal.

The best soul food in town. If you have the time and patience, this place is definitely worth it. If you don't have the time to wait, you should go somewhere else. I typically get the fried chicken breast platter with Mac, greens and an additional side of yams. I've had the fish and it was also very good. When I'm craving soul food a few times a year, this is my spot.

I love her, her food and her conversation Food quality is always very good and very consistent.

My favorite takeout southern style restaurant in Philly... The food takes TIME but everything is made to order so be prepared to wait for your order however, expect a mouthwatering surprise!

Very good , freshly made with love. Be prepared to wait, even if you call ahead. Not a place to order if you are in a hurry

l can't tell you much about the food i'm sure it's good but I wasn't even allowed to get food due to the fact as soon as I walked in there was nobody there at all couldn't even here anything in the kitchen I went to sit down to charge my phone since I would be using apple pay to purchase my food and my phone happened to be at 1 percent as soon as I saw someone approaching the counter I politely asked if I could charge my phone real quick with MY CHARGER THAT I BROUGHT she immediately said no and then kicked me out because I had no manners?? like what lmao even tho she was screaming at me saying "Bye" "Get out" she accused me of literally just walking in using the charger which the charger is mine once again but anyways I politely asked "oh if thats the problem can I still place an order?" she just continued to scream bye and get out so I just left

This soul food restaurant is surreal. This restaurant cannot compare. No one can cook like Ms. Debreaux. She is a wonderful woman with very positive energy. The wait was a little long but trust me it is worth it! I recommend the chicken legs with greens and mac and cheese. There isn't anything like it. The yams are sweet and savory. I love this platter with all of my heart.

There's nothing to say. It's perfection. Don't rush her, she's going to take her time to get it right and you want her to.

We ordered our food at 3:30 and was told that it would be ready by 4:45. We arrived and the placed looked like it was closed. I opened the door and proceeded to entered and was stopped abruptly. We were then blocked by a table. We asked for our order and the person who appeared to be the owner asked what we ordered. She wrote the order again and disappeared. We sat waiting in the car for over an hour and then one of us inquire about our order and told the person how long we had been waiting.She disputed the time and we waited another hour. When we got our food, it seem like we were overcharged. When I got home the platters felled on the garage floor because the bag was soggy. I found that instead of fish, I received a chicken breast. The other platters were also wrong. We were too frustrated to return the food.
