Home Plate Restaurant

I've driven past this establishment several times. A friend suggested eating here, and I'm glad they did. We ordered 2 fried chicken plates w/ two sides in each plate(Mac & cheese, pinto beans, greens, and coleslaw). Additionally you have the option of either hush puppies or a roll. With drinks our bill was approximately $20.Meals are served cafeteria style, the menu is listed on the television screen. Workers were friendly and polite. This is an older building but everything was neat and tidy and I got the impression they took pride in delivering a solid product. The food was good. Think Bojangles chicken, not quite as crispy. Well fried and not dry. The Mac and cheese was good, not fancy, but better than some others I've had. The greens and beans were adequately seasoned. Overall a fantastic deal. Soul food can be bland if care is not given. I felt the care and pride. Would recommend 4.1 (Soul food)

The food is amazing! The portions are huge! The service is awesome!We met some local bikers that recommended this restaurant and they were spot on!Sort of plain decor, but who cares when you have a plate FULL of great chow?!

Amazing food. Just amazing. Everything we got was super yummy and very very affordable.

Always good to stop in and get a good quick meal. Good prices and very personable. Depending on who's serving, you might get some good ole southern banter. But you always get good food.

Good Southern food! I'm talking real Southern food. I had the fish with hush puppies, cole slaw, and green beans. The fish was huge and perfectly fried. My husband had the fried pork chops, breaded perfectly and the seasoning was great. The restaurant is casual, sparse, with plastic utensils, styrofoam plates. If you're looking for "atmosphere ", this is not the place for you. But if your looking for excellent Southern food, local, country feel; then don't miss this place!

I stopped by this place while visiting my Godmother for the weekend. The menu was really small, but the food was amazing! I knew it was going to be delicious from all the cars that were parked outside the restaurant and the steady crowd coming in. I ordered in the drive thru and it was a pretty fast and easy transaction. I got the bbq chicken, mac n cheese, greenbeans, and the cucumber salad. The bbq chicken is not "sauced" it has the vinegar bbq "sauce" on it. I thought it would have the traditional bbq "sauce" on it. Took me by surprise. Nonetheless, it was delicious and that chicken pulled right off the bone, was moist, and melted in my mouth. I really didn't have to chew the chicken! Mac n cheese was good. Cucumber salad was too chunky for me and I don't like when they cut the green (skin) away from the cucumber. Had the cucumber been sliced more thinly, I think it would have enjoyed it better. I did eat all the vinegary onions out of it! Only thing that I did not enjoy were the hushpuppies. They had a nice crunch on the outside, but it was too dense and dry on the inside for me.

Best Hidden Southern Gem!What a best kept Southern secret this place was! Worth the 5 mile drive off 85-South, this little restaurant has plenty of happy faces behind the simple buffet, for quick comfort food. Different daily specials, but today there was fried chicken and fried fish. Our chicken was great, fried nicely and not greasy. Many sides. My broccoli was steamed, buttery and delicious, and deviled eggs were also a side. Husband said his mashed potatoes and lima beans were very good. Our hush puppies had a slight cakey sweetness, not burned or greasy. Coke products. Our tummies are happy and we did not break the bank! Posting pics of the buffet.

My dad went there last week for the first time and told me how good it was. I forgot what he got. I wanted to get the barbecue chicken, but all they had was quarters and I was a little more hungry than that. I was hoping to get a half of chicken, but that was not available. So I got the fish plate with mashed potatoes and cabbage. Absolutely perfect. Everything looked excellent that I didn't get. Excellent price too at $12. I went to a fish place down the road a few days ago that was supposed to specialize in fried fish and it really wasn't very good but this place is awesome and I will be going back.Update: dad got the fried chicken

The fried chicken is always delicious. The breasts are huge for restaurant chicken and the breading is always tasty. The restaurant itself could use a really extensive cleaning and remodeling but the food is great

I went here yesterday my first time and it will definitely be my last I just cannot figure out why people are here today or any day if this is not their first time.The food on the hot trays do not look good at all not much food to choose from and they can't even make it look appealing.I got the chicken and Dumplings which are extremely bland to the core with shreds of unrecognizable chicken that you can barely see the whole thing has zero taste which is absolutely ridiculous The hush puppies are the worst that I have ever had in my entire life they are extra dry amd tasteless I put them in the trash.The yams look a mess and taste even worst not a bit of love was put into making them they look exactly how they tasteOn my first bite the fried chicken tasted decent but after eating deeper it just got worst bland to the bone Publix chicken is way better all the way down to the bone.I did not get the greens they look like chopped up baby food they cut corners on those greens which is a darn shameMy whole experience was absolutely awful just bad Soul Food Point Blank Period don't say you was not warned.Stop giving your money to places like this that don't put care into what they sell I know darn well the cooks don't serve this mess at home to their families if they do the owner need to shut down and improve and care more about their patrons wish I could give Zero Stars
