Not Your Mamas Kitchen - Soul Food

I ordered the chicken and waffles here. I was expecting some msg'd chicken and a salty/sweet buttery waffle similar Waffle House.This tasted completely different, it was pretty good. It required much more mature tastebuds. Perfectly fried big and fresh chicken wings and a waffle recipe I haven't had before, the flavors made a perfect combo. This is meal was wholesome.

Food was a 3.5/5. Cornbread was a bit too dry for my liking. Mac n cheese was a bit too salty. Fried chicken was good. Collard greens were just ok. Location and ambiance inside & out is a bit rugged. A place you'd want maybe once a year. Service was ok, not too friendly. Food was ready since we ordered it online. Good if you are looking for fried chicken and ok sides.

I have been craving some oxtail and was looking for a place that sold it. They're closed Monday through Wednesday and they take online orders on their website. I ordered on Sunday for a plate of oxtail which came with two sides and a cornbread muffin. I wanted to try their cabbage and their red beans and rice. The oxtail was piled on top of their rice and gravy. The four pieces of oxtail were soft and tender and easy to separate from the bone. The red beans and rice were nicely seasoned. The main thing was that the cabbage and gravy tasted super salty to me and my brother who tried my plate. The cabbage was cooked nicely and I can taste the bell peppers in it but super salty. The cornbread was moist. The wait time was not long. The place is clean.

Great food! Idk how they weren't busier when we went there. Everything down to the sides was delicious. Best damn Po' Boy I've had outside of someone's mama's kitchen. Thank y'all so much! 10/10 must try.

The food and service were EXCELLENT! The restaurant is huge with facilities to set up as a buffer but that is not in use. You order up front and seat yourself at tables inside only. The menu chicken and waffles, fried chicken plate Po boy, Turkey chop greens, cabbage , yams, red beans and rice and a few more items/plates. We ordered the Turkey chop dinner with greens and Mac and cheese and fried chicken plates (all wings) with cabbage and yams with a waffle to share. The waffle was soft and dense and it wasn't sweet. It was ok. The fried chicken plate was delicious. The wings are a good size, extra crispy and was cooked to perfection just like my great Aunie used to make! I could only finish two of the three and the sides. . The cabbage was . The yams were . They were not syrupy sweet. They were fresh and had flavor. The plates all come with a corn muffin. It was good. My dinner date ordered the Turkey chop plate with gravy on the side (he ordered another gravy to go because it was ). . He finished one of the two fried chops. He prefers pork chops to Turkey chops. He devoured the greens and Mac. He DRANK the juice from the greens. Yummy!!! He ended up adding a shrimp Po boy sandwich during the meal because he wanted to taste all of his faves. He loved the sand which. It's almost impossible to find a good, clean soul food restaurant with good food and service and I'm telling you they have it. The food was well seasoned and not overly seasoned. The cons for me would be that they don't have plates and silverware and glasses. Everything is served in styrofoam containers and they do not offer unsweetened iced tea or zero sugar fountain drinks or imitation sweetener for people with dietary restrictions. The food was so good, we were happy with water. This is a family owned and operated restaurant and they are passionate about their food and you can tell by how good it is!!! If you're in the area or heading to Palm Springs, pass thru and try their food. I believe you will love it! Gwen is an owner and she is a delight. They are very hospitable too. Yummy!!! Chefs kiss to Gwen and her family for offering good food!!!

Was looking to try some soul food near work. Located in a strip mall with plenty of parking and some shuttered businesses. Large restaurant, stand alone in middle of parking. Looks like might have been a buffet restaurant in past life. You order at front desk. There are tables and a tv inside but I ordered to go. Decided on the catfish plate that comes w two sides and added extra side. 6 pieces of fish but was too thin- parts tasted like chicharron bc was just crispy fried skin with their coating. I would prefer three thicker pieces. The collard greens were deliciously good- I could probably eat a large side by myself. Smoky with bits of pork, greens no butter and tender and a bit salty the way I like them. The yams were great, not overly sweet and w rich cinnamon taste. Mac n cheese and cornbread were ok. splurged and got dessert: peach cobbler was ok, needed a bit more sweetness. Food made to order. Took 20 min. Would go back and try their chicken. Not sure when they have oxtails.

This was pretty disappointing. We went out of our way to give this place a shot. We arrived around 2pm. There were a party of two leaving when we arrived and one other customer there while we were there but there's tons of seating. The "fresh" lemonade was not freshly squeezed. I'm not sure what it was other than way too sweet. Switched it out for sweet tea and that wasn't much better. I prefer more leaves in my collard greens and less stems. The candied yams were not candied at all - just plain sweet potatoes. The fried catfish and fried chicken were fried to order and very good. The shrimp po boy was huge. They just got a little carried away with pickles. Overall, the main dishes were good. The side dishes and the drinks were not my mama's kitchen.....

The food was excellent because it actually came out hot and fresh. The service was top-notch everyone very kind very friendly. I sent back an item and they took it back no attitude or anything which was surprising because that's what most establishments do when you're not happy with something and no fault of theirs. I am not a big fan of vinegar collard greens but my family is the ambience was nice. I would definitely recommend to patronize this business. I believe they're only open from Wednesday through Saturday or Sunday just double check the dates.

Was not disappointed. I highly recommend you give it a try. If you have eaten there, you have already gone back. Chicken was tasty, hot and moist. Waffle had good texture and flavor. Thanks for the service Gwen and staff.Brandon B.

Definitely not my Mama's kitchen ‍me and my husband bought food for ourselves and the family for the first time today everyone was disappointed! The chicken taste like it was fried in burnt grease the sides were very sloppy the food just looked like it was thrown together really quickly. Sorry we won't be going back oh and the woman that took our orders wasn't very pleasant either she had a slight attitude
