Three words: Incredible Fried Chicken!
Just visited this place for the first time and the food is amazing. It's only a block from Chase Field where the Diamondbacks play and they were open until 7:00 pm on the Wednesday that I visited. I visited in the afternoon around 3:30 and it wasn't busy. There were three or four people at the counter and one guy in a booth. I grabbed a booth (very comfy by the way) and was served right away.
Their menu is very basic (main dishes, side dishes & desserts). I ordered the Fried Chicken dinner, which comes with two sides (described below). My beverage: a lemonade. They don't have soda at this restaurant, which was a bummer, but the lemonade is tasty - not too tart, not too sweet.
The fried chicken is the best I"ve had in town. The meal comes with three juicy pieces of mouth-watering chicken and the flavor is the best I've had in valley. This isn't fast food fried chicken. This is fried chicken your mama would make. Yummy!
One of my sides was green beans with potatoes. I've never had this combination of vegetables together before and it was really tasty. I think the green beans were from a can but I'm not sure about the potatoes. Regardless, this was a nice side dish. I put a little pepper on it and I was good to go.
My other side dish was rice with gravy. I guess I'm new to soul food because I've never heard of this combination before either. The rice they use is excellent. I'm not sure what it was but it had a better flavor than Uncle Ben's rice. Some kind of gravy is mixed with the rice and the two together gave me a whole new yummy experience.
I couldn't finish the whole meal and had to get a to-go box. If I hadn't been so full I would have loved to try their dessert of the day, peach cobbler.
I would definitely recommend this restaurant to people. It's really close to downtown Phoenix and the ball park and the food is made with a lot of love, just like Mom would make.
