| - As we were on our way to the local Tennis facility in Surprise, both my wife and I were once again faced with the quandary of what to have for dinner.
She pulled out her trusty yelp app, and found us this gem of a restaurant on Bell Road, right off the 303.
This establishment is located within a cluster of other restaurants on the North side of Bell Road and 152nd avenue.
Although Surprise is not often know for its extensive cuisine offerings, we were really looking forward to partaking of some Southern cooking. A quick perusal of the Yelp reviews yielded generally good (4 star reviews).
So, here we were, trying to decide what would provide the best overall sampling of their offerings. I ordered the Southern Fried Chicken with Fried Cabbage and Okra. I love okra, and always choose it as a side whenever the opportunity presents itself.
My wife ordered the Fried Pork chop, along with the Mixed Greens, and the Yams.
When our food arrived, the first thing we noticed was that our meat selections were lightly breaded, with no overflow of grease. Now to some, this may be an affront as I know that some prefer an overly greased Southern dishes.
However, that was not our preference, and the overall presentation of our food was wonderful.
Speaking of wonderful, the spices they used in their cookery added a great dimension to the meal.
The Pork Chop and the Chicken that we were impressive in both their texture and flavor, and the accompanying vegetables were prepared just right.
Overall, Mom's Fixins provided a wonderful and delicious introduction to Southern Cooking, and pretty much seals the fact that we will be returning should be find ourselves in this area, once again!
