8-30-2023, another wonderful fried catfish plate with take a car and house salad. My guess had the daily special white beans with okra. Delicious as can be. Great food, good prices.

Fantastic little place featuring Southern cooking. May not be the current title holder for best chicken around but they have to be close. We had a taste for chicken but lots on the menu that caught our eye. We just beat the rush because it was very busy after we sat down.

Okay so overall worst bread pudding I ever had it was dry in spots tasted like condensed milk and was still soupy. The fried fish has no flavor what so ever besides grease there was one lonely fry under my fish, my side ceaser dressing container had a drop of dressing the salad was literally lettuce and 7 croutons. I just expected more seems like others liked the place

Hands down the very best fried chicken we found anywhere in the south! An absolutely MUST destination place, even if it’s out of your way. Portion sizes are large, chicken is out of this world, and the customer service was incredible. If I could give this a 100 star, I would. We traveled by car for just over a month and without question, this was one of our very favorite meals and hands down, the best fried chicken we’d ever tasted! They deserve my highest recommendation and I am confident that you’ll love them too!

We were told this was the best fried chicken around so we had to give it a try. The chicken tasted fresh out of grandma’s kitchen! The bread pudding was just the way we love it. The praline topped Cheesecake was just as wonderful. Their fries were even wonderfully seasoned and was a nice change to just regular fries you buy at most places. Give them a try!

Excellent locally-owned diner. The lunch special was meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and green beans. I got grilled chicken breast, mashed potatoes, a caesar salad, and a side of entertaining conversation with my fellow diners. It’s not fancy, but it’s good food for a fair price, with good service, and a friendly atmosphere. Recommended!

“I recently dined at Fiorella’s in New Orleans and let me tell you, it was an absolute pleasure. From the moment I walked through the door, the service was top-notch. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure that my dining experience was nothing short of perfect.

Updated review: Of course I’m back home getting my Fiorellas fix! I remembered to take pictures this time too. Fresh, hot and delicious every time. Love, love, love the White chocolate Bread Pudding.

We loved this cafe! It’s a quintessential “hole-in-the-wall” joint. You can’t beat homemade food! It was like eating at Grandma’s. Our table ordered fried chicken, spaghetti, a burger, and the muffuletta. All of them were SO good– the fried chicken blew everything out of the water! The portions were HUGE–Southern cooking at its finest!! I wish the red beans weren’t only a Monday menu item, as I would have loved to have some. Worth the stop! Indoor dining was available…I’d come here often if I lived here!

When you are a tourist and go to any city or town. You eat where the locals eat. This was the place to be. The fried chicken was out of this world, fried to order, crispy, hot, and juicy. The catfish Po’Boy was excellent, hot, crispy, and very tasty. The service was with a smile, and fast. When ordering the fried chicken please be aware to wait 20 minutes.
