Lots of history here and just really good vibes. Even if you don’t want an order to go, you will go to the counter. They will take your order and bring it out once you have a table. I didn’t come on Monday so I missed the red beans and rice, but more the reason to come back. Hamburger steak was good and the potato salad is next level. Ranch dressing definitely from a bottle and the mashed potatoes had instant potato consistency/ flavor. Overall a great option outside all the tourist areas.

Stopped for lunch and had the 2 piece white meat fried chicken and the meatloaf plate with mashed potatoes and green beans.
Service was great, and the staff was very friendly. Chicken breast was cooked perfectly and the meatloaf had great flavor.
I’ve wanted to eat here since I moved here 4 years ago, but weekends closed threw a little wrench into those plans. So glad I made it in. We will be back. That spice level on the chicken was perfection
Disappointed I didn’t know about the Fried Chicken Skins before paying!
Next time!!

Everyone said how good the chicken was the best place to get chicken, I had never been to the establishment so on my way from buying throws for Mardi Gras I felt like eating chicken so instead of going to Gus or Popeyes, I thought of Fiorella’s since it had so many good reviews and I had never tried the restaurant. Well to say the least it wasn’t a good experience, not with staff but with the chicken, I ordered the 4 piece with mash potatoes and fries, it was about 6 in the evening the restaurant close for 7, so when I received my order the fries where hard and over cooked so the cashier who was for professional and polite asked for fresh fries but my chicken was over cooked also, my breast was very tough, they didn’t dust the chicken so all the crust was in the plate from all the pieces of chicken best thing was the mash potatoes, but in the kitchen cooking look like high school students, who was either ready to close up or don’t really care about the quality of the food! This was a horrible first impression!!!!

Excellent old school Italian sandwich joint. Known for fried chicken & po boys. I got half a muffuletta which was excellent. My wife had the meatloaf daily special which she loved. Highly recommended!

03-11-2024 another great lunch: fried catfish platter with toast, house salad and potato salad. Also, living onions with mashed potatoes and mustard greens. Perfection. 11-15-2023
Another very good meal. Had the liver & onions, mashed potatoes, and very fresh, full house salad. My company had the meat loaf special & mashed potatoes with smotherd cabbage. I’m glad they brought back French bread with the meals. Would have preferred the liver to be thicker, but it was still tasty. I am looking forward to my next visit.
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.
03-04-19 came back today four they’re delicious liver & onions and mashed potatoes. Excellent

Dang, y’all didn’t tell me about the chicken cracklins. Got dinner on the way to the Billy Strings show at the lakefront. I got the Monday red beans special with smoked sausage, it came with choice of a salad and bread, and I got an order of chicken cracklins to share. Y’all keeping it real with those chicken cracklins. Everything was great, this place is an institution. We’re coming back to get a bottle of wine on meatloaf night.

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!
