We tried Alma’s after a review from Tik Tok and it did not disappoint! I love that the restaurant is family owned. The server was so helpful and amazing. The fish was cooked to perfection. The macaroni was delicious. I wasn’t the only one who thought so because my husband and I bought the last two. I was craving more . The chicken was crispy and to perfection as well. Even though the chicken and the seasoning of the chicken was good, as a Louisiana woman I wish the cook was a little more heavy handed with the chicken seasoning, but that could be a matter of preference. The strawberry cake and the tropical koolaid were sweet treats. I like how the koolaid was the right amount of sweet and not watery or diabetic coma like. I also had the red beans. The flavor in the seasoning was a nice take on what I’m use red beans tasting like. Because I was so full, I saved some of the red beans for the next day, and they were even better than the first day.The greens and the cabbage didn’t have much flavor which is why the review is a 4 and not a 5. Overall when I visit Compton again, Alma’s is definitely a first stop!

I got the catfish w yams/Mac & cheese. A side of potato salad, A slice of sp pie & strawberry cake. The mac & cheese was the most disappointing thing I’ve ever tasted in my life…. It taste just as bland as it looks in the picture… where is the pepper?? Never thought I’d get non seasoned food in Compton . Yams was the best tasting thing but not amazing. 2 desserts were not good in my opinion. Strawberry cake had really thick dense frosting & SP pie slice was just ok. Let’s not talk about the potato salad…. This is my 2nd time visiting so I know I for sure will not be back which is too bad I love supporting black businesses but it’s too expensive for the product they are pushing out.

Ever since I found Alma’s Place, I’ve been a returning customer. My favorites are the Mac & Cheese, Potato salad, Cabbage, Green beans, Fried pork chops dinner, pork chop sandwich, pork chops lunch special, they carry other items. But these are my go to. Dressing and gravy served only on Sundays, I’m trying next, ppl love ordering it, and they yams. Also next on my list here, trying the Pan Seared Catfish/ with bell peppers and onions.

Customer service was great. I ordered the fried catfish entree. It came with 4/5 pieces of catfish (large pieces) and 3 sides. I got Mac and cheese (very dry not enough seasoning), greens (bland no seasoning at all and it tasted kind of dirty), steamed rice which is regular rice without seasoning (should have gotten gravy) and corn bread( I don’t eat corn bread so I’m not sure how that tasted).
My friend got smothered turkey chops (fire), Mac and cheese (she said it was ok), candied yams (too sweet) and cabbage ( I don’t think she ate the cabbage) and cornbread. She got a fruit punch kool aid or juice whatever it was and I got raspberry lemonade (both were very sweet and syrupy). I only have a picture of mine!

The fired catfish was GREAT. However, the woman taking my order was not very friendly or welcoming. Maybe she was having a bad day. The lady who gave me my order was MUCH more friendlier!!

Alma’s deserves all of their 5 star reviews!! I ordered the Turkey chop lunch special for $15 and everything tasted amazing! I’ve never had a Turkey chop but I feel like it’s a perfect swap out if you’re no longer eating pork! My sides were Mac and red beans and rice, both were delicious! Next time I’m in the area and craving soul food, I’ll come try other menu items!

Very cute inside! Has a cozy, home vibe and very nicely decorated. The employee was a young man who was very nice and patient with customers who had questions about the menu.
I ordered the lunch special. Fried catfish (3 big pieces), Mac and cheese, cabbage, cornbread and a drink for $15. The sides were good but also could’ve used some more seasonings. The catfish was fried a little too much, for my liking, but was seasoned well. They also have a good selection of yummy desserts. Overall I say give it a try, next time you want some soul food. The $15 lunch special is a great deal
