I feel like I have to give this place 5 stars. The food is 4 to 4.5 (so far) but the fact that it's…read moretiny, local, family run, everything made from scratch just pushes it up that extra notch. Chicken fried chicken was juicy and properly seasoned and the best we'd ever had. Ditto for the green beans and the okra. She wouldn't tell us what she puts in the green beans, but it's some combination of bacon grease and magic, I swear. The okra was fresh cut, fresh battered, fresh fried, unlike every other place I get it where you can tell it's out of a bag. Hot water cornbread was ah-mazing. I only wish I had honey to slather on it along with the butter. White gravy was fantastic, with just a hint of sweetness we couldn't quite put our finger on. Chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes were delicious, but also the only things I can say were on par with some of our other favorites. Prices are extremely reasonable. And the service is as down home and personal as you would expect at a place like Sylvia Mae's. But don't expect quick delivery of your food. Everything is made to order and it takes time, so settle in and be patient. We will definitely return here as often as we can when we are in the area.

Occasionally you stumble upon something truly special. This unassuming small business is exactly…read morewhat you want it to be. It is a meeting place, a comfort zone, a haven of good nature and community. The food is simple and good. The person providing the food is honest and real. This establishment is a lifeline of stability in an otherwise downtrodden neighborhood. THIS is the reason we have yelp...to discover and highlight businesses that actually deserve recognition. Sylvia Mae's is all of these things and more. Go visit...manage expectations and enjoy the moment. There aren't many places like this left.

We were there after the lunch rush and staff were starting to leave for the day - they were parked directly in front of the restaurant/door. It may not seem like much to an able bodied person but I had my disabled mother and walking the extra few feet was a struggle for her! It's not a big parking lot, the least the staff could do is park to the side. Will not be back.

We have been a few times and had to get the Gumbo every single time because it's so good! Tonight we ventured out a little and tried some of their other menu items. WOW. They had two specials tonight and they were just as good as the Gumbo! I got a boudin corndog (who would ever think to make a corndog out of a boudin link...but they did!) It was amazing! We also got the PopPop Special which included 2 fried baby back ribs, 2 fried fish filets, 2 boudin balls and a nice helping of fries. It was so much food we couldn't eat it all between two of us. Everything they fry has a beautifully seasoned batter that is full of flavor but not overly salty or spicy. We also HAD to get the chicken and sausage gumbo because...GUMBO! It's loaded with meat, the roux is perfect and the spice level is just enough to make your taste buds wake up and say hello! Super friendly people run this place, so that's an added bonus to their amazing food! I would say we will be regulars here, but we already are! See y'all again soon!!
