Great food! We stopped in for breakfast it was so good had to come back for the fried catfish for dinner the same day! The service was excellent very personal and friendly. The ambiance is relaxed and comfortable. I can't wait to come back and try something new. read more

Found this place close to Jerry's Art o Rama and decided to give it a try. Wasn't particularly easy to find even though it was located close by. So for what it's worth, they're located in basically the same building as Dunkin Donuts, at NE corner of Rural Rd. & E. Minton Dr. There's a light where you can turn. Heads up, parking lot is relatively small and there's a drive thru near entrance/exit which adds to congestion. I will say what a pleasant surprise their menu presents. Certainly not the typical options. Gizzards. Kool-Aid. Perch. And then there are the Happy Hour and Reverse Happy Hour, Weekend Specials, Karaoke on Tuesdays, did I mention Breakfast & Brunch options. We opted for the 2 chicken breasts and the 3 piece shrimp. Our server was sweet, attentive, and familiar with the menu. She provided clear and concise answers to my questions. She even gave an ordering option for the level of fried (extra crispy?) when the Catfish was ordered. Our beverages were refilled in a timely manner and she checked on us a few times to see how we were doing. Once again I skipped the gizzards, but I was tempted again. Decided our meals were likely more than enough. Spacious dining area, warm decor, televisions displaying scenery around the world, and of course there's music. We had plenty of time to spend catching up on Social Media because it took quite a while for our order. There is no doubt when your meal arrives that it was cooked to order. When our food arrived we weren't disappointed. They may not be fast but the food is fantastic. Delicious, crispy, lightweight batter on everything I've tried. Today I selected the Perch and Dark meat entree with coleslaw. Delicious, but I couldn't eat it all. My son went with Catfish & Shrimp small order with potato salad. He told me the Catfish is one hundred times better than another place where he's ordered it. All fantastic. I'm talking so good, we will be back. read more

We came here for breakfast and while they were out of a few items we still found some delicious entrees to get. I had the catfish and grits. It was a huge piece of catfish with a crispy crunchy outer crust and very tender fish. The grits were plentiful and buttery. The tables were a little dirty when we sat at our table but our server prompty came over to wipe everything down. Service itself was very friendly and on point. read more

Wanted to like it more but...here goes. Mild sauce wasn't hittin' at all. Not to mention there was barely any on the chicken! One wing had absolutely none on it!! None on the bread either! Chicken was just...ok, but I was hungry. Wife liked the pizza puff tho. I dunno. Customer service was okay. Seemed like nice people but I couldn't get past the sauce. May try it again if I have to pick the kid up from school, but I don't know. Never made it back to Harold's after their grand opening after being disappointed! Was really looking forward to that mild sauce...smh. read more

My brother-in-love searched 'Soul food from a Black-owned restaurant' and we found George's...and what a find it was! I was worried upon entry when we only saw a couple of folks dining but this spot did not disappoint. Great food. Great service. Great location and plenty of space to spread out. Our crew ordered fried chicken, catfish, perch, shrimp, okra, fries, and potato salad. And it was all delicious. Freshly prepared and had us licking our fingers. Get both the hot and mild sauce. Warning. You get potato salad or coleslaw as an option but only a teaser size. The potato salad was so good, we ordered a larger size to share. They were all out of beers and didn't have any banana pudding...not sure if this is a thing or if it was just a busy day before we got there midday Saturday. With that said, we are all looking forward to returning soon! Oh. Yea...also great music! read more

I was finally able to make it in to check this place out and eat. I got here at 3 and Brunch just ended so I'll have to come back for Brunch. So I looked at the All Day menu and decided to try the Catfish and Wings combo with a sweet tea. The customer service was nice and attention to detail was good. The food took a little longer than I expected but that means it was fresh so no big worries. Catfish and chicken was fresh and crispy and flavorful. With that mild sauce it went up a level for sure. I was disappointed in the portion size of the potato salad side because it was really good. Overall I liked it and I will be back to check out brunch and Soulful Sundays. The playing set the mood for the meal for sure. Great vibes and good energy from the other customers. Come check it out tell them FoodJones sent you. read more

Being from Chicago I wanted to go support another Chicago business owner. The catfish is incredible .The sauce reminds me of everything about home. The grits are good. Everything was great, place is very nice on the inside. I recommend if you want some good Midwest Chicago, chicken catfish and other soul food you try to spot.

Dec '25 - Recommend: Yes. Presentation: 5/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Efficiency: 3/5 Customer Service: 5/5 Price: 4/5 A converted 'Taco' house, into a Chicago styled, home-cooked, style of food; this place was great! I love walking in and hearing music overhead and it was a R&B-styled, soul-filled set of tracks that brought me back 25+ years to some relaxin-clubbing music; loved it! The restaurant was clean, appealing and decorated with leftover lighting and a wall panel that was pretty cool visually with a short bar and spacious seating. Restrooms were clean and large too. Food was only better by the hilarious titling on the menu. With 'Loaded Big-Ass Biscuits' as an example, you know you need to keep looking around and it doesn't end there, LOL. The meals are made to order so expect a little bit of time to get them out to you but my party of 3 had various breakfasts with a burrito, chicken and fries and I had a type of omelet with seasoned potatoes. I have to say, it was really, really good! Flavor in all meals, the hospitality was wonderful and enjoyed the music overhead. I actually have no idea what I paid but I would absolutely roll back in due to the end product being a comfortable, enjoyable gathering place, with a scrumptious meal with great service. The only thing we noticed and has been previously communicated from the reviews is the 'hand-held' ordering/pay Tablet are still - not working well, kept failing, and our server had to go onto a second one so this seems not to be corrected since it's opened up. That being said, we thoroughly enjoyed the visit, the food was certainly tasty and loved the simple atmosphere. Would like to come back for the entertainment that goes on in the evening and try that out too! read more

My server Shamia was excellent and working hard, waiting tables, making drinks & cleaning up. The tables & chairs are comfortable and they play great music & they have tvs for you to enjoy your time while you wait. The food is a 10 & the Obama cocktail was delicious. I've ordered to go several times this was my first time eating in. My complaint.. there were so many workers standing around talking at the bar and there were dirty tables. Eating your food around tables that have glasses and crumbs on them not cool. This place is great, I just hope they do better because my friends that ate there three weeks ago said the same thing about the tables. read more

Worst experience ever. We were the only people in the restaurant at 7:30 on Friday night which should have been our first red flag and we were not greeted within 5 minutes of entering. Didn't get drinks for over 15 mins. Food took over 40 minutes & came at different times. 3 got their order & the other two in our party waited an additional 20 minutes for their food. Once it finally came it was served with regular fries instead of the sweet potato like they ordered. Waitress had a stank attitude the whole time. Had to ask for one refill more than once. The waitress answered the phone while taking our order. Horrible experience! Food was over salted, only one person in our party of 5 actually liked their food (catfish). It was our friend's birthday so it was super disappointing. Do not recommend. read more

Attended the grand opening at the new location. It was a great time with great service and great food. The owner is amazing. I appreciate his hospitality, upkeep, and receptivenes to customers constructive feedback. This is a well run local restaurant offering fresh food with the Chicago flavors and style, late weekend hours and a hip DJ to bring the music scene to life. read more

The ambience, the service and the food were all amazing. It's nice little chill spot shout out to KK who assisted Us

I stopped by George's Breakfast and Brunch for their grand opening and had a great experience. I ordered the small catfish and shrimp plate, which came with 2 fillets and 4 shrimp, crispy, flavorful, and cooked just right. I paired it with the Orange Line Mocktail, which was refreshing and a perfect complement to the meal. The atmosphere was welcoming, service was smooth, and everything tasted fresh. Definitely a solid spot for brunch, I'll be back to try more soon. read more

Solid food. I saw fried deviled eggs on the menu and never in my life ... I had to try them. I'm pretty sure they are meant to be shared, but they were so interesting--and I am weird, but I like my deviled eggs fresh and warm so this was perfect. I'm always on the hunt for catfish and was torn when I also saw gizzards. It's hard to find gizzards. But catfish was the mission today and it was also tasty. Will hit up the gizzards next time. So what could make it better? The vibe is super chill and laid back which was fine for the afternoon with nothing else going on, but if you are in a hurry - may want to order to go in advance if it's available. I ordered a drink and it was a smaller glass without any offer for a refill so if you are on a budget, you may want to skip the drink. The meal came with a small tub of potato salad which was delish but seemed out of place. The team was friendly and the place was clean - worth the trip! read more

Excellent food service kk did awesome job highly recommend this place for food the best food love the environment

This place was terrible. I'll never EVER come back. No air conditioning in Phoenix, AZ is insane, this place needs to be shut down expeditiously. We waited more than 30 min for a server to even come take our order. Then when we finally did order one of our friends had to cancel their order because they had somewhere to be and we STILL hadn't gotten our food. I arrived here at 1:40 and didn't get my food till close to 3:30. UNACCEPTABLE!! Shut this place down immediately. We had to go get 2 different servers to get our order & they still didn't take it. Also they ran out of certain things and didn't even tell us, and automatically substituted it with nasty ass sweet potato fries! Not to mention they put the potato salad and Cole slaw in a sample condiment cup. Never again. read more

I was missing Chicago fried chicken and this place what just what I needed. It takes some time to make the food but that's why its tastes so good and fresh. I couldn't have been more happier, definitely nostalgic feeling and I will be coming back often. It also a plus that people are friendly and the place is super clean. read more

George’s Breakfast & Brunch - 2 piece white meat with mild sauce - Chicken Wings Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

We went here to support a black owned business and they played in our face. We ordered the shrimp and grits and a mimosa flight ($21) and this is what came out. For $20.50 I expected smooth and creamy grits, well seasoned shrimp, and some type of sauce, all beautifully plated -- not a bowl of grits with 3 pieces of fried shrimp thrown on top. The grits were thick, lumpy, and had no seasoning to it. Seems like they only added huge spoon fulls of melted butter and parsley for "garnish." The shrimps were of decent size, but still didn't make up for how lackluster this bowl of shrimp and grits were. I love supporting black owned businesses, but we have to do better if we want to progress more as a whole community. It starts with honesty....if I could give 0/5 stars I would. Save yourself $50 and go somewhere else!! read more

Stumble upon this restaurant and we are so happy we did. Upon entering the establishment we were greeted so kindly by someone who took the time to answer any questions we had and also made some great suggestions. When the food came out it smelled so good it made us even hungrier. We ordered the fried catfish and jumbo shrimp and we were so delighted because they did it so deliciously. The pieces of fish and Shrimp were huge and extra crispy, yet juicy and not greasy! Simply finger-licking licking good! The gizzards were so crunchy and chewy, just the way we like them. We were suggested to sprinkle the lemon pepper on top (which they get straight from Chicago) and oh boy that was the perfect way to eat it! The side fried okra was huge and everyone loved them. We can't wait to come back and try their chicken because everything we ordered did not disappoint. So happy we found this spot. read more

I was soooo excited to try this new place out and am unfortunately disappointed. We went for a friend's Birthday brunch. It was a group of six of us and we had a reservation, so we're seated immediately. It's in a great location and the DJ was good. We started off with some cocktails that were ok. The food came out at different times, so we weren't able to all start eating together. I'm usually ok with that if it means the food will be hot and fresh. I shared the catfish & grits and chicken & waffles with one of my friends. The grits were luke warm, as you can see in the pic the cheese couldn't even melt. They also were lumpy! I was surprised that for $22 you only get 1 piece of catfish with a bowl of grits. The waffle was delicious and cooked perfectly. The chicken, which we ordered 'fried hard (extra crispy)' was far from that. We had to actually wait for the chicken as another batch was being dropped. The chicken was barely cooked. Our server was great but seemed that she had to help in the kitchen and at the bar, which prevented her from being available. I was really hoping this would be a great experience, as they have some great reviews. I would like to give it another chance as I love supporting small, local, minority owned businesses. read more

Great food. Def gave me a lil taste of Chicago. Shout out to Landi!!! She was EVERYTHING!!

Being from Chicago I was excited to check out the restaurant. I brought some friends with me and it was one of my friends bdays and I have to say this was the worse experience I've ever had. We walked in there was no ac this was yesterday (sat) it had to be about 105 degrees outside. We sat and waited about 30 mins before we had to go find the waitress. Who said she didn't know we were there and that she would go get her notepad and come back she never returned. After another long wait we had to find another waitress. We finally placed our order and it took over an hour and a half to get our food. They ran out of French fries and potato salad and no one told us they just substituted the fries for sweet potato fries. No type of apology or communication. I would have to give this experience 1 out of 10 read more

We should have taken it as a warning when we walked in and saw only one other table occupied. Unfortunately, the experience didn't improve from there. The food was mediocre at best. I ordered a Philly without peppers and sweet potato fries, but it came out with peppers and regular fries. After pointing it out, it took another 30 minutes to get the sweet potato fries--and when they finally arrived, the portion was small, soggy, and still undercooked in spots. The chicken sandwiches were also disappointing: dry and chewy. Service was even more frustrating. We didn't receive any drink refills, and it took 20 minutes just to get ketchup. After our food was dropped off, no one checked on us. We eventually had to ask a different waitress for the check, but she didn't know how to process it. After another 15-minute wait, someone from the back finally came out to help. Meanwhile, our original waitress stood behind the counter waiting on another order and didn't acknowledge us at all. The ambiance was actually cute, which is what made us stay and give the place a try--but unfortunately, that was the only positive. Overall, a very disappointing experience and not one I'd repeat. read more

boss man was absolutely so sweet. we came in really early while they had just started setting up, I felt bad but the boss man was not at all upset with us being there. he offered us to sit where we liked, said hello to our son, and chatted a bit. we ordered the sunshine nachos, the cheeseburger with a kids chicken and waffles, two sweet teas and fried deviled eggs. and just wow!! I can't even explain how good it was. the worker who did my nachos expressed it's never been make before so I was the first one to have it. definitely recommended. was even better with hot sauce. the flavor of the food 10/10 so wonderful. To add It was very calming inside as well they played some old school r&b and jazz like music? I loved it. To be fair there were only myself, my husband and son, with two other customers. So the vibe was calm lol Thank you again to the staff and bossman for a great experience! Expect us back when we can read more

It's got a lot more than Breakfast and Brunch! My friend and I came here for dinner and the food was fantastic. Apparently, the cook that night was new, but they did a great job with the chicken and catfish we ordered.

WTH, this place is amazing!!! First of all their service is warm and inviting. They truly want their customers to have a good experience and were so helpful. I do love fried chicken and it's so hard to find a restaurant that makes it well and they do it just right. They started me off with this deep fried canned biscuit and it was literally the best thing I've ever eaten. I got the half mixed and added a perch fillet. The chicken has a medium thick but still light crust. It is not overly herbal which allows one to grab that crust off the top of the thigh and taste that hallmark caramelized fried chicken flavor. This is exactly what I look for when I rate chicken and this is exactly what you'll taste when you eat here. The fish had that corn meal breading like it's supposed to and tasted wonderful. Lastly, I finished the meal with a dose of tasty banana pudding. Nice!!! I highly recommend this place for all fat people who love awesome fried chicken!!! read more

This restaurant was a wonderful find. We were staying just down the the street so it was convenient but best of all it was clean, service was excellent. I'm from the south so I'm pretty picky about my chicken and catfish and especially my fried okra. I can tell you this was the best we've ever had. So much so we ate there twice in 3 days. I would give them 10 stars! read more

Just had the worst breakfast experience. Sat at the bar and the server was not very friendly. We ordered the steak and eggs and breakfast burrito. They waited 30 min to tell us they were out of steak then tried to give me french toast which is not what I ordered. At that point we just asked for the breakfast burrito to go and it was the greasiest thing and barely any bacon or eggs inside. 0/10 in all aspects. Trying to save anyone from experiencing this as their Saturday brunch. read more

Absolute gem the food was fresh and delicious the mild sauce was on point definitely gave back home Chicago vibes and the atmosphere was cool as well, they also had a DJ in there jamming, If you looking for some real Chicago style food I recommend you try this place you won't be disappointed.
