We weren't sure we were in the right place when directions took us into the parking lot of a liquor store. Mo P's is near the back of the building. We were the only people who ate in the dining room while we were there, but they do a conservation amount of carry out orders. The collard greens, potato salad, and baked beans are all outstanding. The chicken strips may be frozen, but their fried chicken is stellar, and the perfectly seasoned skin stays crunchy. I have a lot of leftovers for lunch tomorrow from a two piece dinner. I recommend finishing with the sweet potato pie, but I've heard the lemon pound cake is excellent too. I can't wait to come back!! read more

I picked up takeout for lunch while at work and it was exactly what I needed for a cold spring day. The collared greens were melt in your mouth and each chicken tender was HUGE. Even though I was in a hurry, the woman working at the counter was SO nice and hospitable. I'd like to order from them again, everything was fresh and really flavorful! read more

Mo P's - Chicken Tender Dinner - Soul Food Near Me - Ypsilanti, Michigan

It was a little too empty when we came in and we got concerned. That soon changed as the smile behind the counter started shining! We ordered a few items and then waited for our goodies to get prepared. Folks streamed in after waiting for a few minutes, and after noticing not only the homemade cakes, but I asked about the barbecue sauce and was told it was homemade as well. We immediately ordered the rib tips and a slice of pineapple coconut cake. The food was made to order, and the service was excellent. We will definitely be back. read more

Came from Detroit to have lunch with my sister this is one of her favorites places to go eat. I had to try..... she got catfish like always and I got the pork chops when I say sooooooo good I see why she keeps coming back. The sweet potatoes was on point I would say that the Mac and cheese could use more salt but I understand why they didn't you have to think of everybody and they did. Oh and my baby boy had chicken tenders and fries good job!!! I will be back read more

We used MoP's to cater an event for us. They delivered on time, and the food was absolutely delicious! Definitely recommend!

Came 45 minutes to check this place out because I liked the way the chicken looked in the photos and they had nice reviews. I got 45 bucks worth of food. Whiting and chicken was pretty, but way to salty. The greens were really good cooked to perfection. The mac and cheese was bland, but had a really strong garlic taste. Never seen anyone put garlic in the Mac and cheese... I was really disappointed in the mac and cheese need more cheese. My wife said the yams were just ok need more sugar. The pound case was the best part of the meal it was delicious. I still may come check them out again , I'm fair I always give a second try. read more

We ordered here as part of a school fundraiser - so glad we did! It's a bit of a trek for us from our house, but we'll definitely be back. Well cooked, perfectly seasoned, and friendly staff. A+ We had fried chicken, perch, greens, Mac and cheese, beans and rice, cole slaw, yams and corn bread. It was devoured and the few pieces of leftover chicken were still amazing the next day cold read more

Fish is crazy good, fried chicken, yams and cornbread is amazing. Small mom and pop restaurant. Cooked fresh right while you're there. Call before you go to make sure it's open. read more

If I could give this place 10 stars I would! All the food is delicious and homemade. They have the best soul food I've had around here hands down! The service was also great. I recommend them to anyone read more

The chicken is good. But I really come here for the poundcake. Decent service. I definitely recommend Mo P's!

We've tried everything there, but basically the pork chop sandwich ..,,and it's been awesome. Can't wait to go back and try it!! also highly recommend the lemon poundcake and the Kool-Aid. Lol. read more

Best chicken and fish in Ann Arbor and Ypsi, no one compares. Everything is always steaming hot and fresh as can be... a lot of these chicken and fish places the fish stinks like rotten seafood. Not Mo P's, these guys always got the freshest products. Service is top notch also. Can dine in if you'd like also and they have a nice small seating area. Also have pac man multi game unit for the kids and big kids. Definitely check this place out! read more

It's been a while since I visited Mo Ps, and I was sure glad to see that they were still open for business after the pandemic destroyed so many small businesses. As always, food was amazing, service is great and the place is clean. I'm picky about public bathrooms, but their bathrooms are always clean and well stocked with soap, tp, and even hand lotion! If you like comfort food, I highly recommend this place. #supportblackownedbusinesses read more

This place is so good! Everything is fresh and made to order. I've had the catfish and the chicken (breast and thighs) and both are great. The chicken is so Juicy and has a ton of flavor. As for sides, I usually go for the fried okra and the red beans and rice but the mac and cheese and greens are also pretty good. Highly recommend! read more

Home made batter recipe and family run. Solid place that I would definitely come back to. They were out of the mac and cheese at 6 that day so it is a side I will try next time. Friend had a three piece with fries and collard greens. Both sides were good. I wouldn't say it is a best fried chicken I have had but for a family operated business and at a casual setting setting it is a great value and good meal. read more

Yum, yum, yum! I haven't had fried chicken in many, many years because it's never been good enough to waste the calories. Not any more! Oh, my! How tasty! Mouthwatering spices. The skin was heavenly! I never eat the skin because it's usually so greasy and chewy. Not here! It's crisp and just so delicious. The meat is juicy and flavorful. My eyes widened as I ate it and told those around me how amazingly delicious this fried chicken is! Today I stopped and got the catfish sandwich. It was also just as delicious - light dusting of fried coating and moist & perfect filets. Now I have to decide between the fried chicken and catfish next time. Never mind. I'll have both. This is seriously delicious food!! Highly recommend you try this place! Did I mention how affordable it is, too? read more

If you're looking for a better soul food spot just stop you're already here! I wish I had a picture to post but I dug in so fast! We got the catfish dinners as well as the fried chicken all cooked and seasoned to perfection! The sides are amazing and we can't forget the cornbread . If I could give 10 stars I would! I literally made myself over eat because I just couldn't put down the fork! Thank you MO P's for great service and delicious food read more

The food was not good at all! I read the reviews and was hopeful. The Mac n Chz was tasteless. After adding salt and pepper, it was salvageable. Someone mentioned their homemade batter in another...that was a fail. The chicken had no seasoning. I slathered it in hot sauce. Now the collards were decent. Definitely not ordering from here again. read more

I'm definitely pleased with the service. I was serviced in a decent amount of time and politely. It beef m definitely made me feel nostalgic walking in. They were out of collard greens when I placed my order, so I'd definitely get them next time. The Mac and cheese and yams were solid. Three Mac and cheese could of been seasoned more, but I understand as a restaurant treating different pallets you have make food pleasing to everyone, not one person specifically. The chicken was good. It also could of used a bit more seasoning, but it was still good. I'd definitely recommend the catfish. That was the best thing I had in the meal. It was fried perfectly and well seasoned. I'd go back for when I'm in the mood for comfort food. read more

Loved their fried chicken. Only thing I liked more was the super pleasant ladies who made sure the food was great.

Best fried chicken I've had in Ypsi/Ann Arbor area. And it's not really close. Fried perfectly with the chicken still being tender. The yams are definitely worth trying out if you like em a little on the sweeter side. Perfect for me, but tastebuds/how you grew up eating them differ. The greens are solid, but I like to add a little hot sauce for added heat and flavor. The red beans and rice are also a good side to try out. A little more mashed than I was used to, but they didn't let me down. Lastly, give the cornbread a shot. Slight crumble, but perfect consistency if you're used to a little butter in it, not just on top of it. read more

Okay, so we went yesterday and my husband was completely turned off from soul food after another spot in Ypsilanti let us down (hint: starts with a C). After reading the reviews we had to check it out. The place is a bit of a hole in the wall joint; I would not eat there as it smells like they cook there (not dirty but oily and I'm sensitive to smells). However I can't fault the authentic feel of a kitchen well used. That aside; the FOOD Is AMAZING and the cook/owner/cashier is friendly, helpful, and smart. We instantly felt at ease with the decision to try the food. We ate greens, red beans, and rice, Mac n cheese, chili cheese fries, chicken, catfish, and cornbread. All was amazing. The greens were my favorite and my husbands was the mac n cheese. Prices were super reasonable and everything was made for us right then. This really redefines restaurant food that stays under heaters or in the freezer. I was having flashbacks of Sunday dinners. It did take a while to cook so order ahead but truly it was worth the wait. :-) Will go back and rave about this spot to everyone I know. read more

Coming from the South, my husband and I were looking for true southern style fried chicken and fish and Moe P's is the real deal. Their okra is really good too and the food is cooked fresh to order. We will be back!! read more

The tilapia meal is probably the best tilapia I've ever had. Sides and desserts have all been just as tasty. Definitely worth a try

We're happy with the 3-piece chicken dinner, a catfish dinner, and a side of fried okra! Tasted like all the fried things were cooked to order. Travelled home well with the steam keeping the bread soft and the bread absorbing the steam to keep the fried food crunchy. Glad we tried most of their sides! Personally, I think it would be hard to make a bad choice at Mo P's because it all satisfied. read more

Mo P's has the best fried chicken we've found in Ann Arbor / Ypsi so far. We've loved everything we've gotten. Collard greens, candied yams, peach cobbler, dressing and gravy.... all fantastic! read more

They have really good food with excellent service. I will be ordering again.Theres nothing like good food served in a timely fashion

WOW! Absolute best soul food around by miles, am so mad I didn't try them before. Had whiting dinner with yams and greens, thighs and wings of chicken and a piece of the lemon pound cake. It was just the best - Fish was well seasoned but not over breaded, the chicken was beyond reproach moist and juicy, crispy, not greasy at all. I can't wait to try other stuff like smothered pork chops and the rice and beans. The sides were excellent. By the way, you can get delivery with DoorDash. read more

The one star is not a reflection on the food, but rather due to a strange non-experience. I wanted to give this place a try, since it's basically in my backyard, and I love well-executed southern food. I went out to grab a couple snacks from the neighboring party store (Buster's), and out front there was a chalkboard sign for MoP's. I was triggered. Everything sounded delicious and I was planning to order some fried chicken, a chili dog, mac and cheese, and okra. In my mind, this was about to be an epic lunch. So I walked in. Ghost town.... There were no patrons in the restaurant and not an employee in sight (even though the door dinged as I walked in). I figured my timing was bad, so I stood around for a few minutes. Then, I saw a sign at the counter that said "cash only." I don't carry cash. Who carries cash in 2015? But hey, I can roll with the punches. Buster's has an ATM. so I went and grabbed $40 bucks and returned to MoP's. Still utter silence (except for the door ding). I waited about five minutes before I grabbed a takeout menu and walked out. At least the takeout menu still smells of dirty fryer oil. I can sniff it and pretend I'm eating some greasy goodness. read more

Went in for lunch the other day and had a fabulous time. Mo P's is a local soul food shop with a real community feel. As a vegetarian I had some collard greens (I let the meat stock slide) with a slice of cornbread and a nice creamy home style mac & cheese on the side. All of which were delicious and really enjoyed my lunch in the laid back restaurant space. People were flowing in and out for lunch, most getting the special(s) or asking about the red hots. My friend had been in a bit before and reported that his experience was excellent, the perfect amount of butter and brown sugar on the yams and the greens weren't loaded with bacon or bacon grease. I kept eyeing the pound cake for dessert... and know that next time I'll be getting some as well as trying out the yams and okra. read more

This is the best catfish Ive ever had. That breading in insanely tasty.Their sides take me back to Thanksgiving dinner at my grandmother's house. I tell everybody about this place. I'll update my review after I've tried the chicken. read more

Ran in after I stopped at stadium cards and comics in the same strip. I walked in on a whim and a whiff of the delicious fried chicken smell coming out of the restaurant. I stuck with my nose and got the two piece chicken lunch special, but I got it with white meat instead of the dark. Let me tell you, it was a good decision. I got a breast, a wing, and some french fries. The wing was pretty good but the breast was absolutely phenomeal. The seasonings went perfectly the the greasy, fried to perfection chicken meat. The breast was also huge and very much worth the measly $5.99 I paid for the meal. My only complaint is the fries seemed to be light on salt, but otherwise they were solid. I'll absolutely stop by again. read more

Food was amazing!! So fresh and flavorful. I've gone 2 days in this week , about to make it three lol. I get 4 piece chicken with collard greens & Mac and Cheese. No complaints at all! Highly recommend this soul food restaurant. read more

Delicious! Had the whiting, was good. Fried okra was delicious and very clearly hand battered and homemade. Chicken was amazing. Greens were great. Beans and rice also good. Mac and cheese not bad. Definitely will be back! Look forward to trying some homemade cake as they were sold out. Very excellent service. Staff friendly. read more

Good food! Everything is always fresh and there are tons of options. I love the hush puppy balls.

Loved Mo P's. The food was fresh and the people were friendly. I'll definitely be back!

This restaurant is fairly new and I know often times new "mom and pop" restaurants take a minute to gain a reputation . That being said I have to say that the food is great. The chicken mmm. The fish I asked for it fried hard and it was delicious. But I'm a sucker for great pound cake. The pound cake brought back memories of my grandmother's recipe. I walked in and it was very clean and better looking than other businesses who have previously rented that space. It is kind of off of the road but well worth it. Close to WCC and St Joe's hospital and not far from my home. I'm all about supporting great small business! I will be back! read more
