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.

It was pretty packed when I came on a weekend, so I'd recommend reservations. The chicken and waffles were top notch. It was a pretty hefty portion for the price. The chicken was crispy and the waffles had structure. The side of gravy made it a hundred times better. Definitely worth it! The banana bread French toast was ok; nothing mind blowing there. I did have a bite of shrimp and grits and it was melt-in-your mouth oozing with flavor. This was brunch done right!

Such a wonderful dining experience and delicious food!…read more I and two others came on a Saturday morning at 11:15am and the restaurant was almost a full house - thank goodness for reservations. Eric, our waiter, was incredibly attentive despite how busy he was. Empty plates were cleared and waters were refilled in a timely manner. We also didn't have to wait much for our food to come out after ordering. WHAT WE ORDERED - chicken and waffle: I personally didn't order this, although this dish made it to the clean plate club - gulf shrimp and grits: this was beyonddd delicious and flavorful! The grits were so creamy and buttery. It came with a perfect amount of shrimp that were seasoned beautifully, had the perfect texture and bite, and had a nice touch of smokiness from the grill. The sauce and crunchy bacon bits truly brought the entire dish together to form the perfect bite - banana bread french toast: I was told this was alright - gumbo: We ordered 2 cups of these and had it as our appetizer. The gumbo had an abundant amount of chicken, sausage, rice, and the holy trinity. It truly tasted like authentic gumbo Coming from Southeast Texas where Creole food is more accessible, I am sooo glad my brother recommended this place. I am definitely coming back when I need my Creole fix!
