    Now THIS is my kind of sandwich - catfish! And sweet corn poppers. Absolutely delicious and will definitely be my new place to frequent

    Oxtail (was a little burnt, but still really good)

    Loved it! They don't have Jamaican food everyday, but when they do, it's definitely worth stopping by. The service was courteous and fast! And most importantly....the food was amazing! Everything was tender and appropriately seasoned! Definitely get a good amount of food for the price paid. Love having another gem of a restaurant in south Phoenix.

    I was in the Tempe area and searched for a place to eat great fried Catfish, and found this gem. I got the #1 combo - 2 fish, 5 wings and 5 shimp. It's a great value. Everything tasted amazing. The owner J and customers were so friendly and great conversations. Thanks guys.

    Great food at decent prices. The manager told me they will be closing at the end of the month, so that's sad.

We made our reservation online and were seated right away, which made for a great start to our celebration. It took a little while for our waitress to come to our table, but the restaurant was very busy since it was the weekend. Once she arrived, she was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout our visit. One thing we really enjoyed was the live DJ, who kept the atmosphere fun with excellent music. We were seated toward the back of the restaurant, which worked out perfectly for our large party and gave us plenty of space to enjoy our meal together. For drinks, we ordered two Bloody Marys, two beers, a mimosa flight, waters, and lemonades. The only disappointment was the Bloody Marys. For the price, we expected them to be garnished with olives and the traditional toppings that usually come with a Bloody Mary. Our table ordered a variety of dishes, including the Cinnamon Roll Pancakes, Chicken & Waffles, Flapjack Tenders, the French Toast Sandwich (served with breakfast potatoes and syrup), Oxtails with Dirty Rice, and Catfish & Grits. Overall, the food was delicious. The Cinnamon Roll Pancakes were good, although we expected a little more cinnamon roll flavor and icing, similar to what we've experienced at other restaurants. The biggest disappointment was the oxtails. While they were flavorful and well-prepared, the portion size was smaller than expected, especially considering the $43 price tag. A helpful tip for anyone visiting with a large group: the restaurant will only split the check into two separate bills, so it's a good idea to bring cash or plan your payment arrangements in advance. Overall, we had a wonderful experience celebrating our sister's birthday. The lively atmosphere, great music, delicious food, and attentive service made for an enjoyable brunch. We look forward to returning in the future. We also learned that the owner has another restaurant called Soulful Tacos, which we're excited to try soon.

    SENTRY - WATCHING RESTAURANTS…read more Mrs. Whites Golden Rule Cafe 808 E Jefferson Phoenix, 85034 The epitome of soul food in Arizona! Home cooking that is so good you want to cry! I've eaten at Mrs. Whites for many years, and every time I want to go back to real southern cooking this is where I come to. Companion and I dropped in for lunch, and there was so much food that we skipped dinner. I ordered the Southern Fried Chicken. 3 pan fried pieces that are juicy and golden brown. For sides I had mixed greens with hot sauce and mac and cheese. The collards were tender and delicious and the mac and cheese didn't even come close fo K..... Dinner. It was loaded with cheese and truly memorable. It also came with a large piece of homemade cornbread with lots of butter on top. Companion ordered the child's plate which is 2 pieces of chicken and and 2 sides. Ordered were cole slaw and mac and cheese. Because we are both diabetics, we both ordered unsweetened tea, but I really wanted a glass of the sweet tea which you get all through the south. We had planned on getting the wonderful peach cobbler for dessert, but we were so full that it would have been impossible to get down. Other items on the menu are smothered pork chops, fried catfish, and chicken fried steak as well as a host of other items. The restaurant recently underwent a complete renovation and it is really nice inside. Lest I forget to mention it, This is a small place that has been here for as long as I can remember. I came to Phoenix in 1965 and have eaten there since then. Highly recommended. 4 stars

Popped in before a Suns game, an easy walk past Chase Field. It was good to get away from the usual pregame options. The place was clean and inviting, and had a little bit of a "back in time" feel without being dated. Quickly and pleasantly welcomed and seated. Then came the hard part, making choices. We had fried chicken and fried catfish, with sides of Mac and Cheese, macaroni salad (yep, Mac two ways), greens and mashed potatoes with gravy. All were great, obviously home made from longstanding recipes. Especially into the greens, which were bursting with flavor. The catfish was delish, and my wife called the fried chicken the best she ever had. Saved room for peach cobbler, which was served smoking hot. The perfect sweet end to the savory meal. Next time I'm all in on pork chops, which looked amazing. And we will come on a Sunday, the only day dressing is available as a side option. If you're looking for a meal that feels like a friend had you over for supper, go here! Thanks Mrs. White's family!

The person managing the front end was very friendly. The on screen menu was clear with color photos and easy to read. Technology was at the forefront with a large screen kiosk and easy payment processing. After choosing our own seating, the food arrived hot and the presentation was great. Every texture and spice was noted. Highly recommend the XXL Combo which gives an official tour of the tastes and offerings. The dining area was clean and simple. There were some minor cosmetic items that needed attention. But nothing took away from the overall dining experience. Great place to eat in or order out.

The Nana's Soul plate used to come with more than two ribs, then it was reduced to two, and now it's down to just one unless you pay extra for another. The plate also used to include all three sides--mac and cheese, collard greens, and beans--along with cornbread. Now you're limited to choosing only two sides, and the cornbread is gone. It's disappointing to see how much the restaurant has declined since the beloved Nana passed away. I hate to say it, but I won't be returning.

The hostess and the waiter were amazing. We had the pleasure of talking to a cool gentlemen who was a cool native of Phoenix. I traveled from Tucson and wanted to give this Diner a try. Overall I would give this place a 3/5 stars. Huevos rancheros- disappointed it wasn't the traditional salsa bandera (onion, tomato, Jalepeno) but it was good. Different twist with the rib with eggs. The chips were soggy when I got my food. I liked the red onions, it added a little kick to the food on top of what the food offers to begin with. 6/10 Eggs over medium- not too runny how I like it. Velvety, the eggs weren't burnt crispy and was delightful. Meat was umami, savory and tender. Different than what I expected, had a little kick of spice. Beans were dry and bland. Not very impressed. 3/10 Pancakes were okay. A little dry for my taste but they were fluffy. The syrup with it was tasty. 5/10. I enjoyed this restaurant but I think it was a bit pricey for everything we ordered.

From the moment we stepped inside, the intimate ambiance and warm service set the tone for an unforgettable evening. Each course was a thoughtful journey through seasonal flavors, beautifully plated and perfectly paced. Standouts were pork cheeks that melts-in-your-mouth. The cocktail and wine that we took were spot-on, elevating each bite and adding another layer of indulgence. The chef's passion clearly shines through every dish, and the attention to detail, from the local ingredients to the printed menu, made the experience feel extra special. It's rare to find a place that so thoroughly delivers on its promise, but this little gem exceeded all expectations. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommended for food lovers looking for something intimate and exceptional.

Our first visit to The Larder and the Delta made us feel that many of the aspects of Binkleys that made a meal there so special are still accessible. Chef Stephen perpetuates the spirit of Binkleys. The tasting menu deconstructs and reassembles familiar and unexpected ingredients into unique plates. The menu seems to change frequently. The Cod Cheeks and Wagyu Short Ribs were favorites during our menu. We were able to enjoy cocktails and two plates outdoors before moving to the dining room for the rest of our meal.
