    Smoked chicken, chicken and sausage.

    You don't want to miss this good home cooking. Came to Yazoo City for a High School Reunion and discovered this gem. If we are in the area we will make a detour in the future.

    Great little find! Food is always good. Soul food / home cooking is great & satisfy's the soul. Staff is helpful & friendly. A little hard to find but worth it!

    Driving through MS on the way to Arkansas and decided to give Thelma's Kitchen a try. The food was AMAZING. Meat, 3 sides, bread and a drink. So many sides to choose from we all got different ones and they were all incredible. The fried chicken, baked chicken, and fried catfish were the meats our family chose and everyone ate every bite (and even got seconds on the fried chicken) Everyone there was welcoming and the service was top notch. We got to meet Thelma while we were eating which made the experience even more special. The dining room has plenty of seating if wanting to eat there. They do a lot of to go orders from what we saw while we ate our meal, so calling it in is an option as well. We tried the banana pudding and pecan cake for dessert and they were both delicious. The pecan cake is a must try! We will definitely make this a routine stop when traveling through the area. If you like southern food GO EAT AT THELMAS KITCHEN you will NOT regret it.

    Couldn't find it. Drove around and wasted lots of gas. Wondering if it is closed. No one answered the phone.

    The food there is wonderful! The buffet style service has all options covered. Salad, meats,…read morevegetables, bread, and desserts. Pay as you enter, and then fix your plate! There is plenty of seating, even if you have to sit upstairs. All the staff are helpful and keep your glass full. A trip there will not be regretted.

    The young man at the car rental station said I needed to try this place. He said they were closed…read moreon Monday so I didn't even try to go (I don't think they were closed). I wanted to go Tuesday but coworkers didn't want to go out. Tried to go Wednesday but they were closed for dinner. My flight was leaving later in the day on Thursday and I had to try to go. Online it said they were open at 10 am. I checked out of the hotel and headed to the restaurant. There were already a lot of people waiting for them to open. To my surprise they opened at 10:30. When the doors opened people were "fighting" to get inside. This is a buffet setting. You pay before eating. To go plates are available for purchase. There is an upstairs eating area. I think there were 3 hot stations, a cold station, and a desert station and an ice cream machine. All the food looked so good. I had to get a little taste of everything. The fried chicken and fried chicken livers were Hands down my favorite things. I like greens that are tangy with a little spicy - these were not that. The cornbread was hard couldn't eat it. Everything else was ok. Nothing that I had that "gotta go back for more" feeling (except the chicken). There were so many offerings, and they have Pepsi products. They have a drink station but The servers bring you drinks. I definitely would go back again if I'm in the area.
