DeBreaux's has been an icon in the community for more than 26 years. The food is tantalizing to the tongue and the desserts remind you of sweet ambrosia, food of the gods. If you're ever in Philadelphia, Pa near 63rd & City Line; The Overbrook Train Station, stop in and be amazed!
I’m new to the area and wanted to try a new place. The woman behind the counter was sweet. Got Salmon and rice with cabbage. Was delicious.

One thing I've learned from going to Debreauxs (Ms.Frances) is that Soul Food is not fast Food..The food is freshly prepared and delicious...most importantly Ms. Frances is not just the owner..waitress and cook...she will tell you like it is and hug and kiss you before you leave...I'm a lifetime customer. You want good food...Motherly Love..and solid advice ..I strongly advise that you stop by.

I absolutely love going here. I came here for sides this time but usually order a chicken wing platter. Ms. Frances treats me as if I’m family- love seeing her. Can’t wait to go back!!!

The water pools outside the building and smells like sewage. It's so bad we don't feel like trying the place. Please fix this for everyone who walks by your store!

If you’re looking for “down home” cooking, look no further. Ms. Frances doesn’t play any games when it comes to her food. My wife and I had flounder and turkey wings platters and they were HEFTY! I couldn’t pick up the turkey wings because the meat just fell off the bone. It was my first time trying this place and I noticed that Ms. Frances had a no nonsense kinda energy that reminded me of my big mama down south. Once I spoke to her, I could tell she had a heart as big as the moon. She said she’s been there for 26 years and I asked how come she still cares so much about the quality of her food; her response melted me… she said each day she opens up the restaurant still feels like the first day so she wants everything to be perfect. May she continue to be blessed as she blesses us with delicious soul food ♥️
Called to order food and the person who answered was extremely rude. Can’t say much for the food but I wouldn’t give my money to people who can’t even be kind over the phone.

If you are looking for real southern soul food, comfort food that will sooth your soul this is your place. I've been coming to Debreaux's for over 20 plus years. I don't mind waiting, I'm never disappointed with my food, platters are hefty fresh and made to order, like I'm in my grandmother's kitchen. "Real food isnt fast food" as stated on the owners indoor sign. I respect and appreciate, the fact that my food is not being rushed and always right. In my opinion this soul food place is the best in the city of Philadelphia.

Called in and placed an order for me and my wife. I asked my wife what she wanted and the woman who answered the phone rushed me and told me Come on, come on.. hurry up as I was asking my wife what sizes she wanted. I wasn't even taking long to place the order at all, it took me about 10 seconds. As I was waiting to hear a total, or for her to ask my name for the order or even a thank you, instead I heard her say, "Black people don't know how to take orders- they be talking to each other while ordering." She must have thought she hung up because when she realized she was still on the phone, she paused then quickly hung up the phone. Whoever this woman is, her rude customer service was uncalled for. Clearly she doesn't appreciate her "black" customers. We decided not to pick up the order at all because of her bad attitude.
