Fantastic food. Would suggest getting it to go then eat at your favorite shady picnic spot. Had fried chicken which was among the top 3 I've ever had, but at a quarter of the price. Ok, so collards are the Rodney Dangerfield of sides, usually watery over or under cooked nastiness with a back taste of dishrag. These were sublime. Perfectly cooked, touch of pork, touch of pepper, that sweet combination slow cooked to perfection. Get in the car NOW...

Read the reviews and found hard to believe BUT truth is that this place is the Mecca for fried chicken!!! Martha Lou is hands down awesome!!! Chicken cooked to perfection. Mixed with Mac n cheese was spot on !

Great place to get some home cook dishes. I advise everyone to check it out also great coustomer services and all is welcomed.

Possibly the best fried chicken and mac-n-cheese I've ever had.

Rated as best fried chicken... so i gave it a try. Generous portions, ok chicken, but not memorable. Place is a dive, for sure and can use some image improvements. It could really be something I'd only it had good marketing.

I'm sorry but I have to say my family had a bad experience. We expected to try some good "soul" food, great food, as saying in many reviews. First: there was no "service" at all. We were waiting for our order under rain. There was no menu - only paper sheet with written dishes on the wall. No description, no prices. Meat (chicken) was not bad, may be too salty, juicy, crispy but overall nothing to "rolling your eyes". The same about my wife's fried fish excluding that fact that she got a piece of fish and small piece of chicken)) I understand that cook may have not enough fish but my wife didnt order chicken. That's unrespectful. Sides: backed macaroni - overcooked, white and red rice - just rice, bread pudding - nothing special, lima beans - so salty I couldn't eat it. Sweet tea and lemonade actually were not tea and lemonade but syrups. Tooons of sugar. Couldn't drink it. Our food was packed in a used plastic bag , we found someone's receipt inside)) that's inappropriate.We got a receipt for $30. Can't say thats cheap for food we couldn't eat. And definitely this is not cheap for the simple street food to take-out. I respect kitchen workers, I know that's a hard job, and I hate to leave a bad review but we are very disappointed. If you know WHAT is good food or if you love too cook home - I don't recommend this place.

I heard the food was good. But I didnt try it. To be honest I did not feel safe using my debit card at this location. No a/c inside.

Babyyyyyy when I tell you this food just blessed our ENTIRE SOUL
Awesome fried chicken!! You would pay three times what Martha Lou's charges if you were at one of the "downtown" restaurants and hers is better. Collard greens are sublime, perfect mix of spice and meat all perfectly cooked. Get in the car NOW!

Went WONT BE BACK! The lady with the red head wrap needs check her attitude towards black patrons!! Cause she sure had a different yfor the white ones she grinned with a enthusiastic attitude for them,but for her people she had a inpatient, rude disgusting attitude. Can't even give a fair view on the food because ive lost my appetite!! Gave 2stars cause I can't eat food right now.

Martha Lou wasn't there during my visit; but her daughter Debra is following in her footsteps! When she told me my fried chicken would take 20 minutes to be ready I knew it would be awesome...and it did not disappoint!! I'd talk about the collard greens and cooked cabbage but it's better to let you dream about it...plan to stop every time I visit the area.

Came highly recommended and did not disappoint! Food was great tasting, and plenty of it! A charm all of its own!
