So my mom, her friend, and I were looking for a place we could get a bite to eat and I search for nearby restaurants downtown and saw this place. My mom said she had always wanted to go here, but never had the chance since they are only opened during the night time. We drive down there and there was no one in the parking lot. My mom went inside and checked to see if they were opened and there was this sweet old lady who was inside and said they were opened. When we go inside it was literally like we were taken back in time like 50 years! We decided to stay just for the adventure. We ordered some Mac and cheese, tamales, and roast beef with more veggies. My mom thought the food was good, they loved the Mac and cheese, but I wasn't too crazy about the tamales sadly :/ We still greatly enjoyed our time there and turns out our server was also the co-owner with her husband there! She had a great story to tell us of the historical figures who came in her restaurant and how she was a hard working lady during times of struggle during the racial divide in the south. She said now she just enjoys serving people food and she will not give up her restaurant to anyone. She was such a wonderful woman with a great story to tell. It was truly an adventure going into this place even though our first impression was super shaky haha. Don't be afraid to check it out if you have the chance! They have great parking too haha. And yes she pushes the peach cobbler! But in a funny sincere way.

I went to Marmalade on Wednesday night. Parking lot was empty and the inside also. We were the only people in the restaurant. It's took a bit of time to get our food but it was good. Nice insides, great prices for the food. And as someone else mentioned they push the peach cobbler. The hostess was constantly checking to see if we need anything else.

This restaurant is downtown, and I had never visited it nor had I really heard anything. I had seen it multiple times and I had always wanted to try it. We were in the area and looking for a place to eat. The parking place we found was right in front, so we decided to give it a try, even though the parking lot was empty. The ratings online are actually 4 and 5 stars. It was also 9pm at night, so it made sense that there wouldn't be a lot of people there. It's a southern eatery, so of course macaroni and cheese as well as spaghetti are considered vegetables. Our server was super friendly. All of us ordered the southern fried chicken. We varied in our vegetables. The server tried hardcore to sell us the peach cobbler. When the first person in our party ordered, she asked if she wanted to peach cobbler. She said maybe after the meal. We were given popcorn while we waited. It was actually a long wait, but it was worth it. I'm sure they literally start cooking after you order. Our server constantly checked on us and kept our pitchers of water full. Finally, our food came out. I ordered a wing and a thigh, and they came with mini cornbread muffins. For my vegetables, I ordered greens and mac and cheese. Of course, someone ordered the spaghetti vegetable. Everything was delicious. I was stuffed after the meal, so I was going to pass on the peach cobbler. However, the server was insistent. She talked about how one time there was a table of 6 and everyone ordered doubles, so they ran out. And another table was jealous. After that, one person in our party decided to order it and we all sampled it. It really was good. The service is really good and the server was really funny, without meaning to be. She was extra careful to make sure that everyone got their order and they we had everything. When she brought us our credit card receipts, she told each one of us how to fill out the receipt. She pointed out the tip line and which copy was ours. What made it funny was that she did it to each of us individually. She was very thorough, but attentive. I definitely recommend this place. It has a nice charm and good food.

Best fresh fried catfish I have eaten in years. three sides including a fine pickled slaw,hot fried okra with an amazing dip,and black-eyed peas with jalapeí±os were included. finished off with homemade peach cobbler. If you love home cooking this is the place for you.
