Mother Kelley's Home Cooking serves delicious, true southern cooking, including hot water cornbread, in a pristinely clean dining area. The friendly staff provides great service, making visitors feel like old friends. The restaurant is known for its fresh, scratch-cooked food, which keeps customers coming back. Many guests have praised the hot water cornbread for its crispy outside and slightly creamy inside, comparing it to handheld grits. The sides, such as black-eyed peas, cabbage, greens, and pintos, are also popular.
Even though the menu may be limited, it offers a great experience in a welcoming atmosphere. Visitors often feel glad to have discovered this hidden gem while traveling off I-30. One guest returned after several years and found the neckbones, cabbage, and mashed potatoes with gravy to be the best meal they had in a long time. This restaurant is well worth a detour for anyone craving authentic southern flavors.
