I’ve gone each day of the week to try multiple specials and it is good every single time. Reminds me so much of my mom’s cooking. That hot water cornbread is like handheld grits — crispy on the outside but slightly creamy on the inside. Love their sides: black-eyed peas, cabbage, greens, pintos. I’m super mad at myself for just giving them a try a few weeks ago.

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.
The menu offers a great experience in a welcoming atmosphere, with plenty of options available. Visitors often feel glad to have discovered this hidden gem while traveling off I-30. One guest returned after years and found the neckbones, cabbage, and mashed potatoes with gravy to be the best meal they had in a long time. Another guest enjoyed the deep fried cheeseburger and fried pork chop, mentioning the fresh corn, green beans, perfect fries, and really good breading. This restaurant is well worth a detour for anyone craving authentic southern flavors, especially on busy Sundays. It truly is food for the soul, creating satisfied customers who plan to return.
