Down Home is one of those little hidden gems you stumble across by chance. My family and I were lured in by the phenomenal smells drifting through the shopping center. The dining room was cozy, and we were greeted with a warm “welcome home”. As is our tradition in new restaurants, we each ordered a different dish to share. Absolutely NOTHING was less than phenomenal. The fried chicken was juicy inside, crisp and savory outside. The waffles were light and fluffy and buttery. The blackened shrimp and grits were very nearly a spiritual experience. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender. And the cornbread was moist and crumbly and sweet, easily the best cornbread I’ve eaten in years. The staff were attentive and friendly but not invasive. My only regret in this entire experience is that I didn’t find them sooner. I can’t wait to go back!
Omg the best food ever I travel from Fredericksburg Va to check it out.I must say the must tasting, fresh well seasoned soul food I ever had and I’m being honest ..I love me some good food and the portion of it was amazing I be checking spots out…Very amazing restaurant and the customer service was outstanding very attentive very nice people awesome atmosphere. I will be back very soon. Thank you so much. Me and my family really enjoyed ourselves. The pork chop and gravy meal My daughter had the waffle and chicken. My niece had chicken wings meal the cornbread was amazing the greens and rice and gravy and french fries
I have tried most of their items on their menu after a few visits. Their kryptonite items are their wings, the cheesecake and their catfish. I love going to this place to eat. Atmosphere is very warm and welcoming.
This was our fist visit and it was fantastic. The best was the shrimp and grits followed closely by the fried catfish. Next time we come up from Florida we will absolutely visit again.
Excellent service

Absolutely delicious! We ordered the Chicken and Waffles, Fried Catfish and Grits, Shrimp and Grits. Best catfish and Shrimp and Grits we’ve ever had hands down. Everything was so flavorful and well seasoned. Friendly service. We will be back!!

Catfish was very tasty but borderline salty. Green beans taste like salty water and the potato salad is just horrible, can’t even stomach it. I will leave another review at a later time regarding the red velvet cookie that I purchased as well.

I recently stopped by Down Home Comfort Cafe and tried the turkey wings, cabbage, and salmon. The turkey wings were amazing super tender and packed with flavor. The cabbage was really flavorful . The salmon was on point too perfectly grilled. Everything was super flavorful . This place that really knows how to do comfort food right. Definitely recommend checking it out.

Recommended dishes: Smothered Pork Chops
The place is super cute, but extremely small. The food was horrible and disappointing. I ordered the 4 count wings, smothered pork chop, Mac and cheese, green beans, and potato salad. The chicken wings were a little raw and needed further cooking when I got home. The pork chop was tough and did not come with enough gravy. The green beans were the best of all sides. The Mac and cheese was so dark, clumpy, and lacked flavor. The potato salad was soupy, gritty, and needed more mayonnaise as it looked clear. I will not recommend this place as the food is not great and the prices are extremely high since meats and sides are sold separately.
