Food was great. I got two different types of meat. I tried to beef patties with gravy also fried chicken with gravy and I had total oat three sides, mac & cheese, collard greens, mashed potato gravy and cornbread on top and all of this cost me 19 and some change, amazing food and definitely underpriced

Alma Jean’s Southern Kookin was just what my soul needed this past Sunday. I ordered fried catfish filets, squash, green beans, and greens with jalapeno cornbread. Every bite was delicious. I even had enough to bring home and enjoy for dinner. The sweet potato pie was delicious. The sweet tea was pretty good, too. 10/10 recommend

First time visitor, found them on google. Went on a Thursday afternoon around 2pm. They were out of the Mac n cheese and mashed potatoes which would have been my go to sides, so I got yams and squash with meatloaf. Everything was delicious! 10/10. I wish they were in Memphis. They would definitely have more business out there because they can cook. The best yams and meatloaf Ive ever had from a restaurant. The meal was very filling as well. Anytime I pass this area this will be my go to spot.

My boyfriend and I stopped here on the way back to Memphis. My boyfriend got the baked chicken, Mac n cheese, corn bread, and mashed potatoes. I got the fried chicken, Mac n cheese, yams, and corn bread. The baked chicken was the best chicken I have ever had. The fried chicken was not good, I think they may have over cooked it. Sides: Mashed potatoes: average Mac n cheese: pretty good. Yams: pretty good. Cornbread: dry. Overall I would come back just for the baked chicken.

Enjoyed my meals here. It's like a Cafeteria style set up. Was seasoned good. The Neck Bones were a little salty for my taste. The place is cleaned and staff are friendly. Overall it is a good Soul Food place...
