Momma’s Kitchen

A nice addition to the neighborhood of Waters Avenue and 37^th. A very nice lady greeted us and showed us what she had available on the hot line for lunch. Choices includes Fried Chicken, turkey legs, smothered pork chop, Salisbury steak, pigs feet and more. Side options for the meat-​and-​three were corn on the cob, Mac-​n-​cheese, candied yams, beef rice, white rice, collards… maybe more. We got the Salisbury steak, which was well-​prepared and tender with a light but delicious gravy. We both liked the Mac-​n-​cheese. It is the baked variety, nice cheese taste but not greasy, with the pasta well-​cooked but not mushy.
The beef rice was a yummy surprise! Not sure what is in it but it was flavorful with visible beef and flecks of sauteed green peppers. The rice was long– grained and again not greasy, as some rice dishes can be. The fried chicken was delicious, with nice flavor and juiciness. The candied yams were very good, unusual with notes of fruit but not too sweet (no marshmallows here!) Good cornbread accompanied each meal. The price was very fair for the amount and quality of the food. The location is the former Kickback. Cool orange building with curved glass windows in the dining room. They are open for breakfast too. This type of soul food/​home cooking is often very salty and greasy but that is not the case at Momma’s Kitchen! We will be back, soon and often.
