This family-owned soul food restaurant wins hearts and bellies with its combination of insanely good fried chicken and homey charm. While its now drive-thru only, Mama Reta herself will regularly come out to greet customers or insist someone take home an extra portion of peach cobbler. The food here is all fried to order and just really, really good: the seasoning is perfect, the meat is tender, and the sides are stars in their own right (we're looking at you, braised red beans).
