Mrs White's Golden Rule Cafe

Heard a lot about this place via word of mouth. We placed an order for fried chicken, mac n cheese, and potato salad an order for catfish, mac n cheese, and cabbage with two Kool-Aids. We asked about the cornbread and the lady said it came with the meals. Chicken and Catfish had decent seasoning, barely touched the cabbage (hard), mac n cheese and potato salad was similar to store bought quality, Cornbread was hard (push your finger and it never moved kind of hard). I do not know if we had too high of expectations, we came during a slow time, or the fact that I am from the South, all I can say is we ate here. Outside of the landmark factor, some famous people ate at this place, the artwork on the outside of the building and adjacent buildings was the highlight of our experience. One and done.

If I could give it more stars, I absolutely would! You open the door and immediately know, it's about to go down! The place is small, but the food and service is outstanding. Brian did it all on the front of the house. He was a positive charismatic person. My BFF and I had questions and he answered all of them. He knows people by name! Loved the hospitality! We ended up getting the vegetable plate with a protein. This is the best way to get a sample of allllll their hot sides. Let me tell you... The sides, the sides, the sides. FOR THOSE THAT DON'T EAT PORK OR MEAT-the sides are not cooked with any of that. ???? The sides are full or flavor and I could've easily been satisfied from it alone. You know how sometimes restaurants use the same seasonings for all their food? ???? Not here! Each side had its own flavor. Sooooooooooo good! I had the fried chicken and it was so crispy and juicy! I ate allllll that food. And the sweet tea did not disappoint! This restaurant is a must! Profession

We chose this restaurant due to its proximity to the Science Center and good reviews. 5 adults and one minor in our party we had high expectations. We all ordered Sweet Tea and one Kool-Aid. The tea genuinely tasted like mold. Like it was brewed with pond water. I asked for water instead and i never received it. Unfortunately the energy given by the employees did not make me feel comfortable to say something about to taste of the tea. We all received our food 2 at a time with a noticeable amount of time between each food drop off. Almost like they were making our food one plate at a time. The easiest order at our table, a side of Mac&Cheese was forgotten and we had to go ask for it. Don’t order the chicken sandwich, it’s just two fried legs on white bread. No condiments, no butter or honey for the corn bread. Or if it was available it was not obvious or offered. No refills were offered (not that we would have accepted) The only upside to this experience was the food received was decent
