In Short – Hundreds of framed black-and-white celebrity photos fill the walls of this log cabin-like space that's crammed with diners and red-checked tablecloths. Southerners by birth and proxy sip lemonade from Mason jars and hum along to Marvin Gaye as they await huge portions of cast-iron skillet dishes like fried chicken, smothered steak, and chicken and dumplings. Sides include collard greens with a hint of hot pepper, cornbread stuffing and mac and cheese.
Editor's Tips
- Know Before You Go:
- Sorry, drinkers. Aunt Kizzy's doesn't serve alcohol and you aren't allowed to bring your own.
- Save Time:
- Table service is only offered at dinner. At lunchtime, line up at the counter to place your order and always expect a wait.
- Save Money:
- Lunch specials are available for $11.95 and dinner specials start at $13.95.

Never Again
by calideac
BIG drop off since I was last at eat here in '04. Wife and I had the chicken dinner special available Monday nights. My sides where Jaw breaking red beans, over seasoned greens, and mushhhhhhhhhhhhhh yams. We made the very big mistake by adding mac. and cheese to the meal. It was PLAIN awful. The cook must of be a trainee or a wanna be cook. Well the chicken was good. Not a good sign when your waiter (nice man) is the cashier, busboy and he works the cash register. Not a place I need to visit ever again.

Not worth the drive or money
by lost222
My boyfriend and I love soul food and was really excited to try this new restaurant. The atmosphere was nice and resemebled a down south, mississippi feel with low lighting, dark rustic table and chairs and black and white autographed photos of celebrities. I ordered the sasauge with beans and rice with mac and cheese and mash potatoes and gravey. My boyfriend order the ox tail with collard greens and rice with gravey. The food look terrific coming out but turned into an ABSOLUTE DISAPPOINTMENT. The sasuage was average, the beans were overcooked, the mac and cheese tasted like it had been sitting out for a while under a heat lamp and the mash potatoes and gravey was plain. The ox tail was very tender but lacked flavor, the collard greens were OVERsalted and the rice and gravey was mushy. When finished with out meal, we waited to ask for the check. After 20 minutes of no service, my boyfriend got up and walked to the back to ask for our check. This place is not worth trying.
- Pros: Ambience
- Cons: Poor Serice and subpar food
