Where do I even begin? First thank God I found this place on Yelp when searching for a new restaurant. When I saw the pictures I knew I had to go.
This is our second visit to Luella's (first time was a couple weeks ago. Yes it's that good you'll be back too) and excuse my French but holy shit the food is literally so freaking amazing!!! I got the same thing as last time which was the Shrimp and Grits, and my husband got the fried chicken (last time Mac and cheese). We also got the biscuits with jam.
Now I have never in my life ate grits that I enjoyed, but the picture looked so good I had to try. Lord have mercy this is hands down the best meal I've ever eaten! Those creamy grits ,with huge shrimp and Cajun sauce is literally a party in your mouth. It's so good you just want to sing and dance!
My husbands fried chicken was literally the best fried chicken we've ever eaten. How do you get the skin so crispy with the meat so I juicy? Ah! And with the honey? The best you will eat! The collard greens were also absolutely delicious!
The biscuits with jam just melt in your mouth. They are so warm, flaky, and pair perfectly with the tart sweet jam!! The best! They also have the best sweet tea I've ever had!
The service is absolutely wonderful here. The staff is so kind and has always made us feel welcomed. The food is freshly made with fresh ingredients and I can't wait to bring friends and family. You can tell how much love the chef puts into his food and I thank you for sharing it with us!
Officially my favorite restaurant ever!
This is the real deal - top notch Southern cooking with down-home flavor! My wife said it was the best gumbo she's had since we were in New Orleans, and the home-made biscuits recommended by the friendly woman behind the counter were the perfect accompaniment. Another in our party had the shrimp & grits and loved it! I had the fried catfish tacos, which were crispy & delicious! The staff were all so friendly you felt like you were at a friend's house for dinner!
Fantastic recipes! The chicken and waffles were the best I’ve ever had! Crispy chicken with a sweet and spicy glaze exceeded my expectations! I sampled my friends French toast and immediately regretted not ordering my own side dish! They were thickly sliced loaded with flavor! Not to mention the shrimp and grits were insanely well balanced in flavor! Please do not attend I certainly do not want to wait any longer than I do when I visit this amazing restaurant!! 🔥❤️🔥
