Mrs. White's Golden Rule Cafe

I discovered Mrs. White's Golden Rule Cafe while in town for a conference. A coworker spotted it while exploring, and after reading Mrs. White's story on their website, we we're very excited to go for dinner, even after reading the mixed reviews. We had a great experience. The service was terrific and the food was great. The building is old and run down, but isn't that what makes a place qualify as a hole in the wall? It has its charms and what it lacks in atmosphere it far makes up for in people and soul food. Give this place a chance!

This place RULES! The food is so good, even 13 years after I left Arizona, this is the ONE restaurant I miss deep down in mah belly and will make sure to go to whenever I visit Phoenix. The chicken fried steak and the pork chops are the best -- smothered, of course. And if they've got peach cobbler, you owe it to yourself to have some!

Food was delicious and our service was awesome this young gentleman by the name of Brian (sp?). I had smothered pork chops (gravy on the side), greens, cabbage, cornbread and sweet tea. My hubby had fried chicken, blackeye peas, greens, cornbread and sweet tea. All was served hot and delicious. However, we thought it is a little pricey. A meal for 2 total price NOT including tip was $58.53.

Brian was friendly, sharp, and accurate with my order. The Chicken Fried Steak rates at the top for me. Great crust, delicious brown gravy, and the beef was tender. I had the greens, and they were good, even without added meat. (I like smoked pork or a smoked turkey leg in there) I am not a cornbread fan, so to me, it was okay. Thanks, Brian!

Fantastic southern comfort food. We had the fried chicken, mac and cheese, sweet potatoes, and cabbage. It was all incredibly flavorful and perfectly cooked. All service was prompt and the food came out much faster than I expected. The staff were very friendly, my picky eaters ate well, it was a perfect dinner. Would absolutely recommend if you're in the area.
