Kitchen 55 Breakfast Lunch Dinner

I've walked by this place hundreds of times over the years and finally went inside this week. I thought it was just a dessert place but was pleasantly surprised they had soul food meals too. I got a platter of chicken, cabbage, and rice and it was extremely tasty. I mixed the rice and cabbage together bc I love a good mix and it was awesome. I also got a slice of apple pie and it was out of this world good.

I tried this place off of TooGoodToGo since it wasn 't too far off the beaten the track for me and the timing fit my schedule. I wouldn 't typically walk into a place so local but not my neighborhood but it certainly doesn 't mean that I shouldn 't. Thank god for online reviews I can read and/or a modern, relevant, sustainable app. I can go in w a more open mind or take a chance on a places that might not normally get my attention because I am not in that particular neighborhood or with local, homey places, it can be hit or miss. This was definitely a hit for me. What I randomly got today is just like their background pic on the TooGoodToGo app. The fried catfish? might 've been a tad salty, but not overly so. Staff is friendly but I definitely stuck out as a nerd. You know just by me entering the restaurant that I am either not local to the neighborhood or I just moved in. This neighborhood has become more diverse, but does Deborah 's get the chance it deserves from its own residents ' diversity rather than just on cliques or niches?My random platter is a typical soul food offering and I somehow just know even though I am by no means an expert on soul food. This classic meal was also well done. I would go back.
