Welton Street Café

YES GAWD!   Great Home-cooking.  Brings back memories of the great Soul Food of the South.  Homely look place......nice people.....community oriented (small senior meeting happening at the next table) ---been there three times and the food has been great each time.  Candied Yams, Cabbage and Jerk Chicken--- the Bomb!  Love it.

Today it's pretty darn chilly out.  And I forgot I was supposed to go to the DMV for a client and let my son take the car... So off I went to catch the train to Five Points DMV.  It wasn't a bad day - I only had to wait an hour - but I sure was hungry when I got out! Standing waiting for the train, I look behind me and see "Mona's Wings & Things" and well, lunch won out over getting back to work!

And boy, did I ever make the right decision!  I was looking at the menu thinking "how in the WORLD am I going to decide?"   They have good ol' Southern food AND Jamaican yumminess!  Then the sweetheart of a waitress happened to mention to me that they have brisket today and decision made!  I got slaw and huspuppies, and some amazing cornbread.  It was all good (and a lot - I had to get a box) and I will go back when it's not so ding dang cold!

Of course, I also had to let my son know right away - they have fried catfish!  I personally can't stand fish - but that boy has been in love with catfish since he was about 4 years old (and he's 18 now).  I guess I'll have to take him out to dinner!

I had the fried chicken.  Good god they give you lots of food.  I ODed on grease so bad, I was amazed nothing clogged inside of me.  The servers were really friendly as well.  The chicken was awesome, I couldn't stop eating it.
