It's family-owned and operated, and you can truly feel that sense of legacy and love the moment you walk in. The food is absolutely amazing. My husband and I were visiting Washington for the weekend and ended up eating here twice--that's how good it is. The first time, we had the catfish nuggets, fried shrimp, and fried pork chops with collard greens, mac & cheese, and candied yams. Every single bite was on point. The second time, we made it just in time for the oxtail stew--and it was fire. You can genuinely taste the soul in the food. This place is something special. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!

Warm, crispy, pillowy soft, sweet but not overpowering- I woke up the next day still thinking about them. 20/10. Order 2 of them, you will thank yourself later. The Pork Chop was huge and juicy. Pear chutney on top was a winner. The owner was a cool cat who circulated the room and engaged guests the waitresses were knowledgeable and attentive. Playlist: vibes. Unapologetically Black space. Love, love, love it. This is a can't miss stop next time ur in Seattle.

Had an awesome dinner at Communion last Sunday. Parking was challenging to say the least. There was…read morean underground parking lot across the street but it belongs to the apartment building apparently so we had to find parking several streets away. Started the meal with Sweet Potato Hoe Cake. This had cornbread like texture but felt softer, smoother, quite moist with a sweet honey butter syrup base. BBQ Shrimp tasted out of this world delicious: very fresh head/tail on shrimp cooking in garlic butter, Metier coconut porter. The good to the last drop sauce had bold flavors although quite salty, just perfect for dipping the focaccia in. Unc's Wing was equally exquisite: rubbed in a 13-spice blend, with perfect crispness and plump, juicy flesh beneath the coating. Butter-basted cabbage was a rare treat: basted with butter that accentuates the sweetness of caramelized cabbage. Miso butter sauce a great match. The drink I ordered was less intriguing: Kinfolk (bourbon, Jamaican, rum, Cynar, and pecan liqueur) was bourbon heavy, very balanced nonetheless just not memorable. The chocolate truffle was the only item we did not enjoy: it had hard shell and very dense filling.

We had the chicken and waffles and the biscuits and gravy with mushroom gravy and scrambled eggs. Both dishes were delicious! They have a myriad of hot sauces to choose from at each table.

Everyone working was friendly and helpful even though they were slammed. We'll be back again soon!

Love that the tables were not short on the hot sauce. Service was great with the right amount of warmth and sass. I had the pimento BLT for brunch and man that sucker was so good! I got mine with the fried thigh and shoestring fries and it was so good. Fries were nice and crispy and not greasy! Also shared a side of catfish and so much flavor and not greasy at all! How do yall do that?! lol When you leave a spot like this, typically you feel weighed down by the fried foods but this place left us so satisfied without that weighed down feeling. Can't wait to come back for a dinner date night. Thanks Fat's!

He is truly an amazing person, and his food is just as incredible. Thank you, Reginald--my coworkers and I are so grateful for your kindness and support!

I have a mixed review of Toulouse Petit. On one hand, the service was lightning fast--the food…read morearrived within 5 minutes of ordering--and the lobster roll was absolutely delicious. Because the food quality is so high, I will return, but the service environment on this visit was completely ruined by an aggressive, boundary-crossing waiter and dishonest billing practices. The tension started before we even ordered. Wanting to ensure accuracy for our group of three, I put on a straight face and told the waiter directly that I was serious about getting the order right. He was visibly unhappy when asking for our drink orders. When I stated "no drinks," a friend in my party immediately joked and ordered something anyway, signaling to the waiter that my boundaries could be ignored. The waiter's inappropriate comments began the moment the order was placed, when he pointedly told me twice that I "better eat up all the food" we ordered. He then aligned with my friend's jokes throughout the meal instead of focusing on clear communication. Because of this unnecessary distraction, a $9 charge for beignets was forced onto our bill without my authorization, alongside a "living wage expense" tacked onto the final total without upfront disclosure. The lack of professional boundaries peaked after our plates were cleared. A lighthearted comment was made to the waiter about where the food was, and when he brought out a dessert we did not order, he leaned in and explicitly told us we "fucking better finish it." Using profanity with paying customers is utterly disrespectful and unacceptable. The kitchen staff and the speed of the food deserve praise. I enjoy the menu enough to come back, but front-of-house management needs to seriously address the aggressive language and financial dishonesty of their floor staff. Next time, I will ensure the ordering process is kept strictly to business.

I love that each entire comes with choice of protein and a salad. The catfish was insanely crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. The dirty rice was good. I could have used a little more flavor punch, but I haven't seen dirty rice on a menu in Seattle...so, I will not deduct points. Added bonus they are open late. I can't wait to go back for grits & greens!!

Host forgot to put in our order for Cajun mussels when we mentioned to him was the reason we came in the first place! They ran out of oysters! Mussels had a strong taste you may not like if you are not fully into cajun spice and flavor. French singing band showed up which was sorta unique. Draft Beer was not that great.

I stopped in about 30 mins after they opened on a friday and they had a lunch rush, everything is cooked to order so be prepared to wait at least 20mins. I ordered the 6oz catfish and chips which came with 3 catfish strips, fries, 1 hush puppy, chips and a drink ($16.99) I also got a side of mac&cheese. The positives: staff was kind, pastor at the counter would make jokes with customers and you could tell they had regulars during lunch time. Fries were well seasoned, hush puppy was good and Mac was acceptable. My only issue with the catfish was that it was overcooked and became a bit chewy (see photo). Sitting in there it seems like the wings were a customer favorite so I would love to go back and try their wings and other sides. Since my order took longer (there was a large order right before mines) the pastor at the counter thanked me for my patience and threw in a dessert.

Because they have a limited schedule, we've missed being able to try it, but we got lucky this time. Take a look at the menu before you go, they offer different "today's special" items so take a look. We got the fried chicken and the honey spicy wings. I loved this fried chicken and the wings were so good. Honestly it's just simple good fried chicken, it was juicy and not too salty as sometimes breading can be. The wings though, they were my favorite, the sauce on these was so good. You just wanted to keep eating these and I did. I'd like to try more of their items soon. And be aware, there was quite the line already in place when my husband went to get food. It's good food period.
