I decided to lunch at Daddy's Soul Food Grill recently looking for some comfort food. It's located…read morein a new modern looking building with street parking the only available option I saw. You go down a cafeteria serving line telling the servers in the other side if the glass what you want. The waiting line was short in length (maybe 5 people) but moved very slowly. In fact it didn't move at all for about 10 minutes. Not sure why. Finally, I was able to ask for a meat and three for $14.49. I chose baked chicken, mac n cheese, green beans and black eye peas. The meal came with a cornbread muffin. Their soft drinks here are canned and with one and tax my bill was $17 and change. The prices here are reasonable. While the vegetables were hot and good tasting the chicken was barely warm. It was a victim of the dreaded non heated serving pan it was in and being kept out on the line too long. That deserves no more than a 3 score from me. The interior was also a little chaotic with a man selling colognes and perfumes inside! I don't believe he was affiliated with Daddy's.....

Hands down the best fried chicken and ox tail I've had since the hay days of Browns chicken (IYKYK). Had to drive 25+ minutes to get there and by the time I made it home with my 12 piece & ox tail it was the perfect temp! Tried sneaking a piece on the way back but it was still crazy hot and fresh! And even the chicken breast was plenty moist when I got home and commenced. Also the cornbread was super moist and has plenty of flavor! Mac and cheese wasn't half bad seriously some of the better Mac I've had in a bit as well. I think I've found my new spot 10/10, I highly recommend this place!

It only took me over 5 years, but I did finally make it to Mr. Perkins. The place was smaller than…read moreI expected it to be, the ambiance was different than I expected it to be, but the food was exactly what I expected it to be. The restaurant has a vintage, divey diner look and feel to it. There is plenty of counter seating and a few booths scattered around the other half of the floor space. On my visit, I'd say the place was less than half full, with a few diners at the counter and several booths taken. I expected more diners since it was just before Noon. However, the carry-out traffic was constant from when I arrived to when I left. The carry-out orders must have been what delayed my food from coming out sooner than I expected. I asked the woman for a recommendation since it was my first visit. She suggested the fried chicken dinner with greens and yams as the most popular items. I took her suggestion but substituted the yams for mac-n-cheese. The chicken dinner comes with two sides and corn bread for $10.95. It was a feast! I saw an order of homemade biscuits get served to another diner and had to order some for myself, too. The greens and mac-n-cheese were good but not great. The mac-n-cheese had a slightly grainy texture and wasn't creamy at all. The flavor was decent for both. The corn bread arrived in the form of small pancakes as I seem to find in soul food restaurants in MIlwaukee (this was my third). They were also good, but nothing special. I don't think they were meant to be, anyway. If you want butter or jelly for your corn bread or biscuits, you might have to ask for it. I did, but but I think she expected me to just borrow some from the guy sitting next to me. So I did. The biscuits arrived as an order of 2 and they were sliced with butter already in them. That could be why my request for butter wasn't tended to. They were light and fluffy and not dense, among the best I've had anywhere. The star of my meal was the fried chicken, as it should be. The chicken skin was very crispy and well-seasoned. The meat itself was moist and hot. This was served very fresh. In fact, the chicken breast came out separately, a few minutes after the other pieces. I'm guessing there are capacity issues. This was the best fried chicken I've had in Milwaukee! Overall, I think I waited 40 minute for the food to come out, but it was worth the wait. I would definitely go back again and recommend that others visit Mr. Perkins. I felt like an outsider because everyone there seemed to be a regular with one exception (other than me). A salesman wearing a white shirt and tie was sitting to my right and was in town from Texas. I asked him how he knew about Mr. Perkins. He said he just went on the internet to find a place to eat nearby and it popped up. He liked the name. He ordered the pork chops and loved every bite. I informed him he was dining in a locally famous establishment with a long history in Milwaukee, which made him even happier about his choice. It took me over 5 years to get here. He made it on his first day in town. He shared some of his BBQ tips with me and another diner sitting to his right. I felt like I was in a scene from a movie. Different people with different backgrounds converge on a place to grab a bite to eat and end up exchanging BBQ tips and business cards. One guy gave me his card for projects on my house that he can help with. You won't just find good food at Mr. Perkins. You'll find good people, too.

She took her time to go over the menu items and specials especially when she heard we were first timers. I ordered the Jambalaya which i have had many times before in New Orleans among other locations. Their version was equal to the best I've had anywhere. The rice was perfectly cooked and seasoned - the tomatoes were cooked just right and the sausage' shrimp and other protein were plentiful. My wife had the pecan crusted river trout - she loved it. Liked not only the fish but the sides that went with it. For dessert we shared a piece of Key lime pie. My wife and I love this dessert - we've had it all up and down the south Atlantic coast from Key West to Virginia and this was excellent. A real taste of key Lime. Just an excellent place to sit and relax and have an excellent meal with some nice people.

Our server was great and the manager came by while we were eating to ask how things were and see if we needed anything. Only thing with server was I did ask 3 times for more water, would have been nice if he just saw and refilled. We started with the hush puppies and meatballs. The hush puppies came with a really interesting sauce. The cheese, flavor and texture were great. The chicken meatballs were good also had a nice sauce. I got the 4pc Pressure Fried Chicken sub collard greens for Mac n cheese to share. They nicely split the meal on two separate plates for us. The fried chicken was really good with a delicious crispy breading. The biscuit and Mac n cheese were alright. The Mac n cheese was nothing special at all. The mashed potatoes and gravy were good, potato skins mixed in. Enjoyed the food and variety of options!
