1. Luella’s Southern Kitchen
Luella’s Southern Kitchen
Luella’s Southern Kitchen is so named as a token of gratitude for the hard work Luella Funches put into making her family happy over the years; her granddaughter Kim and great-grandson Darnell cook the foods Luella used to make on a day-to-day basis for their patrons. Everything is delicious; however, if it’s your first time, get the buttermilk fried chicken (the texture of the skin is amazing) with spicy gravy, collard greens, and biscuits. Eating this meal in the small sit-down area, with Kim and Darnell making sure that everything is to your liking, will make you feel like part of the family.
