Everything was spot on and homemade. Cole slaw, cornbread, chicken and dumplings not to mention the fried chicken were delicious.

I got the Nashville Hot Sandwich with fries, no Cole slaw as my first visit. Took a few minutes to come out, but glad to have cooked-to-order food. It came out around $6.50 I think and got liberal portions on both the sandwich and the fries. Absolutely worth the price. I took it home and got my own drink there, so that saved a bit. I would definitely recommend trying it out.They warn you the Nashville Hot is rather spicy. It made my nose run, but it didn't put me on the floor or anything. If you like spicy food, you'll probably love it. I liked it a lot but it's a bit spicy for me so probably will only get it on occasion when I feel specifically like spicy food.Very much look forward to going back and trying other things on the menu and supporting a local business that has good deals on good food.

Just Like Mama's Home Cooking 901 A E 5th St, Metropolis IL 62960 Aug. 16, 2023 Wednesday - 12:30 PM for lunch 3 Adults Atmosphere - 4 stars Food - 5 stars Service - 100 stars Background - On a business trip found this place on Yelp. The hours are very limited so we hit them up for lunch. Atmosphere - It is an old building. I looked at the tables and was like those are Taco Bell 80'furniture. After we got back and told our local team about lunch they were yeah that was a Taco Bell a long time ago. Food - I had the Nashville Hot (Dark). Two pieces a thigh and a leg with a side of coleslaw to help cut that heat. The chicken was piping hot and the spicy heat was perfect. The price was amazing too. Service - The door had a sign on it stating use the drive thru. The drive thru is awkward to drive. After we pulled up she asked if we wanted to dine in, yes please. We pulled around and she unlocked the place. That is when I discovered 1980's Taco Bell vibe going on. Future - Yeah I want some more of that chicken.

We stopped here because of the name. The fried chicken and French fries were very good. The staff were very friendly; we enjoyed our lunch there.

Always love the chicken and I've never had a bad "special of the day". New things randomly keeps it interesting. A must for weekday lunch!
Imma eat here on TUESDAYS, WEDNESDAYS, THURSDAYS, AND FRIDAY afternoons between the hours of 11-5. No doubt, a real- caring for provider with great flavor!
