Phyllis and Chris

Our Story

Phyllis's love for cooking began with the fond memories she had as a little girl, watching her Aunt Sally prepare deep South  dishes for their large, close-knit family. The tantalizing aroma that filled the air and the smiles of contentment on the faces of her loved ones ignited an unquenchable passion within her.

Growing up in the heart of the deep south, Phyllis honed her culinary skills and found her niche in creating gourmet Southern cuisine. However, her signature golden-brown biscuits became the talk of the neighborhood. The delicious scent would waft through the streets, enticing hungry neighbors from blocks away. Chris, the son of Phyllis, has made the heartfelt decision to share the beloved recipes passed down through generations by establishing Phyllis Restaurant.

Now, after over 40 years of perfecting her craft, Phyllis is ready to share her culinary treasures with the world. With a heart full of nostalgia and a strong desire to spread joy and happiness through her cooking, she has opened her own restaurant - a place that transports its patrons back to a time when friends and family would gather around the table, sharing stories and creating lasting memories.

Phyllis's restaurant serves as a haven for those seeking the tastes and aromas of traditional Southern American dishes. With a touch of love and a sprinkle of joy in each recipe, she offers a culinary experience that goes beyond satisfying hunger. Every bite brings back memories of sitting at the family table, savoring the flavors of childhood, and feeling the warmth of togetherness.

The menu at Phyllis's Southern Comfort highlights a range of beloved Southern classics, from crispy fried chicken to melt-in-your-mouth collard greens. Each dish is crafted with care, using traditional recipes passed down through generations, but with Phyllis's unique touch that adds a hint of innovation and creativity. And of course, her famous golden-brown biscuits are a staple, proudly for every customer.
