The Senator's Place

The food here was amazing southern comfort food! I had the cabbage, butter beans, fried chicken, rice and gravy, and banana pudding. All of it was absolutely phenomenal and I would recommend it to absolutely anyone who loves southern food. Price was 13 dollars for a plate, and it was absolutely worth it.

Lucked upon this place while visiting Cleveland. May be the best soul food buffet ever. I chose short ribs, cabbage, sweet potatoes,black eyed peas, and fresh roll. Bread pudding for dessert. Servers all wore smiles and service could not have been better. And, a real Senator stopped by to visit with us. Charming atmosphere.

I felt like the Sooooouuuuulllllllll Train dropped me off for dinner. Amazing scratch cooking. I came on a Sunday and they had a nice smokehouse trailer in the parking lot cranking out freshly smoked chicken for the buffet. Definitely knowing what they're doing the smoke didn't drown the chicken and there was not a hint of lighter fluid in the aromatic flavour. Don't even get me started on the chicken dressing with homemade goblet gravy. I could go on and on.... No prefab or canned food here. Even the banana pudding for dessert was from scratch, which is so hard to find anymore.
