OUR STORY

What began as Lockett’s Superstar Café quickly became Papa Lou’s Kitchen — because that’s what the community called it. Since 2007, Papa Lou has served scratch-made soul food with the same goal: every plate should taste like somebody in the kitchen loves you.

Papa Lou’s Kitchen opened its doors on October 7, 2007, originally as Lockett’s Superstar Cafe. As Papa Lou and the restaurant became a loved part of the community, it was renamed Papa Lou’s Kitchen—a true reflection of his dedication in the kitchen, homemade recipes, and the warm hospitality that has defined PLK from the very beginning. At PLK our customers truly come first!

The food wasn't bad. My husband forgot what he had, but it was something he had that was a little salty. However, overall, it's not a bad place. If I'm in that area, I would consider going there again. But, I won't run down there.

The food was awesome the service was great the cashier was super friendly, I ordered fried chicken mac and collard greens. The mac was very cheesy yet it held its shape the wings were solid as well and the greens were tender and as flavorful as can be. The Mac definitely gets better as it sits.🙂‍↕️

Im not local, I came here last year looking for some good comfort food. I tried many places before this one and this one is the best. I had to make another trip when I was in town again, its the only place I returned to. The food is great, its seasoned really well and hits that comfort spot.

Ok now that I’ve gotten my belly full, I can leave this honest review. Lemme start with the turkey wing, very flavorful and meaty. The rice and greens were delicious as well. But that sweet potato mash is what stole the show. OMG so delicious The flavor is perfect. Not too sweet but just right. I have been wanting to try this place for so long and I’m glad I stopped today.🤤🤤 definitely will be back to try some different things.

Coming from a health conscious person, it was too salty. I had collard cooked with turkey, smothered turkey wings on a bed of rice, and sweet potatoes souffle. The collard were super seasoned. Too salty for me. The turkey wing was good. No gravy needed The gravy was too salty. The sweet potato souffle was good. A touch too much cinnamon overall good.
