Plate Pleasures Eatery
Plate Pleasures Eatery, mere blocks from Mayfair and the Mayfair Collection, offers scratch-made soul food. The small restaurant is in a convenient area right off the freeway, with ample parking and a window for take out. Plate Pleasures Eatery’s menu is influenced by the owner’s grandma and mother and her experiences of traveling and going to nice restaurants.
Plate Pleasures Eatery menu features southern staples like fried catfish, po-boys and smothered pork chops. Their gumbo is the real deal and they also feature classic soul food sides like greens, cornbread, candied yams and of course, mac & cheese. Don’t forget dessert! You can’t skip out on Mia Redmond’s grandmother’s pound cake. Her mom’s influence gets a nod with lemon icebox pie, plus cornbread dressing and banana pudding.One of the best sellers has become the turkey leg bed. It’s a jumbo sized smoked turkey leg slowly cooked.
Plate Pleasures Eatery is a woman-owned and black-owned and operated business that is open Thursday through Sunday for take-out only, so be sure to call ahead for your order.
