This Old-School Arizona Restaurant Serves Chicken Dinners To Die For

Fried chicken is just one of those foods that, when accompanied by the right side dishes and enjoyed in the right atmosphere, takes us back to Sunday supper at Grandma’s house. Mrs. White's Golden Rule Cafe in Phoenix certainly fits the bill, serving up down-home classics guaranteed to satisfy even the most voracious appetites.

Unassuming as the building may be, few hungry passersby are able to resist its promise written in big, bold lettering.

Mrs. White’s is a comfort food institution, having been blessing Phoenix with soulful entrees for almost 60 years.

Inside, the atmosphere is reminiscent of an old-timey schoolhouse.

Desk chairs and wooden tabletops guide your taste buds on a nostalgic journey back to childhood.

A quick glance around reveals whiteboards covered in menu offerings and scrawled signatures that have all but faded over the years.

Fond memories of sitting in similarly furnished classrooms may fill your mind, but the only lesson you'll find here is one in flavor.

As you can see, fried chicken is the star of the show on this plate - as it should be.

The texture is unlike anything you’ve ever experienced: crispy on the outside before giving way to a juicy, succulent center.

Prefer a thick slab of chicken-fried steak? You won’t be disappointed.

The rich brown gravy takes things to a whole new level. Other soul food classics such as liver & onions are also served.

Oh, and let’s not forget about those mouthwatering sides like mac & cheese, cornbread, and a piece of cobbler for dessert.

Mrs. White's Golden Rule Cafe is open daily from 10:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Address: 808 East Jefferson Street, Phoenix, AZ 85034
