  You can't get better home cooked food from a restaurant than this.  It isn't "fancy" but it exceeds every expectation you could have.
  
  Need some food for the soul?? Stop at Mrs. B's!!

  I just want to say that it is worth it.
  Large portions of veggies.
  My husband and I shared the following:
  
  Fried chicken
  Catfish
  Bbq ribs
  Fried green tomatoes
  Cream/fried corn
  Collards
  Green beans
  Lima beans
  Corn bread & drink come with your meal
  
  I do not love sugar in my corn bread or greens. However, it is a personal flaw of mine.
  
  Enjoy!!
  
  The pictures of the building on yelp confused us. They may have two locations, but the one on Air Base blvd is the orange building and not the blue house.

  I knew we were in the right place when I saw displayed on the wall:
  Deuteronomy 28 v 6 !!
  
  Real home cooked meal.
  Scratch kitchen no airs n Grace's, "just the facts m'am".
  
  Daily specials.
  Please see menu.
  We chose the fried chicken 2 pieces done beautifully moist crisp outside 3 sides, corn bread includes cold drink e.g. ice tea un or sweet 21 bucks a couple dine in.
  Served cafeteria style, pay, take your own seat or carry out.
  Condiments include pickled chili peppers in vinegar a perfect foil to the fried stuff.
  Collard greens, okra, especially good.
  Wife said her fried green tomatoes were 'really yummy '.
  
  Family biz.
  Efficient and friendly helpful staff.
  Located near gates of Maxwell AFB.
  Local following.
  Off the tourist radar.
  
  Value.
  Quality.
  Earns full marks & hard to beat at this price point.

  I have been to plenty of places featuring their respective versions of Southern food. Most do a pretty good job; some are pretty disappointing. But every now and then I come to one that makes me think, "Man... All those other places I've been to are crap." Mrs. B's serves the kind of Black Southern cooking that makes you think about your own grandma's kitchen when you were younger, assuming she could cook.
  
  My favorite part of this meal, honestly, were the greens. It is a personal mission of mine to find the best greens at any new place I visit. And it counts as my vegetables for the day. (lol.) Most are okay but just not as flavorful as what Mrs. B offered me. It wasn't at all too salty like a lot of people mistakenly do, and it came with a nice big hunk of ham (maybe neck) that was so satisfying to slurp the juices off of.
  
  Another great thing about this place: the price. For only $10 I received two pieces of dark meat fried chicken, REAL cornbread (muffin), greens, Mac & Cheese (also friggin' amazing), and sweet tea. I honestly would've paid more because it was so good, and I had mine to go.

  On the road and getting hungry, we started searching yelp. Saw Mrs B's and decided to stop. We were sad the original place burned down since the older pics looked so interesting, but the sign out front of the little orange building still tells the truth: "Just like Grandma's." Definitely soul food that satisfies. The Mac & cheese and collards literally took us back in time to when "homemade" was REALLY homemade. Everything was delicious, and portions were generous. Could easily have shared one plate, but our eyes were bigger than our stomachs. (On the upside, we have leftovers for tonight we are actually looking forward to.) The staff was friendly and so were the other customers. It's a small place, but then again, so was Grandma's. Bottom line: If you don't need fancy, just want good, you won't be disappointed.
