In Short
Granite marble tables, chocolaty brown upholstery and curtains give this Southern eatery a surprisingly uptown feel--despite it being nearly overwhelmed by nearby bail bondsmen and the San Francisco police department. Mama and son Larry serve up favorites like catfish po' boys and fried chicken, with each entree accompanied by two sides. Standards include macaroni and cheese, red beans, rice, greens and macaroni salad.
