Helen's Kitchen & Catering - Columbus, Mississippi

Kenneth Davis

Oh my gosh! What an experience. We checked Google reviews today in pursuit of some good soul food. We settled on Helen's Kitchen and, in doing so, hit a home run.

The first thing we discovered when we got there was that the meals were take out only. Her business is undergoing renovations, and the dining area is closed.

James met us outside to take our order. That's when we discovered that we would not be dining in today. We asked if we could go in and meet Helen, and he said, "Of course."

We had the most delightful conversation with this very young 84 year old mother of six, and one of eleven children. She has been in the restaurant business for nearly 40 years. Her son served us both up a hot plate of food to go.

We really didn't want to leave. Everyone there made us feel so much at home, and we certainly didn't want our conversation with Helen to end.

Good food. Good company. You couldn't ask for more.

I went with Helen’s for the catering of my uncle’s 70th birthday celebration and the food was AMAZING. Everyone kept talking about how they loved the herb roasted chicken especially. I hope whatever they’re doing in the kitchen that they keep it up, especially with the chicken. And the salad and fruit tray were just beautiful. I even have an aunt who’s now considering Helen’s for her event. Mr. Kabir was such a pleasure to work with and made sure I had everything I needed. That took so much stress off of me since I was planning everything from out-of-town. The next time I’m in Columbus, I’m going to make it a point to stop by and support.

Despite remodeling work on going, they have maintained their quality and delicious flavors. I'm traveling thur and haven't had the chance to eat from Helen's before, but you don't have taste like this without experience. I'm wishing them good luck in the years to come, because I do intend to be here again!! Thank you for the food, service, and price!!

Food:
Tried two different items: The Salmon & Egg Biscuit and Bacon, Egg & Cheese Sandwich. Both were extremely good. The BEC had thick buttery toast with gooey cheddar cheese and what appeared to be thick hickory style bacon and a hard fried egg. The Salmon was lightly crisped on the surface and moist and flavorful inside.

Environment:
Definitely a down home atmosphere. It was like visiting your grandma's house for breakfast on a cold crisp morning. It's also very nice for the owner to chat with ya and personally bring your food. You can tell there's a lot of rich history in that restaurant and neighborhood. They don't take card payments but it's all good. They have wifi which is a huge plus.

Awesome first visit! Definitely won't be the last.

They had the best breakfast I’ve had in the city so far. Pancakes were super buttery & fluffy, the potatoes were well seasoned, the omelette was top tier, we genuinely had no complaints.

The peach cobbler here is Old School jumping. This is a cash based business we only had a card and she let us have our food anyway. She said it was our blessing and that at least we could remember her by doing a good deed! Mrs. Helen was in there peeling her sweet potatoes for tmmrw w/a ?. This is family owned & operated they are so nice its warm & cozy!
