Jo’s Southern Cooking

I’ve lived in Albany for a long time but I’ve always just driven by this place. My wife brought a menu home one day and I decided to try their Ox tails with rice today. They are very reasonably priced and even though I was skeptical at first, I soon changed my mind. The meat was seasoned very well and was also tender. The rice was well cooked as well. I also had mac n cheese, collard greens and corn bread. They give good portion sizes, you can’t eat it all at one sitting or at least I cant. The mac n cheese was very cheesy and the greens were ok. The cornbread was thin like I like it and also good. My wife had the fried chicken and she said it was very good. I will try them again and will recommend them to my friends.

This place is Delish & Legit.
We came for lunch just as they had opened and were the first ones in the house. Both of us ordered the fried chicken (2 pieces) with two sides. I got the dark meat option ($ 6.25) and my husband got the white meat option ($ 6.50). It should be said the white meat option actually is a breast and a leg and the dark meat option is thigh and a leg.
The fried chicken was some of the best I’ve had with the coating being very crispy and tasty. The pieces were big (not huge) and it was clearly made to order, as it was HOT!
The top sides we had were the collards and the butter peas. The mac n’ cheese was alright but nothing special.
Also, I love that they serve cornbread with the meal that was NOT sweet. I noted this to our pleasant and efficient waitress and she said that she preferred hers sweet with the greens and butter peas, but this is what they serve there. And I’m glad they do.
So a full meal and tip, we were out of there for under $ 20 for a great, fresh, tasty, and bountiful amount of food.
