Finally made it to
Sissy's, the new southern cooking spot located on Henderson right off 75, and it was pretty good!
First off, the restaurant is pretty loud, so don't try to take your parents for fried chicken there anytime soon - they won't be able to hear you say "yummy in my tummy." I with with 3 girlfriends, which was great because we were able to try a lot of the dishes family style.
To start we ordered the deviled eggs and the pimento cheese/ham salad with biscuits. Both were very good and hit the spot. I do wish that the size of the pimento cheese & biscuits was bigger though...fat girl talking.
Now on to the good part - the basket of fried chicken. Yum yum yum. I LOVE good fried chicken - that's crispy and not too greasy and this hit the mark. As sides, we went a bit overboard (good one Michelle...). We split the mac 'n cheese, squash casserole, fried okra & mashed potatoes. The two standouts were for sure the mac 'n cheese and fried okra. The fried okra was lightly flash fried, like shishito peppers at a sushi restaurant - so they weren't slimy or greasy at all.
So, if you know me, you know I love mac and cheese. The fabulous thing about this dish at Sissy's was the fried flecks on top (see below). I would definitely order this dish again!
So all and all, it was a pretty good experience. I would go back and eat the fried chicken again - but just be prepared to wait a bit for the table and deal with the noise.
Cheers!
