Description

Though the remaining letters on the front of this hideaway seem to be held up with rubber cement and a few windows are kept together with masking tape, Rose Petals' "Y'all come back now" vibe instantly reveals that these blemishes are just part of its character. Choose from the list scrawled onto a whiteboard and pass your order straight to the cook: stewed oxtail that falls off the bone, griddle-fried and margarine-drenched cornbread cakes, succulent black-eyed peas, and a handful of other Southern staples that regularly touch on transcendent. The faded eatery feels as though you've stepped into the dining room of someone's home, albeit one that's seen better days. And that's part of the accomplishment of true soul food: an art that's passed down and practiced and which this restaurant has perfected.
