Delicious soul food! I had Turkey leg with rice and gravy, potato salad and collard greens. It was delicious! And just like the name of the restaurant, the food tastes like it could have been made by your grandmother.

I'm from Harrisburg Pennsylvania, been in Rochester for about a month now, needed a gd breakfast place while I'm here, me n my bro found this place. Hands down best food in the area, owner is a great guy, took care of us, the cook? God bless him, food was so good wanted to give that man a hug lol. Would give it a 10 star rating if I could

Visited Granny's Kitchen last night for the first time and can't wait to go back! Smothered pork chop was sooo good... tender and well-seasoned. Greens, mac and cheese, and corn muffin were amongst the best I've had in town. Love that there's outdoor dining available!

Good Evening my foodies. My time first eating at Granny's Kitchen and the food was delicious. I never had oxtails before, don't come for me lol, baby let me tell you it was so juicy and tender. I will definitely come back. Customer service ...

Never knew this place existed until my Sorority sisters came for our Founders' Day celebration. Our server (mother of the owner) was very accommodating. I loved that they made a special wrap for me that was totally plant-based. It was excellent! Everyone else loved their food as well. I highly recommend this place and will come back again!

Atmosphere better. Workers are friendly. It's definitely more Southern style of food that taste great! Yams are not too sweet,and u can taste the yams,it's just right! Overall,it's a excellent choice of restaurant to go especially on a Sunday!!!!

What a pleasant restaurant and delicious food! Came for the oxtails, but they were all sold out, probably because they're that good. Fried haddock hit the spot though. Will definitely be back for the oxtails earlier in the day.

Baybeeeeeee!! When I leave the house for soul food this is what I want not churches chicken but this! Fresh home made love in a dish. We ordered chicken wings which we received ALOT of wings, Mac and cheese DELICIOUS, cabbage the yams and the sauce it’s hard to find them like that around here unless you’re at your neighbors house. Just when we thought we were about to fall out GIRL there is a bed of rice under your meat. We fell in love today and will make it a point to drive the 2 hours again specifically for Granny’s
