  • Soul Food

    A downtown Phoenix throwback named for founder Elizabeth White, this decades-old room still runs from a painted-on sign to tight wooden booths and a lunch counter. Golden brown Southern fried chicken with cabbage and black-eyed peas is the famous draw, alongside smothered pork chops and fried catfish.

  • Fried Chicken

    Succulent chicken under a simple, lightly seasoned batter from a downtown soul-food institution running for six decades since 1964. The White family lineage connects straight to Lo-Lo's, and the cafe still draws a lunch line for the original recipe on Jefferson Street.
