the most delicious chicken I have absolutely ever ate!!!!!5 black customers camein after us and they were waited on before us. staff was rude and short with us and we wer seated near the bathroom . if the staff wants to make a statement there, thats fine with me as long as its not on my lunch hour. Although the food was absolutey excellent I will never go back because I took the hint. Not to mention that this restaurant deserves a better locale. the owner could become a millionaire!!! less

I have been all over this country, and this is without question THE BEST fried chicken I have ever tasted. I heard about the place and stopped by there with a friend for lunch. Being a white person and from the Wash DC area, I have never felt so white in all my life. We were seated in a table way in the back by the bathroom. We barely got any service and were barely spoken to. The servers were brash and short with us. We waited about 45 minutes for our food to come. But the rough service and long wait was well worth the wait. The food was generous and fabulous. The sides were tasty too. The selection is limited, which depends on what time of day you get there. They have what they have until it runs out. Everything is so fresh. Next time I might try carry-out so as not to be so uncomforable in that setting.
The other review said the place was clean. When I was there, the place was filthy and run down, but all that doesn't matter once your food comes. less

Mrs. Whites Golden Rule Cafe has been in Phoenix on Jefferson for over 30 years. It was started by Mrs. White, a Christian Minister. She opened her cafe as an independent effort to care for and support her 5 children. Her food is so good that her clientel has included nearly every celebrity who has ever passed through Phoenix. The Goden Rule Cafe is know through out America. It is especially a favorite haunt of professional sports stars, who autograph the walls. On any day you may be seated next to any one of the Pros from the Phoenix teams, or any visiting team, government officials, and media stars. The cafe itself is modest, clean, and has the 'down home' atmosphere of the tradition olsd SoulFood restaraunt. A family run business, the service is polite and personal. The food consists of the soul food fair. Chicken, chops, fish, etc., veggies, rice & gravy, corn-bread, and a Peach-Cobbler to kill for. Portions are very generous and there is no microwaving. Everything is prepared as you wait. There are no bills. Everyone is expected to honestly pay at the window before leaving, or not. Mrs. White always felt that there are some who cannot afford to pay, but God wishes us to share with those who have less. In fact I have personally seen her feed down-on-their-luck individuals who have asked for free food. If you dishonestly eat a meal without paying, that's between you and God. Thus 'The Golden Rule Cafe'. A wonderful dining experience. less
