"Lost Post Alert: Today turned out to be a fantastic day after the tough one I had yesterday! My best friend and sister, Neaka Cook, is always calling me up with little adventures, whether it's picking up puppies or discovering new places to eat together as sisters, and I truly cherish that. Now, let’s get to the real highlight: On Tuesday, she called me and said we were heading to Velma Jean's, a family-oriented restaurant owned by a Black family in Tylertown, MS. I was all in for that! Once we arrived, we were warmly greeted and led to our patio table by the wonderful owners, Bee Martinez and @Velma Jean's—some of the most hospitable, humble, and friendly people you could ever meet. It felt like going home for a family reunion, and this was our first visit. The food was incredible! I had the chicken and waffles, and I couldn't even finish it all. The chicken was perfectly seasoned, and the waffle was moist and fluffy. I also tried Uncle Rick's Orange Dream Pop (or maybe it was soda), which tasted just like orange sherbet mixed with vanilla. My bestie ordered the Red Beans and Rice with Fried Chicken and cornbread—even though she's not usually a fan of cornbread, she loved it so much that she wanted another piece! She managed to demolish most of her meal and also enjoyed some strawberry lemonade and four mimosas. Service was top-notch; our server was always around to make sure everything was perfect. We even had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Velma, and honestly, we could have sat and talked to them for hours! The atmosphere was amazing; it felt like a Sunday evening with family, surrounded by young and old folks sharing their stories from growing up. We definitely need more places like this! We're excited to return, and next time I'll bring the kids! My best friend also got a take-home order, so I'm sure she'll share her thoughts on that as well. Oh, and we had cake for dessert—she enjoyed a piece of what I believe was sour cream pound cake and key lime cake. We still have the pound cake to try; I was too full from the earlier meal! Just a heads up, everything is homemade and cooked with tons of love. @Bee Martinez, if I've got the names on the cakes wrong, please correct me! If you're ever in the Tylertown area, do yourself a favor and stop by Velma Jean's restaurant—I guarantee you'll love it; it's so homey!

Absolutely a 10/10! The food and service were exceptional. At the end of our meal, they even treated us to some complimentary cheesecake pound cake. Such wonderful people!
Lía
This was the best pound cake I have ever had! It arrived in perfect condition in California, thanks to the careful packaging. I can't wait to place another order and try some of the other delicious items they offer!

I brought my two adult nieces to the restaurant, and we had a wonderful experience. The staff was exceptionally friendly! The girls couldn't stop raving, saying, "The food was delicious!" They even decided to buy pink Velma Jean t-shirts. I highly recommend this restaurant! View menu

The drive was definitely worth it! The food was amazing, and you’ll walk away completely satisfied. The staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. I ordered the chicken and waffles, of course, while James had the red beans and rice with fried chicken and cornbread. We couldn't resist picking up a slice of the best cream cheese pound cake I've ever tasted on our way out. We will definitely be coming back, and I highly recommend you give it a try if you haven't yet!

The drive to this restaurant was absolutely worth it. The food was delectable and you will definitely leave feeling satisfied. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I ordered the chicken and waffles (a must-try), while James opted for the red beans and rice with fried chicken and cornbread. We couldn't resist grabbing a slice of the best cream cheese pound cake I’ve ever had on our way out. I will certainly be returning and highly recommend giving this place a try if you haven't already!

I was truly impressed by the beautiful artwork on the walls. My original intention was to try the chicken and waffles, but the owner, who gave me a warm welcome at my table, recommended that I go for the red beans and rice instead. I also ordered fish, cornbread, and a side of onion rings. Everything was absolutely delicious! Everything tasted fresh and was bursting with flavor. The service was top-notch, and the prices were quite reasonable. The only downside is that I don’t live nearby, so I can’t visit more often. View menu

I finally got the opportunity to eat at Velma Jean’s, and I enjoyed every part of the experience. The food was incredibly tasty, and the staff was exceptionally friendly. The other customers also contributed to a fun and lively atmosphere. This spot will definitely become a regular destination for me whenever I'm in Tylertown visiting family. I especially loved the chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits, and ribs, and the sour cream pound cake was so delicious that I couldn't resist taking an entire cake home. I'm already excited for my next visit!

The food was nothing short of spectacular! I ordered the chicken and waffles, and I have to admit, I couldn't finish it. The chicken was seasoned to perfection, and the waffle was delightfully moist and fluffy. I also sampled Uncle Rick's Orange Dream Pop, which I believe is a soda, and it was a real treat—ideal for anyone who loves the combination of orange sherbet and vanilla flavors. My friend chose the Red Beans and Rice with Fried Chicken, along with a piece of cornbread (despite her usual dislike for cornbread, she ended up wanting another piece!). She polished off most of her meal, leaving just enough to feel satisfied, and also enjoyed a Strawberry Lemonade and four mimosas. We wer...
