Tess's Kitchen Cafe

Fish and shrimp was delicious! Enough food for four people! Our server was the sweetest!

Went for breakfast and the food was amazing! The best country fried steak I ever had and the portions were huge. It is a must stop if you are in Tennessee. The staff and owner are wonderful people who embody home cooking. We will be back again!

Great meal for supper! Awesome and friendly staff with great home cooking!

Awesome food and super friendly staff. The blueberry fried pie I brought home was delicious. I'll be eating there again the next time I'm in the area.

Great little restaurant in a very small community, have both homemade southern style comfort meals & Asian (Philippine influenced) plates... As per meals listed on the daily wall chalk board ar delish & with very generous portion... My coconut chicken with fried rice was delish & my wife's pork chop (large) with the best Mac & cheese ever definitely tasted homemade plus applesauce... Definitely a stop by place if your every in the Pelham, TN area... Highly recommend, place is loved by the locals too....

A very good family restaurant where you can get pretty much anything you want to eat and if you leave hungry you didn't clean your plate!

Good country food at very reasonable prices. Friendly staff and cozy informal atmosphere.

So much awesome breakfast for such a sweet price. We met two different, locally semi-famous folk while eating breakfast, making a great meal an even more memorable experience. We can't wait to come back in the morning. 🖤

Best restaurant for frog legs. Food is out of this world!!! Staff is Friendly and helpful. Can't wait to go back. Keep up the good work!

Thank God for home cooking restaurants like yours! ❤

It was my first time to eat there. The food was out standing. So good.

Great service, great food an great atmosphere 🤤✌

Generous portions, the grilled chicken garden salad is fresh and delicious.

We are driving from Georgia to Texas and decided to stop in- glad we did! The kiddos loved their pizza, and we enjoyed the pot roast and catfish, respectively. The sides were excellent, just like homemade.

Usually stop here for a late lunch. Check out the fried pies, pies and cakes at the counter when you first come in. They usually sellout fast. Got the blueberry fried pie before they were sold out. Had the fried chicken livers, pinto beans, apples and cornbread. Better than any of the big chain restaurants. Lots of meat and three menu options. Burger and fries were great. Salisbury Steak was probably 1/2#. Great service from friendly staff. We usually stop here as we are riding through.

Really good county cooking- never have been to this little town before, and it hit the spot.

The absolute best food ever! This taste just like grandmas southern cooking! I've had everything from their Chinese stir fry..to a chicken salad to the catfish! Everything amazing! My absolute favorite is the catfish, slaw & turnip greens! It is very homey & you will always feel a southern welcome! Pam is the best!! Don't forget to get dessert!

Great food, great service and such a hometown feel.

When we went here we had a party of 6. Everyone was pleased with there food. The food was cooked properly, seasoned well, service was very friendly and timely. Also they have a variety of fresh fried pies, we had gotten there cherry, caramel apple, and chocolate flavored pies and all were delicious. Also nicely priced.. for example you can get a meat, 3 sides, and roll or cornbread for $10... Very pleased we discovered this place and would highly recommend to anyone!

Stopped for dinner since it was the only place open around 5on a Saturday. We were enjoying a night away and wanted to try a local spot. It was so homey inside. I ordered the fried chicken plate and I couldn’t believe how much food I got ! The sides were amazing too. I will definitely come back if we’re down this way.
