Cooking Diva

I’ve been wanting to try Cooking Diva for a while, and I’m sooo thrilled I finally did! I had the mac n’ cheese, yams, and fried chicken and everything was amazing. The chicken was hot, crispy, and perfectly seasoned. The sides were delicious, and those yams tasted just like my mom’s. Canton, y’all have a winner right here baby! The service was friendly and fast, and the place was clean and welcoming. I’m utterly blown away and I’m not easily impressed. I’ll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

Come here for a true southern experience In Exceptional cooking! I had the hot dark chicken plate with two sides- fried okra and sweet potato casserole. Y’all that casserole is a freaking dessert! The fried okra was fresh and that chicken y’all- perfectly fried, juicy and the hot sauce is totally homemade and dare I say sweet! It’s a hot/spicy sweet mix that is addictive. We also got the catfish plate with Mac n cheese n mashed potatoes. That Mac n cheese is actually made from scratch. My second favorite thing, besides the hot sauce 😅 was the banana pudding. It was so light and fresh. I have to get here earlier next time to get some sweet potato pie because I KNOW that shit is gonna be amazing.

My experience here today (4/11/2023) was fantastic! The building is a clean & bright beautiful white, with black shutters and a bright red door, it grabbed my attention immediately! As I walked in, I was met with such a delightful aroma of SOUL FOOD! The staff there was super friendly and welcomed me in with smiles and excellent service! I ordered the fried chicken white meat meal (breast & wing), with 2 sides (cabbage & yams) & a sweet tea! The chicken was a beautiful golden color & seasoned just right, I love the tiny bit of "heat" in it every juicy bite! The Cabbage was nicely seasoned with hamhock with a taste of fresh cracked black pepper! The yams were not to sweet & had a nice undertone of butter, like a savory baked sweet potato. I am so happy I decided to come & try The Cooking Di

I am a traveling Property management specialist and I travel all over the US, 20 states and counting! I love to try new places and this place is amazing! True Southern Comfort! I had the fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy and sweet potato casserole. I swear that chicken was marinated over night 😂. The seasoning was all the way through the chicken. Absolutely amazing!!! The sides were just amazing! Southern seasoned! Hats down to the chef, you are an incredible chef and deserve your credits! I had to stop eating just to write a review. I haven’t even tried the banana pudding yet but my lemonade was good too!

After a morning of shopping on the Square, my friends & I dropped in for lunch. The Diva did not disappoint! Our meals were fresh, hot, and delicious. There was a steady stream of customers, and all were served in a timely manner with a smile. Definitely worth a visit. Thanks for a lovely end to our day, Cooking Diva!
