My Father's House Southern Cuisine, Nyack, NY

I visited My Father’s Place with a friend back in September 2025. We visited on a Friday afternoon and we didn’t wait long to be seated as the restaurant was just opening for the day. The waiter was very attentive and took our drink orders. I ordered the homemade lemonade which was sweet. When the waiter returned he had a basket of sweet potato muffins and biscuits. After tasting one I couldn’t stop there were so soft and delicious. I knew I had to pry myself from the muffins and biscuits otherwise I would be full and unable to consume my meal. I ordered BBQ chicken wings with white rice & gravy along with collard greens. I’m not a spice person and at times black pepper can be too spicy for me. My greens were too spicy for me to consume. My friend ended up eating them. MY BBQ chic

As a repeat customer, I have to say this place is a sweet gem to the community of Nyack and Rockland County in general. My Father’s House is a warm, cozy, rustic corner-restaurant serving a classical and also a non-traditional take on soul-food. Their approach is to sticks to the foundation - fried chicken, mac and cheese, collard greens, yams, chicken/waffles, smothered pork chops, corn bread, etc. —but it’s presentation is elevated, upscale, and large enough to share with others. There’s also a plant based option for the vegan/vegetarians in your life so no one is left out. The service is 10 out of 10; you are truly treated with warm, family- like Southern Hospitality that NY is usually not known for. The owner is a shinning example of a sweet Southern Belle. The atmosphere can feel i

Words can’t describe how beautiful the atmosphere is to eat at this restaurant. Appearance 10, atmospheres 10, Food 10. One of the best places I’ve eaten in years. My family had a great experience and the food excellent. I’ll be back on a regular basis. I truly highly recommend this establishment to anyone. Don’t miss out.

The perfect little slice of Southern charm! This authentic restaurant is tucked away in the most adorable part of town—it truly feels like stepping into a Hallmark movie. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted, and the atmosphere was absolutely impeccable. A woman was singing live with the voice of an angel, adding the perfect touch to the cozy ambiance. We were seated quickly, and the menu was full of genuine Southern favorites. We tried the short rib (9/10), Cajun shrimp and grits (10/10), and mac and cheese (9/10)—each dish was flavorful, comforting, and beautifully prepared. The sweet cornbread they brought to the table is something I will be trying to replicate for years to come. The service was equally impressive; when we realized we’d forgotten to ask to split the che

BEST FOOD I’VE EVER HAD! Out of all the reviews I’ve ever left on Google Maps in all my years using the app, this restaurant has become the greatest place I’ve ever eaten! It has also become the most friendly, caring, and unfathomably welcoming business I’ve ever been to. This place, as well as the workers, is something I will always remember and be grateful for. The staff here are the absolute nicest people, and their presence makes the ambiance feel perfect! The environment here is also amazing, with cutesy decorations and live music being performed! The food here is just heavenly. Pure perfection! The absolute most delicious chicken, fish, and okra I have ever had! I cannot thank the workers enough, especially Adrian (the owner), Imoni, and Delano enough for their amazing service and
