Oschcola's Home Cooking — Restaurant in Mobile

I hate to have to do this But it’s been a year since they’ve been here and you know they say new businesses don’t last past a year and I see this being one of them, unfortunately This time last year, I was so excited to get my hands on the food and Sunday I was disappointed, 3/9/25 So here we are again eating here after church, haven’t had it in a while and I’m guessing this was probably why I ended up going in and we were acknowledged, of course, but when it came to eating the food, our portions were cut in half and I was still hungry after I bought the food. $13 plate The smothered rotisserie chicken or baked chicken usually they have bigger selections than the little pieces we got. I’m almost 30 years old and got a kids plate. Sunday, we usually go to Morrisons, but because this is on this side of the service road, we find it convenient, but sometimes convenience isn’t convenient I see they’ve made enough but we’re not training them well enough to ask the customers what they prefer or maybe it’s just that time…. The food didn’t taste the same from what I remember so it probably makes sense why the business has slowed down a lot My advice is to not little scoop the early crowd, feed everybody and if you run out of food, then that just goes to show you’re good at what you’re doing. I hope they can fix the issues before. It’s too late

The owners who I believe were the employees that were working at the time are very sweet. I just wanted to give the mama a hug bc she was sweet but she was working hard so I didn’t want to disrupt that. the food is home cooked . I got a rotisserie dinner and double Mac Upon asking about the chicken I asked if beans and rice were considered a side or does it come with it I’m guessing the wife didn’t hear me (I am soft spoken so it happens) To my surprise after being told yes I got rice and gravy 😅 but here the meal was in fact a home cooked 💋 2 plates for under $30 We didn’t get drinks bc we had some at home but I believe it’ll still be around the same price Your drink is extra though Also remember they are new on the block and have plenty room for improvement Welcome them to the community yall

Oh yea, Shrimp and Grits!!! They got it

Update 5/5 🌮🇲🇽

So unfortunately I had to work on Sunday but my mom made sure she stopped by after church and I was greeted with yet another good plate but this time she went all out Yall know I love Mac and cheez so it was there Those greens *with hot sauce chefs kiss Mashy p’s….bussin!!! I didn’t taste the cornbread yet as my face is currently in this plate That chicken bird was good too Yall they’re the reason I like home cooking now….dont hesitate Grew up on soul food and that was considered home cooking for me but this gives a new meaning as far as country home cooking Definitely earned a regular ✨

6/2 update YALLLLL!!! since my original review they were good but it was up and coming when I say they made the right choice by Having Glenda & Tim (BBQ-in with my honey 👩🏽‍🦱👨🏽🍖) in the kitchen….. gone stop by and grab you a plate like this Ya granny made this one & it tastes like soul food now😉 Rotisserie chicken, red beans and rice, black eyed peas and Mac and cheez & corn bread Hands down 3rd time was the charm!! Now let me get off and feed my face 💋

lol updateeeeee 6/16 (fathers dayyy) 1st from the initial review I said they had room for improvement Look at the pictures and see the progress!!! Lawd every bite didn’t disappoint and I’m so excited for that! The owner I didn’t get his name but you know him if you see him, gave me some cake and I must tell yall it was the most moist and fresh ingredient cake I done ever had. And yes it’s a family recipe I tased every strawberry from the cake to the icing. If I haven’t convinced you yet I’m just gonna believe you don’t have good taste buds. Thank yall so much for the great service and amazing food. Yall better not go no where for a long time 🥰

PS my mama said yall better stop sleeping on this cornbread. She said she’ll break her diet for that there

lol...

I needed to get something for lunch and decided to try Oschcola’s Home Cooking. This place has been on my radar for a few weeks. I’d passed it a few times while driving on Airport Boulevard. I was working from home so I went there on my lunch break. When I walked inside I saw a few patrons sitting at tables. There was a a buffet style counter set up with the work staff behind it. Each of them greeted me as I walked toward the counter. I was asked what I wanted and I said thought instantly about the fried chicken I saw. I ordered that and the meal comes with three sides and cornbread as well. I chose mac and cheese, black eyed peas, and mash potatoes and gravy. The server rung me up and I took my plate to go. I can’t remember the first thing I tasted when I got home. I believe it was the mac and cheese. It doesn’t really matter. The sides were really good. Mac and cheese is usually my favorite side but I thoroughly enjoyed the black eyed peas. Don’t get me wrong the mac and cheese was excellent but the peas were superb. The mash potatoes were creamy and the gravy was savory. The cornbread was the type that had the pieces of corn in it. I liked it. Now the main course was of course the chicken. It really looked and tasted like authentic homemade fried chicken. I loved the seasoning on the chicken. It was some of the best chicken I’ve had in a while. I definitely want...

I’m sorry. I know that this is a local place but ownership has got to do better. The Christmas decor is still up for crying out loud. This is not a buffet. This is a walk up, order at the counter, and they serve you kind of place.

Walked in on Wednesday at 1 for lunch. Tables filthy. Condiments empty. Overall condition and walls look used and abused. A male employee is shuffling around behind the serving line, on his phone, dressed like he just rolled out of bed, and acted like he can’t be bothered. Maybe he’s training? A female employee is running around behind the line with earbuds in obviously up to her neck in things to do. Got a half greeting only when we got right up to the line. Food looked like it had been sitting out for hours. Quality was confirmed after I ate it.

Hamburger steak? Enough salt to kill a slug. Mashed potatoes? School cafeteria and I’m not kidding. Corn? From a can and everything else looked like it too. Cornbread? No salt or sugar whatsoever. It’s a bland blob of cakey mush.

The only good thing I saw was that the woman was frying chicken or pork chops fresh.

Everything else that I saw is honestly insulting to the business. One lady came in, looked at the food, and pretended to answer her phone so she could leave. I’m not kidding.

This is as far as you can get from...
