Madea's Down Home Cooking
About This Spot
Stepping into Madea's Down Home Cooking feels like returning to a cherished family kitchen where warmth and familiarity wrap around you even before your order arrives. This cozy, unpretentious spot in Everman carries a gentle rhythm—a steady, comforting pace where every moment invites you to slow down and savor the simple joy of a hearty, home-cooked meal.
The atmosphere here is quietly welcoming, much like gathering around a Sunday dinner table where stories are shared and everyone feels at ease. There’s a straightforward honesty to the space, reflected in both the attentive, friendly staff and the steady hum of diners who come seeking more than just food—they come looking for a taste of tradition and a touch of home.
Madea's menu is a heartfelt tribute to soulful, down-home cooking, where familiar flavors are elevated by genuine care and attention. Imagine plates where tender oxtails and golden fried catfish share the stage with sides like lovingly simmered collards, creamy mac and cheese, and sweet yams, all crafted to evoke comfort and connection. Each bite carries the kind of richness that makes you pause, not out of formality but from a sincere appreciation for the food’s soulful roots.

Everything and I mean EVERYTHING IN HERE IS DELICIOUS! The love that went into preparing this food made me feel like we walked into grandma's house. When we walked in the food greets you and then the knowledgeable staff explained our dining experience. From letting us know what was on the menu, including selecting multiple meats and sides. Simply because there was no way we only wanted a sample of one thing. We tried every single thing on the menu. The servings are huge, making sure you have some for now and plenty for later. Everything is extremely fresh and seasoned to perfection. I can not express enough MADEAS should be on the top of every lost while in Fort Worth! I'm so full right now but I will come back Everything I'm here. Thank you Madea's!!! If I could give you 100 stars I would

This was my first time hearing about this restaurant. I searched good soul food near me. Upon entering it's set up like a lubys vibe. I love that, you can also order fresh prepared items. I purchased 2 (10) piece fish plates. 1 had Mac and cheese, corn and yams the other one had Mac and cheese, yams and broccoli casserole. With hot water corn bread. I can say everything was delicious except the hot water cornbread. I like mine on the light side and sweet. Theirs are heavy and not sweet. But it did not take away from the rest of the food. I also got a side of potatoe salad, banana pudding and pecan pie. I thank you so much for giving a first try everything I was liking for because I didn't feel like cooking.
