Mrs. White’s Golden Rule Cafe

Founded by Elizabeth "Mrs. White," this venue holds distinction as Phoenix’s oldest continuously operating African American-owned restaurant. Inside the warm, unpretentious dining room, the menu centers on plates like smothered pork chops and catfish, backed by traditional sides of black-eyed peas, candied yams, and peach cobbler. Experiences can vary and waits stretch during peak hours, but the appeal remains anchored in its historic charm and straightforward home cooking.
