About Tastes like Grandmas

Crispy fried fish with "special dust" that people rave about. I serve classic soul and comfort plates, traditional sides, including mac&cheese, candied yams, rice and gravy, smoked meats, and selection of desserts (strawberry/peach cobbler, banana pudding with caramel drizzle and sweet potato pie that finish the meal right. The food is straightforward and familiar. I serve solid portions that fill you up. I do on-site service for events, rolling in and serving straight to your guests. I keep the menu tight so the line moves and the food comes hot. Expect short waits, sturdy plates, and desserts that folks keep ordering again. I handle bookings for catered events, showing up ready to feed a crowd.

Nicole Griggs White

Owner, Tastes like Grandmas

I know everything about cooking, hands down from my Grandmother (my twin) both born on the same day, May 8th! I learned from watching her use simple items like onions, butter and garlic to create a masterpiece on Sunday's for dinner that fed a crowd. I cook the same way for my family and friends and I love to watch them enjoy! I grew up in the Detroit and moved to Phoenix in 2020. I run the truck on weekends. I love preparing amazing dishes that taste like your at your Grandmother's table. I show up early with passion and it shows with love!
