Looking for a place where the food tastes like your grandmother made it? Momma’s 3rd Street Old Fashion Kitchen at 701 South Third Street is exactly what you’ve been searching for. This isn’t your typical restaurant experience – it’s something much better.
When you walk through the doors, you’ll immediately notice something different. The handwritten menu boards, the “Eat” sign on the wall, and the warm atmosphere all tell you this is a place where food is made with care. It feels like stepping into someone’s home kitchen, which is exactly the point.
Miss Peggy runs this special place, and her story makes it even better. She came to Chickasha in 1960 and started teaching in the early 70s, spending decades nurturing young minds in our community. When she retired, she didn’t really retire. She just switched from feeding young minds to feeding hungry neighbors. You can see that same dedication to caring for people in every aspect of how she runs her restaurant.
She doesn’t do it alone – Alan works alongside her, and together they create the kind of welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to stay and chat. These folks genuinely care about making sure you have a good meal and feel comfortable.
Like Grandma’s kitchen, but with table service.
The food is what sets this place apart. We’re talking about real comfort food made from scratch, not reheated chain-restaurant fare. The menu changes regularly based on what Miss Peggy is cooking up fresh. You might find smothered pork chops with gravy, country meatloaf, tender roast beef, or rich beef goulash. Everything is prepared the old-fashioned way, with the kind of patience and attention that most restaurants gave up on long ago.
Miss Peggy understands how real families eat. The restaurant is open Monday through Friday, offering comfort food at times when you need it during the week. Then on Sundays, they’re open from 11 AM to 2 PM – perfect timing for families looking for a great meal after church.
In a world full of fast food and corporate chains, Momma’s stands out because it’s authentic. The atmosphere is relaxed, the conversations are real, and nobody’s trying to rush you out the door. It’s the kind of place where you can take your time and enjoy your meal.
Whether you’re a longtime Chickasha resident or just passing through town, this restaurant offers something special. It’s not fancy or trendy – it’s just really good food served by people who care about what they’re doing. The portions are generous, the prices are fair, and the experience will remind you why local, family-owned restaurants are worth seeking out.
If you want to experience what real home-style cooking tastes like, head over to 701 South Third Street. Come hungry, come as you are, and get ready to understand why people keep coming back to Momma’s 3rd Street Old Fashion Kitchen.
