Paired with the Hot Sauce makes for a winning combination. It was also cooked at a perfect temperature, and seemed to be grease-free. I also got to sample Sweetie Pie’s Fried Chicken. It is delicious with Hot Sauce and/or a Jumbo Waffle on the side. The Fried Chicken is non-greasy and cooked just right. It is finished with intoxicating Whipped Cream. The Banana Pudding tastes fresh like it was just picked from a nearby tree. The hint of Cinnamon in the sauce and velvety smooth Pastries will make you want to jog extra miles to have Seconds. No contest! They offer arguably the best Peach and Pear Cobblers to be found anywhere. The highest highlight of Sweetie Pies is their Desserts. Well worth going for, forget the Calories. Scrumptious Dessert’s include Sweetie Pie’s famous Peach Cobbler, Banana Pudding and Pear Cobbler. It is so light and non-greasy, that it almost seems like it is baked. Sweetie Pies’ version of the tender fish is seasoned and fried perfectly. This dish is found almost everywhere in the South, but is sorely missing around Los Angeles area Restaurant Menus. Our hands-down favorite was the Fried Catfish with Hot Sauce. The goal was to sample much that is being offered with my Peeps. Having tried to call several times in advance (only to get a busy signal), I had to show up in person to place a rather large order “On the Fly”. Right? Let’s start with the culinary bright spots of my visit. OK, Yada Yada- what we really care about is the Food. The weeknight when I visited, the line was much shorter. The lines outside of tj’s Sweetie Pie’s are said to grow as far back as half a block during peak times. Bringing Sweetie Pie’s to the North Hollywood area was a stroke of genius. But that’s another story… The Greater Los Angeles Metro area- North of Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles (in Hollywood)- is a virtual “Soul Food Desert”. Instead, the West Coast satellite location is a cozy railroad Diner Car, occupying the space formerly held by Phil’s Diner- a NoHo venture that took 10 years of planning to stay open for all of 9 months.

Her son Tim is responsible for bringing the new branch to North Hollywood, and adding his son’s name “TJ”to the marquee. She was actually a back-up singer for the Ike and Tine Turner Revue back in the ’60s. The original restaurant was opened in St. New to the Sweetie Pie’s story? Here is a bit of background. The new season premiered last week and tonight we will see food from the new NoHo Menu for the first time.

Remnants of Phil’s Diner are still present at Sweetie Pie’s new NoHo location. Ready to taste some of the best Fried Catfish around? What are you waiting for? Why waste hours of exercise on typical fast food when you can get Southern Down Home cooking just North of Universal Studios? Yes, tj’s Sweetie Pie’s is now open at 5230 Lankershim Boulevard in North Hollywood (NoHo), CA. Oh come on- admit it- whether you watch the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) or not… When you see those commercials for “ Welcome to Sweetie Pie’s” on any channel, don’t you just want to inhale a huge platter of Soul Food? When it’s my “Hall Pass” or “Cheat” Day (from healthier eating), I choose my indulgences very carefully. The word ‘tj’s” has been added to Sweetie Pie’s name in honor of her Grandson TJ.
