TooLooPeas Savory Southern Cuisine

There is a fabulous new restaurant in my neighborhood called TooLooPeas.  It is a restaurant that serves up savory southern cuisine.



TooLooPeas means "pretty little girl". It's a term of endearment to little girls coined by Mr. Elmer Thomas, father of owner, Vivian Thomas-Smith.  Mrs. Smith wanted to keep the word alive and continue the message of uplifting little girls so the name of the restaurant was born.

The restaurant is a jewel on the Southside of Atlanta and can be found in the quiet Stockbridge community. Stockbridge is the perfect community for the restaurant because of it's mix of rural and metropolitan city sensibilities.

The dishes are made fresh and all desserts are made IN HOUSE!!! That in itself is rare because so many places have dishes shipped in already prepared.  This might save money, but sometimes you end up sacrificing quality and taste to save money.

This restaurant allows customers to travel down memory lane while celebrating the flavors of delicious traditional southern meals made from scratch.  Check out the TooLooPeas Sampler:



Another one of the classic southern dishes they provide is TooLooPeas Mama's Chicken:



Below are just a few of the weekly events that TooLooPeas provides:
Tuesdays: 15% off of your meal for seniors, police, firemen, military and educators.
Wednesdays: Wine Down Wednesdays
Happy Hour: weekdays from 5-7 pm
Weekends: LIVE music - contact/follow them to find out which day and to see who will be performing

We discovered this restaurant on Father's Day last year.  We were pleasantly surprised.  We were able to get in without a long wait and the food was fabulous.  There's nothing like good down home food.  It just makes you smile and feel good.

On our latest trip to TooLooPeas, I had the TooLooPeas burger with fries.  The burger was seasoned well and cooked to perfection. My husband and son had the Shrimp Po Boy.  Let me just show you how big this sandwhich is.



OMG!!!! It looked and tasted great.  My ten year old son fell in love with the sauce on the sandwhich.  My husband had his with sweet potato fries and my son had regular fries.  You definitely get your moneys' worth.

TooLooPeas gets a whole hearted TWO THUMBS UP!!! Stop by and get some great southern food at a great price.
