Beloved Arizona Restaurant Momma’s Soul Fish & Chicken to End Regular Restaurant Service, Transition to Catering

For many Arizona families, a visit to Momma’s Soul Fish & Chicken has meant comforting meals, warm hospitality, and a taste of home. Now, the beloved local restaurant is preparing for a major transition.

The restaurant announced that Sunday, August 9, will mark its final day of regular dine-in and takeout service as the owners step away from the demands of operating a full-time restaurant.

In a heartfelt message to customers, the Momma’s Soul Fish & Chicken team thanked the community for years of unwavering support, saying the decision comes with “a heart full of gratitude.”

“This is not a permanent goodbye to our flavors, but rather a shift in how we serve you,” the announcement said.

Rather than closing completely, the business will continue as a catering-only operation, allowing customers to enjoy its signature soul food, fried fish, and chicken at family gatherings, celebrations, corporate events, and other special occasions through custom catering orders.

The owners said they are taking “a well-deserved break” from the daily restaurant grind while remaining committed to serving the community in a new way.

Over the years, Momma’s Soul Fish & Chicken has built a loyal following, becoming a neighborhood favorite known not only for its comforting Southern-inspired cuisine but also for its welcoming atmosphere.

“You have turned our business into a true community staple, and we could not have come this far without you,” the restaurant shared in its farewell message.

The team is encouraging longtime customers and first-time visitors alike to stop by before the transition to celebrate the memories created over the years and enjoy one last dine-in or takeout meal before regular restaurant operations come to an end.

After August 9, customers can continue placing catering orders by contacting Momma’s Soul Fish & Chicken directly.
