Our story Get directions
Good food. Good people. Good times.
Edith's Place is a downtown Port Arthur institution — the kind of hole-in-the-wall the locals guard like a secret. Everything is cooked from scratch each morning: the gravies simmer slow, the chicken hits the oil golden, and the cornbread comes out of the skillet.
No frills, no shortcuts. Just honest Southern plates served with the kind of warmth that makes strangers feel like family.
