This place is never a disappointment. Food is outstanding.The owner and his employees are all great people. Granted it's a little hole in the wall, that I truly love to eat at. Friendly, great service. Food is spot on. I've had many orders of fried chicken and waffles. Just can't beat the taste. My brother had the meat loaf and sides, outstanding.

There was a small wait today, they said they were down people, little warmer inside but welllll worth the wait. I got the tri tip plate with mac & cheese and potato salad with an amazing sweet tea. The staff were all so kind despite having a rush. Hours are short here so definitely should plan ahead next time

Came with my mom and sister for lunch. The fried chicken here is so incredibly good. We also had chessy grits, greens and Mac and cheese and everything was so good. My mom also had the ox tails. They were a little small but came with plenty and they were so tender!! I had a sweet tea and let me tell you that was some sweeeeeet tea. The flavor was great but I did have to dilute it. I will definitely be coming back!

The service was friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was relaxed. Unfortunately, the food quality did not meet expectations and ultimately outweighs the positive service. The mac & cheese was extremely watery, with a thin, milky consistency and lacked proper texture and flavor. The ribs and tri-tip were dry, which points to execution issues rather than personal preference. While the hot link was acceptable, it wasn’t enough to balance the overall meal. Despite the friendliness of the staff, I would not return. Food quality is the foundation of a restaurant, and this experience fell short.

I've been to Chef Paul's a handful of times now, and it's HANDS DOWN, the best soul food restaurant you'll find in Fresno! Their fried chicken is bomb!! Crispy and well seasoned on the outside but juicy inside! Fried okra and fried green tomatoes also are amazing to share with the table. The hot link is delicious as well, definitely get the after kick of spiciness, but doesn't overwhelm! And the chili beans have deep flavor to them! Servers and staff are super friendly and you can tell they enjoy working there. Chef Paul is usually hanging out and stops by tables to say hello. The restaurant itself is small but has larger tables. Which is needed when you order so much food! Would recommend Chef Paul's to anyone looking for some good old-fashioned soul food
