The iconic restaurant founded by the late Elouise Adams Jones brought Southern comfort fare to the Houston table.
“We’ve lasted so long not just because of dishes like shrimp and grits,” said Dinari, a restaurateur who came to Jones in 2003 as a consultant and soon became general manager, then restaurant partner, and eventual owner in 2018. “It’s because we didn’t follow the trend of chasing after new customers and youngsters who could now afford to eat at a white tablecloth restaurant. We stuck with our clientele and their kids continued to come.
That’s a lot of pimento cheese. Wafi Dinari fondly remembers Jones reflecting on the impact of that cheese as she watched yet another sandwich being prepared: “She had a big smile and said, ‘Yep, that’s how I paid for my first car.’ ” For generations, until illness curbed her work in 2016, Miss Ouisie was a fixture at her restaurant. She died on January 10, 2022 on her 79th birthday from health complications from dementia and Parkinson’s Disease.
