From the moment you enter the restaurant at 6916 E. 30th St., the hustle never stops. MeganShinn takes you inside His Place Eatery as we continue to celebrate Black History Month.
“The feeling that you give someone when they come to His Place Eatery, you can’t get that anywhere else except for His Place Eatery,” Chef James Jones said.“It’s completely nuts, Sundays are typically our busiest day and it’s not uncommon that we’ll have a line out the door, waiting for us when we open up,” Jones said.
For nearly 13 years, Jones and his wife have owned the restaurant since he got out of working as a radio account executive and went to culinary school at Ivy Tech. Whether it’s pandemic to-go orders or in-person service, Jones said thriving as a Black entrepreneur isn’t easy. “We want to make sure that you get the same type of experience that you would get at any other type of establishment in town, regardless of ownership,” Jones said.“Sometimes you get kind of speechless, when you come in and you know people are coming from all over and now people are coming from all over the country. They seek us out,” Jones said.
