It’s been a big year for Columbus cuisine. From the reopening of Veri Best Donuts to the arrival of King Claw Juicy Seafood and Bar, life around town sure brings the flavor. Well, now we have another place to try: Thelma’s Kitchen, located on Victory Drive. And, if soul food doesn’t sound tempting enough, this restaurant also has a very special mission—one you can help succeed. Read on to learn more!
About the mission
Second chances give people the opportunity to transform even the most difficult times into something meaningful. The founder of Thelma’s Kitchen, Nathaniel Walker, has taken this mission to heart. After receiving a second chance of his own, he realized the value of giving back.
That’s when he came up with the idea for his first restaurant, 26 years ago. There, he aimed to hire those who needed to turn over a new leaf—a chance that many people can struggle endlessly to find. At his restaurant, they could earn the revenue and references they needed to begin a fruitful new chapter in their lives.
He has brought this philosophy from his original restaurant to his new one. Not only will it bring jobs and revenue, but it will also draw us closer together. Plus, it will give many people the opportunity they need to change their lives—and the lives of those they love—for the better.

Almost two months have passed since Thelma’s Kitchen saw its successful opening day. Held in early July, it featured a ribbon-cutting ceremony—and of course some tasty eats! Thelma’s Kitchen Columbus joins two other Thelma’s Kitchens, which both serve customers in Eufaula, AL.
