Our Story

Built by Choice, Fueled by Community

At Citizen's Choice, the name says it all - every citizen has a choice. A choice to enjoy food made with heart, flavor, and purpose. What started as a leap of faith for Jamar Citizen during a time when he was out of work quickly became the beginning of something much bigger.


Jamar began by selling plate lunches, using his passion for cooking and serving others as a way to provide for his family and connect with his community. The support was immediate. Customers showed up, spread the word, and became more than just customers - they became family. Their motivation, encouragement, and continued support pushed Jamar to keep going.


That early success lead to the launch of the Citizen's Choice food truck, where the brand continued to grow, serving bold, soulful comfort food that brought people together one plate at a time. With his family by his side, Jamar took the next step in expanding the legacy of Citizen's Choice by opening his first brick-and-mortar location.


Today, Citizen's Choice stands as a family-owned restaurant built on faith, hard work, community, and unforgettable food. It is more than a place to eat - it is a place where people feel welcomed, valued, and at home.


And this is not the end. It is only the beginning of the legacy Citizen's Choice is building, one choice, one plate, and one customer at a time.
