Another great experience. I try to stop here whenever I'm in town. I got there when lunch was starting but the owner was gracious enough to make a salmon platter brunch for me. Excellent food, excellent service with Southern charm

Service 10/10 every time. The lady at the front was friendly and informative. The Turkey wings was ok 7/10. The collard greens was amazing 10/10 Turkey meat in them. The yams same 10/10 sweet and perfect. The cake was 8/10 i prefer the cornbread. The cornbread is as sweet as cake the pumpkin spice one was amazing. The ambiance is cute a lil small.

Was in the area and had someone recommend Addie Love's Soul Food Cafe so I gave it a try for lunch and was not disappointed. This is your local "mom and pop" style restaurant where it's small enough for the owners to know their patrons personally, which I liked. It isn't a large restaurant but there is some seating if you want to sit down and enjoy your meal -- I got mine to go as it was my lunch break and I wanted to get back home. The staff was nice and accommodating and there was fruit flavored water available for free as you wait for your order. I got the Chicken Wing Platter with collard greens and vegetable medley and you could literally taste the love used to make each item. The food was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The vegetable medley did have onion though and I'm not a fan of onion so I just picked around them but for that reason I probably wouldn't order that side again (it was too much work picking over the onion, lol). The cornbread was really good also (it's not featured in the pics because I ate it on my drive back home -- I love cornbread, lol).I will definitely be returning soon and will try out a different dish, maybe the salmon or Turkey wings!

Absolutely excellent cuisine. Anytime we don't cook for a whole household, my husband I run to pick up dinner here. We have had the best time with staff and supporting a neighborhood business.

Service was horrible owner very disrespectful and unprofessional. I purchased some turkey wings that taste like rubber, the fish had a fouls smell to it the greens were not done and the yams were not cooked well. I brought the food back and the owner of the restaurant was very unprofessional she was upset because I told her the food was nasty. She replied I must don't know what good food taste like. I then asked why did the fish have a foul smell she replied look just give the fucking food back. I told her that was a very unprofessional response she then said please get the hell out of my establishment. I told her I was gonna report her restaurant and she said she didn't give a damn. I would never visit this restaurant again it's always our own kind that act a fool.

The fish sandwich has a taste to it I couldn't figure it out! After a few bites I threw it away. Shortly after I felt sick and started vomiting and using the restroom. I went to the hospital and the sickness lasted for 4 days. Do Not eat Here.

Coming from south Florida my daughter and I had an order of great tasting fish and grits with toast. The grits had a hit of sugar with cheese melted in and stir fried bellpeppers and onions on the top, tasted so good. I liked that the fish was well seasoned without too much salt. At the time the man who served us stated he had a headache and wasn't very talkative, but he was polite and cooked our order himself. A little music in the air or a tv playing would have made the time pass a little faster while we waited for our breakfast, even though it might have taken him about fifteen minutes to prepare.
