Annie Lee’s Bakery & Diner

Today, we had the absolute privilege of visiting Annie Lee's Bakery and Diner as part of the Buy Black Business Bus Tour with the Melanin Market, and let me tell you--it was like being personally escorted into foodie heaven. From start to finish, this place delivered an experience so good it could probably write its own autobiography.Let's talk about my husband's order first: Oxtails. Now, these aren't even on the Saturday menu, but Jacob, our waiter (and now honorary family member), worked his magic and made it happen. If that's not next-level customer service, I don't know what is. He paired those oxtails with collard greens and sweet potatoes, and trust me, they were so good they practically demanded a standing ovation.I went the veggie route with collard greens, rice and gravy, a side salad, and yams--but because I don't play around when it comes to food, I added grilled shrimp. Every single item on our plates was seasoned with so much love and skill that my taste buds were basically doing the electric slide by the end.And the desserts? Oh, we weren't leaving without cake. Key Lime and Yellow Cake joined the party, but then the staff really outdid themselves. Someone casually dropped that it was our 21st wedding anniversary (thanks for snitching, Jacob!), and the staff surprised us with a song, more cake, and ice cream. I almost started bawling right there in the middle of the diner. Like, ugly cry bawling.Long story short, the food is a masterpiece, but the staff? They're what makes Annie Lee's truly special. I'd give them 10 stars if I could. I'll definitely be back for more--and not just for the food, but to hang out with the kind of people who make you feel like family from the moment you walk in. Annie Lee's, you've got my heart (and probably most of my paycheck).

Annie Lee's was good on the customer service side y'all, and by this I mean our party of four were seated right away and checked on more times than I can count but in a good way. I love how they have the young folks serving and waitressing, which seems great for the community. Angel, our waitress was really good and Lisa co-owner of the place was lovely to talk to, as she stopped by our table while we were finishing up our meal, to see how were were, which was appreciated. The space was pretty large in size and there was a separate room for more private dinners. Everyone in my party enjoyed their food and as a note it was seasoned well, meaning it wasn't overly seasoned with salt, but with an array of flavors. The corn bread was just right and the veggies were super tasty. I'd definitely visit again.

Since this place close early I would say it's a great place for lunch or early dinner. Nice music and ambiance. Food was delicious and cooked to order. Desert looked delicious. Customer service is great.

We were invited to a surprise birthday celebration here tonight. It was our first time here. The dining area is spacious and has a bar along with very large TV's on the wall. Very cute barn doors lead to the bakery area where they have baked goods and ice cream. They offer daily specials today they had shrimp and grits, 20 piece fried shrimp with fries for $20, and seafood salad. We ordered two kids Mac and cheeses, the shrimp and grits , and a order of the 20 piece shrimp. For such a large gathering our food came out rather quickly. Everything was piping HOT!!! Everything was delicious and presently surprised how large the shrimp was. We also ended up heading over to the bakery side to get my toddlers ice cream and when I saw the bake goods I fall in love and had to have a slice of cake!!! It was hard to decide which one but I went with the lemon. The staff was excellent and helped make my friend's birthday party a success.

The food the atmosphere and the family feel you get when you visit for the holiday. I hope 2024 will be just as great!!

Amazing Restaurant with great ambiance. The food and service were received was above average and I would highly recommend

I happened to find this bakery/diner by chance. If you're not paying attention, you'd definitely miss the location. I just happen to be driving on Main Street and took a random turn into a Harvey's plaza. Located about two buildings over is Annie Lee's Bakery & Diner. I went close to closing time. The diner portion was closed by the time I got there, but the bakery was still open. I decided to try a red velvet cupcake. The cupcake was a nice size. There is also an area for ice cream as well. I thought that was pretty cool.The owner was also very nice. She even let me look in at the restaurant side. The establishment looked very nice on the inside. I'm excited to come back and try the food. It smelled really tasty.

I was so very pleasantly surprised by the freshness and taste of this food that I happened to stumble across. The place is beautiful inside, the staff friendly and food delicious. The perfect trifecta!

This place is a breath of fresh air for black owned business...not only was the food on point but the service was as well. First the food: I had the oxtails and hubby had the chitterlings, both were generous portions and so well seasoned. Second the service: ALL the servers were attentive even if they were not actually our servers and very friendly as well. This will definitely be a go to place for us. Third the music: modern jazz just gives it a classy vibe.

The food was good. Service a little slow but very friendly. The ambiance felt like a friend's home. I ate here a few times and it went okay. The desserts are great!
