Edie’s Grill

Visited The Collective recently and chose Edie's for or my main meal after appetizers and drinks. I love Ethiopian food but had never tried "Sub-Saharan." A friend said the ribs were amazing but I went with the brisket dinner. I LOVED the jollof rice and the roasted veggies! The brisket was a bit stringy but that might have been the style of sub-Saharan prep. ????? I would order something else next time.

This is a miniature version of the chain located in The Collective - and they serve excellent African / Sub-Saharan cuisine like kabobs, jollof rice, fries, sandwiches and such - service also quick and plenty of seating in the interior food court area of The Collective.

This food was so good and not lacking any flavor! Beef was nice and tender and rice was perfectly seasoned and not dry at all. Their sauce on the side was spicy but that's what I like. Great choice!

Food was so so good! Seasoned well and cooked perfectly! I could have ate two plates!

Never having tried Subsaharan Cuisine before, I was, of course intrigued. So, I asked the dashing man behind the grill what he suggested. A few moments later, he brought out a steaming platter of heaven on earth. Tender, flavorful brisket, vegetables grilled to perfection. And The Rice. Oh, the RICE. This food is made with love, y'all. Get some.

What is there NOT to love about Edie's. So far I've tried the wings, soya sticks and both soya sandwiches which are my favorite by far. I usually go with chicken sandwich, it has so much flavor packed in the meat, the freshness of bell pepper and cucumber on the sandwich just prefects it. TODAY I got to try the beef soya and it blew my mind how juicy and tender the meat was. Just mind blowing. The jollop of rice is good, not my favorite. The veggies and a little underwhelming but the DODO, that's where it's at. They have a special sauce for the dodo and it's just perfection. The service is always welcoming and not long wait times. Lots of room to sit inside, including outdoor seating. Don't sleep in Edie's come try for yourself

This is 5 star food, plain and simple. If you are looking for a new spot, give this one a chance. My daughter and I stopped into The Collective after a long day of doctors appointments to try a variety of cuisines and lift our spirits. I made a beeline for Edie's because I've heard consistently that their food is phenomenal.We got the Sub-Saharan Pork Ribs meal with Dodo and Jollof Rice. The crew was working in the back so they didn't see us, no big deal, and I didn't want to ring the bell since I wasn't in a rush, so we just hung out for a few minutes looking over the menu. The interaction with the person taking the order was kind of weird, and my daughter asked if the worker knew me from somewhere and didn't like me because of the interaction. I don't know the worker, and my purpose was to try awesome food, and I understand anyone can have a bad day at any time, so I stayed positive, friendly, and didn't return the energy.The food would take a while, and we ordered other meals at a few others places in The Collective in between. Edie's was the only restaurant that didn't send a notice of a meal being ready, so when I went back to check I was met with a very annoyed worker, the same one from before. No problem, I thanked them and the second worker with them, got my food and enjoyed the meal with my daughter. This would be the sole reason for a 4 star rating rather than 5 star, just because a little kindness can go a long way, especially to two customers, one being a kid, just looking for a positive experience at the end of a rough day.I highly recommend Edie's Grill because the food is absolutely delicious, fresh, and comforting. I will be back, and will encourage other people to give it a try. I will review this place again in the future and I'm hopeful we'll catch a worker on a better day.
