Tried it for the first time and glad we finally did. We got there an hour before closing and the food, served buffet style, still tasted fresh. Everything was seasoned well. I had the chicken dressing, yams and greens. Took me back to a dinner at Grandma's house. Daughter got fried chicken, mash potatoes and Mac n cheese; SIL got baked chicken, pintos and Mac n cheese. They were also impressed with their choices. We will definitely be back!

Traveling and wanted soul food from a black owned establishment. Came up on Minnie Lee's and they did not disappoint. My party of 5 all agreed that it taste just like we were eating at Big Momma's after Sunday service. Even the Koolaid and sweet tea where phenomenal. We will be back in this area in a few months and Minnie Lee's will definitely be on the agenda.

I didn’t take photos because I didn’t want to interrupt my meal. It was that good! I had baked chicken, Mac n cheese (heaven on Earth), and green beans. I haven’t had a meal like that outside of home in a very long time! The staff were friendly and very warm. Please patronize this restaurant! You won’t regret it!
So first of all, the service is great. I want to come back just to talk with my new friend.? But second the food was exactly what I wanted. I had Googled "country cooking near me", and found this gem of a place. I ordered the smothered pork chops, black eyed peas, and baked macaroni amd cheese. It also came with cornbread and a sweet tea. We joked and the lady told me that I would have plenty leftover, although it was so good I couldn't stop eating it lol, and ate pretty much the entire plate. Def will be back in the near future.

I have been trying to find a "meat and 3" type restaurant for a long time. When you eat out alot it's tiresome having hamburgers, tacos, chicken, pizza, etc. Even the bigger restaurants like Mexican, sushi, steakhouses, Italian, Asian cuisine, BBQ, Chinese, French, or Seafood all get old after awhile. The closest I have seen that actually have more vegetables than potatoes is Cracker Barrel but it's always the same. I just wanted some really good down home cooking.I came across this place from looking up food places near me after a dr appointment in Decatur and it just happened to be up at the next red light. So I told my son to pull the car in and let's see. As others have mentioned from 1st looks the parking lot really didn't have alot of cars but I took it was because we were there at an odd hour. They aren't like most places that open only for breakfast, lunch, supper closing in between times. They are open all day so there are plenty of people that can go in and out without the stress of trying to grab something between 11-2 like other "meat and 3" seem to be and waiting with large crowds for mediocre food is what you get at those places.The food is wonderful. The 1st time I got the fried pork chops, fried potatoes, and cabbage with corn bread. They offer 2 kinds of cornbread and I told her I didn't know the difference so she gave me some of both to try! Both were delicious. My son got chicken, cabbage, macaroni and cheese, and (turnip/,collard)greens and we both loved it all.It's now the place we go anytime we are in Decatur on that side of town. I think I have tried everything they've had so far except the pot roast and salmon patties (that's right they have the kind grandma used to make and I've never heard of ANY other restaurant making them) but those are usually sold on Sundays she said. It's just comfort food at its best and honestly where else can you even find food like fried potatoes etc anymore. The sweet tea is good but the last time I got lemonade by accident (I grabbed my kids cup) and it's the best I've ever had! I don't even like lemonade so the kids thought it was funny.I will admit that I haven't been out to one in a VERY long time and wasn't expecting the price but the last I'd been in like this was 10-15 years ago and it was like $7 then ? so my son laughed at the face I made when I said mama needs to get out more. The sides of meat range from $6 to $8 with sides of vegetables being $5 to $7 I think. The meat and 2 is $15 and meat and 3 is $18 I believe. However it is worth it because the food is great and the portions are enough that I split for lunch and supper.Take the time to visit here. If you like home cooking this is the place for you. It reminds me of a place called M&M soul food that used to be in downtown Courtland. The staff has always been extremely nice and I've gotten to know the cook and she's a sweetheart of a person!

A friend and I had lunch here on a Monday. The place is a hole in a wall, but the good is so good. This building used to be a Hardees when I was a kid. The meatloaf and vegetables were amazing! Honestly, I can't describe how delicious it was.They asked us to leave because they had to cater food somewhere. We were finished eating, so that was no big deal. We finished our talk in my truck. However, four people drove up to eat there and couldn't because the doors were locked. We told them they had left to cater.So just be aware of that, maybe call before going. They could use some signage. Then again, they may predominantly be a catering business.Either way, the good was AMAZING!
