I have been long awaiting my chance to experience the Peach Cobbler Cafe and it finally happened!
I was in the area last night and wanted some soul food, clearly Peach Cobbler Cafe was the win for the night. Upon walking in, I was greeted with a huge personality filled “Welcome to Peach Cobbler Cafe!” As I took in the overall ambiance, there is a mostly open floor plan. The menu was to my left as soon as you walked in which allowed me to figure out what I wanted before walking up to the register. In full transparency. I was taken aback by the prices, however, understanding that inflation is real I continued and placed my order.
I decided on the Rib Tips Dinner with Macaroni and Cheese and Yams. Of course, I chose Peach Cobbler as my dessert… Upon placing my order I went to have a seat. All the booths towards the back were dirty which was odd as there was no one in the restaurant besides one other person who was towards the front. Hmmm, this made me wonder when the last wipe down was for any of the tables. Nonetheless, I decided to take my chances and have a seat.
About 10 minutes after sitting down my order was ready. As you can see by the images, the presentation was amazing and the portions were a good size for $35.
Let’s talk Taste:
Yams - The yams tasted like doctored up canned yams. They weren’t bad overall, however, I wasn’t flavor-ly pleased with the approach to making them taste “not so canned.” On a scale of 1 - 10, I would rate them a 5.
Macaroni and Cheese - The Mac and Cheese was good. Flavorful, well done, cheesy and definitely satisfied the homemade craving. On a scale of 1 - 10, I would rate this side a 7.
Rib Tips - The Rib Tips were meaty, well seasoned, smokey, and tender. The sauce was mild, well flavored, and paired perfect with the smokiness of the tips and the natural presence of the pork juice. On a scale of 1 - 10, I would rate the tips an 8.3.
Cornbread - The cornbread was very good. It was spongy and had a smooth texture to it. The sweetness to corn ratio was spot on which allowed for a satisfying of the sweet and salty desire. Along with the perfect flavor balance, it was buttery. Oh yeah! This is the kind of cornbread that would pair well with dinner or coffee. LoL! On a scale of 1 - 10, I would rate the cornbread a 9.
Peach Cobbler - The Peach Cobbler stole the entire show. I’m talking what in the good goodness, grandma in the kitchen showing off, soul pleasing goodness. This dessert was amazing and delectable enough to make me come back for an order of Peach Cobbler all by itself. On a scale of 1 - 10, I would rate the Peach Cobbler a 10.
**Sidenote, ensure to check your bag before you leave. My peach cobbler was left out of my bag originally.**
Overall, my experience at Peach Cobbler Cafe wasn’t bad. For $35, I anticipated better flavor profiles amongst each dish, however, I wouldn’t be opposed to ordering a meal from here again.

Would not recommend anyone eating here. I ordered the oxtail and rice with yams and cornbread dressing. Yams was half cooked and had no flavor....dressing was like dried mash potatoes.... and the rice under my ox tails was drowning in oil. I literally became sick after eating a quarter of this meal. It's been 2 hours, and I'm still battling gi symptoms. I'm normally not the one to post a bad review, but never again
Update.... finally went to sleep about 3am to wake up this morning still sick. I'm heading to the ER... all I wanted was a good dinner! This is ridiculous to endure this much, lose as much sleep, and now my husband is missing time at work to take care of me.

The food did not taste like homemade soul food. The cornbread was dry.
Way overpriced for the quality of their food.
