Soul Food Restaurants near Suwanee, GA

“Dorothy Mae's is top tier ! I am from NC, so I KNOW good soul food. When I tell you they know what they are doing back in that kitchen, THEY DO ‼️ The customer service was amazing as well. The staff brought a container of fresh outta the grease catfish for us to sample as we waited for our food. It was delicious ! We ordered some of everything on the menu and it was all amazing, cooked to order, and so flavorful. I brought a piece of sweet potato pie back to the hotel for dessert and can't wait to try it. On their web page, it appears they are moving from Boxete to their own spot in Tucker, GA in a few weeks. This gem is terrific and they offer a catering menu as well. The prices are great, too.“

“Omg! Every time I’m here I love it more! Absolutely the BEST food, service, people. It’s all 10 stars! I used Suthern Cluck to cater a meal for 48 people (my son’s theater group) and it was raved about for weeks! They are the best at all they do and they do it with a superior execution! Chef’s kiss! 😘“

“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.“

“The food, service, and atmosphere… AMAZING! I had the sausage/egg/&cheese biscuit. With a side of their hash brown casserole— just like granny would’ve made it! Great place!“

“The empanadas are very good and the default sauce is pretty good. They used to be overpriced, but prices have adjusted down some which is good to see. Combos do not come with drinks. We only got two sauces with 3 3 piece empanada trios which I'm assuming was just overlooked, but I do know they want to charge if you ask for extra sauces. The chicken itself is expensive for what it is and I probably won't give it a chance. I just can't justify paying the price to try it when good chicken is available all over the place nearby. Service was slow we waited outside for at least 20 minutes for our food.“

“Get over there and get you some delicious food. I had a catfish plate with greens, Mac n cheese, cabbage & dressing and babyyyy it was amazing!!!!!!!!“

“I visited this cozy little restaurant and really enjoyed the warm atmosphere. The assorted pepper soup and beans with fried plantain were both delicious and well-prepared. However, the service was a bit clumsy, as only one person was serving all the customers, which made things a bit slow and disorganized. The owner came out to assist at some point, and she was very pleasant and welcoming. That said, they definitely need more hands on deck to improve efficiency and service flow. With better staffing, this place could really shine.“
