Café Reconcile is a highly recommended spot, open for lunch from Tuesday to Friday. The food quality is incredible, especially the white beans with shrimp on Thursdays. The staff is friendly and always provides great service, making the overall venue wonderful. Prices are low, making it worth supporting their cause of training disadvantaged youth in culinary services. The atmosphere is welcoming, with a positive vibe that enhances the experience.
Customers can enjoy a variety of dishes, such as Seafood Mac & Cheese, hot shrimp with honey in a sweet sauce over greens, and the sweet potato crumble. The Bananas Foster bread pudding is a popular dessert, while the gumbo, collards, jerk chicken with Mac and cheese, and watermelon lemonade are other recommended menu items. Many customers have noted the food is always excellent, with some describing it as the best comfort food they've ever had, comparable to high-end restaurants. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful, spotless, and the staff are exceptional and attentive. The prices are very reasonable, and the food quality is outstanding.
Highlights include fried turkey necks, which are very tender and fall right off the bone, and the fried green tomato sandwich served on jalapeno cornbread toast—delicious and perfectly cooked. The bacon in the sandwiches is cooked just right, and the jalapeno cornbread toast is not dry but just perfect. Customers also enjoy gumbo, sweet potato crumble, and the crab cakes, which are highly praised. The menu is varied, and everything tried has been delicious. Though there can be some noise, it does not detract from the great meals. Overall, Café Reconcile is a great place to eat anytime, supporting a wonderful mission of helping young people succeed in culinary careers.
