Soul Food Restaurants near Redford, MI

“Lilly Bell's did a superb job of catering my baby shower / birthday gathering event. They were prompt and professional and the food was so good!!! I recommend this catering company for anybody who's interested in good quality food prompt service and very a very respectful staff.“

“Delicious food, well priced, creative menu! Love this place!“

“The food here is great. This was our 1st time here. We were here all the way from Wisconsin for an event and i asked who got the best soul food in town and was told to stop by Cornbread. Amazing food, and service, and the place was clean. The Staff went above the call of duty. Ms. Donya if you see this, you are a JEWEL! This lady was right on time with everything. We visited the restaurant on Friday upon arrival to Michigan and was the first customers on Sunday 11:30AM as we were leaving from Michigan to return home. Go here, you will not be disappointed. The PRICE IS RIGHT.....and the Staff is BRIGHT!“

“Bday dinner party, I had the fried chicken, greens, amd mac/cheese.“

“Wow ? as you enter there was a level of warmth from the greetings received. The STAFF was phenomenal, and appeared to have a great working unisons.. The food was the bomb ? my cousin and his college friend/brother was visiting from Northern California and needed some soul food made by special hands….. well Cornbread has it…. Not only was the ambience a vibe with their decor but the food is AMAZING… it was overall a great experience“

“Food was pretty good. Got the ox tails and beef neck bones. Greens was good not too have meat. Loved the sweet potatoes 🥔. Highlight of the day was the Peach 🍑 cobbler it was really really good to me. That crust was on point 👉“

“Had a taste for Soul Food. I was traveling 75N through Detroit and wanted to find an authentic place right off the interstate. When I got my food and had a side of hot sauce that I didn't specifically request, I knew this was the real deal. Took me 10 minutes to get there off of the interstate. Most people probably place their order online and pickup because there is no in person dining. Option 2, which is what I did, is to walk up to the window and order. My food took about 20 minutes to get ready. I ordered 2 plates. Each plate comes with 2 sides. The serving size is large so you definitely get your money's worth. I'm from the South. The food reminded me of home. Altogether between both plates I tried fried porkchops, meatloaf smothered in gravy, collard greens, yams, Mac and cheese, and cornbread. I will definitely stop here again.“

“As soon as I got out of my car, the smell of delicious food assaulted my nose. I was hoping the food was as good as it smelled. I was not disappointed. Even though the food was basic, everything was seasoned just right & that made the difference. The jerk wings were not jerk to me, but had a nice smokey flavor. The mac & cheese did not look that great & I wish it had been baked longer, but was still tasteful. I prefer fresh green beans these days, but theirs was the old school kind with potatoes & again, seasoned just right. The cornbread was sweet if you like a Jiffy box flavor. The wait time was a standard 15 minutes. The decor is very old & outdated, but there are a few tables if you'd like to eat inside or wait for your food. I drove over 30 minutes to try their food and If I'm ever in the area again, I'd return.“

“Love this place I'm addicted to the food“

“Yall I literally love this place! This is one of the spots that I gate-Keep because I really don’t want a lot of people knowing about this place, not even my siblings. The workers are always nice and the food is good and Great prices! they have soul food and pizza and it doesn’t taste extremely unhealthy like these other chain fast food places. I just got some food from them on Monday and I’m going back again today 😂 As a Detroit native if you haven’t had this place, I HIGHLY suggest eating here!“

“I drove over 45 minutes for this food and have no regrets will be back for more“

“Food was delicious especially the veggie rice and the customer service was great“

“We seen this place on the Internet and oh my gosh it lives to the standard for sure the turkey leg was amazingly good and tender. The chicken I had the week before was great. My man said the fish was on point all the sides were good and I’m a green girl the greens were an A+. I do understand it’s a lot of people, but the service to me was a little chaotic. I felt rushed to order and I felt like I didn’t want to ask a question I was gonna get the evil eye.. lol“

“My first time here and I am hooked!

I tried the beef rib slab dinner that comes with two large sides (macaroni and yams) and two whole wings that did not make the pictures since they were devoured in the car! (I paid for one and got two, what a pleasant surprise!) I had to try the dessert, so I bought a large peach cobbler. ( I was also gifted the fried biscuits that were a 10/10).

Nita R hooked me up and really went above and beyond and made sure I would be back. Make sure you take care of her! $$$

I was not asked to leave a review but the service and food were too good NOT to show love. 💕

“Sitting here this good Sunday morning anticipating the day J's Cafe will reopen. I can't wait, and it's been too long. Nobody in Detroit makes Salmon croquets served with rice and gravy 😋 (my preference over grits)👌with scrambled eggs as good as J's does. This is my ultimate hands down favorite breakfast spot that brings that southern down home soulfood taste 😋 to your stomach. The dinners are fire too! This was a very happening place and a lot of us are patiently waiting for you to return. Sunday mornings aren't the same without J's Cafe ain't no lie in the truth and that's coming from your favorite DDOT bus driver Roger Webb aka Big Unc.“

“Great food and nice vibe! We came after the Lathrup Village Community Foundation’s 2025 Summer Concert Series. Awesome time.“

“I craved for the Jerk chicken dinner that comes with two sides. Plentiful, reasonable prices. Mac n cheese is so good, the greens melted in my mouth. Mask was worn and glass between chefs and the patrons.“

“Love Karaoke on Fridays and the smothered turkey chops! yum“

“Over the top experience, food was immaculate. The service was provided in a timely fashion even though I placed a last minute emergency order they made sure to tell me not to panic and made sure that my birthday party was a total success. I recommend them to everyone whether it’s catering or a single plate dinner the options are incredible and the Mac and cheese is to die for !“

“Was driving by and decided to stop in and try something new and im glad I did. Very warm energy from the staff; feels like you're amongst family. The food was GOOOOD. And they have so many manu items that I cant wait to go back and try. I meant to take a pic of the food but I started eating it before I pulled off and next thing I know it was gone. 10/10 would recommend!!“
