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“

“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.“

“I Saw This Restaurant On Facebook And Went And I got The 2 Fried Pork chops And 2 Sides One Was The Macaroni and Cheese And The Other Was The Yams But Let Me Tell U Yall This Restaurant Is A 10 go Try It Out The Chops WERE Fried Perfect And Those Yams were GOOD Honestly EVERYTHING LOOKED GOOD“

“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 The decor is very old & outdated, but there are a few tables if you'd like to eat inside or wait for your food.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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Dee has the best egg rolls around i mean so far the best in michigan for sure and i love to get them everytime im around with extra cheese. Now her prices might be a lil high but supply and demand people! Highly recommended you try it, you wont be disappointedTell them Nicole sent you ?“

“I was referred over to this place by a friend as we were discussing good bbq. I’m originally from the Midwest but spent my formative years in the Deep South. And hadn’t had great bbq in a while. Came this way to taste their so called amazing Beef Ribs but when I got here they were sold out so I settled for what I found out to be one the BEST DAMN CATFISH SANDWICHES I HAVE EVER HAD!!! (Yeah I know it wasn’t the bbq we had talked about). So I decided to come back because of the dang catfish sandwich. MAN I AM SO DAMN GLAD I DID!!!! Their BEEF RIBS AND RIB TIPS ARE FREAKING DELICIOUS!!!! A very friendly, clean well run environment. Every time I am in town I stop in here and it’s a hike because I stay in the Canton, MI area when I’m in town. Can’t say enough good things about BBQ Central. Everyone needs to try this spot. You will NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!“

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

“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!!“

“Food is cooked fresh and made to order. Very cordial and friendly atmosphere PROMPT DELIVERY“

“This Food was amazing seasoned to perfection the greens just melt very tender, the yams OMG not to sweet and not mushy the dressing taste like holiday time so good and the meatloaf was very good Mrs.T. your grandmother and mother taught you well .No more going to Motor city soul food PS.THE PRICE IS RIGHT TO .YOU WON'T GO WRONG“

“Stopped in today with several coworkers and took advantage of the $10 lunch special. Brisket sandwich and fries. Fries were pretty good but the brisket sandwich is what will bring me back. Very moist, well prepared and flavorful. The price is right as well. Wish I could have had a cocktail but there’s always next time. See ya soon.“

“The food was damn good and well worth the price I will be checking this place out again the ghetto Burger was good it really didn't stand out from any other Burger but it was still good the cheesecake dessert was the only thing I did not like and honestly it didn't even taste like cheesecake was more like Frozen cake so I'll pass on the dessert but everything else that I had was damn good.“

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

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