“Milwaukee When I tell you! I have not been on 45th and Center for over 20+ years! I must say the food was outstanding ?it’s a must go and must try. Real home cooked food to your soul. So glad I made this stop. We had the fried chicken,Mac Homemade Sweet potatoes, Greens, smothered chops. It’s was home away from home. I’m an entrepreneur 23years. So I must give recognition. Thank you for the excellent service and food.“
“We stop here will in Milwaukee and we were not disappointed. We had a large group (15 plus people) and the wait wasn’t long at all. The catfish was fresh and made to order and the service felt like family. They gave great portion sizes and my kids ate all their food and still wanted more! I highly recommend. I forgot to take a picture before eating.“
“I’ve been coming here a few years now! There’s not other restaurants that services me better. The finger licking food is just a PLUS! Today I came in extremely sick, but I craved my catfish. They gave me a small cup of chicken and dumpling for free. I love it there. A black business I will always support-Ms. Jackson“
“Catered for retirement party. In 30 years I have never had every employee like everything on the menu until now! Everything was freash, hot and delicious. Perch, greens, potato salad, baked chicken, Mac and cheese, peach cobbler. Order this food, you will not be disappointed. My employees are already asking for more at our next event“
“I went today for the first time everyone was so nice and the food was over delicious I’m from Chicago but reside in Milwaukee and this is the first restaurant in Milwaukee that I didn’t have to add any seasoning to my food it was seasoned just right my food was a lil cold but after I heated it up and tasted it that didn’t even matter they still earned 5 stars from me“
“Always a favorite. Older crowd, intelligent conversations. Good food and service. A gathering place in low key hours and a semi-upscale nightclub on "bar nights". When the mood hits, its my first pick.Kid-friendliness: Over 21 only except for rented eventsWheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp“
“The owner is always there. The food is freshly cooked. If you looking for homemade southern food here is the best place I have ever been in the 30 years I’ve lived in Milwaukee they always have special events, these shows as well, and the prices are reasonable.“
“My wife and I is from Indiana I was in Wisconsin working and I ask her to find a place for us to go and eat she made an excellent chose. I had the smothered chicken, rice and gravy, mash potatoes and gravy with a bread roll. I must say I cleaned my plate.“

“Mrs Shea and her husband catered our home wedding ceremony. As we’re already regulars, we knew we had to serve her food to our guests! She really paid attention to the details, helped plan a menu, and went above and beyond in service & quality!! The reviews from guests were outstanding. (Especially our pup that she also spoiled!) We made sure to include her greens & Mac as options, two of our favorites! She did a follow up call to ensure customer satisfaction and take feedback. I highly recommend Lily Bell’s.“
“Everything is always SOO GOOD! Don’t believe not one bad review. I’ve been several times and each time I’m never let down. The best soul food I’ve had in Milwaukee hands down and I’m from Chicago! So trust me, I know good food. It’s hard to find it in Milwaukee.The food is packaged with Love and made with love, grandma definitely got her hands in that food hunnie!??.“
“WOW! All I can say is WOW!!! Tender, flavorful, satisfying, the bread, the fried okra, corn beef, rib tips, Turkey tips, smoked Mac-n-Cheese and the peach cobbler egg roll … wait all of it FANTASTIC!!! God bless the hands that made my food! ?????? My soul is happy now I need a nap ???“
“So yesterday I decided to take a chance on a place because of all the talk about their turkey leg. Now, I’ve had food poisoning from a turkey leg before and hadn’t eaten one in about 7 years but I missed it. So I ordered one from 1700 Pull Up. ?️YAW!!! YAWWWWWW!!!! DO NOT SLEEP ON 1700 Pull Up ?Kid-friendliness: Young lady was very kind when I entered“
“We absolutely loved our food after our second visit this past Sunday, we even invited church members to join us for our to-go orders...I was very disappointed with the very, very, very (did I say VERY) LONG WAIT...I really didn't like the fact that the young lady that was helping (just 2 people) was going back and forth to the restroom more times than I can count...(SMH)THEY MOST DEFINITELY WILL NEED HELP ON SUNDAYS (Peak hours 11:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.)just a humble suggestion...also prepare more food in advance for those most busy days and the most popular items....and really make sure that the seasoning stay consistent across the board With the Soul Food Menu...Thanks for the opportunity to have to be able to visit your establishment. Not sure if I will make it my weekly stop, especially after having to wait 45-min to an hour for our food. And was really disappointed that all the listed menu items were not available ?Continued Blessings For Your Next Years in Business with God's Abounding Favor and His Grace.“
