    Desert case
    Genevieve P.

    Excellent food and customer service today was my husband and I first time trying this place. Usually we go to Mookies, but we wanted to try another soul food restaurant. We were both impressed!! The atmosphere was chill and customers weren't rude to each other. Will be going again

    Candied yam seasoned very nicely. Not too sweet.

    Picked up food after church. Small area in the back of Abbeys Liquor store. The food was very tasty but a more costly than others I've gone to. No cornbread with some selections. No beverage included. The wait wasn't very long. My pork chop dinner with 2 small sides was $20.

    Smoked Turkey Greens, and Candied Yams better than your Mommas

    I had a chance to taste this today, and the food was unbelievable. The smoked turkey greens were full of smokey turkey just the way I like it. Do yourself and your family a favor and treat them to this Awesome Diamond.

    finally got to try this spot and I was super excited but the food was very underwhelming. The lamb chops were good, they're the normal Detroit flavor with zip sauce. No worries there. It was the sides that threw me off. The lack of seasoning was surprising in both the mac and spaghetti. Probably wouldn't come back because I would want the same sides.

    Awesome service Friendly staff Great selection Definitely recommend giving them a try

    What can I say, I enjoyed everything. Smothered pork chops....wow. Collard greens, mac n cheez, baked beans, candied yams all made me forget it was the middle of the week and not Soul Food Sunday! I can't speak to another persons experience. I'm just telling you about my experience. Ordered carry out/delivery. i can't speak to the location or staff. Im satisfied with the results. I admit it is a little pricey but it was worth it for this meal this time. Gotta save some more money so I can go back.

    Wanting a comforting Seafood dish this Sunday. I chose this restaurant while perusing doordash for something yummy. I found it under the Black business tab. I ordered the New Orleans potato with Cajun shrimp. I was not disappointed. The potatoes are huge. Mine was cook superfection. The large shrimp were seasoned well, with just the right amount of Cajun spices. I also ordered the strawberry banana pudding. I was a decent treat. The fresh strawberries are a great addition. The price point is not for the faint. The potato alone is $19. The Rachael Ray in me could eat carryout/delivery twice at that price point. I didn't mind spending a bit more than I think it's truly worth because this meal was a Valentine's Day treat for myself.

    Lillie Bell's Macaroni and cheese

    I entered the store from the rear parking door. There is a small area in the back of the store. This is Lillie Bell's area. The staff were pleasant and greeted me quickly. My online order was there waiting; piping hot. I order the fried chicken wing dinner with macaroni and cheese and greens. I added a side of small potato salad and sweet potato to make the meal enough for two people. Surprising, the potato salad was good the macaroni and cheese was very good; not overly seasoned. The fried chicken (per my bff) was "off the chain" lol. The collard greens were a bit bitter for my taste. The sweet potatoes had a weird taste to them, almost as if they used a chemical sweetener of some sort. I couldn't tolerate the taste. My bff thought the same but said "they're cooked good." She added more cinnamon to hide the taste. The polite and prompt customer service and the amazing taste of the macaroni and cheese were enough to carry this review to four stars. The bitter greens and the weird taste of the sweet potatoes should be an easy fix. Im sure its a simple quality control issue. I would definitely order from this carry out restaurant again without hesitation. I recommend everyone to try their macaroni and cheese. They use real cheese and it's definitely made with love.

    The food was seasoned to perfection. Most soul food places the food is salty, not this. Try it, I'll bet you won't be disappointed.

    Bates Burgers - 2 cheeseburgers

    I had to hit up another old school Detroit Slider Spot. Bates was delicious!…read more I took a seat at the counter and ordered 2 cheeseburgers and a glass of water. The cheeseburgers here come with grilled onions, pickles on the side, meat and cheese. You can add your own ketchup/mustard. The burgers were incredible! Super soft bun, lots of onions, good beefy flavor! They didn't need any doctoring, honestly. I did add ketchup/mustard to my 2nd cheeseburger. If I didn't eat pizza before, I could have easily ate 5 of these burgers. The lady behind the counter was very friendly and I can see why they have been serving up awesome burgers since 1959! The burgers were bomb!

    Burgers are consistent flavor wise and a must try. I like mine with extra grilled onions. Coney's…read morehave been hit or miss bun wise. Sometimes they are soft and sometimes they've been hard like they either left the bag open or they were old. They have a $2.75 coney special on Wednesday's. The service can be stellar or it can feel really rushed. I stopped by today for a coney hoping the bun was palatable. The woman working was having a long conversation with people sitting inside and I waited a while before I was acknowledged at the carryout counter. I would have left if there was something else around open. Standard neighborhood coney vibes. You can avoid the lunch rush by ordering online. My order has always been accurate so I appreciate the attentiveness when it comes to packing orders at least.
