The chicken fried steak was so good, with white rice and mashed potatoes both with oxtail gravy. Fine home cooking at it best. Excellent service, place will get crowded for lunch but the food is worth the wait. Waiter recommendations are highly recommended since they...Read More

2/10/2019. Great place for a home cooked meal. Friendly atmosphere. Shaquila provided outstanding customer service. I had the meatloaf with collard greens, cabbage and cornbread. Good serving size for those who are watching their portion sizes. The only down side of the meal was that...Read More

Absolutely loved it. Remember the scene in Ratatouille where the guy remembers his entire childhood from a bite of food?That is this restaurant. I've never experienced anything like it. I was transported hundreds of miles away to my grandmother's kitchen. It was a perfect meal.

The front walk-in needs more attention. The restaurant needs a makeover. They need another host due to her speed at service. My last visit wasn't what I expected and was quite embarrassing from her. Now that I have stated...Read More

Wasn't too pleased with my meal. I ate there before and it was great, but this time around it was a waste of money. The chicken was bland and didn't have much of a taste. The candied yams tasted like they came straight out of...Read More

Cafe 209 USED to be the standard...a community staple. My entree (hamburger steak) was mediocre at best. The mashed potatoes definitely tasted fresh from the box. My field peas and cornbread were enjoyable. The yams were awesomeness but not enough to warrant the wait. ...Read More

Very good and cozy place. The brown gravy works so well with the mashed potatoes and country fried steak. The Mac and cheese is wonderful and exactly what you want out of southern Mac and cheese. The glasses for drinks are huge so you're definitely...Read More
