Cafe De Soul

This little dive is very easy to miss and is certainly not a place that would grab your attention when you drive by. My wife and I have driven past the place 100 times and she finally talked me into trying it out for lunch. WOW. Awesome food. We both had ribs, I went for a double order of spaghetti as my side, the wife went with green beans and yams. The portions were large and came with a cornbread muffin. Ribs were fall off the bone tender and the spaghetti was very good. I am normally not a green bean fan, but I tasted the ones my wife ordered and they were delicious! It looked like small pieces of potato and I don’t know what else in them. I never eat yams but these were great. Too sweet for my taste as a side, but I had them for «dessert» after finishing my meal. Tasted more like sweet potato pie than anything and dipping the cornbread muffin in the sauce was sinfully good. EVERYTHING was home made from scratch. We were way too full to try any of the desserts (cakes, peach cobbler, sweet potato pie) but I will sample them next trip. The menu is not large but be sure to ask as there are several items available not listed. I was craving some fried chicken, which I was told was available, but I’d already ordered the ribs. I’m going for the chicken next visit… collard greens were an option (not listed) as well but I am not a fan. My ONLY con would be no butter for the muffin. but it was moist without it and after I figured out how good it tasted dipped in the yam sauce, I would not have used it had it been there! We were totally stuffed for less than $ 20. We are already planning to head back next week. Give this place a try… you won’t regret it!!!
