| - Great stick to your ribs soul food!
This location is in the Lee Harvard Shopping Center around the corner from Villa. The restaurant itself isn't much to look at, just a short counter and small dining room with a handful of tables but that doesn't matter because the fried chicken is amazing! It's just like Gladys and Ron's in Atlanta! It's moist and tender and not too greasy. You can get it in dark or white meat, thighs and legs or breasts and wings.
Besides fried chicken Angie's offers catfish, whiting, tilapia, perch, salmon croquettes, shrimp, beef tips, pork chops, oxtails and beef and short ribs. Some of the sides offered are black eye peas, cabbage, yams, mac & cheese, potato salad, green beans and collard greens. Everything is fresh! Nothing is canned. Their waffles are outstanding as well! The only bad thing I can say about Angie's is that their cordbread muffins are a little dry.
The restaurant itself was pretty bare. Customers don't linger either, they order their food at the counter and wait for it to be prepared then leave.
Insider tip: Make sure to ask for some hot sauce for your fried chicken. They keep it behind the counter. While Angie's fried chicken doesn't need any condiments to be savored, the house hot sauce adds a welcome kick.
Bottom line, For quick, inexpensive and authentic soul food, you can't go wrong with Angie's Soul Cafe. While you can order the same food at various fast food restaurants, you'd be doing yourself a disservice by not visiting Angie's first!
