| - My wife and I found this location in the Lee Harvard Shopping Center, not too long after flying in to Cleveland-Hopkins airport for our trip to Ohio during Thanksgiving in November 2012. The restaurant itself isn't much to look at from outside, and even inside it is just a short counter and small dining room with a few tables, an old bubble screen TV, and something that looked like a jukebox. Somehow I didn't have any doubts because when I scouted the place on yelp before our trip to Cleveland, I knew if it had many good reviews, it couldn't be bad unless something went terribly wrong this day. We ordered our food we wanted and I would say the only thing that was negative about our experience here was the long wait for our food to come out. Even then, it was just a tad bit annoying as the food turned out absolutely great!
I had chicken and waffles for the first time in a long time. I also had mac and cheese and something else I don't remember, by the time I started eating everything, it was going down together and it was tasting too damn good for me to remember what it was. I barely remember what my wife had, but it involved some sort of smothered baked chicken which was also delicious as hell. I loved that special Kool-aid that Angie's served. It was probably the best tasting Kool-Aid I've ever had.
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.
I agree with who said to ask for some hot sauce for the fried chicken that gives it a good welcome kick. I also agree that she was bargain-priced for the amoutn of food served. My wife and I were so full when we left that we probably took a nap when we got back to the hotel.
What a treasure in a non-descript part of town Angie's was. They sure know what soul food is supposed to taste like and it was so good that the next day, Thanksgiving dinner, though great at my grandma's house, wasn't quite the same...I still had the taste of chicken and waffles in my mouth!
