    I highly recommend the chicken and dressing and ox tails they are mouthwatering Amazing food and…read moregreat service!!! I will definitely be back..

    My mom and I visited Minnie Lee's yesterday to give them a try while we were in Decatur. It's…read moreyummy - a good option for soul food! This restaurant is across the street from the fairly popular Francesco's Italian restaurant. Having been there before, I didn't have any troubles locating this place. The parking lot is a little rugged in spots but at least there's plenty of space. The inside is a little sparse but there's ample seating and some kind of cool drawings hanging on the walls. A portrait of who I can only assume to be Minnie Lee is near the entrance. Food is served cafeteria style by some very nice people. Seriously, the service was so warm and sweet. We felt very welcomed there. We both decided on fried chicken for lunch. My mom got the last breast from the batch so I wound up with a thigh, which isn't my favorite piece but I still like it okay. You can have more than two sides if you wish, but we didn't. I chose yams and fried potatoes as mine, while my mom got yams and cabbage. Note that their cabbage is cooked with sausage. For bread, they offered standard cornbread muffins or hot water cornbread, which the friendly staff recommended (good choice!). We both opted for sweet tea to drink. I'm not sure of the price because of course my mom snuck in and paid for both of our meals before I could notice! Lol. We found a clean booth and dug in quickly. Overall, the food was pretty good! This isn't necessarily a new favorite soul food place for me, but I'd definitely come back. The best item was honestly the cabbage! My mom let me taste a bite. So flavorful and perfect texture. This is real, southern-style cabbage (which is to say, probably not great for you...but quite tasty!). The hot water cornbread was also really good. It's different than the hot water cornbread I've had in the past; this version was very crispy on the outside with super soft, almost gooey, corny inside. It was yummy. The yams were also solid! Not the best I've ever had (flavor kind of one-note), but they were sweet and soft. The fried potatoes and fried chicken were both just okay. The fried potatoes weren't super hot or crispy, but the added flavor from the onions was nice. The fried chicken's breading was crispy and flavorful enough, but the meat, even on the thigh, was a bit dry. Neither were bad, but if I return in the future, I'd probably try something else first. We were too full for dessert, but they had pecan pie and banana pudding on display. Overall, lovely service and tasty food make this a solid option in the area.

    I had lunch here today with friends. I had never heard of this cafe before my friend told me about…read moreit! It is a well kept secret in Decatur! The French Door is a hair salon/ spa and the Cafe D Azure is located adjacent to the lobby. The menu includes a small breakfast menu including bagels, muffins, scones and a breakfast sandwich. There are drinks galore to choose from, frozen drinks such as fruit smoothies, speciality coffees and all the regular offerings. For lunch you can choose from a large selection of sandwiches as well as the daily special. Today's special was Poulet de Normandy and a side item. My friends and I went with poulet and the grape salad as a side. All I can say is YUM. The portions were generous as well. One friend chose the Summer Tea, a minty sweet tea, my other friend choose peach tea and I had good old Southern Sweet Tea. All were delicious! I also had a regular coffee to sip on as we visited after lunch. The cafe is small but tables are well spaced and we were encouraged to sit and chat as long as we wanted to do so! The cafe ladies even made sure our glasses of tea were topped up as we left so we could take them to go. There is a patio room that is available for groups of up to 16. You should call in advance to reserve the space for your group. I think this is a wonderful idea for a spa know that I was impressed by the friendliness of the French Door Staff as they greeted us and pointed us to the Cafe. The ladies who work the cafe were very sweet as well! I am sure that this cafe will not be a secret for long! There are lots of Ladies who Lunch here in Decatur and this is a great place to eat and chat!
