Fried pork chop sandwich with home fries
Leah H.

I went to celebrate my friend's birthday at their new Sunday brunch. It's not their usual cafeteria style. They have a limited menu of sandwiches, breakfast plates and a few soul food style meals. I ordered the fried pork chop sandwich and home fries. It came on a pretzel bun with lettuce, tomato and a lemon thyme mayo. The pork chop itself was well seasoned. My server forgot the mayo, though which made the sandwich dry. I also asked for the fries to be crispy, and they were not. It was only the second day for brunch, so I understood. They had a vegan fried green tomato sandwich, so they accommodated me by letting me order just the tomatoes as a side. I didn't taste any salt and it was twice the price of other sides, so I wouldn't get that again. They also have bottomless mimosas. The mango flavor was delicious! The waitstaff was very nice! They sang for my friend and chatted us up. Our server was struggling a bit to keep our orders straight. Overall, give them a chance. Once they work the kinks out (and add a salad PLEASE), it will be great!

Nice bathrooms that smell and look super clean

If you like good southern food, you should check out Earley's. It's in an unassuming old building. The inside used to be very hole in the wall, but they've remodeled and it's much nicer now. I love their breakfast--all the things you'd expect: grits, eggs, bacon, sausage, etc. Lunch is kinda hit or miss in my opinion but can be great if you come when the food is hot and fresh. Service is cafeteria style: you tell them what you want as you walk down the line. For the price, Earley's is hard to beat.

Was in the mood for some southern, "home-cooked" food (comfort food) and this place can to mind. We were not disappointed. I ordered chicken and dumplings, black eyed peas, cabbage; my daughter had smothered hamburger steak, mac & cheese, mashed potatoes; my husband had fried chicken, cabbage, and squash. The staff was very nice/pleasant, and the food was great! We will definitely plan to visit again!!!

Clean, modern and classy decor with southern hospitality to match. Everyone was extremely professional, but 'Blessed' served me two days in a row and stood out with exceptional service. Closest you're going to get to grandmas cooking. No filler. No preservatives. Just great southern food at a fair price. My son is a freshman at FAMU, so this restaurant will be a staple for the next 4yrs!

Really loved the upscale remake! We have been coming here for years to the cafeteria style lunch. Had no idea that a brunch was the new feature for the weekend and a full service dinner menu in the evening! We enjoyed brunch so much we came back for dinner the same day! The menu items include both traditional and creative thoughtfully prepared offerings that are delicious and attracted plated. The decor is classy and modern with the addition of a very nice bar and sport spectator area. For brunch I had the half fried chicken which includes 4 pieces separately fried. I had collard greens which were fresh but just okay flavor wise, but I really enjoyed the roasted carrots! My aunt had a pork chop sandwich which came with delicious home fries! My uncle had fried fish and grits with scrambled eggs and biscuit. The seasoning and crust on the fried items was perfect! When we returned for dinner, we enjoyed the unique appetizer....boiled peanut and neckbone boil. I enjoyed the vegan black eyed pea soup. It was classic comfort food, I had the chef add in some collards and it was delicious! Also enjoyed the BBQ shrimp even though I was expecting it to be a little more wet. I did not get to taste the gumbo or the smothered fried shrimp and grits but I saw some clean plates-lol. The staff is super friendly and attentive and it's very clean. Looking forward to our next visit!

Eh. After reading so many rave reviews I was expecting something special. I don't know if it's bc it was mid-morning Monday but it was dead in there. The multiple staff on the floor completely ignored us until we asked them how the place worked. Made it clear it was our first time in & we didn't know the system. It's a buffet style, put it in a box for you breakfast, pre-cooked. I didn't see this anywhere in the website & was expecting a sit-down restaurant w wait staff. Wet, runny powdered eggs are the only egg option so it wasn't a good start. The huge sausage was delicious & is the sole reason for both stars, the potatoes & biscuit were just ok. The woman who plated the food was the only person who semi-acknowledged our presence. When I ordered coffee at the register the person by the coffee have a big dramatic sigh like I had asked for a table for 14. They made it very clear that we were not welcome & everyone working there wished we would not have come in. It was not a good experience.

Monday Special
MaryAnne T.

Monday Special.... yes please!!! Several choices of meat, lots of side choices & your choice of hoe cakes, corn bread or corn biscuits. The beef in the stew was so tender & hands down, perfect fried chicken! No room for desserts of the day (key lime cake, red velvet cake & they put out a banana nut zucchini bread as we were leaving) but they looked tasty!! This was our 1st visit but my husband was already planning another visit for more beef stew! I'll get the oxtails next time! As an aside, it's got a great ambiance inside, the staff is pleasant, and the sweet tea is sweet. Definitely a place to try if you haven't!!

Cheese grits, bacon and home fries.
Jarrid S.

The food reminded me of home, and that's saying a lot. Food service was equal parts quality and quantity. This was definitely worth more than the cost and I would come back again.

Hot chicken, mac n cheese, fried okra, mashed potatoes, corn bread, peach cobbler
Katherine W.

Yesterday was my first time visiting Earley's and I can't believe I haven't found this place earlier. Food was absolutely amazing, the service was quick and everything was cheap. The environment in the restaurant is modern and super clean. The staff was extremely nice and wore their masks the entire time. They had all the condiments and extras you need organized for you. The value for the amount of food you get is CRAZY! I loved everything I got, especially the peach cobbler.

Oxtails, macaroni and cheese, greens, and cornbread

My dining companion and I recently visited Olean's Café. This restaurant location has been here…read morefor what seems like forever. Adams Street is a quiet street on this particular Saturday morning around 9:15 am. But inside the restaurant, there is a flurry of activity behind the counter, the aroma of breakfast makes us smile when we enter and there is a line that stretches to the door. Folks are waiting. Few dine in and most are carrying out several to go boxes per person. The prices are reasonable and for the portion size, I would say budget-minded. Get the Olean's omelette. It's generously sized and enough for 3 meals. It looks nothing like a traditional omelette. It reads more like a breakfast casserole. Eggs, potatoes, sausage, veggies and cheese. It's comfort food on a plate. I am so sorry I didn't take a photo to share. I highly recommend this meal option! My dining companion ordered scrambled eggs, bacon and plain grits. My dining companion stated they were the best restaurant grits they'd ever eaten. The bacon was piled high on his plate! He took 1/2 this meal home. Mrs. Olean is behind the counter and just as personable as can be. She sets the tone for hospitality and it shows with her courteous staff. There was ample parking. The dining room is small, probably 10 tables in all. Most seem to be taking bags with their to go containers. Few people leave with one container. We will certainly return for some of their lunch options next.

This is where me and my coworker go to treat each other because of how great it is. Can't go wrong…read morewith anything they serve. Personally I love the oxtails and turkey. The girls at the front are so sweet and fun and let us know what to get every time. I'm still trying to come for their Tuesday hot chicken.

This is a long time local place that has the best chicken sandwich. It isn't fast food because…read moreeverything is cooked when you place your order. Today was for takeout. Chicken sandwich with fried okra, two piece white with Mack and cheese and baked beans. I also ordered 5 biscuits for good measure. Stars for the chicken. It was done perfectly. The biscuits were good and the gravy on the instant mashed potatoes was very good. The Mac and cheese - no. Baked beans - from a can and not doctored up like the ones that I make. However, the fried okra I'd have again. This is an order at the counter - been there forever type of place so it looks a little old but it was very clean when I was there. Even the restroom. I would hate to see this local place go away so patronize it!

Lindy's fried chicken doesn't disappoint when it comes to taste. The chicken is crispy, juicy, and…read morepacked with flavor--a real classic that hits the spot. However, the moment you walk in, you're greeted by the sound of your shoes sticking to the floor with a wet, suction-like squeak that makes you wonder... am about to get stuck in place? The real problem, though, is the roof insulation that's hanging down, ready to drip at any moment. It's enough to make you concerned about a gob landing in your food, which might give you more than just a mouthful of flavor--maybe even a throat tickle.
