I stopped by the Lillie Bell's booth at Arts Beats and Eats and it was my favorite restaurant I tried! The catfish was crispy and not too greasy. The tartar sauce was delicious with it. The garlic Parmesan fries were amazing. The crispy fries were fully coated in the sauce and weren't soggy. read more

I went by after church about 3. Not busy at all. I ordered catfish (which took about 15 minutes), yams and mac-n-cheese. The portion size was very generous. I got 4 prices of fish. No bread included. Didn't like that. The fish was salty and the mac-n-cheese was saltyand not very cheesy. Yams had very thin syrup. read more

Lillie Bell's have moved from Southfield to 14365 Telegraph Rd in Redford. They celebrated their Grand Opening May 4th. This is a black owned, long standing business. They are now located in the Heritage Plaza next door to Skylar Laundromat. The new location is very spacious for both the staff and customers. They now have a dine-in option with two pub tables and four combo seating of table chairs and window sill cushions. The food is still cooked and served with love! I had the Gotta Have Soul - 4 Fried Catfish Strips with Mac & Cheese and Green Beans with Potatoes. I love that over the area where food comes from the kitchen reads: "Lord, we pray that you bless this food and everyone who partakes of it. We pray that you bless them in the way which will benefit them the most." I receive that blessing! I ordered my meal takeout! It was so tasty! I was able to divide my meal for lunch for two days! They have three lines inside: 1) Order Here, 2) Pickup Here and for those short on time, 3) Whatcha Got Ready Right Now? They participate with DoorDash for delivery options. They also offer catering services. Note: They are still closed on Mondays and open on Sundays at 1pm now! read more

This is my third time trying Lillie Bells and second at the new location. The one thing that has been consistent is the pleasant staff. The young lady working greeted me when I came in the door, offered a menu and suggestions. Kept cash on me and tipped in the tip jar today. Now to the food. I'm disappointed. I wanted to think I had one of visits due to grand opening. The rib tips were not tender. Better than they were when I tried in Southfield, but not enough that I could eat it without chewing at least 10-20 times. I wouldn't recommend. The catfish was fried decently, but lacked flavor of any kind besides the breading. Like you'd have to eat it with the sides in one bite to enjoy. Greens with smoked turkey were the star of the meal. The macaroni was mid at best and greasy. Not seasoned much. I ordered the A Lil Sumthin lunches to try different food. It was a waste of $20. I have more than 1/2 of the food not eaten and likely won't. It's a good option if you find something you like and short on funds during the lunch time. However, I have no interest in a 4th try. My order was also wrong. It was a slow lunch today so I don't know how yams and macaroni can be confused. Luckily I checked the bag. Small space to sit and eat inside, but most do carry out. I hope they figure it out because the business has potential because there is not a real soul food spot in the area. read more

Giving three stars for the service. However, I went yesterday for the first time while I was washing my clothes at Skylar and ordered the rib tips dinner with greens and mac and cheese. Within about four hours, I was in the bathroom sick. I'm not sure if the ribs weren't cooked properly or if the greens were bad, but something definitely seemed off about the food. I'm leaning more toward the ribs. Unfortunately, that was a whole $24 down the drain. For my first time eating there, I was definitely disappointed. read more

I wanted some soul food and came across this place on Yelp. It had really good reviews so we decided to give it a try. Idk if it's just me but something about the portion size and the price just didn't sit right with me. I ordered a dinner that came with two meat options and two sides. I chose the rib tips and pork chop. We got about 5 pieces of ribs and one pork chop. The sides are your average size. We also ordered one build your own bowl. Grand total was $62. I just didn't feel like it was worth it. The food was good but... it didn't wow me. My daughter absolutely loved the strawberry banana pudding. If the portion sizes were bigger, I think I would be sold on trying them again. The service was good. The inside of the establishment is clean. read more

Excellent food and customer service today was my husband and I first time trying this place. Usually we go to Mookies, but we wanted to try another soul food restaurant. We were both impressed!! The atmosphere was chill and customers weren't rude to each other. Will be going again read more

My daughter and I came to LILLIE Bell's on Saturday. We called to find out what you all had left on the menu. When I asked a question I was hung up on. I called back and the person was so nasty and rude that we decided not to order. I decided if someone's gonna be that nasty and rude. I didn't want them serving my food. read more

The food is amazing. The price is great. It's better than motor city. I have great lamb chops and smothered pork chops are awesome.

I had a chance to taste this today, and the food was unbelievable. The smoked turkey greens were full of smokey turkey just the way I like it. Do yourself and your family a favor and treat them to this Awesome Diamond. read more

finally got to try this spot and I was super excited but the food was very underwhelming. The lamb chops were good, they're the normal Detroit flavor with zip sauce. No worries there. It was the sides that threw me off. The lack of seasoning was surprising in both the mac and spaghetti. Probably wouldn't come back because I would want the same sides. read more

I ordered the vegetable plate for carry-out on a Sunday afternoon. Mac and cheese, yams, collard greens, and dressing. I do not eat meat. My issues are; The yams had a lot of strings in them. The greens had a lot of turkey in them and the dressing was not fully cooked and was sweet. I ordered the vegetable plate because I don't eat meat. Is it possible to make a separate pot of greens for the people who don't eat meat? I understand sometimes businesses get busy, but I would rather wait for a fully cooked side of dressing than consume it undercooked and rushed. Otherwise, the food was seasoned well. I would really love to make this a regular stop for me. Hopefully, this was just a one-time fluke and some consideration will be given to these items. I will try again at least once more. read more

I had wings and Mac & cheese, food was great I definitely will come back. Food came in time, had everything right. read more

What can I say, I enjoyed everything. Smothered pork chops....wow. Collard greens, mac n cheez, baked beans, candied yams all made me forget it was the middle of the week and not Soul Food Sunday! I can't speak to another persons experience. I'm just telling you about my experience. Ordered carry out/delivery. i can't speak to the location or staff. Im satisfied with the results. I admit it is a little pricey but it was worth it for this meal this time. Gotta save some more money so I can go back. read more

I went to the one on 10 mile and Southfield in the back of the party store a few times the food was great. The customer service was great.

Employees were pleasant. The food. Smh Ribs. My plate was full of barbecue sauce because the meat needed a soaking I guess My grand baby lives Mac and cheese 5 years old. She had one fork full not eat it. I tasted it. Not good. Chicken wings dried out we went there on a Friday at 3pm. Smh. Husband had Cat Fish he said it was pretty good. I was asked would I go again. The answer is no. Oh my Grandbaby loved the cornbread. I love sauced Ribs but these were ridiculous. My plate was drowned in sauce. read more

Wanting a comforting Seafood dish this Sunday. I chose this restaurant while perusing doordash for something yummy. I found it under the Black business tab. I ordered the New Orleans potato with Cajun shrimp. I was not disappointed. The potatoes are huge. Mine was cook superfection. The large shrimp were seasoned well, with just the right amount of Cajun spices. I also ordered the strawberry banana pudding. I was a decent treat. The fresh strawberries are a great addition. The price point is not for the faint. The potato alone is $19. The Rachael Ray in me could eat carryout/delivery twice at that price point. I didn't mind spending a bit more than I think it's truly worth because this meal was a Valentine's Day treat for myself. read more

I entered the store from the rear parking door. There is a small area in the back of the store. This is Lillie Bell's area. The staff were pleasant and greeted me quickly. My online order was there waiting; piping hot. I order the fried chicken wing dinner with macaroni and cheese and greens. I added a side of small potato salad and sweet potato to make the meal enough for two people. Surprising, the potato salad was good the macaroni and cheese was very good; not overly seasoned. The fried chicken (per my bff) was "off the chain" lol. The collard greens were a bit bitter for my taste. The sweet potatoes had a weird taste to them, almost as if they used a chemical sweetener of some sort. I couldn't tolerate the taste. My bff thought the same but said "they're cooked good." She added more cinnamon to hide the taste. The polite and prompt customer service and the amazing taste of the macaroni and cheese were enough to carry this review to four stars. The bitter greens and the weird taste of the sweet potatoes should be an easy fix. Im sure its a simple quality control issue. I would definitely order from this carry out restaurant again without hesitation. I recommend everyone to try their macaroni and cheese. They use real cheese and it's definitely made with love. read more

I haven't had Catfish Fried this good my Mother's green beans and sweet potatoes were good, The main problem was the wait, called the order in, took 15 minutes to drive there and still had to wait 30 minutes to get our food was told 15 to 20 minutes, I will return but I suggest adding at least 15 minutes to the carryout time read more

First time having Lillie Bells at the Detroit Rib Fest. We were so glad to see lamb chops being served. That excitement went down the drain after opening the container on our way home. One of the chops was barely larger than a quarter and thick as two quarters stacked. Another one chewy, the other two okay but still small. I felt like a number rather than a customer. I was in shock to see this service. read more

The food was seasoned to perfection. Most soul food places the food is salty, not this. Try it, I'll bet you won't be disappointed.

The chicken and pork chop were under cooked. The fried wings were not crispy, lacked seasoning and was not floured. The service was terrible. Order before going because priority was given to pick up orders. This was my first and last visit. We used a debit card. I left a $5 tip just to be nice based on the poor service but the receipt showEd I was charged $15.26 when I checked the texted receipt. I do not mind tipping when the food and service are good as this was not the case. I should have listened to my son and gone to Lillie Mae's. read more

First impressions matter & my first impression: Located inside a party store ... lots of trash on the floor. Empty boxes, discarded wrappers, receipts, etc. I understand that people like their music, but the volume is loud enough that I cannot understand the mask wearing woman working the counter. But I am here for a burger. Ordered medium (pink), served well done. Great sear! The patty was a large and pre-made, probably 1/3rd pound. The bacon was tasty and crispy. The veggies were fresh and crisp. The cheese was fully melted, yay. Slow. Eighteen minutes for two burgers during a not busy period. Carry out only. Park in back as the front parking lot is overcrowded and only one way in:out The menu mentions loaded spuds; ranging in price from $12 to $18. WTH??? read more

Food is not good. Mac N Cheese had hardly any cheese in it, so you got no flavor. Definitely not two or three cheeses for the best mac n cheese. No taste. Dressing is a shade of green and the texture is pasty. Taste isn't the worse but it looks terrible and not nearly good enough for a Soul Restaurant less anyone's table. The 7up cake is lacking flavor. come on people and make a good 7up cake. It has no flavor and it's spongy. Sometimes you don't get a second chance. And the attitudes of employees are horrible. Two of us tried to eat and didn't like it at all. read more

Thanks to Yelp stumbled across this soulful place. Don't be alarmed it's inside the liquor store. Warmly welcomed on a Sunday by the cashier. I was in the mood for a burger so I decided on the beatbox burger medium well. Within 10 minutes had a decent burger (frozen patty, correct me if I'm wrong). Brioche bread was soft and fresh. And meat was tender. I'll try the Mac n cheese and greens next time. 10.60$ burger , 12.19$ including tip. Cc accepted. read more

I know better but I keep trying to give these "restaurants " a chance. The good reviews lead me to believe that the food was good. I believe those " Good" reviews are family members. I need people to stop labeling Sweet Potatoes," YAMS. there is a difference. The sweet potatoes taste like they came out of a can. The greens had no flavor The macaroni no flavor cheese and noodles Now when I read BBQ CHICKEN. I think just that. Not baked chicken poorly covered in bbq sauce. This whole meal $21 was a complete waste. read more

Tried to place an online order at 3:30 for a New Orleans baked potato, a side of yams, and a side of macaroni. We're a vegetarian family and unfortunately, there wasn't an option to take the swine off the potato. So, I had to call in a pickup instead of getting delivery... very inconvenient. I gave my order over the phone, specifying NO BACON. I was told 30 minutes and it would be ready. This was not my first time patronizing this establishment. The food is always good. But, the wait is always excessive. So, I gave them an extra 30 minutes before arriving, so I wouldn't have to wait. When, I got there I STILL HAD TO WAIT 30 MINUTES. Got the food, my daughter starts eating in the car... only to get home and realize the potato is covered in bacon! My child hasn't eaten pork in 3 years. Called Lillie Bells, complained, asked for a refund, and was told that they don't give refunds but I could come get another potato...I responded AND WAIT ANOTHER 30 MINUTES?? the lady on the phone assured me it wouldn't take that long. She was right, it took 20 minutes after almost 3 hours of dealing with bs, burning extra gas, and spending 35 bucks we arrived home with the food. Hopefully my kid doesn't get sick... the restaurant didn't seem to give af either way. WTF. read more

First of all, this restaurant is nestled inside the liquor store with its own section, so just be mindful if you are looking for it from the street.

On a Sunday afternoon I had to find something to share after inviting myself to lunch over a friend's. was looking for something new and saw the reviews here & decided to give the unusual menu a try(baked potatoes, burgers, lamb chops, No ribs really?). I wasn't disappointed. I went in right after opening. (oh definitely park in back as others have said). I had the All You Got Loaded Spuds and it was huge enough to share with leftovers. They had shrimp and grits that day which were rich and creamy. Mac & cheese was good. I was surprised that a large side of greens was $7 with just a sliver of meat. All was clean, the service was quick and they put up with me asking a lot of questions pretty well.(so I tipped) I later realized that I had heard about the place but let the fact it was in the party store stop me. Not anymore after I've tasted the food. read more
