Shirley's Place is one of those neighborhood spots that just feels like home. The atmosphere is calm, cozy, and welcoming, making it the perfect place to unwind after work, catch up with friends, or grab a casual meal.
The food is consistently good, but the real standout for me is the whiting. The Lil Shirley (their whiting fish sandwich) is my go-to every visit, and the Whiting Fish Platter comes with three perfectly seasoned, crispy pieces of fish that never disappoint. If you're lucky enough to stop by when they're serving crab specials, definitely take advantage of them.
The drinks are just as good as the food--and they're definitely not watered down. I highly recommend ordering a Lemon Drop or a round of White Tea Shots.
I also love supporting Black women-owned businesses, and Shirley's Place is one that's truly worth checking out. If you're looking for great food, strong drinks, and a relaxed neighborhood vibe, this spot is absolutely worth a visit. read more
