My fiancé and I came for the first time tonight on a whim. Absolutely spectacular West African food! I’m usually a pretty picky eater, but I tried the chicken suya tonight with plantains and cucumbers…phenomenal! Customer service was also so sweet! The atmosphere was delightful! Good food, good music, and certainly good people working there! We can’t wait to come back! 🙂

We had a wonderful time going for the first time for a friend’s birthday. Our server Micky was so friendly and accommodating! The owner generously comped some drinks for us as first time customers. The plantains with the onion-forward dipping sauce were phenomenal. The Brussels sprouts had a lovely balsamic glaze topped with creamy goat cheese. Several of us ordered burgers with side salads, and the greens were of high quality. The standard vinaigrette offered was a wonderful blend of tangy and subtlety sweet. The smash burger patties were cooked well with crisp edges while maintaining a juicy interior. The garlic parm fries had a crisp exterior and fluffy texture. Everything was phenomenal, and Micky even helped us with the cake our friend made and brought. Do yourself a favor and come check this spot out!

Went for anniversary and staff was so sweet and kind!!! They were so fun and you can tell they care a lot about the food and customers. The food itself was so good- def recommend the burger!
Wanted fried plantains but we went during brunch so it wasn’t available- they were so kind and made it for us anyway :’). It was also delicious! Thank you so much to Bart and the rest of the team for a great start to our day (I will be thinking about that rum cake all year).

The food, service, and everything was incredible! I highly recommend Chez Adele. This was one of the best smash burgers I’ve ever had. We also had the chimmichuri chicken sandwich, which was PHENOMENAL!! The chicken was extremely flavorful and had a great crisp. I will be coming back!!

Went for dinner tonight, plantains were fantastic, and we both agreed our favorite smash burgers in the city! My partner got the house one, I got the GOAT, both top notch. Can’t wait to come back and try the deviled eggs as well!!

Went here for Happy Hour on the Thursday. A few of my friend’s were there ahead of me and ordered wings. I wanted to order wings, too, but for some reason they didn’t have anymore. So, I decided to order the plantains. I was expecting them to be flattened but they were cubes. Regardless, they were plentiful and good. I wanted something else so I asked for the Deviled eggs on the Happy Hour menu. Its two sliced eggs but the flavors were delicious! Its a must try. The super nice waitress was telling me about the West African spice used and that I need to try it on another dish they serve. Next time! For drinks I had their margarita, plain and one mango, which were decent. The vibe of the place was also cool: clean and modern. The 90s R&B and Hip Hop Music was bumpin. I plan on returning soon.

Lunch was bomb today! I highly recommend Chez Adele if you’re craving something flavorful and satisfying! I ordered the chimichurri burger with fries, and it was absolutely delicious. The burger was juicy, packed with flavor, and the chimichurri added the perfect kick. Fries were well-seasoned. On top of that, the service was fantastic, friendly and attentive. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to! And you should too! They also have a spacious patio!

10/10 – I definitely recommend.
Bart was extremely welcoming as soon as we walked in. The atmosphere and music were perfect after a long day of driving
We ordered the Brussel Sprouts and Plaintains for appetizers. They came out perfectly hot and absolutely delicious.
I also ordered the house sangria, which was perfectly balanced and refreshing.
I ordered the Mr. Blue burger with a side of fries. The burger was perfectly flavorful and juicy. The bleu cheese was even and balanced with the rest of the toppings, so it wasn’t overwhelming.
I can’t wait to visit again!

We had such a great experience at this restaurant! We ordered the smash burger, shrimp taco with pineapple sauce, plantains as an appetizer, and a strawberry milkshake, and everything was absolutely delicious. The smash burger was juicy and full of flavor, and the shrimp taco was light, refreshing, and perfectly complemented by the sweet pineapple sauce. The plantains were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and a perfect start to the meal. And the strawberry milkshake was creamy, rich, and just the right amount of sweet. On top of that, the service was excellent, friendly, attentive, and welcoming. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Delicious food and very accommodating to my toddler who I had along with me. The owner sweetly brought out an ice cream and asked my son if he could say “I love you mommy” in exchange. Also made an order of fries right away. Unfortunately he wasn’t having any of it but I appreciated the effort so much. I got my order to go, and it was delicious! Its super family oriented and reasonably priced, and would recommend it!
