Proud to support this African-American woman owned business. Mrs. Gina served the most delicious plate of sides oh my oh my oh my. I just cannot deny that amazing plate sparkling in my eyes. A smell so pure and a taste so unique. I could not help but yelp shouts of pleasure while tears of joy rolled down my cheeks. This is REAL soul food cooking just like how my momma or grandmama would make for the whole family. Thank you for making my evening so lovely. It was so delicious, mac and cheese tangy, sweet, and salty with a perfect texture. Not watery, not stale and tough but perfectly tender and melts in the mouth. The green beans got powers like Powerade, I just left the gym and my electrolytes have been replenished. Not too salty and not sour but just right for good southern style green beans May Allah (God) most high most exalted bless you and reward you for these amazing dishes

Okay gotta leave a honest review. Today I stop by Lillie Bell’s, and this is my first time having them. When I first walked in I was greeted with a hello and a warm smile, not every place you go to does that. I order the lunch special for $10 and the food serving for that price is worth it, I got the 3pc Catfish dinner, Mac and Cheese, grape Kool-Aid, and I order a slice of 7 up cheese cake for an additional $5. Now let’s talk about how it tasted? The Catfish was phenomenal I didn’t need any hot sauce for it, the Mac and Cheese is amazing and reminds me of how my mother makes it, the Kool-Aid is top notch not to sweet wasn’t bitter it’s like they added the right amount of sugar, and the 7up cake… THAT CAKE IS FIRE! If you’re ever in the area telegraph between I-96 and Fenkell you have to stop by and try the food I promise you will not be disappointed. My new favorite place for a home cook meal.

One of the things that I deeply value about working in public libraries is the planning aspect.

By the time I started working at Mount Clemens Public Library the calendar for the Winter months was due. I didn’t have much time to really consider what programs I wanted to lead. The Interim Director was very clear though. There had to be a Black History program.

Last year, there had not been one. She was adamant that we not repeat that again. Black History programs began to be added to the calendar along with the one I would manage, Taste of Soul‼️‼️‼️

The thought behind the program was that it would allow patrons to taste soul food while being provided with the historical context behind each bite. I could have required people to register, but I wanted to leave it open. I decided to leave it as a drop-in program.

The food was catered by Lillie Bell’s of Redford and when I say that they came through. They came through. Chanae and her brother, Davon, delivered tasty dishes and hospitality that made this program a very big hit.

I am still processing the success of the event largely because I never saw it as a black program. My vision for the program was an opportunity for the community to come and partake in dishes that span decades. Dishes my great-great grandparents made that were later passed down to the matriarchs in my family.

I know the power of a home cooked meal—of soul food. I’ve seen how a meal can bring people together of all age groups for laughter and conversation creating a shared harmony over a good meal. Up until Friday, I mostly witnessed this with my family.

Friday, however, I witnessed this at the library. I witnessed young adults sitting amongst the elders, and I witnessed a community of diverse people from different backgrounds sit down and break bread. And it was so beautiful and so humbling.

Then if it couldn’t get any better than that, Chanae explained the history of Lillie Bell’s, its namesake, and the dishes that were passed down to her…

…and I am still processing it.

I’ve done many library programs, but this one—this one. Just hit different. We even had a Taste of Soul playlist which patrons thoroughly enjoyed.

Thanks again to Lillie Bell’s for coming through and to the Mount Clemens Public Library for making the event possible.

This was my first time trying this restaurant, and unfortunately I’m very disappointed. The “everything potato” was completely unseasoned and dry—no sauce, no sour cream, and the ground beef was in big chunks with no flavor. It tasted like plain meat on a plain potato. I ended up having to add a bunch of my own seasoning just to get a little flavor, and even then it still wasn’t good. I also ended up with acid reflux afterward, which is very abnormal for me. Spending almost $30 for that was frustrating, especially when money is tight and I passed up Olive Garden because I wanted to support a Black-owned business.

The strawberry banana pudding was mostly cookie, the strawberries still had stems on some pieces, and they weren’t sweet. The grape Kool-Aid tasted like flavored water, and I haven’t had Kool-Aid in over a decade—but I got it for the experience. Sadly, it wasn’t enjoyable at all. I still have half the food and barely touched the drink.

The ordering process was also uncomfortable. After placing my order online, I received a text saying I had to present my ID and the card used for purchase when picking up. If I had known that before paying, I would not have ordered. Some of us take our data privacy seriously. There was no explanation of why this was required, how my information would be used, or who has access to it. That alone made me uneasy.

Customer service didn’t help the experience. When I walked in, three employees were talking amongst themselves. No one greeted or acknowledged me until I overheard my name and said, “That’s me.” I was patient, but it felt unprofessional and dismissive.

I really wanted to enjoy this place and support the business, but my first experience was not good at all. Maybe I caught them on a bad day, but the food, service, and overall experience didn’t reflect the price or the “no refunds” policy. I left disappointed and won’t be returning.

Now, I aint gone lie.. this was my first order and I was hesistant. Order came, I received fried chicken instead of the baked chicken I requested and paid additional for which was disappointing. But otherwise than that, food was great! Fried chicken was perfect temp and well seasoned, mac and cheese.. (which is the reason I typically am hesistant to purchase soul food) was nicely seasoned and cheesy like homemade, greens was great!!! Thank you. Oh, and I seen those comments regarding the portions being small… me and my hubby split our meal, serving sizes is still a thang yall! We got a good portion each on our plate, dont be “big backs” all your life

OK…1st timers! the recommendation came from a local news channel segment. 2 party & one of us was very hungry.

This was around 3.50P & they ran out of cornbread (how??? in a soul food place) & no chicken quarters. There was only chicken wings available (they don’t serve separate parts of the chicken). So, one of us ordered & I we shared.

The order was chicken wings, mac & cheese & sweet potatoes.
The chicken wings were small (6 or so), but good. The meat fell off the bone and hot. The seasoning was just right (as I told the employee). The sweet potatoes were good, as I could taste the sweet potato . But, luke warm. The mac & cheese was hot, however, the other party stated some of it was clumpy and hard. As far as the side dishes, the cups are small.

For the price of one meal & running out of items, so early in the day, we’ll have to pass on future visits.

The macaroni and cheese taste like nothing but PURE season salt. The macaroni was seasoned more than the chicken. I called and inform them because hey high blood pressure in the black community is crazy, but they didn’t care SHE claim to have taste the Mac and she said she couldn’t taste the season. I won’t be going back!!

Use to go all the time. Called to place an order….. Apparently no more turkey chops except for the weekend and they don’t sell baked beans anymore. But they have smothered pork chops and fried pork chops daily. Makes no sense. Seems like they slowly going under after moving to this new spot. Those were my favorite items. Its likely I won’t return as a customer.

Was at the laundromat and aroma came across my nose it was Lillie bells. I came in and got the Fried chicken lunch with Mac. And I am very pleased Mac has a great cheese pull and the chicken is seasoned even the Kool aid has just the right amount of sugar. If your in the area YOU GOTTA STOP BY

Came at grand opening and it was really busy. Didn’t want to base off that day. Figured I would try again during regular hours today. Lunch options affordable, but the food was disappointing. Catfish lacked seasoning. Rib tips were chewy. Macaroni was greasy.

Don’t know how an order can be wrong when it was slow today. Yams and macaroni do not look the same. I luckily opened the container before I left out to notice the wrong side given. I hope the young person who took the yams that I opened actually tossed that out. I didn’t see her do it when I was standing there today and the macaroni was given to me.

Highlights: Cashier was amazing, pleasant, professional, and helpful! Greens are really good and have been consistent across my orders.
