Review by Edythe

Madre & Son Soulfood Cafe serves up some truly comforting meals. I tried the honey garlic chicken wings, and they were perfectly crispy with just the right amount of sweetness. The collard greens were a standout; I couldn’t get enough of their seasoned flavor! The cozy atmosphere made it feel like home, but do take note - the dining experience could use a touch-up, especially with the utensils. Overall, a fantastic spot for soul food lovers that I’d happily revisit! 🍽️
