Shirley Mae’s Cafe is a true gem in Smoketown! 🌟 Even though we had to order from the window, the vibe was welcoming, and the staff felt like family.

I indulged in the meatloaf, paired with their creamy mac and cheese and sweet potatoes - everything was stellar! My partner raved about the fried chicken wings; they were huge and absolutely scrumptious!

Yes, the wait was long (over an hour), but locals assured us it was unusual. The community atmosphere made the wait enjoyable, and we truly savored every bite. I can't wait to return for more authentic soul food! 😋
