This Saturday was my first time at the restaurant. The food was delicious, the service was great and the customer service was superb! I highly recommend the smothered catfish! I'm spreading the word! As the kids say, the food was "Slap Yo Momma" good!

I came to Lady Louisa's one day after receiving a recommendation from a couple friends. First, the place was lovely! I walked in and ambiance, music, and friendly faces that were assisting me was like a breath of fresh air! Now..on to the food. The menu was so vast that I just could not decide what I wanted, besides everything! I finally made my decision on the Meatloaf Dinner, which was IMMACULATE. Accompanying my meatloaf I ordered the mac and cheese and collard greens...Oh My Goodness! My husband ordered the smothered turkey chops(I had never heard of these, but when I tasted my husband's I made him get a couple extra!) He decided on the yams and the fried corn. Both meals came with a homemade cornbread that had JIFFY Beat down! I hadn't tasted food so good in a long time! This tasted like some of the food my mother and grandmother used to cook on sunday dinner throughout my childhood. I have to say, the cooks and family that owns that place have really outdone themselves! Great food, Excellent and Friendly Customer Service, and a CLEAN and REPUTABLE establishment, you can't beat it with a stick! Definitely highly recommended! Matter of fact, let me go so I can get there now!

I travel across town for Vicki's.. They have had some of the best barbecue in Detroit for years. The staff is courteous and they don't mind fulfilling special request.

I drove from Pontiac to this place. The staff is awesome and food is SUPERB, especially the collard greens, cabbage, cat fish and dressing. Very friendly people and food for the soul. Banana pudding and peach cobbler is to die for. We will certainly be visiting them again in the near future, to try other items when I don't feel like cooking ;-) YOU MUST TRY THIS.

The barbecued short ribs were cooked to perfection, falling off of the bone, possibly the best my palate has ever enjoyed. The macaroni was full of cheese and with considerable quality. The collard greens are excellent.

We will return soon. The peach cobbler was good.
The yams and collard greens were all cooked tremendously well and tasted excellent.
