What User doesn't like about Shirley Mae's Cafe:
I'm here visiting the Louisville area and was recommended by a local. We traveled to the hood and I was sure that the food was going to be LIT! I ordered the Chitterlings with Yams and Mac Cheese. The Chitterlings had No Seasoning, Mac and cheese tasted like it was out the box and the Yams was so so. I was disappointed with this experience especially being recommended by a Louisville local.

While traveling through Louisville to Atlanta decided to stop and try the local cuisine. Used Google and found excellent reviews about Shirley Mae?s. We did not deceive!!! OMG! The food was great! The sweet tea is the stuff legends are made. 5 stars light. The guy on the counter was the best! Thank you. Shirley Mae!!!! View all feedback.

The best home cooked southern soul food you can find. The family owned business has southern hospitality down to a science
