Just Say PLS Cafe: Reviews & Ratings

If and when you're in the area you must stop in at Just Say PLS Cafe. I can guarantee that you will not be disappointed. The owner/cook knows her way around a kitchen. You will be able to tell just from the way the food is prepared, seasoned and the taste. I was blown away when I heard turkey was used in the collard greens and cabbage. The turkey wings were dynamite, the turkey fell off the bone. The collard greens were well seasoned but not too much. The yams were sweet and smooth. The cabbage was good even the baby carrots inside of the cabbage was different and delightful. I didn't eat any macaroni and cheese due to my friend not sharing because it was too good to share lol. I will definitely be returning to grab a plate. Mrs. Trish I'm putting a Grade A stamp on your restaurant & customer service. Potential customers make sure to view the daily menu as well as the everyday menu.

Today after church, I came to this restaurant to purchase a meal for my dad for father's day and he was pleasantly surprised at how much food he had received. The food was outstanding and I enjoyed just sitting in the restaurant and talking with the owner and staff and even being a taste tester lol (put that fish sandwich on the menu ASAP) I most certainly will be back and so will my dad (he's ready for Wednesday already)

I'm not sure what I was expecting, but this place is a hidden gem! I never would've guessed that this eatery was tucked away in this little strip mall, but it is. The food was on point! My mom had the steak baked potato... All I can say is that this is a must try! I have the wings with the mac and cheese and collards. The mac and cheese was , however the collards could've used a bit more seasoning. Overall they weren't bad sides at all. The chicken came straight out the grease and put right in front of me... What I'm saying is the chicken was hot and delicious! This place has definitely won me over, and I'll be heading back again soon. If you're looking for a good spot to eat that won't break the bank, trust me, you'll enjoy this spot.

The food is very seasoned, which is a good thing. They make their own juices and they have some sodas around. Its definitely enough food to have for later. The mac&cheese and dirty rice is amazing. I had the turkey wing dinner and the turkey fell off the bone and is very juicy. The turkey is over some rice. I am learning to eat with less salt for health reasons but this is very seasoned and very good. Thank you for the service and definitely gonna come back again to try the different juices and food. I added the menu, the food portion, the juice and how much I paid for it all. Dont forget to tip the service cuz they put in the work to make great food.

I pass this place every day and never noticed it there. I came across it while searching for something & this place was the best thing I’ve ever came across. Reviews were good so I tried it out. Just know I’m locked in. I’m sending everyone I know. Fish & shrimp fried & seasoned to perfection.
