Bonnie Jean's Soul Food Cafe has the BEST FRIED CHICKEN I HAVE EVER HAD!

Bonnie Jean's Soul Food Cafe has the BEST FRIED CHICKEN I HAVE EVER HAD!  And, those addicting green beans with the equally delicious Garlic Aoli.... Ewwwww Weeeeeee it was good!  I wanted to order the Mac-N-Cheese Balls but knew I'd never have enough room in my belly for the fried chicken too so I passed and now have an excuse to return!

The service at this restaurant was very friendly and hospitable. I almost felt as if we were sitting in a restaurant in the deep south.  I highly recommend getting yourself down to this cute soul restaurant and order up some of the best fried chicken you'll ever come across!

Re: Bonnie Jean's Soul Food Cafe

We haven't had real soul-food like this since we left the south.  This was the perfect kid friendly place to eat for a family like us.  Nothing fancy at all.  We ate there on a Sunday and the place was packed.  Everyone was all dressed up in their Sunday best obviously coming from church.  If you don't want to wait, I suggest getting there early.

I suggest the deep fried mac n cheese or the catfish, or the fried chicken.  It's hard to choose.  Oooooooweeeee was it ever GOOD!
