Lillie Bells
Lillie Bells is a hidden gem located at 14635 Telegraph Rd, Redford, MI 48239, offering an authentic soul food experience that will satisfy your cravings. While the restaurant's location might not have the most luxurious ambiance-being tucked in the back of a liquor store-the food more than makes up for it.
One of the standout features of Lillie Bells is the seasoning. The dishes are crafted with care, ensuring each bite is packed with flavor, and notably, the seasoning is perfectly balanced, unlike many soul food spots that tend to over-salt. If you're craving hearty comfort food, the smothered pork chops are a must-try. They come with a rich, savory flavor that complements the soul food classics like collard greens, baked beans, mac 'n' cheese, and candied yams. These dishes are so good, they'll make you forget it's not Sunday and just enjoy the meal for what it is.
Lillie Bells is known for its excellent portions that are sure to fill you up, and many customers appreciate the home-style cooking that reminds them of family meals. The fried pork chop and yam combo is a fan favorite, though be mindful of special pricing, especially on Sundays, as certain items may not be available at their advertised special rates. While there may be some pricing concerns, the quality of the food justifies the cost, making it a treat for those who appreciate flavorful, satisfying meals.
Whether you're looking for a great takeout experience or planning to dine in, Lillie Bells delivers. Although you might not find extravagant décor or a bustling atmosphere, what you'll experience is a true taste of soul food, where the food itself speaks volumes.
Lillie Bells Reviews
What can I say, I enjoyed everything. Smothered pork chops....wow. Collard greens, mac n cheez, baked beans, candied yams all made me forget it was the middle of the week and not Soul Food Sunday! I can't speak to another persons experience. I'm just telling you about my experience. Ordered carry out/delivery. i can't speak to the location or staff. Im satisfied with the results. I admit it is a little pricey but it was worth it for this meal this time. Gotta save some more money so I can go back.
The food was seasoned to perfection. Most soul food places the food is salty, not this. Try it, I'll bet you won't be disappointed.
No matter what you order from here you will not be disappointed!!! Doesn't matter the cost I'm willing to pay! Even in the midst of inflation! Lol Food is excellent Service is excellent
I entered the store from the rear parking door. There is a small area in the back of the store. This is Lillie Bell's area. The staff were pleasant and greeted me quickly. My online order was there waiting; piping hot. I order the fried chicken wing dinner with macaroni and cheese and greens. I added a side of small potato salad and sweet potato to make the meal enough for two people. Surprising, the potato salad was good the macaroni and cheese was very good; not overly seasoned. The fried chicken (per my bff) was "off the chain" lol. The collard greens were a bit bitter for my taste. The sweet potatoes had a weird taste to them, almost as if they used a chemical sweetener of some sort. I couldn't tolerate the taste. My bff thought the same but said "they're cooked good." She added more cinnamon to hide the taste. The polite and prompt customer service and the amazing taste of the macaroni and cheese were enough to carry this review to four stars. The bitter greens and the weird taste of the sweet potatoes should be an easy fix. Im sure its a simple quality control issue. I would definitely order from this carry out restaurant again without hesitation. I recommend everyone to try their macaroni and cheese. They use real cheese and it's definitely made with love.
I ordered 1 fried pork chop, yam and dressing!I thought would be $10 special + extra side. Cashier rang $21+! I looked at her inquisitively and she said "No $10 special on Sunday! What if I didn't want to pay $21. I can't eat 2 pork chops! What if I don't have $21? I hope she is not the owner 'cause she will run people away. She has as much people personality as an ice princess! The only money we owe her is for the food we buy, as a matter of fact, customers don't even know her name. Good thing the food is good and speaks for itself! Besides the fact, it is located in the back of the liquor store so there isn't any ambiance. The food look so good and I was so irritated when I got home I did not take a picture! Maybe a little gravy on the dressing and some cranberry sauce!
