Cajun/Creole and Southern Style Cooking - Really Good but apparently they didn't have enough business and they are now closed.

This place has good food, is focused on Customer Service, and does not over charge you like some other places do. I go here a lot and am always full and happy when I leave.

I had heard a lot about this place and was looking forward to trying it, but I was disappointed in the food. The spices all tasted the same and the temp of the food was lukewarm. I don't think I'll try it...

This is really not southern food. I ordered the jambalaya and it was covered in paprika, way more than there should have been. It seems like they might need some lessons in what soul food is.

Not the best I have ever had. The food seemed almost cold and by the end of the day they didn't have much for selection, I was very disappointed. I had heard really good reviews but maybe it was just a bad day...

I've been to this cafe several times. The gumbo is very good. The last time that I went there, I had the oysters. They appeared to be frozen then defrosted. Very bad.

Fix Me A Plate Cafe tries to 'serve' southern style comfort food. The food is good, but sorry it's not really southern. I suggested to the manager to send his cooks to a few southern states to really learn...

I have been *down south*. In the south you got two types of home cooking and BBQ: country(white) and *hood*(black). This is *hood* style, which fits my bill just fine. No frills, just good food. Tad...
