Minnie Bell's Soul Movement

This was some REALLY GOOD FOOD!! The chicken was HOT! The yams were seasoned to the T!! The two cinnamon sticks were definitely a bonus!!! The Mac and cheese…just yummm! We had to wait a little while for our food, however it was WELL worth the wait! Had to show love from Texas!!

First time at the public market and I'm glad I checked Yelp before I made my selection. The fried chicken, Mac and cheese, and sweet tea is the stuff of dreams here! Fried chicken is fried perfectly with rosemary... My only complaint is I should of ordered more for later! The macaroni and cheese had so many delicious flavors... a little spice a little nice... creamy cheesy goodness. The pickled veggies were perfect. . Try with a bloody Mary from the bar... because it's the weekend and self care and reasons!

Customer service was great, she was very friendly and helpful! I got a 2 piece chicken and they through in a few extra pieces! Chicken was crispy and moist, love their unique flavor! I got a side of Mac and cheese which was also very good, I can skip the collard greens next time, wasn't my preference in flavor but they weren't bad either. Cornbread on point too! All together Food was definitely satisfying!

The Rosemary Fried chicken was juicy, flavorful and delectable. A sure sign of a good fried chicken recipe is that you don’t have to do any seasoning, the spices, herb and salt all work together like a symphony. I had a 2 piece combo, which includes a small side and a piece of cornbread. It was delicious. I had the vegan collard greens as a side. I am going to try the red beans and rice and mac and cheese when I go back.

$70 for a 8 piece chicken, 2 sides and cornbread with spicy honey! You say ridiculous? I say ridiculously good!!! The game winner is the macncheese. Nice creamy with a touch of salty. Mommy good . The rosemary chicken was good not overpowering but a pungent taste of excellence balanced by those sweet and savory yams. The greens were fire. Now, the desert was a banana pudding creme brulee with a decadent crust at the bottom. Good? Hell no! Great? Pass on to excellence! Now my only hitch was the sweet tea. Being from Texas we prefer our cup of diabetes with a side of tes served with ice. Overall I ask #KeithLee to come bless this place in the Filmore section of San Francisco. Madam, you are an artist and you are just warming up! Please let me know when you release your masterpiece a southern spin on oxtails. Until then you all go get you some Texas raised excellent soul food. Shout out to the Third Coast! PORT ARTHUR, TX

Chicken - moist, flavorful, fully cooked but not greasy at all. Detected an herb or spice I was not familiar with. Will have my hubby come next time to help me figure that out. Sides - cornbread just OK - would have been better if it had honey butter on it. But I didn't see any honey or butter on the counter and none was offered. Mac n cheese was delish - creamy, gooey and the macaroni was cooked just right. Red Cool Aid - Fun to try on first visit - definitely a nostalgia moment for me. Tasty? Yes. Worth $3? No. Service - efficient but not friendly, and no offers for sides like butter or honey. Overall - what we southerners call a proper Sunday dinner. Definitely going back. But I'll stay away from coming toward closing hours, as I've hard they often close up earlier than their posted hours.

Just got finished with eating here and it was so delicious. I had the two piece, Mac and Cheese and the sweet tea. The chicken was tender and flavorful. The cornbread had a wonderfully distinct taste and the Mac and cheese was some of the best I have ever had. If you are in the area, do yourself a favor and come try it. You won’t regret it!

Oooo weeee Yes! Just when I was about to give up, I found the soul food I’ve been searching for okayyyy Rosemary fried chicken is the bomb dot com: crispy, juicy & flavorful. The Mac n cheese and greens were Ahhhmazing! Oh and I don’t like my cornbread sweet but theirs was pretty good. Y’all should definitely check out Minnie Bell’s it’s located inside the public market in Emeryville.
