“First time here and I’ll be coming back. Food was absolutely delicious! GOAT smash burger and Chimichurri chicken amazing.”

“Fantastic local restaurant! Service is always good and every menu item is superb. I love their smash burgers but recently enjoyed the chicken chimichurri sandwich and red snapper, which were both great. Now I gotta go back to try the ribs after seeing someone else order them!”

The menu reflects the owners’ family with a mix of American classics and traditional African dishes. The service was prompt, friendly and welcoming. We had everything we needed at all times. Atmosphere was clean and comfortable. Well designed and decorated, with sparkling clean restrooms. We had an amazing experience and will definitely be back!”

“My family went to Chez Adele looking for their famous smashburger and were surprised by a West African Menu Special for Juneteenth. The owner Bart happily took our order 15 minutes before they closed and chatted with my family through the meal. We stayed well passed closing time, and he said we could stay as late as we liked. The food was incredible and tasted so authentic and homemade, especially the rum cake we had for desert. This is precisely the type of small business we should all be supporting, and I will be back soon!”
