About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Innovative
Outstanding value

Food for the Soul - This establishment plans to target and capture a neglected audience with their savory plates of southern fried chicken, grilled catfish, macaroni and cheese, sweet potato pie and much more. Zora’s Cafe plans to put a healthier spin on the traditional foods by using antibiotic and steroid free meats, cage-free eggs and organic vegetables. They also plan to offer vegetarian and gluten free dishes. This highly anticipated cafe is the brainchild of a mother and daughter pair.

I never had fried green tomatoes until now and they were delicious! The fried chicken was cooked perfectly. The service was great and we didn't have to wait long. I will definitely be back.

I had dinner there the other night with a couple of friends. The place was pretty quiet when we first sat down. The doors and windows were open to the sidewalk and it was a bit warm inside. Our waitress was very friendly and she was the only other staffer besides the female cook in the kitchen. It took a while to get the food because everything is freshly made, down to the corn bread, which didn't look like traditional bread but was really good. The fried green tomatoes were well prepared with a thin coating of batter. I had the fried catfish, which was a big piece of flavourful fish. The red beans were excellent although the mac n'cheese was a little bland. My friend ordered the fried chicken and said that was good. We'll have to come back for cobbler.
