In a world where culinary experiences often feel homogenized, Johnnie Mae’s Soul Cafe emerges as a heartfelt tribute to the rich tapestry of Southern cuisine. Opened on August 15, 2025, by Derrick Craig, this restaurant not only serves delicious dishes like country-fried steak and fried catfish but also embodies a personal story of love and remembrance. Derrick’s journey from real estate to restaurant ownership was inspired by the passing of his mother, Johnnie Mae, making every meal served a celebration of her legacy.
