It's literally the best fried chicken Mac and cheese in emeryville imo.as a self proclaimed professional food eater, it's pretty good. I would bring friends hereFood: 5/5

Steaming hot and crunchy! Mac cheese ? way better than chic-fil-A ?Food: 4/5

Minnie Bell's was the best soul food we tried while in the Bay Area. The location was perfect given it was only a few minutes from Berkeley located inside the Public Market Eatery. Black-owned and woman-owned this restaurant is worth the line! We dined at Minnie's twice and it was so good each time. We ordered the 4 piece fried chicken with Mac n cheese and candied yams! We also ordered the spiked sweet tea. The food is perfect southern comfort food. The chicken is pretty well seasoned and they even give you some crystals hot sauce (rare in the Bay Area)! The mac n cheese is beyond creamy! Absolutely cheesy goodness! Then the candied yams were cooked well too! Our favorite thing was the brown sugar cornbread! Never had that kind of cornbread and now I can never imagine cornbread without it! The brown sugar just turns it up a notch!Highly recommend, just go a few hours before closing time if you want to try everything. Minnie's will run out towards the end of a Friday because they are just that good!

As a traveler in town for work, my first dining experience in Oakland was at this restaurant and it exceeded my expectations. The chicken was absolutely amazing - so flavorful that I didn't even need hot sauce, which is a must for me when eating chicken. I will definitely be returning to this restaurant regularly during my time here.

I visited this restaurant on a Sunday around noon and ordered a Chicken Sandwich, a small side of Mac n cheese, and some cornbread. The service was slow, as my order took around 20 minutes to arrive. Surprisingly, my friends who ordered a big 8 piece chicken meal after me received their food in just 10 minutes. The fried chicken sandwich was okay - the piece of chicken was large but lacked flavor and seasoning, making it a bit dry. Adding coleslaw to the sandwich may help improve it. The mac and cheese was decent, and the highlight of the meal was definitely the cornbread, which was the best I've ever had. I would return just for the cornbread. Overall, I plan to come back to try the normal fried chicken and will definitely return for the delicious cornbread.
