Scott King and Anthony Bellon are two Southern expats who wanted to bring a taste of the region to their new home in Michigan. Finding truly authentic Southern food isn’t totally impossible in the Midwest, but it’s still exceedingly rare, which is definitely part of why Viola Cafe was an instant hit. From fried green tomatoes to crawfish etouffee, fluffy biscuits and beignets, and unmissable pimento cheese, this delightfully kitschy spot overdelivers on flavor.

Though all the dishes are inspired by recipes from the couple’s family matriarchs, the cafe itself was named Viola in its last iteration, and the new owners chose to keep the name. Louisiana-born Bellon runs front of house at the restaurant with plenty of southern charm, and back of house duties get lots of input from Alabama native King, led by chef Shelley Young, who owned The Chopping Block cooking schools in Chicago. Open five days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the restaurant frequently throws special events and southern-themed meetups, so keep an eye out for additional programming when you’re in town.
