Marie’s Soul Food

Chicken, mac ‘n cheese and collards have been missing in the Monroe Street neighborhood since Kipp’s closed. Now Marie’s has moved in to the former Maurie’s Chocolates space with fried or baked chicken, ribs and ham dinners, collard greens, yams, and macaroni and cheese. All you need? Pretty much, unless you are vegan. Primarily takeout. Open 5-9 pm Thursday and Friday and 4-9 pm Saturday and Sunday.
