Annie Lee's Southern Kitchen

On Thanksgiving, due to us being sick, we weren't able to do much 😅 Me and my friend, after a trip to pick up some cold medicine decided to eat at this restaurant we always pass on the way home. When we walk in we are kindly greeted and then asked if we would like a Thanksgiving meal. We said yes with an expectation to pay, but when we asked how much they said "FREE"! They were so kind and generous that we couldn't help, but be thankful during the most thankful day! The food was great and I am so excited to go back and actually buy something. To all who read this, please stop by here. Their workers are so friendly and because of the generosity it made me and my friends day!

I got the fish dinner (catfish option) with Mac and cheese and their potato salad. I picked up my order, and when I got in my car I was hit with the most DELICIOUS smell I have ever experienced. Filled the car up. It took all my willpower not to bust the container open and devour it completely in the front seat of my car like a wild animal lol. The moment I got home and was able to eat, SOMEHOW it was even MORE delicious than I had anticipated with the smell. Everything was cooked to perfection and spiced perfectly. I had to force myself to eat slowly just so I could savor the taste. I will definitely be coming back here again!!!

We've very much enjoyed our previous visits here, but this time around gave us pause. We thought we would feed the family with a dozen whole wings and some sides, but wound up with what could best be described as an unfortunate illustration of 'skimpflation'. The full size whole wings we have previously enjoyed had been replaced with what you'd expect from a bar as an appetizer. Still very good, but just not enough food there. If cost or supply factors have resulted in this product change that's understandable, but I would prefer paying a higher price for the same dining experience than be confronted with a reduced portion for the same price as before. Thanks.

Update 2/13/2022: Just got the fried whiting dinner. Fantastic, some of the best fried fish I've had period. Absolute best whole wings around (crunchy, well spiced, and juicy), exceptional smoked spare ribs, and very comforting soul food for all the sides. I've gotten pretty big and meaty ribs most of my visits here, and hoo boy, 3 of those makes a nice entree with 2 sides. This small restaurant is probably one of my favorite lunch places around, with the added benefit that they're actually open for dinner(!!!) too! Lots of parking in the back, which is a rarity for a PGH satellite town establishment. Their homemade BBQ sauces are also delicious. I like the spicy one with their wings, and the honey one with their ribs. Overall, can't go wrong here. Service is pretty polite and good, and the place is kept pretty clean too.
