Extremely clean dining. Large portions. Friendly service. Good conversation. I'm happy we found this little gem. My husband and I were passing though and looking for some breakfast. Renee did not disappoint. We'll try to make it back in the fall, hopefully for some BBQ 😋 ✝️

I had the oxtails at Cloray’s Cafe, and they were absolutely the best I’ve ever had! The meat was tender, flavorful, and fell right off the bone. The seasoning was perfect, and the rich, savory gravy took it to another level. The portion was generous, and every bite felt like a taste of true Southern comfort. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was friendly, making the whole experience even better. If you're looking for authentic, delicious soul food in Bessemer, Cloray’s Cafe is the place to go. I’ll definitely be back for more!

Maybe the best meat and three I've ever had... I've done 18 years in the South. Mac and cheese, collards, (with a dash of heat, which she wouldn't share) she's amazing!
