Cornbread Restaurant & Bar

Award-winning Southfield soul food since 1997: Southern classics with an upscale twist, sweet potato muffins and a full bar.

01 / The story of this place

Make time for these

Cornbread is the sequel to the beloved Beans & Cornbread, serving Southern soul food in Southfield since 1997. The kitchen gives traditional favorites and low country dishes a more refined spin. GQ named it one of America's 'new classic' restaurants, Hour Magazine readers voted it Best Soulfood every year from 2004 to 2020, and its food even showed up in the movie 'Sparkle' with Whitney Houston. Don't skip the sweet potato muffins.
