Need a Place to Eat, Drink or Be Merry: J’Mae’s; Our
Brothers Place; The Peacock Café
There were a number of
restaurants and places to obtain an adult beverage that our
readers mentioned but these three stood out – J’MAE’s for
great food; Our Brothers Place for food and drink; The
Peacock for drink and entertainment.
J’Mae’s is certainly the
new kid on the block. The restaurant opened early this year
at 3117 Lagrange Street and has already captured readers’
attention for the quality of its food. Open Tuesday through
Monday, owners Jaleo Young and his mother Michelle Tarrant
serve up fare “just like Mama’s.”
Meatloaf, ribs, fried
chicken, chicken wings, catfish, smothered pork chops and
more. You can dine in or take out starting at 11 a.m.
Tuesday through Saturday and 1 p.m. on Sundays.
Don’t forget about dessert
– dozens of cakes, pies and cobblers are available.

Our Brothers Place 233 N.
Huron in downtown opened three and a half years ago by
former McDonalds franchisee Glenn Johnson and his brother
Michael Johnson and brother-in-law Alvin Garmon. Michael
Johnson and Garmon manage the establishment on a day-to-day
basis.
“We’ve been fortunate,”
says Glenn Johnson. “Since the second month, we’ve been able
to pay the bills and we’ve had a number of decent events
that keep us relevant.
Along with a downstairs
bar that features a full menu, OBP also has an upstairs
facility that is frequently used for events.
The Peacock Café at 2007
Monroe Street has been around for several decades now. The
lounge was first owned by City Councilwoman Theresa M.
Gabriel and is now under the ownership of her son, Robert
Gabriel, Sr.
Some years ago, Robert
shut the place down and completely remodeled, including
adding a stunning outside deck.
Live entertainment and
parties occur frequently at The Peacock
