We tried to go to Jean Alberts when they were located at Hallville. However, they were always closed when we went past. Last night we finally got to their Somerset restaurant. When we arrived we were the only ones in the restaurant but soon others arrived. Jean served us with perfection. The corn bread was hot and tasty. The best... More

We went to Jean Albert's recently, and after having been in the Carolinas and Georgia in the past month, can say their food is authentic and really delicious. It is more like what you would make at home if you were lucky enough to grow up eating this type of cuisine. We had the chicken and waffle, with a cornmeal... More

I was very exicited to see a soul food place going in. It really just wasn't that great. The pulled pork had no bbq sauce... despite the server insisting that there was sauce on it (weird). And they charge for extra BBQ... what kind of BBQ restaurant charges for barbeque sauce. Both times I went the food was cold. The... More

This was my second trip to Soul Food with my husband. We LOVED it when we went before. Leroy stayed open a little later and served us amazing chicken and waffles. This time, the server was his wife I believe. She was friendly enough, but had a condescending tone in her voice the whole time and made eye contact/spoke only... More

I went to Jean Albert's tonight with the recent Groupon. I brought my 4 year-old son. We started with the lemonade - his straight lemonade, mine with a tequila add-on. Both were great, but the boozy version was pretty steep at $7.50. The cornbread is delicious. The waitress was fabulous - just the right amount of attentiveness and a really... More

First: You are in Canada, although you are cooking Southern cuisine, a Canadian flag should be up as well as your enormous American one. Loved the pancake style cornbread, delicious. The menu definitely should have green beans as a side... Southern sweet tea has lemon on the side not in it The chicken was amazingly moist and mighty good Sweet... More

I was in Ottawa for a week on business and decided to try something different each night. I checked into my hotel and opened up the Visitor's guide for Ottawa and just happened to flip to a page with a small article about this new restaurant. I saw in the article some of the offerings the restaurant had. The first... More
