This timeless treasure has been in operation since 1921, making it the oldest continuously operated African American family-owned restaurant in the country. With every generation that takes over, a new name comes into play. You may remember the restaurant under Freeman & Harris Cafe, Pete Harris Cafe, or Brother’s Seafood.
