Famous Cafeteria

The Famous Cafeteria was a restaurant located at 1713 4th Avenue North from the late 1920s to the early 1940s. Owners Daniel Belyeu and Roscoe Chandler advertised that, "It was our idea in the beginning to give to the Colored People of Birmingham an up-to-date Cafeteria where one could go and choose a wholesome, well-balanced meal from all fresh home cooked food. A place where one could fee free to take his sweetheart, sister or wife, knowing they were to dine in a place of absolute comfort and an environment free of molestation. A place that the public would appreciate."
