Miss Eddie's Market & Café — aerial view

Before there was an address,

there was a family.

The woman who built this.

Same woman. Sixty years apart.

Miss Eddie

Miss Eddie's is named for Mrs. Bertha Edison — the grandmother of developer Mikial Onu. Four generations of strong women who led with grace and fed their community.

Mikial built something with her name on it. In Southern Dallas. Where it belongs.

Every grandmother has a table.

Hers just happened to feed a neighborhood. Miss Eddie never needed a restaurant — she already had one. It was called home. Now it has an address.

The market, the café, the BKYD — all of it is an extension of what she built at that table. A place where everyone is welcome. Where the food is good. Where the community gathers.

This is for the community.

14,800 residents in Southern Dallas have been underserved for decades. Miss Eddie's Market & Café is the only farm-to-table full-service restaurant and market in the area.

We hired from the zip code first. We sourced from local farms. We built the BKYD for free community programming.

More than $5 million invested in Southern Dallas. Over 40 jobs created — Southern Dallas residents hired first. This is not charity. This is what a community-rooted business looks like.
