"Only open for lunch, this beloved luncheon spot in Roswell gave folks a scare when original owner Annelies McMorran announced she was closing in 2020. Now back open under new ownership, people continue to head in to Anna Lee’s for daily lunch specials, soups, and sandwiches paired with sweet tea and slices of the restaurant’s delicious cakes." - Beth McKibben
"In Roswell, Anna Lee's Southern luncheonette felt like a Southern version of a diner — a small, familiar spot offering that sense of comfort and routine." - Beth McKibben
"After Annelies McMorran announced she was closing beloved luncheon restaurant Anna Lee’s in Roswell in 2020, a longtime customer stepped up to purchase the restaurant. Now reopened, people can continue to expect dining on daily lunch specials here, including fresh-made soups of the day. Make sure to end a meal at Anna Lee’s with a slice of one of the restaurant’s cakes, too." - Eater Staff
"A popular lunch cafe on Market Place in Roswell that had operated for 36 years closed due to financial uncertainty and safety concerns brought on by the pandemic." - Eater Staff
"A longtime customer, Richard Decker, purchased the beloved luncheon spot in Roswell and plans to reopen it on Monday, August 24 while keeping the staff, menu, and hours intact; former owner Annelies McMorran — who worked there as a server before buying and renaming it Anna Lee’s in 1983 and is a native of the Netherlands — will help with baking and ensure a smooth transition. The quaint cafe built a loyal following over McMorran’s 36 years of ownership, and the menu always featured a $10 lunch special that included the soup of the day, a choice of daily entrees, and desserts such as a slice of one of Anna Lee’s cakes." - Beth McKibben
