I went to the Soul Food Cafe on a Saturday afternoon and ordered a catfish plate with yams, double macaroni and cheese, potato salad, and cornbread, and the price came out to an expensive 32 dollars and change. I noticed the price on the food plates jumped drastically after 3 pm, and the difference between a lunch and dinner plate is that the lunch comes with two sides instead of three.
The customer service from the employees needs work as I didn't receive a greeting, and the employees had a going-through-the-motions attitude. When I received my to-go plate, I said, “ Thank you.”
The lady replied, “ Uh huh,” instead of the customer-friendly response, “ You’re Welcome.”
The food I ordered was basic and did not impress me at all. The mac and cheese had what looked like gobs of sliced cheddar cheese melted on top and did not move my taste buds; I love mac and cheese, so it takes a lot of work for me not to like mac and cheese, and that was the worse I ever tasted from a restaurant. The yams were comparable to something from a can; the potato salad and the catfish were regular. The pancake-style cornbread was the best part of the meal, but even that tasted ordinary compared to other soul food restaurants.
Honestly, the highlight of my visit consisted of the picture wall; they had many pictures of celebrities who had stopped by over the years, and I found that interesting. If only my taste buds had found the food as captivating as my eyes had found the pictures on the wall.
Based on the food quality and the high cost, I wouldn't return. There are soul food restaurants in Las Vegas where you can consume succulent food and pay substantially less.
