Soul Food Cafe

I have been in Vegas 4 days. Kenny ran this place with ease. When I say it was our first time and we were nervous. This man was so accommodating, attentive and kind. The cornbread was hot water deliciousness. My catfish was fried to perfection. I don’t eat anyone’s greens, but my mom’s. He let me tase the greens 🔥. That lemonade and dessert delicious. Please don’t at here you will not be disappointed.

Catfish, okra and greens are very good. The pork chop that I had on a previous visit needs to be a little bit more tender. Some of the other sides needed some work, for instance, the cabbage is cooked too long and is a bit soggy. The macaroni and cheese needs more cheeses (multiple) and some or more seasoning. Nevertheless, I'm willing to wait for their improvement. Although I was disappointed by some of the sides the catfish alone is worth continued visits!

If you’re in Las Vegas and craving some real-deal soul food, Soul Food Cafe is the spot! My husband and I stopped by, and let me tell you—this place does not disappoint. I ordered the catfish dinner, which comes with three sides. The catfish was fried to perfection—crispy on the outside, flaky on the inside, and seasoned just right. For my sides, I went with the collard greens, mac and cheese, and French fries. The mac was creamy and cheesy, the greens were perfectly seasoned, and the fries were fresh and crispy. My husband got the BBQ chicken, which was tender, juicy, and smothered in a rich, flavorful sauce. He chose the collard greens, mac and cheese, and yams—those yams were sweet, buttery, and melt-in-your-mouth good. And let’s talk about the homemade lemonade—absolute FIRE! Sweet, refreshing, and the perfect balance to all the savory goodness on our plates. Portions are generous, service is friendly, and the food is made with love. If you’re looking for some of the best soul food in Vegas, Soul Food Cafe is the place to be!

This was my second time ordering, and I opted for a pick-up—and let me tell you, the experience was just as incredible as dining in! The food was so good that I found myself savoring it for three days afterward. Every bite tasted as fresh and flavorful as if it had just been made! Sheila, the owner, went *way* above and beyond. It truly felt like she prepared the meal right in my own kitchen with the utmost care and love. Her attention to detail and dedication to her craft are unmatched. This place continues to set the bar high, and I cannot recommend it enough. Sheila and her team have created something truly special. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

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.

YES! This was my first time ordering from here. This is such good food! I am so happy right now! I ordered the fried chicken which was crunchy, juicy, and full of flavor. It is exactly how fried chicken should be! The sides I ordered were the greens which were gone in like 2 seconds. They have a slight kick but they were cooked to perfection. Rice and gravy the gravy was delicious and full of flavor. And the red beans and rice. YES YES YES! I want to eat this everyday! So good! Something to note. I did delivery and sometimes food gets to me cold. This was still piping HOT! I would go in person and order again any day of the week.

This food was absolutely delicious. My wife ordered the fried chicken (spices were amazing)10/10, French Fries (well seasoned) 9/10, Mac and Cheese (very flavorful) 9/10, and the rice and gravy (could use more favor, take some from the chicken) 7/10. I ordered the fried catfish (again slices were amazing) 10/10, greens (wow) 10/10, cabbage (delicious) 9/10. Overall a great experience here. Unfortunately they had already sold out of Ox Tail for the day, next time.
