My wife and I just found a new spot to reconnect with our roots in style! Loved the atmosphere, the food resurrected my inner southern soul and the "smooth operator" coconut flavored cocktail made it dance! Cool service and good vibes and great soul food, definitely returning EVERYTIME we pass through Mobile ?!

It was okay. I will give it a 3 star rating. We did have a sweet waitress but food wasn’t that good.

I tried to support Black-owned for Juneteenth but honestly, I was not impressed. The Yung Bleu feast is not a feast! The cornbread.... Jiffy. And the oxtails....there was no ox on the tails, just fat. They were boiled for too long and rubbery to the texture. Very overpriced for the portions and quality.

The food and the service was great. I haven’t been home in a long time and it was refreshing to come to a soul food restaurant that was neat, clean, and the food was delicious.

We were coming home from a funeral and saw this restaurant. Oh, my! I'm so glad we did! The BEST oxtails I've had since my Mama used to cook them. Husband said gumbo was off the charts good. Very friendly folks and great service. We'll be back!

Omg we totally enjoyed the food there I got the beef tip entree with Mac n cheese and yams, my hubby got the Gwen's special which is Ox tails chitterlings with rice and her famous gumbo. Everything was on point and seasoned to perfection, the only thing I'd ask is to give a bigger bowl of gumbo and chitterlings. The Yams taste like they came from my mama house no cap, I will be back for more, we drove from Pensacola for this meal. Team Cash Will Most Definitely be returning to try the rest of the menu. Shouts out to Ms. Gwen for checking on our table? OH YEA FOR APPETIZER WE HAD THE GANG GANG SHRIMP THAT WE WANTED MORE OF THE FLAVOR WAS TO DIE FOR I WOULD HONESTLY GO BACK JUST FOR TWO ORDERS OF THOSE GWEN STUCK HER FOOT IN THOSE POTS.

I have passed this place often and thought it might b time to give it a try. Well, I went in with an open mind and no preconceived thoughts. The waitress was very nice and professional. The place seemed to b very clean However. The price of the food was very overpriced!!! I had the grilled pork chops which was very salty, fresh green beans which also were way too salty, and the only food which was eatable we're the French fries. My husband had the meatloaf which was again, way too salty. The mashed potatoes were just ok. The music was so loud u couldn't speak. I can say I tried it and will not return.

Food is excellent. Waitress was very nice. The gang gang chicken is awesome. Will return to try the gang gang shrimp.

Soul food is always my go to, so when I heard Yung Bleu was bringing a soul food establishment to the city, I knew I had to try it. I went in on a not so busy day, during Mardi Gras, for a nice lunch. The service was absolutely amazing and friendly. Everyone I encountered made me feel like I was back home. My food was amazing. Hot and fresh. I'm really picky when it comes to my candied yams, and they were amazing. Chicken seasoned to perfection. I'll be making my way back there soon.
The food was seasoned to perfection. The fish was served hot and tasty. The macaroni and cheese was phenomenal.

Been looking forward to trying this place since it opened. Heard mixed things about the food. Talked my boss into going there for a district meeting. It took nearly 15 min for someone to seat us although 3 different people told us they would seat us "shortly". Finally got to a table and was seated under a light that was flash right in my eyes which was annoying. I watched several different employees come out and remove dishes and trash from tables but not wipe them off. Just in my direct eye sight I saw 6 tables with crumbs left on them. My waitress ended up having to wipe those tables down nearly a hr later so she could seat other guests. The waitress that took care of us knew all about the menu and made several suggestions to us. We both chose the meatloaf. When it came out I must admit the display looked beautiful. Very colorful and everything was scooped onto the plate beautifully. We got very excited. Then we took the first bite and were sadly disappointed. The meatloaf was way over salted and had too many flavors going on at one time. The mashed potatoes had no salt at all. The Mac and cheese was terrible, I didn't take more than two bites. We wrote the place off immediately and will not be back. For a "soul food" restaurant I was very disappointed. I give it two stars for the waitress and the display of the food.

I'm a chef of 27 yrs I decided to dining here today. Well I order the gumbo and two sides. The gumbo was the worst I've ever tasted or even seen. The mac and cheese dry and over cook the collards were actually really good. I work in new Orleans and eat a lot of soul food. I expected a lot better quality of food coming from soul food.

Just had fantastic meal of gumbo, fresh collards, and green beans. Everything was excellent, and the service friendly. In fact, the whole atmosphere was friendly even with other guests. Highly recommended.
