I got the salmon with mac n cheese and fried zucchini.. I just don't really know where to start. The Mac and cheese was sOo greasy and mushy.. There's very little seasonings on my salmon or the zucchini.. I mean no salt. I had been waiting to try this place for a while and I must say it was a very disappointing experience. The waitress was nice but they don't offer you water while you wait or check in. Why is it soOo hard for these spots to put together decent sides? Salmon was ok and I like that they have Crystal Hot Sauce packets but to be honest..... Sometimes I only want sides so I probably wouldn't choose to return.

I wasn't expecting my entree to be entirely fried! (Including the Brussels sprouts!

No sauce offered except ketchup.

The menu I previewed online may have been a seasonal one, because the dish I wanted - shrimp and grits - wasn't being offered.

This was my first time in Sac and I didn’t think I would find a good spot based on what locals were telling me. Everything was really good, even their steak. The owner was very friendly and came out to check on us. The young lady that took our order was very pleasant and helpful. The fried chicken was crispy and fresh. The Mac was good, it tasted homemade and wasn’t over overpowering like other soul food spots I’ve had. Everyone has different expectations with Mac so you should definitely try it for yourself. They even put thought in the salad, they don’t give you basic lettuce that’s just water, you get lettuce with actual nutrients. The salad was bigger than I expected and I wasn’t made at it. Out of everything I ate, the cornbread has my heart!! If you don’t try anything else, GET THE CORNBREAD. It was sweet and soft and the butter they put on it…DELICIOUS!! Sacramento, I need y’all to keep this place in business so I can come back. Check them out for sure.

I recently visited Sacramento from Wichita, KS, and met up with my cousin at Creole Soul to catch up. He recommended the place, and I’m so glad he did! I ordered the catfish dinner with collard greens, fries, and a cornbread muffin, and he ordered the fried chicken and waffles. Everything was delicious, and the portion sizes were more than enough. We both had leftovers. The catfish was perfectly crispy and well seasoned, the greens had just the right texture, and the cornbread muffin had the right amount of sweetness. The fries were crispy just the way I like them.

The atmosphere was relaxed, the music was great, and the staff were friendly and attentive. It wasn’t overly crowded, which made it the perfect spot to enjoy a great meal and good conversation. I didn’t get to try the desserts, but they had a nice variety, including sweet potato cheesecake, which I’ve only ever known my mom to make!

I highly recommend checking out Creole Soul if you’re in the Sacramento area.

The food is DEEELICIOUS! They don't always have a variety of fish and don't care for catfish and allergic to shellfish. Service well, alil slow after you order buut they do their best..lol! I will say the owner gave us shots of Tequila, which was AWESOME! You pay first, the restaurant is small and quaint. The atmosphere is a nice family oriented neighborhood vibe of mostly friendly folks. Overall, I really like this place. 🥰

We checked out Creole soul on September 17th for a later dinner. We arrived roughly around 7:45 and the place was still a bit busy but not overly crowded. There were a few folks at the bar and at least three other couples at the tables around the main dining area. The back section was being closed off and prepped to be cleaned.

When we got to the cash register the individual behind the counter asked if it was our first time here and we told them yes. They were excited to tell us about the specials and what were some of the most popular items that people buy. I had told them that I was really interested in the mac and cheese and the fried blossom and she said that those were some of the main items that people get and are super tasty.

The food overall was delicious. Specifically the catfish that I got because it was fried to perfection and you could tell that the fish was very fresh. And hands down the two sides of the blossoms and mac and cheese were super great with the choice of fish.

My friend really enjoyed the chicken wings that came with his dish. Again they were cooked to perfection the sauce was a balance of both sweet and spicy and little tangy. The one call out for us was around the peach cobbler. The spice used for it through us off a little bit. We believe that maybe cloves were used in the seasoning mixture. This did take away from the taste of the peaches and the waffle itself. The potential clove addition was overpowering to the other ingredients.

Other than that we would definitely go back and try other dishes on the menu.

We were excited to dine at the restaurant, but our plans were changed when we arrived and were informed that they were closed. Despite their website stating they didn’t close until 8pm. We couldn’t help but feel that they were simply unwilling to serve us due to the size of our party. Hopefully we could come back another time.
