Soul Food Restaurants near Laplace, LA

“Mama’s Kitchen was recommended to us by Dominique at the Whitney Plantation when we asked where we could find authentic southern food. My partner ordered the gumbo and the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and corn. I had the fried chicken and fries. My partner summed it up perfectly as we were heading back to NOLA: “It didn’t feel like a restaurant. It felt like we were sitting at someone’s table and mom was cooking in the kitchen.” The service, food, and atmosphere were all truly wonderful!“

“I was really hungry and my mom stopped and got me a plate. She got me greens, catfish with candied yams and cornbread. My God. I usually don’t like other people’s greens outside of my parents, but I tore that plate up! So much flavor, not too salty and a lottttt on the plate. I will be back!“

“The lady in the front with the piercings is very sweet and pretty. The food is excellent and the service is great. Potato salad sucks. It's like mashed potatoes with mustard. I wish the owner would allow myself to show him a fire recipe for potato salad. I guarantee many people would return for it, and it alone.
I love to help him with that. No money, no nothing. Just help him out. If he responds to this, I might give him a small sample to see his business flourish . Then, give him the key to the recipe.“
