Soul Food Restaurants in New Orleans, LA

“Headed to New Orleans in July, and Sweet Vegan Soul Food will be my first stop after leaving the airport. This will be my third visit to this restaurant. The food is absolutely delicious! The facility is clean and the staff is so friendly. When traveling I’m always excited to locate a tasty vegan restaurant and this place is my spot when in New Orleans! I can’t rave about it’s food enough…simply delicious!“

“Today was our first time having food from here. We ordered via Uber Eats. Everything was absolutely delicious! my kids and I were beyond satisfied. The portions were plentiful, allowing our family food for tomorrow as well.“

“Fam Bizz catered my job's holiday party and the food was delicious! I enjoyed every dish. I especially loved the dressing...and I don't even like dressing like that, but Fam Bizz has restored my faith!! Oh-M-Geeeee!!! I look forward to supporting this business for a future event!“

“10/ 10.. we highly recommend! My family of 12 came in and they had no problem seating us and giving us the best experience ever! Rocky provided the BEST customer service that we have received throughout our entire time in NOLA. She gave great recommendations on the food which was all GREAT.. kudos to the chef also! The bartender was also not slipping as she woke up the family with the drinks and vibes! Let’s just say if you’re in the area B Spot is definitely a must to be added to the itinerary… oh and Rocky also had her list of recommendations ready for things to do! The experience was amazing!!! Thanks B Spot for showing us the true NOLA vibe!! 🥰“

“Nola Delicious Cuisines is DELICIOUS!!! Ms. Bianca is by far the best caterer I've found. The food is always perfectly seasoned and served hot and fresh. The service is prompt and extremely professional, and the prices are reasonable. I'll definitely be back. You have a lifetime customer.“

“Delicious food, generous servings, professional and pleasant staff.“

“Fantastic!! Not too sweet and not sour. This is one of the smoothest lemonades I’ve ever tried !! 10/10 highly recommend 😇“

“I had their smothered chicken, which was one of the specials of the day. It was good. My husband had the grilled shrimp, crayfish Mac and cheese with broccoli. OMG! It was so good. They definitely load up your plate because neither one of us finished our meal. Love their pineapple lemonade..It wasn't overly sweet, which I appreciated. I would definitely go back.“

“Some of the best food in New Orleans“

“Wow, finally we have something awesome in the very center of our city! I just bought a delicious lunch for just $10.93 with tax!!! I'm used to buy prepped meal in the city and did not see anything below $15 lately! The variety of fresh food and drinks is so pleasant! Coming back tomorrow?“

“I saw this on Trip DDD food network I wanted one of them sandwich with five cheeses in it“

“Absolutely Amazing! One of my favorite places“

“Great food reasonably priced. Much better than some of the better known and prettier places we’ve eaten at in Nola. We had the super dome and Benson Boogie. We will be back!“

“The food here is amazing!! Also just a cozy place. The staff was working their butts off when behind the counter. If you come here, you won’t wait for a table, but you are going to wait for the food and drink. There is only three very hard workers. You will need to be patience for all the great food! We got the dips to share which was awesome. My table had the baked feta which was messy and great. The lamb was great just smaller if you are looking for something filling, but not a big portion. The burger is sooooo good and very different. If in the neighborhood, give this place a try.“

“Beautiful & amazing place! Our crew enjoyed the food and drinks the service was 10/10 !“

“Food and service is top tier. Im from Baltimore and I will def be visiting Nola again just to come back for Mambos food. we sat on the rooftop and it was so chill and beautiful views. We tried so much food and everytbing was 100/10, the flavor, the temperature and the freshness.“

“I thought Kajunlicious was still only open for takeout, but when we walked up to the takeout door, they invited us in. They were very hospitable to my family and I and the food was delicious. I look forward to when they can open the bar!“

“Another night in NOLA which means it’s time to try a new food spot. Earlier today I was over on Canal and passed by Willie’s. The smell itself drew me in and I decided at that moment that I was coming back. LoL!!!! Willie’s sits right on the strip so it’s super easy to find. The front was totally open and there were a few tables outside on the sidewalk. As the strip is super active, sitting outside would be dope if you wanted to people watch. LoL. Walking up to the counter, each register had a cashier so the line was running smoothly. Taking a moment to review the menu, it was as one would anticipate; simple, straightforward, and one dimensional. The highlight of Willie’s definitely appears to be the Daiquiri’ as there are many options. I decided on the 3pc Cajun Tender Combo which comes with Fries and a Honey Biscuit. I also added a side of Red Beans and Rice. I mean, it is NOLA so I had to do it. I placed my order. Received my number. And took a seat to await my order. The restaurant was clean and vibrant. The yellow and red throughout the restaurant really set an upbeat tone that pairs well with the neon lights and vibrant colors of the Daiquiris. Once my order was ready, it was delivered to the table and I was good to go. Let’s talk the Food: Biscuit - Simple. Buttery. Crunchy around the bottom edges. Soft in the middle. Nothing special to note. Reminds me of a biscuit from Church’s. I’ll say 7/10. Tenders - Big. Juicy. Crunchy on the outside. Well seasoned. That’s it. That’s all I got. 😂😂😂😂😂😂. I’ll say 5/10. Fries - Well Seasoned. Crunchy. I’ll say 7/10. Red Beans and Rice - Now hear me out. I love a good RB&R and these were good. There were way more beans than there was rice, which is ideal for this kind of dish. They weren’t too spicy. They were flavored well and the beans were tender. You can definitely tell they were slow simmered. I’ll say 8/10. Now… hear me out! The food wasn’t bad but for $25.00, chileeeeeeeeeeee. No ma’am, No sir. Lemme go to the chicken spot for half the price. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying I won’t maybe go again if I want a lil piece of a tender. But at $13 for the Combo and $8 for the RB&R… imma need a coupon or something. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Ok, Ok. In all seriousness, if you’re in the area, go for the experience. *P. S. For my Up North people, Willie’s puts me in the mindset of our “New York Fried Chicken” spots that be on the strip in the hood.“

“Amazing food. Awesome staff and atmosphere!“

“Friendly ppl great food I was in New Orleans and they treat u like you are from there just all around good ppl THANKS“

“Love this place for breakfast or lunch.
Everything bagel sandwiches, life changing.
Also you’ve been warned if you get the spicy chicken, be PREPARED. It’s HOT!!! ?
Everything is always so good here. Sandwiches are always stuffed.
Gumbo is always delicious. Also don’t forget to grab a brownie. To die for!“

“Come in as stranger leave as family“

“I don’t understand anyone saying this is the best chicken in New Orleans. It was mid at best. Very little flavor in the flimsy breading. Puny wings. Prices were fine & they obviously have a vibe with lots of character. Staff were friendly.“

“A hidden gem with outstanding food! Only 3, 4 top tables and 4 seats at the counter. Food is served in to go containers with a plastic fork so don't come in expecting fancy, just delicious! The shrimp plate comes with a dozen jumbo shrimp (probably 13-15ct), grilled blackened, or fried, and two sides. Everything was wonderful and the shrimp is local.“

“Stopped in Louisiana today to go on an airboat tour. Went to le roux and ordered 10 wings and the fish and shrimp dinner. It was phenomenal!! 5/5 rating Would recommend trying out!“

“🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“Great vibes friendly and loving staff and the owner is outstanding“
