Mama Sheila's House of Soul

Amazing Food and the staff was very welcoming!

I recently came here with a group of friends was extremely off put by the cashier’s attitude. It was like he didn’t want us there.. felt unwelcome from the second I stepped in till the second I stepped out. No greeting just snarky remarks and a mean looking face. Why work at an establishment if you don’t want to welcome customers. I dont know if mama Shelia even cares but I would like to let her know her food is amazing but the black male working the counter was extremely rude and made me not want to come back. Do something about this or lose customers and I am sure it’s not only me and if it is that’s a different conversation I don’t think we are ready for

Cashier has one of the nastiest attitudes I have ever encountered. I do not recommend unless you don’t respect your self. I would like to go back but literally don’t feel welcome. Why open a business if you are not gonna work on customer service??

Stopped for a bite at Mama Sheila's House of Soul let me tell you not only was the building beautifully decorated but soon as you walk in your filled with the smell of home cooked food from the soul you can tell everything is made from scratch and is beautifully presented behind a glass case so you can see and pick exactly what you want! The customer service here was immaculate. She even gave my children a treat. It was the sweetest thing passing through from Portland, Oregon, and stopping here was one of the best highlights of my trip across country. I highly recommend mama sheilas ! 

Five stars isn’t enough for this place! The food is absolutely delicious! Mama Shelia and her son are great! The atmosphere is so inviting and comfortable and to see all the pictures of black excellence!!! we come eat at mama Sheila’s every time we pass through MN! We will be back soon mama Sheila!

Finally got a chance to come here, and I must say I was very pleased with everything. Being a southern, I was missing home cooking meal. I love the atmosphere. You can listen to nice music or watch TV why you enjoy your meal. The staff was very welcoming also. I had the meat loaf, collar greens, Mac n cheese , rice and cornbread. I also wanted to try the jerk spaghetti. Cant go wrong with none of these. Highlight recommended to give a try.

I ordered through DoorDash and I ended up having to throw the entire order away. I had Meatloaf, Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes. It was the worst tasting food I’ve ever had!

I am going to try to sum this up without wasting your time. GO EAT HERE. 🏆
I sincerely hope that summed it up. Here's why; We were greeted by a very friendly man. Once we explained that we were visiting from Ohio, he quickly explained the pricing and order of things. He went over the menu and answered any questions we had. Bet 🫶🏾
Pricing was $10.95 per pound. It's set up buffet style but not an all you can eat for a set price buffet type thing. Y'all, everything looked good. I wanted a Lil bit of everything. 🐷 So here's the options that I can remember: fried chicken, jerk chicken, smothered chicken, BBQ chicken, meatloaf, and catfish. My husband was shocked there were no ribs and they told him no swine on the line 🤣 Side items consist of mashed potatoes, mac-n-cheese, cabbage, green beans, black eye peas, greens, candy yams, red beans and rice, and probably a few other items I can't remember. Cornbread was the only (and rightfully so) bread item!
Ok I had the BBQ chicken which was amazing. The meat was just falling off the bones. My side items were cabbage, green beans, mac-n-cheese, and candied yams. The cabbage and green beans were the star of the show. Omg so good 👍🏾 😍 Like, sooooo good. Every single bite had seasoning in it. It was a win-win situation here. The mac-n-cheese was good. Not the best I've had but still good enough to make me happy 😊 The only downfall was the candied yams. They just weren't good. Everything else was so good, I didn't even care. I was full on top of full. I was soul food wasted! 😋🙌🏾
I ordered a slice of red velvet cake to go. I haven't eaten it yet. I'm excited tho.
The atmosphere: classic African American owned esthetics. Walls covered in famous and historical African Americans while also giving you a little bit of important history about each one. The music playing in the background was old school R&B 🏫 Perfect sounds and surroundings for a perfect meal.
