Soul Food Restaurants near Ferguson, MO

“I’ve gone to King of Soul for breakfast and absolutely love it! Today I decided to try dinner! We’ll I was a little disappointed. While their customers service is on point, the price is right and the food is delicious, today not so much on the taste. The mac & cheese was a bit salty, the yams were not freshly made and while the bake chicken was good there was no pan drippings at all. None for the chicken and none for the yams. So my dinner was a bit salty and dry. On top of that, right as they were bagging my food, I was told, “I’m sorry, we don’t have any cornbread. It will be 30 minutes. They are just putting it in the oven.” Whaaaa!? no cornbread, and I ordered collards. My humble suggestion would be, if you you open at noon, and folks are coming at noon, as I did, your cornbread maybe should be one of the first things you cook. Listen, everyone is off their game at some point and time. It happens to the best of us. I will patronize King of Soul again for dinner and hopeful I will be experiencing some good, finger licking “soul food.”“

“Took my husband to Hive this morning for Father’s Day breakfast. The wait staff is great! I had the absolutely delicious lamb chops, eggs, and breakfast potatoes while he had pancakes. He enjoyed one of my lamb chops to complete his meal. I highly recommend Hive if you want to have a great breakfast!“

“I visited the Ferguson location today w a friend who will be moving away from STL shortly. We were both first time visitors. Cathy was cooking and the food was amazing. My friend had the Friday Special (catfish, shrimp, and wings) while I chose the Thursday special of wings and shrimp. Both dishes were perfectly executed, tasty, and not at all oily. 10/10. Please support this small business.“

“My husband and I were on an anniversary road trip from Tennessee and decided to come to St Louis to see the Arch way. We decided to eat at Ace’s Smokestaq for an early dinner! Antonio and his family are so amazing and the food was absolutely on point! We felt like family! We even got a baby shower gift after we ate and brought it back for our new cousin 😉 Thank you for making our trip memorable and being who you are! Your family and restaurant are amazing! With love from Tennessee🫶🏻 -The Bush’s“

“I got the fried catfish, it was so hard if I threw it at the wall it would have put a hole in it. The sweet potatoes were from a can, no nutmeg, just sweet, the mac and cheese had some bacon or something in it that was crunchy. Cabbage was mushy, fried chicken had no seasoning to it, the bake chicken was just wet. For $70.00, do not waste your money or time. A hard No!“
