Soul Food Restaurants near Cleveland Heights, OH

“I was riding by and so happen to catch the name with my eyes, I've heard of mama Joyce's but I didn't know they were right on Lee rd. I decided to check them out I had the catfish sandwich on white bread no cheese extra tarter sauce and added onions as well as a side of dirty rice, I ordered my wife a wing dinner fried hard with greens and Mac and added a side of yams, I waited about 35-40 mins, when I say the food came out piping hot and tasted like each dish was just made individually for me!!! The catfish was so hot crunchy on the outside inside was soft it melts in your mouth, if anyone is familiar with Hot Sauce Williams the catfish tasted just like theirs use too when it was fresh and hot I took a half of a bite and one chew and it brought back beautiful memories of Hot Sauce Williams, seasoned to perfection, the wings were piping hot and crunchy seasoned perfectly the Mac and cheese was homemade fresh great cheese pull taste wonderful the greens were dam near perfect I like to add chilli flakes and or hot sauce to mine but once again they were hot, fresh and seasoned perfectly the yams were perfectly sweetened not too sweet and the juices weren't overly thick and sweet the yams were very tender but still had bite they were perfect. Lastly was the cornbread with fresh corn baked inside which was a very pleasant surprise cornbread was very good baked to perfection cornbread was very tasty and moist I'm sure the soul bowl with corn bread base would be to die for lol, the MJ sauce was also a surprising little touch the sauce is sweet and tangy with a nice spicy finish I enjoyed it on both the fish and chicken, my wife was hooked, she tried to come back today but unfortunately I think they are closed due to the snow storm but I will be returning this week haha excellent job guys!“

“We called the restaurant about Buy one get one quesadilla special we’re told was only for online orders. We attempted to order online but couldn’t get the site to give us the discount. We entered the restaurant in the staff was very helpful in assisting with the online ordering.“

“Having a tip automatically added to the bill of two people is off-putting. For the record, I'm a good Tipper. I did actually add to the 15% automatically added because our server was awesome. But tipping is an addition, not part of the bill. Heck, add it to the cost of the food and I'll pay it. but not in tipping. that's my choice.“

The specialists here are very sensitive and professional, they helped me find answers to questions that had been tormenting me for years. This is really the key to understanding yourself.“

“The restaurant isn't eye-catching, but the food is absolutely delicious! Mr. Bailey personally greets customers with his trademark greeting and takes the time to make his recipes to order. Once you visit more than once, you're no longer a customer, you're more like family. I highly recommend it!“

“I just tried Mattie Ruth's for the first time and I got the smothered pork chops with tomatoes with okra, mac and cheese. It was the best tasting food. The porkchops were so good that the made me cry. I will eat here again, just might be lunch today.“

“Food is excellent love it thumbs up service is awesome!!!!!! Go check them out you will be in love too“

“I called ahead thinking I could grab my lunch quickly, but it ended up taking about 40 minutes from start to finish. I had to pull up, pay, and then wait for my food instead of just picking it up, which was a little inconvenient for a lunch break—but manageable. Lately, it seems like a lot of business have been having issues with people ordering and not actually coming to pay and get their food. Making it harder on everyone else. They don’t do DoorDash, which is a sucks when it’s a busy day.

That said, the food is absolutely worth it. The pork chop dinner is hands down the best in Cleveland, and the pork chop sandwich I grabbed for a coworker surprised her too. I’ve been coming here for years, even after moving away, and it’s still the same top-tier pork chops. Worth the wait, even if the pickup process could be a bit smoother.“
