Food was well balanced and full of flavour, the wine recommendation was absolutely spot on and the staff was super friendly, helpful and all around pleasant!

I recommend this restaurant to anyone that doesn't know how to cook and they are looking for food that their mother used to make. Make sure you get there early on Sundays because if you show up after 1:30pm you will be in line... Awesome Food!!!

By far the best soul food I've had In dallas. The service is quick, it's a cafeteria style serving and the options always change. Fried food is always made fresh( catfish, chicken wings, pork chops, etc). I've only been on Sundays and they run out of food!!! So come early!! The Mac n cheese is so good to me. The meatloaf is always good, esp when it has the red sauce on it. The fried chicken is fire, the greens, mash potatoes, rice , beans , yammmsssss basically all the side are fire. The cabbage needed a little tlc but nothing a little salt, pepper and hot sauce couldn't fix. I am so mad this is the second time in a row they have sold out of dessert by time I came. From what I hear the peach cobbler is to dieee for. I'll definitely write a review once I try it. I know I shouldn't but this has definitely become apart of my Sunday routine. The food is so cheap and the quality is out standing!!! For example my Meatloaf plate with three side, corn bread and a drink was $14 ... like whaaaat? You can't beat that. And the food is really really good. I had Kool-aid for the first time in over ten years today and it was FIREEEEE lol idk who made this but they need a raise! It was perfectly sweet, sour and refreshing! Family owned black business, doesn't get any better!!! Y'all definitely should come here!!

I’m honestly super disappointed in this place. I’ve seen some reviews about good soul food and great customer service but when me and my man went, it was the complete opposite. We waited in line for over an hour, ordered two plates of oxtails with two sides a piece and paid over $65. We will not be back.

Good home style soul food. Not sure about the amount of food versus price. At 15.99 a meal with moderate portions, a drink and dessert should come with it.

It’s March 24th @ 1110. The hours on the door state they open @ 11am. The doors are locked and I see employees standing in the kitchen. No acknowledgment that we are at the door. Yes, the food is good. But I’m no longer giving them a pass on basic business etiquette. This isn’t the first time I’ve experienced this.

The food was good, but not 30+ minutes of a wait good. Especially since I was the only there when I ordered. Please let's do better.
The fried fish is good, and the pieces are large.....ordered a three piece and could only eat two of them! All of the sides are seasoned well and they give you a good portion. I will be going back anytime I'm in the Desoto/ Lancaster area.
I came in there first time because my friend told me bout it I guess they was closing but I ordered fish once I paid for my food the owner was handing me my change but I told her to leave it for the other lady ... so the Owner ask me oh leave it for her really? i say yes her... the owner gv me the vibe she is greedy and selfish with the tips I believe she only wants the tips for herself..... smh I'm not coming bk there... I was only trying to support her business but something is off about the owner

Sunday Feb 19 23. Unbelievable meat loaf tastes like it was burned bottom part.They tried to cover it up with extra sauce. Amount of vegetables they give you is very small. $16 for a dinner, I tried to eat it couldn't taste the meat loaf. All I could taste was all the tomato sauce they had on top. It went in the trash can. I can't understand why would you serve food? that you wouldn't eat if you went to order food. Been going every Sunday after church, think this was it for me. Not upset hope they're blessed with their business.

It's okay, the first time I had their porkchops, they were really good and juicy. The last two times I've had their chops, they were not that great. The breading was so thick and the meat was so thin, it was very deceiving. The greens were so salty that my fiance and I could not eat them. It's hit or miss with this place. The mashed potatoes and oxtails are really good!

Although this place was under staff at the time I went there it was well worth the wait.I would travel 100 miles to come eat at this place the best food that I've ever had in a long time since I left home.And It was even better than some of the home cooked food I've had. No disrespect to my Cali family!!!They've got Neckbone and people its on point!3 plates later.I was extremely but wanted more.I spent 33 and some change, and men and women, it was well worth it.I love the diversity that came through the door!We need to get her restaurant in the old T-Mobile building off of Hampton and Pleasant Run here in DeSoto Texas and I say this because it's located in a location that would bring what we need on that main strip and somebody knows the owner of this property donate this property to the Bistro I-35 Southern Soul Eatery and Lounge owner!"Amazing Bistro I-35 Southern Soul Eatery and Lounge"A you Need a volunteer Sunday-Tuesday. I'm ready!
