Creole Soul is a really great place to meet new friends, enjoy some music and have some great food. I’ve never had good catfish until meeting Chef Isom. It’s the best!!!

This is easily the best place to eat in Des Moines, and youre WRONG. If you dont believe that. Every dish was heavenly. The service, and personality of this place is off the charts. I couldn't of asked for a better experience! Please support this place.

The catfish was amazing!!! The owner is very friendly and makes the whole place feel welcoming! I went in on a Sunday and as soon as I walked in I was greeted with smiles! I got the catfish basket, the catfish melts in your mouth and the waffle fries are seasoned perfectly! The sauce that is provided is amazing! I highly recommend if you looking for some good food to come here!
