Soul Food Restaurants in Louisville, KY

“Monique and Clarence are a class act! They catered a meal for my company and it was nothing short of phenomenal. From the service to the food.. everything was absolutely perfection. Thank you for treating us like family!“

“Franco's food is always great! However, the service has fallen off a bit! I will still continue to go there because there are just some things you cannot get at soul food restaurants that they tend to specialize in. The atmosphere is great, the place is just small. So, I take my food to go every time. Also I use a rollater walker so it is difficult for me to move around when the restaurant is very crowded as it was when I was there.Parking: The parking lot can get kind of tight when the restaurant is very crowded.“

“Lack of beer.“

“good taste to food an the price is right“

“They have everything ready for you to pick between already cooked right then. Everything is especially tasty and the people are very nice .friendly. helpful and courteous. The atmosphere is good fun and smiles. I love this restaurant home cooking with a dining experience.“

“I went right at 12 pm this past Sunday. It was my first time and they DID NOT DISAPPOINT! The food was reasonably priced, it came out piping hot and everything was seasoned to perfection. Not only that, but they checked on us often to make sure we were satisfied and didn’t need anything. They earned a regular that day!“

“Buddy and I were in the mood for some good home cooked fried chicken. Dixie chicken and West Louisville did not disappoint. Best dark meat greens mac & cheese I've ever had. The peach cobbler did not disappoint and the eggroll was to die for. Worth almost getting shot over!“

“Chicken Wings Mac and cheese and fried corn meatloaf and pork chops coleslaw were all delicious as well as the bread . Loved the entertainment when we ordered . Hands down your missing out if you haven’t tried . Definitely a 5 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The Soul food is so delicious this past Sunday I had the fried chicken wings macaroni & cheese & green beans with turkey and corn muffin and caramel cake so good Service is great and warming. Ambiance nice you can dine in or take out.“

“I ordered the Soul Fried Chicken with fries and green beans as well as the smothered pork chops, green beans, and Mac & cheese dinner with a side of Philly Cheese steak eggrolls. The food was EXCELLENT!!! Although I only got one pork chop, the eggrolls made up for that. The seasoning and taste was on point. The staff was friendly and pleasant. This has now become a MUST STOP restaurant.“

“Today was my first time eating at Southern Express Soul Food, and I learned something new... Comfort Food and Soul Food are not the same thing, but the difference isn't in the recipe. Let me explain.I walked in and was greeted with a smile and friendly conversation with the nice woman behind the counter. I've been to many restaurants with a nice staff that made me feel welcomed, but I had never felt more welcome than I did here. As I ate, I thought about why it was that I felt so welcomed. What I realized was the woman and gentleman behind the counter were genuinely nice folks that were passionate about the food and service they provided. I felt that they sincerely wanted to share their passion with others. The people running this restaurant served comfort food, but they put their soul into it.The woman helped me decide what to get from this cafeteria style restaurant and when she told me how cheap it was, I knew I was in trouble. As of April 2024, every item is $1.75. I gorged myself with fresh and delicious food. I had a chicken thigh, 2 pieces of fish, jambalaya, mac & cheese, and macaroni salad... I wanted to add other things but my plate was overflowing. All of this food, including a can of Coke was $12.25 plus tax.You can tell when something is made from scratch and everything was. Plus it was so delicious... The love that went into the preparation and serving of the food truly made it soul food.I had passed this place many times over the years when I visited Louisville and kept meaning to stop. I now regret not stopping sooner.Vegetarian options: There were many pasta salads, cheese potatoes, and sweet potato, and other vegetable dishes, though I did not ask if the greens and green beans were vegetarian.Wheelchair accessibility: The entrance is sidewalk level, but when I went, only one of the double doors was working.“

“Chicken is the best around town and I'm very picky when it comes to chicken ! Rest the food is also really good too ! The kids LOVE the chicken and mac n cheese and even the green beans . Prices are pretty decent . Only complaint I have is parking and building can use a few updates . I stop here every time I'm in Louisville !“

“Ok so I had high hopes for this place, I was later told that there's an even better location. The chicken looked so delectable and there was a small line. Overall I enjoyed the crispy chicken, not so much the sides or the fish sandwich--but if you are seeking no frill soils chicken? This is one of the spots.“
