Southern Express Soul Food: Reviews & Ratings

I don't know the name of the gentleman who served us, but he was so nice, patient, and respectful the whole time. The gospel music playing set the vibe right away, and | already knew the food was going to be good. And it was! The cornbread was on point, the Kool-Aid hit just right, and I had both the oxtail and catfish because I'd been craving them. Neither one disappointed. Everything was seasoned perfectly. Great service, great food, and an atmosphere that makes you feel at home.

The food was absolutely delicious! I had the smothered pork chops and meatloaf along with macaroni and cheese & dirty rice! So much flavor and seasonings! The establishment reminds me of a southern greasy spot where mom and elders are in the kitchen making magic happen!! The decor is sort of dated but very clean! If you wants some amazing southern food, check them out!! 10 out of 10, recommend!!

This place was just what it claims to be! Good soul food, fast! They had everything I could think of on the buffet! The owner/manager/ boss, was really pleasant and explained everything as she prepared my plate. I tried a little of a lot. Smothered chops, good gravy could have simmered a little longer for tenderness but tasted good, hot link sausage was spicy and delicious, yams were amazing, green beans just ok, baked chicken great, Mac and cheese wonderful, dressing great taste seasoned well! People were super friendly and hospitable! I didn’t know this place existed but now I do and I’ll be back! Check it out! It’s the real deal! Oh I almost forgot, the oxtails were stupendous and the kool aid just one step shy of diabetic coma which means they did it right!

Great food and wonderful service. This is a must stop whenever I’m in Vegas. Wish I could find this kind of food in Arizona. The fish and Mac & cheese are bomb.com!!

The food is SOOOOO GOOOOD! We had the deluxe plate with (3) Salisbury steaks, red beans and green beans & dinner plate with neck bones, baked chicken, mac-n-cheese and greens. The greens had a good kick of spice and the cheese sauce tasted like it's made from scratch. I don't know what to say other than show a before and after. We almost made a trip back to get another plate before they closed but we needed a nap first. The place was very clean and had a full spread of every kind of soulfood item you would want. This was a gem not far from our hotel that we wish we would've found the day we arrived. Would definitely come back the next time we visit.
