Soul Heaven Cafe & Catering - Mobile, Alabama

First of all, let me say this building is old. It can be hard to keep something like that clean. That’s my biggest concern with this restaurant, added to that it tends to be very hot in the warmer month. Chairs and tables are dirty. Now let’s move on to the positive. The food was amazing. Chopped steak, vegetable medley and country fried steak were a few of the items on our table. All that and the sides were very good, fresh and hot. Great home/southern/soul cooking, whatever you want to call it. Good service, friendly people. Affordably priced lunch specials.

While I wholeheartedly give my highest rating for the customer service, which was attentive and friendly, the food fell far short of expectations. Based on previous customer reviews it seems to be hit or miss. I stopped in, to enjoy what I anticipated would be a delightful meal. However, after waiting longer than I had hoped, I opted to take my order to go. This decision, unfortunately, led to my disappointment when I finally got to sample my meal.
To begin with, the catfish I had been looking forward to was rubbery and tasted like tilapia. What I thought was broccoli, rice, and cheese casserole turned out to be more akin to garlic soup and the cornbread, was dried out. As someone who genuinely loves supporting local businesses, I found it disheartening to leave with such a negative impression. While the service was commendable, the food simply did not live up to the high standards set by their hospitality. Unless changes occur, I don’t think I can justify a return.

My total for an oxtail plate and banana pudding was 44.99. I received 2 small bones with very little meat and another small bone with no meat. Not worth the money. Too bad because the flavor was good, but I won’t be back.

Food was on point! Stopped in due to curiosity. I'm glad I did! It's been a long while since i had amy good soul food, and this blew me away! I had The Chef Ms. Lillie, fix my plate for me, and she absolutely knows what she's doing. 2 sides, 1 entree, a drink, and a desert put me at about $20 plus tip, and it was most definitely worth it. They also offer catering, which is good to know! I highly recommend this place if you're out west mobile.

Note: They recently moved from their Moffet location, so if you've been a customer, come on out this way!

I like their food, but you never know what you will get. That could be due to different cooks in the kitchen. Today, the potato salad is watery, the cornbread has no taste, and the rice is not thoroughly cooked. The mac and cheese and cabbage are pretty good. I gave it four stars because I have had good food here in the past, and the customer service is pretty good. I don't go back to this location as often as I do the other soul food restaurants because I don't know if it's going to be the same as the last time or water down and undercooked food.

Wanted to support our local restaurant, so we stopped in during their posted hours. Workers inside, doors locked. You can see by the picture of the hours and the clock behind that we were there during business hours. ?‍♂️ We went to Texas Roadhouse instead.

Paid almost $9 for a "large" side of greens and a piece of cornbread that they forgot to put in my bag. Wasn't going all thwle way back for bread...Greens had zero flavor, zero meat. Will definitely not come back.

It was definitely a Heavenly feeling after I ate! ?I was full, happy & ready to lay down.☺️ We will be back whenever we are in town. Everything I tried was so so good, okra, chicken dumplings, Lima beans, greens, yams, & etc. Folks gotta put this spot on the list of must eat.
