Bayou Wings
Keith W.

A throwback to New Orleans with the frozen Hurricanes. We did have to ask to order drinks getting our appetizer order in before. The Executive Chef coming out to thank us for visiting was a nice touch. The appetizers were great. The seafood dip had chunks of shrimp which I couldn't stop eating. The ate all of the wings. I was full by the time dinner came. The Bourbon Salmon was blackened with shrimp and creole sauce. The Seafood Gumbo had a nice roux and the right amount of spiciness. It seemed like we had a newer waiter. Small details like keeping the water filled and asking if we wanted another drink or dessert kept me from rating higher. Everyone was very nice which made for a nice visit.

Peach cobbler
Jasman P.

The pictures on DoorDash was misleading. The peach cobbler is presentable on line, but in person it looks and tastes disgusting. I also ordered the jambalaya and it was disappointing. Last year I had tried the gumbo and it was an expensive disappointment. For their prices I will no longer be patronizing this restaurant. The food isn't good. Like, at all.

Store Front
Jerran N.

Stumbled upon this place while I visiting another establishment inside of this food hall. I was greeted by one of the men up front as this place looked like food I'd like. I originally ordered the Beignets as I only wanted dessert but changed my mind once I saw the rest of the menu. I ended up grabbing the red velvet skillet cornbread, regular cornbread and Lobster Mac & Cheese. The Beignets were good and warm. The cornbread could have been better. The regular cornbread isn't warmed up like the red velvet skillet cornbread. Both seemed to taste more like cake than cornbread but were ok. The Lobster Mac & Cheese was slide for the price. Nothing mind blowing but good. A nice portion of fried lobster is placed on top of the mac & cheese. Overall it's a cool spot. Prices are solid and the customer service is ok. If I'm in the neighborhood I'd stop by.

Visited second time. I was excited to see the traffic picked up for this local restaurant. The taste of the appetizer and entree was amazing. Our server/ bartender was very friendly. Things they can improve on: operations. They took our appetizer to the wrong table. Then immediately brought out one persons entree. He was half way through his entree before our server noticed I didn't receive mine and went to check on it. It was sitting in the back for a while. We noticed they did the same at other tables as well. If they can improve on their operations, I know they will be an amazing place to visit. We will return again.

Seafood Mac
Katina S.

The service was wonderful. Cory our waiter was extremely attentive and very patient with the questions my 7 year old niece asked. My entree was the baked seafood Mac and it was delicious. I'd definitely come back for that. We also had the Georgia peach tea which was extremely good.

Big Boy
Drew S.

Yelp fam!!! I'm a big sandwich fan, PoBoys hold. Special place in my heart! That being said the PoBoys at Creole Soul were like that! When I initially walked up to the location to check out the menu I noticed a grandma in the back cooking/prepping food. That's all I needed to see. I ordered (She tired of little money need a) Big Boy - shrimp & lobster PoBoy - L,T,P & sauce comes with fries- this thing was fresh and Slapped!!! Solid crinkle fries with old bay! They had nana's banana pudding, had to try it. This is by far one of the best Banana puddings I've eaten! You can taste the love it was made with in every bite! Muddy creek water- 1/2 & 1/2 - great way to wash it all down. Sweet and familiar This spot is located inside of R house. The ambiance there is similar to Mt Vernon Marketplace. The service was great, very nice and attentive.

Catfish and grits with shrimp added
Danielle M.

YUM! We got catfish and shrimp over grits with an amazing sauce. The shrimp were succulent and delicious. The grits were so good, we saved some and had them with breakfast. Will definitely be back.

Fried Catfish and Grits
Carlyn P.

Creole Soul is located in R House. It was nice having a soul food option in the food court. We were there on a Friday night. It was a nice crowd but it wasnt packed. I had the fried catfish and grits. It took about 30 minutes to be ready. The catfish was okay but the grits stole the show. The grits are a buttery savory compliment to the fish. I believe the cashier was new. He seemed a little overwhelmed, but i think with practice he'll get it.

Bread Pudding
Cici H.

I stop at R house for dessert and found myself at Creole Soul. I ordered the bread pudding and it was so delicious warmed up. I'll have to return to check out the entrees.

Goat egg rolls
Janelle M.

My husband ordered the goat egg rolls and chicken, rice and plantains. The goat eggrolls have a kick of spice but my heat tolerance is low. But they were so good I kept eating. I've had better plantains. These were not sweet.

It's been open since 1994, and it's easy to see why. Ethel's is really homey and cozy and comfortable. It feels like you've taken a little day trip to New Orleans. We each ordered a couple of drinks (something tropical with rum for me, a martini for my friend, and sangria for my other friend). We shared a few items from their menu: Creole Shrimp Boat (sauteed shrimp, mussels, jumbo lump crab meat, and the fish of the day simmered in a fire roasted red bell pepper sauce, with Creole rice and the vegetable of the day); Hot Cat Stack (fried catfish stacked with sweet and savory Andouille sausage cornbread, spicy crawfish red pepper meunière, honey chive compound butter, hot honey, and the vegetable of the day); a half rack of ribs (slow roasted ribs, Louisiana dry rub seasoning, mopped in BBQ sauce, mashed potato, and the vegetable of the day); and a strawberry bread pudding. Everything was delicious. I liked every course we had, but the Hot Cat Stack was wow. I've had a lot of bad to blah bread puddings in my life, but Ethel's wasn't bad or blah. It was delicious - and not dry at all. At all. The service was friendly but not the fastest (we waited a while for dessert) and maybe just a little scattered! But we eventually got everything we ordered, and the meal overall was wonderful: delicious, fun, casual. I'd love to return!

We started things off with the appetizers, and the Hot Honey Fried Chicken Deviled Eggs were absolutely phenomenal. Easily one of the best things we ordered. They were so good that I honestly could've eaten an entire order by myself and been perfectly happy. We also tried the house-made cornbread. Their version was a little different from what I'm used to and almost gave me French toast stick vibes. The consistency was good and it definitely wasn't bad, just a different take on cornbread than I expected. Between the two appetizers, though, I'm choosing those deviled eggs every single time. For my meal, I ordered three scrambled eggs with cheese, Cranberry Maple Turkey Sausage, shredded hash browns, an everything biscuit with cream cheese, and pancakes. Everything was good, but those pancakes were easily the star of the meal. Honestly, some of the best pancakes I've ever had. Perfect consistency, fluffy in the middle with slightly crispy edges, and flavorful enough that you really didn't need much syrup. The eggs were solid -- simple scrambled eggs with cheese done right. The Cranberry Maple Turkey Sausage was really, really good as well. I'm personally not a huge fan of shredded hash browns because I prefer home fries or diced breakfast potatoes, but that's more of a texture preference than anything being wrong with them. I'm also not much of a bagel person, so I wasn't sure how I'd feel about the everything biscuit, but surprisingly, I really enjoyed it. My lady ordered the brisket skillet, which had brisket, scrambled eggs, shredded potatoes, peppers, and everything mixed together. Very flavorful, and the portion was definitely generous. For drinks, she had the Pineapple Coconut Colada, which was good and definitely had a heavy pour that day. I had Shirley's Crush. I'm already a big fan of orange crushes, and theirs was really good -- flavorful, refreshing, and they definitely weren't stingy with the alcohol. Our waitress, Melissa, was amazing. Very attentive, helpful, friendly, and she took great care of us throughout the entire meal. Great service can really add to an experience, and she definitely did that for us. I honestly don't have any real complaints about Miss Shirley's. The food was good, the service was excellent, portions were generous, and there were so many other things on the menu that caught my attention. I already know I'll be going back so I can start scratching some more items off the list. The only downside worth mentioning is parking, but that's pretty normal for a city location. There's a parking garage directly across the street, which is extremely convenient, but we paid around $24 for maybe an hour and a half to two hours. A little pricey for that amount of time, but I guess you're paying for the convenience of being literally across the street. Overall, my first experience was a solid 5 out of 5. I can only speak for my visit, but the food, drinks, service, and overall experience were all on point. Definitely recommend, and I'll definitely be back.

We both did the retaurant week menu, which is a great deal for $45 per person. Between us, we got the Maple salmon, Teriyaki chicken (with truffle oil pommes frites), "unconventional Caesar" salad, chicken dumplings appetizer and Sweet potato bread pudding for dessert. Everything was honestly amazing and so tasty. The chicken was succulent and pulled apart easily and the fries were delightful. My wife loved her salmon. Our appetizers were great. The bread pudding too. We will be back! If you're around their neck of the woods, go. One post-script note:The menu is a bit tricky to look at online, because you have to download it to your phone/tablet/computer first, and that's just a smidge fiddly if you peruse prior to showing up. But that's not a Water For Chocolate thing, that's a technology thing.

If I had to pick things out that made this not be a five star experience I'd pick the following: -for 600 dollars for two people you'd want it to be the best meal you've ever had. It's not that. -was there anything I could say was the best thing i have ever eaten? Not really it's all well prepared but the only thing i would really crave again is the espresso mousse. -the bread being room temp/burnt bring its down , i understand going for the rustic French look, but slicing stale bread and serving it with house butter is meh. In general I'd say , it's a great restaurant, the food and drinks are top quality, but when you're paying as much as you're paying for a special meal it doesnt necessarily take the ball across the goal line. My Chinese takeout the night before was more satisfying.
