    Dat Creole Soul now has a brick and mortar place down in Des Moines, Wa! The owners name is Hampton and he is also a flight attendant for Alaska airlines! He is one tall dude that has brought his Louisiana cooking to our town! We will definitely go back. Located just off Marine view Drive in the lower part of the brown building at 22341 Marine View Drive S, in Des Moines, wa I had the shrimp etouffee and hubby had the seafood platter. Hubby is not a lover of catfish but the waitress brought him a little piece to try and he ended up liking it and ordering the meal.

    Uncooked catfish my kid was about to eat

    I was excited to see their food truck at our neighborhood, we ordered catfish basket, shrimp po'boy and gator bites. Excitement turned to a big disappointment! The food was cold, not even a little warm, but I was ok with it and threw the waffle fries, catfish and gator bites in my air fryer and I go enjoy the po'boy. The po'boy was huge and shrimp was flavorful, however the bread was hard and stale. The food in my air fryer is now ready and I take it out to the fam. My husband was excited for the catfish, he takes a bit and spits it out and said it tasted mushy he breaks it in half and found it was completely uncooked. I checked the piece on my toddler's plate and it was also uncooked. 2 stars for the flavorful shrimp bo'boy, stale bread. Gator bites, bland tough nuggets. Catfish basket, uncooked

    Wow! I lived in New Orleans for 2.5 yrs and have never found a place outside of NOLA that serves Andygator! The alligator bites were A+!!! When in Des Moines I would go back for the Alligator Bites and Andygator! Boom! A must for NOLA flavor!

    I came to try the beignets on this easy like Sunday morning kinda day. The beignets were good but the friendly service even better. Looking over the menu, I asked if they had chicken. And although it was not on the regular Sunday menu, my server brought over 2 nicely crisp chicken wings. Shhhhhhhh don't tell nobody. I did have to ask for silverware but no big deal. My order of fried mushrooms came and beignets shortly after. Fun little Des Moines spot that I plan to visit again

    I've been a few times on my own and with friends .. speak easy vibes with R&B and soul music playing at all times. The crawfish Mac n cheese and catfish are amazing . staff and owner are fun and personable. would definitely recommend !

    Arrived about 7:30PM on a Friday night based on a segment from King 5 evening. The place was full but we got a table because 2 people were just leaving. There was a big group on a huge couch around a large coffee table and a few other groups around high top tables. It definitely had a living room like vibe. As is the case everywhere else, they are looking for staff and the service was friendly but slow. It took a while to place our order but the food came fast but it took a long while to get our check and pay the bill. I had the swamp platter with jalapeño hush puppies. My wife had the same without the fried gator (shrimp, oysters and catfish). Everything was very good but I could have saved $7 and left off the gator. I had not had fried gator before and it tasted just like any other fried fish but it was a bit tough and chewy, like a large piece of calamari or octopus. The shrimp were large and the fried catfish was spicy and perfect. The soul sauce was very good. Other tables had ordered the red beans and rice and that looked delicious. They have an extensive bar but no draft beer. The price of bottled beer and Bogle Chardonnay was reasonable at $7. They served the platters on large plastic plates covered with checkered black and white paper and plastic utensils. The restaurant is small so it can get crowded at times and the table we had was really like a narrow shelf along the front wall, not the most comfortable location. The fried food was very good but not better than another seafood restaurant a few blocks down the street that we have visited many times. We look forward to coming back to try some of the other items that are unique to this restaurant but we think that the competition serves up shrimp, fried fish and oysters that are just as good.

    Once again, awesome meal. Hampton... you put your foot in it! (That's a compliment). Looking forward to fresh clams??? next time??? Always exceeds our expectations.

    Jalapeño poppers, fried pickles, shrimp n grits, catfish basket and voodoo wings
    Heidi K.

    You won't be disappointed. I have tried almost everything on the menu and haven't had one thing I haven't liked. My favorites are the catfish basket and voo-doo wings, jalapeño poppers, fried pickles and shrimp etouffee! The service is exceptional with southern hospitality! They allowed me to sample things before ordering which I love! Food was cooked to perfection and oh you must try the banana pudding for dessert!

    What a great new find in West Seattle. I was in the Admiral area and saw the lights in this food…read moretruck. I stopped by to see that they had and was psyched about almost all the things on the menu! Pasta, Chicken Wings, Mac 'n Cheese bites, Fish Tacos, super great selection. The food came out hot and relatively fast for the stuff I picked. The Nook was open, so I had time to grab a quick beer while I was waiting. I made the difficult choice and settled on Fish Tacos, Mac 'n Cheese bites and the Potato Salad and Macaroni Salad. Portion size was good, definitely had leftovers for the next day. The food was great, the salads were fresh and didn't feel like they were scooped from store bought tubs. The fish tacos were really tasty and I really like the corn tortillas. I like that the Mac salad had black olives in it, better than the salad down at Marination! I'm not sure exactly what their schedule is for West Seattle as they're pretty new, but I checked on their website www.GilbertsGreats.com. I'll definitely stop by the next time I see them in West Seattle!

After coming to what I felt, was a great price, he went above and beyond to make the night one to remember! He made everything so easy and he was in and out before we knew it. Very Professional! Thank you for everything! Would recommend this caterer to anyone!
