Tiny, carryout only, though there are a couple of tables to sit while you wait or maybe to eat a quick lunch. Super friendly staff. Fairly short menu; all the good stuff. I wasn't famished and didn't want to wait for chicken or fish, so I got an assortment of sides thinking that would be quicker. They fried up the okra right then, though, and had a steady stream of pickup orders coming through the door, so it still took 10-15 minutes. It was okay, though, smelling the amazing scents coming from the kitchen, talking to the staff and customers. I hadn't noticed they have ribs (just a picture, not on the menu) so I might've ordered those. Oh well. $20 I think, or they do combos with sides or fish and sides. Anyway. I got fried okra, and it was a big portion and absolutely amazing. No need for any sauces, tasty on its own. Perfectly crisp. Baked beans: my style, sauce so thick you can eat them with a fork. Slightly sweet, mostly savory, very good. Greens (collards) with turkey: outstanding. Tender but not floppy, nicely seasoned. Cornbread: soft, sweet, crumbly, topped with butter. Yum. Geechee rice: seasoned, bacon and sausage, very good. And black-eyed pea salad. I like black-eyed peas but had never had them in a salad. These were great: plump, with bits of tomato and cucumber and onion, in a vinegary dressing. Again, yum. Enough food for two meals. They gave me the side plate special, three sides and cornbread, which helped with the price. I was headed home and not thirsty so I didn't get a drink, but based on conversations with other customers I missed out on the lemonade and sweet tea. I'll be back for those and maybe a rib-fish combo. And to try the mac. Get here if you can!

I got the whiting with fries and spaghetti. Everything came out hot, fresh, crispy, and cooked well, but that fish definitely needed some seasoning. The breading reminded me of fried chicken and had a great crunch, but flavor-wise, it honestly didn't taste like much. The person I was with got the Mix It Meal with whiting, wings, greens, and mac & cheese. The wings were good, but they had the same opinion about the fish. The mac & cheese was decent. The spaghetti was probably the biggest disappointment for me because it used to be much better when Stuffed Enuff operated out of the ghost kitchen. This time it wasn't really mixed together, just noodles topped with a somewhat watery meat sauce and a little cheese. As far as the space, the decor is really nice and everything feels intentionally put together. There's a bar area, but no liquor, and I'm not sure if it's actually being used as a bar right now. During our visit, it seemed to function more as extra seating/workspace. The seats could definitely be more comfortable, though. Overall, I'd give them 3.5 stars. Generous sides, fresh food, great crunch, and a nicely done space. They just need to turn the flavor up, particularly on the fish, and bring some consistency back to the spaghetti. If the seasoning matched how good everything looked coming out, this would be a completely different review.

Love this place when we are in C-bus…read more Best Southern comfort for sure. Great meals with sides to choose from. Save the cornbread for last, as its like dessert! The handcrafted cocktails are delicious (if you go M-F, they are Happy Time prices to boot). I always end up ordering 2! Walkable from the theaters and Columbus Commons. Park in nearby garages downtown and easily walkable. Staff are delighful, and look nice (I know, not suppossed to comment on appearances...) but they are all classy, dressed in black- looking nice... Adds to the atmosphere. The REAL artwork around the restaurant offers culture, history, color and fun. There is always music here as well- either live or streamed in, adding to the authentic flavors! Wished we lived closer!

Theres nothing like some good home cooked southern food! Continuing with the ambiance the atmosphere was something I didn't know I needed as well. It felt almost like home, so clean with a refreshing and smooth vibe. Not to mention the art that decorated the walls, and the track list, whoo we ended our lunch to some Stevie Wonder! And the service! Oh goodness I wish I could remember my servers name for the life of me, but she was a brown skinned women with golden locs and glasses and she was just amazing! She actually pointed me in the direction of the lamb chops and she made great conversation without hovering over the table at the same time! Ugh it's nothing like soul food or black owned, I plan on returning next Sunday and plan to frequent that location much more after that! Thank you Soul 2 Go!

Decor is very nice for the small space. Decent ambiance given their restrictions. Ordering was straight forward and efficient. I ordered two 2 piece Chicken Dinners with two sides. The sides were Geeche Rice , Greens and Hush Puppies. All the side were excellent. The Chicken was outstanding. Perfect crunch. Perfect Doneness. Just the right spice to not distract from the flavor of the chicken. Now just an FYI The chicken is not really spicy. Not a bad thing since the Rice , Greens and Hush Puppies supply the spices. Interesting take on the dinner. They also have Catfish . Can't wait to try both the regular and the Blackened Version. Haven't had really good Catfish since we lived in East Texas and stopped on a Fish Camp restaurant on a Bayou in Louisiana before Shreveport. I highly recommend for really good Southern Style Fried Chicken! The two women at the Counter were pleasant and professional . Wii be returning. Thanks for the Great Food!

When it's usable again the dining area is good-sized and looks bright and comfy. I saw rib tips and always have to get them (and burnt ends) when I see them, because they are the best bbq. But there's plenty of other good stuff on the menu. I'll have to come back for those. You get two sides; I got baked beans and greens. Both were good-not-great. The beans a are sweet and soupy, and have ground beef mixed in, yum. The greens are a bit bland, a little meat and seasoning. The rib tips are big and meaty and flavorful. And heavily sauced. They give you a lot of napkins and you'll need them. Seriously, if you like ribs, if you like bbq, if you like meat, search out rib tips. The best bits of the good stuff. Service was friendly and fast (it's bbq, though, you'll have to wait a bit.) Prices are reasonable for what you get.

Creole Kitchen at its new location…read more In Columbus for a court hearing in pending litigation in May 2026, I had had the opportunity to have dinner at the new location of Creole Kitchen. For years, Chef Henry Butcher operated the restaurant at a location on Mt. Vernon Avenue, not far from Columbus State Community College and the Columbus Urban League. I first met Chef probably about 20 years ago, when I was in search of authentic Cajun and Creole cooking (my wife's parents were from Louisiana, and she's a true Cajun). In that somewhat economically distressed neighborhood, Chef and his crew were the most caring and diligent team in the Mt. Vernon Avenue area, feeding the flock with French toast, breakfast sandwiches, gator and shrimp po'boys, gumbo, jambalaya, étouffée, and all manner of carry-out southern breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. Shuttered for longer than anyone expected about two years ago, the Mt. Vernon Avenue restaurant returned to a new and improved life at a location adjacent to the Lincoln Theater, a landmark preserved by the visionary Mayor Michael Coleman. The theater's owners sought out Chef, urging him to make the upgrade over to East Long Street (the theater is at 769 E Long St, Columbus 43203, and the new Creole Kitchen is at 795 E. Long Street, less than a block away). The new location was custom-built for the restaurant. It is sparkling clean, spacious, has great wall art, and a helpful and well-trained staff. I was staying at the Westin Great Southern (about a $10 Lyft/Uber from the restaurant) and I dropped in before dinner got underway. Chef was there - working with the kitchen crew along with family members who make up the front line. After I ordered double gin and tonic, Chef sat down with me, and we talked about the change in locations. And then we talked about the food: this is comfort food, Southern comfort food at its best, and at its most authentic. Start with a roux - you can't go wrong if you start with a roux. I ordered my favorite entrée - crawfish étouffée ($18), with a serving ample enough that I had the second half of it for lunch the following day. Chef's new location has ample well-spaced and comfortable seating (I'm guessing there were 15 to 25 tables and a bar), excellent air conditioning, jazz at a volume that allows for easy conversation, and a server staff who know the menu well. The staff includes Chef's daughters Antoinette and Tonya, and honors the memory of Chef's son, Henry Junior, who was a beloved member of the hardest working crew in Columbus when the Mt. Vernon Ave. venue was operating. Chef's breakfast menu is like nothing available anywhere else in Columbus: real beignets (light, fluffy pillows of fried dough dusted with powder sugar, $5), an unforgettable Creole omelet (andouille sausage, Tasso ham, tomatoes, onions bell peppers folded into three eggs with melted cheese, served with grits, home fries, and toast, $15). There's a vegetarian version as well - with spinach, mushrooms, bell peppers, broccoli, and cheese ($15). Breakfast is served until 3:00 pm, and when you order many of the items you will be encouraged to customize the flavor with your choice of spice level (1 to 5), from a gentle warmth to a fiery kick. In the past, I've had Creole Kitchen prepare catered dishes of fried catfish, chicken and sausage gumbo (a rich, soulful blend of two stocks, thickened with a dark red-brown roux and loaded with authentic Creole flavor, $8 cup, $17 bowl), shrimp or oyster po'boys (served on French bread with house-made Creole chips, $18 to $21), and seafood fettuccine Alfredo (creamy Alfredo sauce tossed with fettuccine noodles with shrimp, scallops, and crab, at your choice of spice level from 1 to 5, $18) that we served at a crawfish boil my wife and I host in Worthington each year. Happily, these and more entrées remain part of Chef's menu, complimenting an ever-changing daily menu of dishes that make returning to the venue a special treat. A note about GPS and the internet: it might take some time for the internet to catch up with real life. Google Maps will get you to the right location but be aware that if you look up Creole Kitchen Columbus Ohio on its search engine you might be shown posts from the 1052 Mt. Vernon Avenue location, all of which are now out of date. Note also that the restaurant closes from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. to allow the crew to prepare for dinner (just like the good ones do in New Orleans!). For me, the next time I'm in Columbus, I will make it a point to sit down for breakfast at this truly authentic Cajun establishment. Thank you, Chef Butcher (and Antoinette and Tonya)!

So their food is still the same as when they were off mt Vernon in the hood!…read more I got a waffle and bacon! My bacon was hard and over cooked and my waffle was warm and stiff! The reason why I stopped coming was because the food was never really hot and everything was always pre cooked and warmed back up just enough to serve especially the breakfast! I used to get the French toast but it was always soggy and over soaked in oil and not cooked long enough! And it don't rly taste like anything. To pre cooked you food sit it in trays and then warm it up on the grill to serve is diabolical! But this new location I said I would give it a shot and huni I was let down again! Same old routine just a different location! Very beautiful location at that! Staff needs some work on customer service and communication. Time management and effective management skills. I seen so much and was so annoyed I just left. I didn't even wanna pay for my food or tip but I did. Will I be back NO! but I'm proud to see how they have grown so they doing something right dispute my opinion lol. COME CHECK THEM OUT ON the corner of Garfield and long st! Can't miss em next to the Lincoln theater! Tell me what u think I'll see yall on the next review!
