From the moment we arrived, everything was fantastic! Manager Michelle was very personable and accommodating. Our waiter, Trevor, was absolutely amazing! He was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent customer service throughout our visit. The food was delicious! The fried Chicken, Macaroni & Cheese, sweet potato Soufflé were all incredible, and the Cajun Shrimp Pasta was equally amazing! Every bite was full of flavor! The drinks were great, and the atmosphere was absolutely perfect! Such a wonderful vibe for a great dining experience. read more

Cute atmosphere, good food, but the overall experience? Ehhh...we need to talk. My daughter and I visited Soufflé Bistro & Bar on a Thursday afternoon. The interior is super cute, definitely giving Atlanta vibes! The host was welcoming, and our waiter, Xander, was friendly. Now, the food! Fried Green Tomatoes - 5/5 PERFECTION! Crispy, flavorful, and the feta cheese and sauce brought everything together beautifully. No complaints! Soufflé Rolls - 4/5 Fresh, crispy egg rolls stuffed with mac and cheese, collard greens, and candied yams. Delicious, but the sweetness of the yams overpowered the other flavors a bit. (Cocktail) Pretty Piggy - 2.5/5 Adorable pig-shaped glass, but this tasted like a melted watermelon Jolly Rancher! Way too sweet, but surprisingly strong! Duluth Delight Breakfast- Just OK My daughter wasn't impressed. The scrambled eggs had way too much cheese, leaving them wet and tasting like they'd used sliced sandwich cheese. French Toast Sandwich - 3.5/5 I originally ordered Cajun chicken pasta, but they were out of chicken. The substitutions didn't work for me, so French toast it was! Delicious, but the sweetness became overwhelming after a while. (Cocktail) Mystique - 3/5 This $20 cocktail was supposed to have a smoky dry ice presentation. Instead, I got a lime-green drink with no dry ice. Apparently, they were out, but nobody mentioned that BEFORE I ordered. Sir. The drink itself was fine, but nothing special. Now, the not-so-great stuff... Our appetizers took 25 minutes, and we had to flag down our waiter just to order entrées. We arrived at 12 PM and left at 1:55 PM. ON A THURSDAY! They also only offered bottled water. Xander mentioned it was "just a little extra," which turned out to be $5 PER PERSON! No complimentary alternative was offered. So basically, pay $5 or stay thirsty. Lunch was around $140 for two, including an automatic 18% gratuity (regardless of party size). And AFTER paying, I noticed they'd charged me for the Cajun pasta I NEVER RECEIVED! Thankfully, they reversed it, but CHECK YOUR RECEIPTS! Also, no cash or tap-to-pay. Bring your physical card! Overall: 3/5 Would I return? Possibly. The food was good & the atmosphere was cute. But between the long waits, missing cocktail presentation, $5 water, and billing error, the experience didn't quite match the price. I don't mind paying premium prices, but I expect premium execution. read more

We came in on a Thursday evening and the restaurant was nearly empty, so I honestly expected the service to be a little smoother. There were definitely some good moments, but overall the experience was very hit or miss. The crab cakes were probably the best thing we ordered and were really good. Unfortunately, it wasn't just the sauce that took a while -- everything seemed to take a long time to come out. The seafood dip had good shrimp, but I wasn't a fan of the bread that came with it. The greens were too salty and spicy for me, and the catfish had a stronger fishy taste than I prefer. We also wanted banana pudding, but were told it would take around 30 minutes, so we decided to skip dessert. Service was extremely slow, especially considering how empty the restaurant was when we arrived. Another thing I didn't love was finding out at the end that the restaurant is cashless. That wasn't something we knew beforehand, and the payment situation became a little awkward. There was also an automatic 18% gratuity added to the bill. The restaurant has potential and there were definitely a few things I enjoyed, but for the price and overall experience, I expected better service and consistency. 3 stars. read more

Had a great Saturday outing at Soufflé Bistro in Arlington! The catfish was really good, and the fried green tomatoes were thick-cut but packed with great flavor. The vibe was second to none great atmosphere, good energy, and definitely a spot where you can relax and enjoy yourself. Our waiter was good and took care of us well. Overall, it's a nice place for brunch or to pull up to the bar and hang out. Definitely a good Saturday spot! read more

The vibe at this place is amazing. From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed in the warmest way possible.

The Soft Grand Opening experience at Souffle Bistro and Bar was GREAT from the time we walked through the door until the time we left. Bebe, the General Manager, was so nice, and the customer service was top tier! I had the Hot Honey Fried Chicken with mac and cheese and Brussels sprouts. When I tell you that macaroni and cheese was delicious! The Brussels sprouts were good but a little over-charred, so I couldn't fully enjoy them. My friend tried the Hot Honey Shrimp and really enjoyed it. Overall, the food was good, the vibes were good, decor beautiful and they even surprised me with a slice of delicious birthday cake. That was such a sweet touch. From the ATL to Dallas... FlavorChaser Approved! read more

We thoroughly enjoyed Soufflé B&B. I saw some reviews on social media and thought it'd be nice to stop in and celebrate a friend's birthday. We did Saturday brunch and the food was excellent. I ordered the breakfast sandwich with cheese eggs and chicken sausage with a side of potatoes. My friend ordered a bowl of grits and the crab cakes. Both were seasoned to perfection, fresh and hot. Let me say, you will be full! The portions are healthy so you're getting your money's worth. Our server was very attentive, polite and helpful. He made sure our water cups were full and even had the staff do a table celebration with a slice of German chocolate cake. Cocktail: I chose a strawberry peach mimosa and my friend chose the Under the Sea. Between us, spent about $118 as they add 18% gratuity. However, we had a great time. Noise level wasn't too high and it had an upscale vibe but also welcoming. You should check them out! read more

Off the rip the ambiance was nice and pretty had the R&B music playing to where you vibing and don't have to talk over the music. The waitress we had was really sweet, attentive, and on point of what we needed. Now what I ordered wasn't bad, which I ordered the omelet with chicken sausage with potato wedges and a pineapple mimosa which was not too sweet or bitter. With the omelet I think it should of had more meat choices to choose from. When I go back I will try something different. read more

I normally don't do reviews but since this is a newer restaurant I want to give a review to hopefully help out the restaurant. Food: The food was good for what my wife and I ordered, I got the red snapper and she got the catfish and grits, however, she originally wanted The Arlington (this meal comes with a steak), but she was informed that they cook their steaks and lamb chops only well done and it can't be altered. That is a huge turn off! Both meats should be cooking to the customers preference. Drinks: The drinks were good but some came in odd shape cups, like a mushroom and were definitely over priced. The odd shape cups are not needed and make it difficult to drink. Atmosphere: The place looks nice but definitely needs tinted windows to block out the sun, especially in the afternoon when the sun is shining bright through the windows. The chair that I was sitting on felt hard and cheap, probably just needs a better cushion installed. The table was wobbly like the base and the top wasn't tightened the whole way. The bar also doesn't match the vibes of the rest of the restaurant; needs better organization appearance of the alcohol bottles. Service: The service was decent, but we were informed that they need a physical card (that's fine) but there is a automatic gratuity charge of 18% and then at the end of the bill ask for another tip. So overall, this place gets 3 stars But definitely has potential to be much better. read more

I know thay are new but... We were greeted when we walked in, but it was a little bit of a challenge to find the right door because of the lack of signage. Michael was our waiter, he had lots of energy but it took awhile for him to service our table because he had a large party he was helping. The decor is nice, they have music playing to create a vibe but it was a little loud and made it hard to have conversation. The booths are spacious but not crazy about the cloth fabric, made it hard to maneuver in and out of the booth. It also took awhile for our drinks to come out and we just got waters and soda. It took my friend almost 30 minutes to get her drink from the bar. The food came out piecemeal. My friends ordered a breakfast sandwich, we had 2 catfish and grits, brussel sprouts, oreo Waffle popsicles with a side of bacon and my husband ordered the, chicken and waffles. We got one catfish and grits and the breakfast sandwich first, then my kids bacon, then the 2nd catfish and grits, brussel sprouts and about 15 minutes later my kids waffles came out and about 5 minutes after that they bought my husband chicken tenders and waffles...my husband said absolutely not. Michael apologized and said they had burned the wings and wanted to bring him something. My husband was like that is not what I ordered. About 10 minutes later my husband finally got his meal but everyone else had already finished eating. He said the chicken was just ok and he wished the batter had more flavor like cinnamon, sugar, and nutmeg. It was not worth the wait. My catfish was cooked well but it was advertised as Cajun, it was not spicy at all. I also got a drink berry and bubbes, it was actually tasty but not worth $18. The Brussels sprouts were cooked well, but they had too much salt. Michael apologized again and discounted our meal but they charge 18% gratuity regardless of the size of your party. We said, if they make it a year, we may come back because hopefully by then all their challenges will be worked out especially in the kitchen and the bar. read more

We had our weekly #DateNight on Thursday this week to check out the soft opening of @soufflebistroandbar and I must say we WILL BE BACK! The servers were very attentive and the food was delish; creamy grits will have you wanting to slap yo mama! My only concerns were the potatoes were not top notch because I love a good mash, the peach cobbler was okay, but I do not like chunky cooked peaches, and the crust seemed like some type of soggy/crunchy cookie. Lastly, it was a bit warm when we first walked in, but the service manager Mike took care of that! We went for an early dinner, but as the time passed, the place filled up. Make your way by Arlington to check them out soon! Ask for Tyler, he was great and tell Mike we said what's up! read more

This restaurant is a 10/10. I was a little hesitant to try it initially because of mixed reviews but honey when I tell you I'm so happy I followed my heart and gave it a try because it did not disappoint. When walking into the restaurant we were greeted by a hostess who was so kind and hospitable. That was just the tip of the iceberg, the restaurant and decor is BEAUTIFUL and that description does it no justice. The server was just as kind and welcoming as the hostess and knew the menu like the back of his hand. Now let's get to the food...baby everything was on point. From the sol rolls, to the banana crunch waffles and the fried chicken not to mention the grits were soooooo good...some of the best I've ever had. To top that off, there was no hassle with parking. I'll definitely be back whenever I'm in Arlington. read more

Amazing food, environment, and service. Our service was Malaysia. She was knowledgeable of the menu, so sweet, and very patient as we asked questions about the menu and picked over our cocktails. The food was promptly delivered and fresh. This reminds me of a restaurant I'd find in Atlanta but it's in a perfect location in Arlington. The food was sooooo good. I can't say enough good things about this place. I'll definitely come back on a weekend! read more

Souffle Bistro & Bar - Heart Throb cocktail and Soul Rolls - Southern Near Me - Arlington, Texas

The catfish & grits and the shrimp & grits are some of the best in Dallas. I go back for those meals often. However, The service along with the lack of kitchen help and preparation needs so much guidance and expertise. They run out of popular food items often, take way too long bringing requested items to the table too frequently and have a big issue with the entire staff working together to make the experience good and cohesive. They also charge mandatory 18% gratuity which is fine if the place deserve that tip (&yes waiting staff may be docked by kitchen and leadership, but that is why the leadership and expertise is so important); this place isn't able to operate at the level of an 18% gratuity just yet. However the food never seems to disappoint. read more

To start the space was very nice and lively love the music and atmosphere was dope. We started with the egg rolls which were tasty and delicious hot and fresh. Only down side it did appear our food was either forgotten or given to another table because our other part of our party received and ate their food and we had a long wait for our food. The manager made sure to give a discount on the mishap but when we did get the food the hot honey shrimp, Mac n cheese and Brussel sprouts all top tier. So definitely still recommend so keep in mind on busy days/nights the wait time might be long. read more

We came for brunch and had an awful experience- from the service to the food and even the bar. We orders drinks, appetizers, and entrees and really hit the mark. Our sever was not attentive at all and everything took at really long time to come out and the staffs attitude about it made it even more unpleasant. Would not recommend or return. read more

Terrible service and kind of sad how clueless these people are in here. Quick to tell you about the auto gratuity etc etc, but you have to search and ask for everything. No water no polite greeting hell no waitress etc etc. It's sad because you want to support your people but I will never sacrifice my experience for something like this. Finally got a waitress after I had to ask for one after waiting 20 minutes. Ordered drinks waiting another 20 + whoever knows how long because we got up and left. 0/10 sorry not sorry. read more

This is a beautiful place. Gorgeous chartreuse seating. Our meal was very slow to come out of the kitchen. One person had their food 20 minutes before the other 3 people at the table. If you don't ask for tap water specifically it's a $5 charge for a bottle of water. Tap isn't offered although that's what I expected when I asked for water because they don't serve unsweetened iced tea. We were all surprised by that. The food. I'm not a picky eater and it's a tough menu to find something that sounds good. That being said my vegetable omelette was good. It came with roasted potatoes but they were undercooked. There are very few uncomplicated choices. Between the glacial pace of the kitchen and the overall experience we won't be back. read more

We were a party of 8. As soon as we sat down, the waitress informed us the kitchen was behind schedule. When we asked for new water glasses for our refills, we were told that there were no more glasses.The waitress was attentive and to my surprise my food was good.. I'm not saying I will not go back. I will allow them more time to get it together. read more

We visited Soufflé Bistro and Bar with high hopes for an elevated dining experience. The restaurant is well-appointed with a really nice vibe, and we would honestly love to see a place like this thrive. Unfortunately, the actual experience fell completely short. Arriving at 11:45 AM, we waited a full hour just to receive an appetizer of deviled eggs, and an hour and a half before our entrees arrived--only for the waffle to come out cold and tough. To make matters worse, the overall service and food were terrible throughout the meal. At this rate, it's hard to see them succeeding unless major changes are made. Extremely disappointing. read more

Atmosphere is cool and the staff is pleasant but the service is awful. Even with having the first available reservation time for brunch, it took an hour and 50 minutes for our food to be delivered and another 28 minutes to settle our bill. If it's wasn't for my daughter's birthday, I definitely would have walked out. When you have set stipulations like mandatory gratuity added and 90 minutes max on seating, you should have an operation that runs so well that customers aren't so adversely affected. This all topped by the food being below average (lacked seasoning and flavor). Hopefully they can get their services improved before it hurts their reputation. Just one bright note, Gabrielle, our waiter, was wonderful, patience and very apologetic for the poor experience. At least it showed they cared. read more

I loved the design of the restaurant very pretty I love the music good customer service the crab cakes were delicious so good they are a little pricey their drinks are expensive and the food I got a Cajun shrimp pasta that wasn't Cajun or spicey lacked seasoning the greens were too sweet I never had sweet collard greens didn't like it. read more

The food was delicious. I got the waffle tower and whole chicken wings. The fried green tomatoes were the best I ever tasted along with the angle eggs with fried shrimp. However, the music was too loud for a conversation and the service was very slow. Apps took long to come out, and the tables food did not come out together. It was very beautiful but definitely more hands needed in the kitchen. My friends complained about the pancakes and waffles not being cooked long enough after they were the last thing to arrive. I few kinks to work out but I'd definitely order to go! read more

At Soufflé Bistro and Bar, I ordered the ribeye steak. I was with a table of four and two people ordered pasta and the other ordered catfish and breakfast potatoes. And to start, it took over an hour to just get our food. Our server only came to us about 2-3 times which was only to get our drinks, entrees, and food, not to check on us or see how we were doing. When I got my steak, it looked nothing like advertised, I didn't get to say anything because I was already late to something else I had a reservation for (due to the food taking so long) and because I assumed that this was atleast alike to what it was supposed to look like. My steak looks NOTHING like how it was supposed to be, and it was also very well done despite me asking for medium well. No, my steak wasn't cut into 4 large thick chunks of juicy steak. I got 4-5 pieces of actual good steak which were all very thin and skinny. The taste was good but the rest of my 3 thin and skinny pieces were all just fat. I started to assume I just got someone's leftovers because that's literally what it looks like. The inside is nice, just extremely cold. No, I would not eat her again. And despite me hinting at a complaint for my food, nobody checked on me. In fact, our server said "Well everyone got here at the same time so it will take awhile and our chef is busy", she brushed it off. All I got as an 'apology' was 10% off ONLY for the birthday girl (in which they didn't celebrate), not for anyone else at the table. I wouldn't recommend Soufflé Bistro and Bar if you're looking for good service. read more

The food was just OK not worth the money I have the chicken and waffles. Chicken wings were very small.

Wanted to try this new place for my solo birthday dinner. It was abnormally hot inside the establishment, which was 85 degrees or more. After I was seated, I had to ask about the A/C unit and was informed something was currently wrong with the vents and unit. I just had a glass of ice water, pulled out my battery powered fan and waited for the waitress to return to ask for all my food to be placed as a to-go order. Went to sit in my car A/C to wait for my food to be ready. Went back in after 30 minutes and was met with multiple plates and told they were out of bags. They asked if I wanted them to wrap in plastic, which still worked. Perhaps this was just a horrible day to go, and wish I had not wasted a birthday reservation because it was for 7:15pm. Once I got home, I sat at my dining table and reheated the food. Although I couldn't enjoy the establishment, the food turned out to be decent. I can't honestly recommend right now. read more

Souffle Bistro & Bar - Seafood pasta, appetizer egg rolls, lollipop lamb chops, brussell sprouts - Southern Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Food, wouldn't know how it tastes because the electricity went out. Lol. Drove 45 minutes and then my table and I sat in the dark when they FINALLY addressed the electricity issue after about 10/15 minutes. They told us " the electricity is out, it's Labor Day and no one is coming, all of your drinks and food, we will cover and happy Labor Day" VERBATIM!!! I mean as a paying customer, who went to a restaurant with no electricity, how would you interpret that??? We proceed to the door and get ran down as if we were trying to skip a tab, by a server who wasn't even our server lmaooo. I cannot make this up. Then the manager had the audacity to say "no you misinterpreted what I said". Okay. I guess the whole restaurant did!!! It was unprofessional, the service was horrible, the wait time is extreme and I really couldn't tell you how the food tastes. If it was my restaurant, I'd keep it closed until I got better management, proper etiquette, and more attentive servers. In this day and age, "black owned" labeled is not enough. Like have some decorum. Have some respect for the PATRONS that keep your business open!!! We don't HAVE to go somewhere with $20 drinks and no electricity!!!!!! read more

Negatives: This was my first time going here. I was seated at the bar and the bartender greeted me and was very nice and gave me this disclaimer: They have 18% gratuity on every ticket regardless of the size of the party and they're a cashless business. I paid $31.25 just for myself (no drinks included) I had to wait 45-50+ mins for chicken and waffles. The chicken wings were very small (3) and waffle was dry. The presentation was very poor and not what was pictured on the menu. The excuse was that they had some large parties and I'm assuming that was the priority over everyone else in the restaurant. They're were multiple waiters/waitresses just standing around so i'm assuming it was the kitchen's fault but nonetheless not a positive experience. I wasn't offered anytime of complementary drink for wait (neither did I ask so maybe try that if you experience this) . I also didn't ask to not pay. Going back I probably should have just declined the food and walked out the restaurant. Positives: The interior was really nice and the music selection was great. The chairs were comfy! Overall I would not recommend this place if you want great food or great service. read more

Decor was bright with pleasant tome . Server was attentive . Food - steak amd eggs. I wanted medoum but was told they can only prepate well done . The eggs and potatoes were salty. The sh pasta was equally salty hubby barely ate his food . The wafffle banama was juat ordinary. It took them 50 minutes to serve our meal. Definitely NOT coming back. And Mandatory 18% gratuity. For what we ate and the wait it wasnt even worth a 10% read more

The decor was very nice and inviting. The service was good but you can tell the waiters are all new to this line of work (very green), but no reason to fault them. We ordered the soul rolls - they were good but not sure the sweet potatoes need to be included. My husband was in love with lollipop lamb dish - he raved about it end to end. I kept it simple and had the chicken & waffles - pretty standard, BUT the side of Mac and cheese was well worth it! Overall the restaurant has promise and I'm rooting for them to improve the kinks and become a staple. read more

This was by far the worst restaurant experience I've had in a long time. Although the ambience gives an upscale feel, it was nowhere close to being so. The restaurant manager(s)/owner(s) is running this place like they don't understand the logistics of the restaurant business. I'm not a restaurant owner, but I watch a lot of food network shows to know some basic things that should have been considered, but were not with this place. The server was nice despite the rest of the experience. He was in the position of being subjected to the higher ups lack of knowledge of running a restaurant. The music was up too loud like they thought that would add to the ambience, but it was quite disruptive to us being able to talk. We came to a restaurant, not a club. The the oddest thing is they don't have fountain drinks. I believe they had an ala carte option of drinks, but I had already started to tune the server out because I just didn't understand why there was no option for simple fountain drinks. It's unheard of to me. They didn't have enough cups for everyone, so it took forever for our table just to get waters because we had to wait for clean cups. Also very odd that the servers didn't have any pitchers available to use to bring more water. Considering that the menu items they serve for the brunch menu are basic, there must have been only one cook in the kitchen because took forever for us to get our food. They have the nerve to have note of a 90 minute limit from the reservation time to eat when you're booking a table on their website, but brought our food out one person at a time at the table. Apparently the cook was making batches of certain items to be brought out and not cooking to have each table's orders out all at once. They need to watch The Line on HBO Max right now so they can see how the kitchen should run. I decided to order the Fried Green Tomatoes and the Strawberry Cheesecake Pancakes. The tomatoes came out later than they should have from the time I ordered them, but were good, so I was looking forward to the pancakes. They turned out to be a bit undercooked and did not taste well In flavor. They should do away with trying to do their "fancy" presentation of releasing the strawberry and cheesecake sauce over the pancakes at the table because it didn't add anything to the excitement of wanting to eat them and definitely didn't make the pancakes taste any better. This place is a deflated soufflé. SMH... read more

the food was great!!! I went during brunch time. I recommend the Sol Rolls tasted like thanksgiving in a roll. the drinks were good as well and we're feeling the drinks before I left lol.

I wanted to love this place because the establishment itself is very nice and the musical selection played was great, but the service was completely unacceptable. We arrived and there was no wait--we were seated within 2 minutes. However, it took about 15 minutes just for someone to come take our order, and over 30 minutes just to get a glass of water. Ultimately, we waited a total of 2 hours and never received our food or our drinks. To make matters worse, a party that arrived well over an hour after us was seated and received all of their food and drinks within 15 to 20 minutes. Whenever we informed our waitress about the delay, we were just repeatedly told, "We will have this fixed shortly," "Your drinks will be out shortly," and "I'm looking into your food now." Unfortunately, those turned out to be empty promises, as nothing ever arrived. Beautiful venue, but the communication and service were absolutely terrible. We left hungry and incredibly disappointed. read more

The food is really good, the hot honey shrimp, the cornbread is the bomb, along with the sides. However the service is absolutely unacceptable.
