As others have said, this is a Black owned establishment that serves a community without many sit down options. I'm really pleased that they do a great job with service, food quality and price point. HSH doesn't have an extensive list of options, so they're able to do what they do pretty well. For appetizers, I've only had the fried green tomatoes. Pretty flavorful, especially with the sauce. In different visits, I've ordered salmon and grits, shrimp po boy, salmon and grits. All of them solid choices. At one of our "working lunches" we opted for adult beverages to take the edge off of an especially trying day lol. Sturdy drinks indeed. It's really a decent spot for a nice breakfast, brunch or lunch at a reasonable price. Definitely recommended.

The West Side finally got one!…read more Customer Service-Great experience, as they were packed and still serving smiles!!!! If you've been looking for some really good soul food on the West Side of Bmore, Yai and Toya is a spot that you really need to put on your radar. I'm always super excited to see a good food option come to the West Side, because the East Side has been the number one contender for a while. Food- My Husband and I tried: Catfish, Mac & Cheese, Candied Yams, Collard Greens, String Beans, Seafood Egg Rolls, Salmon, and buttered rolls. The food was soooo good. Everything had that comforting, flavorful, satisfying feel you want when you're craving a good soul food meal. Somewhere that makes you remember your Grandma's cooking. B-more, the West Side finally got one!!! I can't wait to try more of the menu. Ambiance-Very aesthetically pleasing, carry-out spot! Parking: They are small and mighty; as a result, the parking can be super rough. Get there when they open or place your order online through the Toast app when they open, because they do sell out very fast.

All of the appetizers were delicious and perfect for sharing. For my main I had the seafood mac and cheese which was a great choice! They definitely don't skimp you on the seafood and the mac and cheese was creamy, cheesey, rich and delicious. It was a touch over salted for my taste but that didn't stop me from enjoying it all! Our server was really sweet, super attentive, and very friendly. The kitchen closed before we could order dessert which was a bummer since we were all looking forward to it. They should give folks a last call heads up to order before the kitchen closes. Otherwise we had a nice nice and meal.

I recently visited Creole Soul Kitchen and Bar and unfortunately had a very disappointing…read moreexperience. I ordered the blackened catfish over rice, and when I began eating, I noticed the fish was undercooked and partially raw in the center. This is extremely concerning from both a quality and food safety standpoint. I understand mistakes can happen in a busy kitchen, but serving raw fish when it is supposed to be fully cooked is unacceptable and could potentially make someone seriously ill. I hope management takes food preparation and temperature checks more seriously moving forward because no customer should have to worry about food safety while dining out. The atmosphere was nice, but the food experience definitely needs improvement.

After we agreed to go there, we drove and when you walk in. There is not seating but the place was full of people waiting to be served. We were told before ordering that there is a 35 minute wait. There is one line for orders and another line for pick ups. We thought that the hoards of locals coming in and out was a good sign. I ordered an 8 party wing platter with hot honey. As my sides I ordered Mac and greens. I wanted to get the cabbage with beef as an extra side but they were out so I got an extra side of yams and a dessert of banana pudding to share with my niece. I waited in my car And we got a text when our order was ready. The food was cooked really well. It was well seasoned. My mother ordered a drink and it was pretty sweet but for us that just meant we can add water and share it between us. The meal platters are full and not skimpy. The hot honey wings were somehow wet and crispy at the same time. The sweet Potatoes were just sweet enough for me but too sweet for my mother. They had the perfect amount of cinnamon. The Mac was quite tasty and although they were very cheesy, they were also well seasoned. I could taste the garlic and you can see the herbs they use for the macaroni. The greens were slippery and seasoned well. I added hot sauce nonetheless. The platter is enough to me to eat for dinner and lunch or to share

I made a reservation to be on the safe side, so we were able to be checked in and seated within a few minutes of us getting there. It was a vibe in there and made me feel like I was back at some of the brunch parties I went to in Jersey with my friends with the dj playing a great mix of songs (r&b, hip hop, house music). Our waitress came over pretty quickly to check in with us and give us the rundown on the bottomless food process. She was just great overall, being pretty attentive but giving us time to enjoy the food vibe, making sure our food was brought to us and we had everything we need; very good service from her. Now the most important part... The food was delicious! And the perfect portion sizes so that we actually were able to sample a bunch of items since it was unlimited orders of the food during our dining time (2 hours max). For $55 per person, it was well worth it! We both enjoyed pretty much everything lol, but some perosnal favorites were the Fried Devil Eggs, Catfish and Grits, Oysters Rockefeller and the lemon pepper flavored Creole Wings. Everything was good though. Definitely a place to check out if you are living and passing through the area. Loved it and would go back if I lived there.

This was my first visit to this restaurant, and unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. I…read morehad an early-afternoon reservation, but because it overlapped with brunch hours, the reservation was canceled. I was not notified in advance and only learned about the cancellation when I arrived, which resulted in an additional wait until brunch service ended. There also appeared to be some confusion among the staff about who would be serving our table. In addition, it took three requests to receive a strawberry lemonade; regular lemonade was brought out the first two times. Started with the fried shrimp deviled eggs, which were dry and lacked flavor. For my entrée, I ordered the fried pork chops with macaroni and cheese and sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes were served with marshmallows, which was not noted on the menu. Had this been disclosed, I would have requested that they be omitted. The sweet potatoes also needed more seasoning, and the macaroni and cheese was only average. The fried pork chops were overly breaded, which overshadowed the flavor of the pork itself. While I may consider giving the restaurant another opportunity, I would likely choose a different location.
