Best soul food vegan yet

This is the best vegan soul food I’ve tried. 100% vegan with all the remembered flavors of a traditional &@$* and three sides dining.

Pros: 100% vegan, Perfect options for different portion sizes

Cons: Slightly pricey.

Fantastic, fully vegan soul food

Absolutely love this place! The establishment is 100% vegan and has a rotating menu every day of the week. I have yet to try something I haven't liked here. The staff are very friendly, prices are reasonable, and the food is of course amazing. It is so rare to be able to find classic New Orleans soul food options like jambalaya, gumbo, mac and cheese, etc. made fully vegan so this place is a real gem and I hope it remains open for a long time.

Only real downside is that the location is a bit inconvenient if you're a tourist and don't have a car (it's not really close to any touristy neighborhoods/attractions) and the dining area is a bit small (although with covid happening I am not sure if you can eat inside anyway now). However, I am happy that vegan options are expanding to different parts of the city! In my opinion it is well worth the trip even if it's a little out of the way- you won't find food like this anywhere else and it is sure to please even the most skeptical meat-eaters in your party.

Excellent

I can not put into words how delicious the food is here. Go. If you don’t, you’re definitely missing out. So far (and I will be back to try other options) I tried the mac and cheese, okra, collard greens, stuffed bell pepper and the cornbread and recommend them all. My personal favorites so far were the collard greens (they burst with flavor and are so perfect), okra, and cornbread... it’s all so good. I never do this, but I ate past being painfully full and still wanted more.

Amazing food and service

The rotating menu is always delicious and everyone who works there is friendly. We had them cater a large party of mostly non-vegetarians and everyone loved the food. Don’t miss out if you’re visiting town.

Pros: All vegan, Delicious, real soul food, Friendly service

Cons: Wish it was open 24 hours, Wish it was in Massachusetts too

What a Gem!

Our Uber driver recommended it. She insisted that we go & wouldn’t regret it. My carnivore husband & I order the 4-item plates. We got totally different items. Seasoned greens, cauliflower, mushrooms, bread pudding, sweet potato, mac& cheeze, jambalaya, & northern beans. All delicious generous portions. Lovely setting - - open clean. Polite staff. Friendly owner. Great Service! Please franchise this restaurant.

EVERYTHING I EVER WANTED

Being vegan in NOLA can sometimes feel like you're missing out on the food (heart and soul) of the city. This place offered mac, jambalaya, fried shrooms, yams, jerk cauliflower and much more. You can choose up to 4 things per box and they stuff it full! It was extremely good and we swaddled out after. The menu changes daily but can be found on the web.

Pros: Delicious , Massive portions, great value

We ate everything

We took the Trolly from downtown then walked a mile to get here. It is definitely a destination restaurant but worth the adventure. We ordered 4 of the 4 item containers then found a table and ate family style. I’m not sure if people eat here more because it’s vegan or because it’s so yummy. If you are in new Orleans and you do or don’t eat meat, you should eat here. It’s like Thanksgiving, it’s always about the sides because the Turkey is always gross.

SO GOOD!!!

If you are a vegan visiting nola, waste no time anywhere else! HONESTLY!! Everywhere else I ate was just okay in comparison. Next time I'm just gonna keep eating here every day I'm in nola!!! I went here on a Monday and had the fried cauliflower which no joke tasted exactly like fried chicken, the immaculate sweet potatoes and incredible mac and cheese. The portion sizes are huge and I had leftovers to bring back for dinner. I would go back JUST to eat here again!

Pros: everything

A little bite of this...

I really enjoy the buffet line style options. I got some things and my husband got others, so we got to eat many options that day. All delicious.

Pros: So many options.

Eat your heart out

You go down the line picking up to four of your favorite items. There are about 20 options (so hard to choose) of hearty soul food and a create your own salad option.

Pros: All of the soul food under the sun

LORDT!!

I travel ALOT, but this is by far the best vegan food I have ever had. The staff is super nice. Ask them for their recommendations, but you won’t be disappointed.

Sooo perfectly good!!!

I just want to buy it all! Whenever I’m in NOLA we have to stop by. Today I changed my order 4 times in my head just because I was listening to the line of people order ahead of me. I finally decided on the cauliflower, mushrooms, au gratin potatoes, bread pudding, mac n cheese, collards and corn bread. We’ll be good for dinner tonight and lunch tomorrow. It’s so good y’all!!

Pros: everything!

Cons: none at all!

Fresh and full of flavor

Was so impressed with how good everything was. The Mac and cheese and stuffed potatos were amazing. Cauliflower and fried mushrooms were good. Pretty cheap prices for the amount of food you're getting.

Pros: Inexpensive, Different options every day of the week

I’m blown away

All of my experience with Soulfood is from the Midwest, so I’ve not been very impressed. This restaurant made me understand it. This is some of the best vegan food I’ve had in a long time.

Pros: Rotating menu, Quick service, Big portions

I was beyond full from this place. My boyfriend recommends the saucy cauliflower wings and I recommend the red beans and rice. So affordable compared to california food and from the French market prices
