The BEST soul food so far since visiting Louisiana. Miss Denita seasoned EVERYTHING to perfection. You know the food is good if you can smell it before going inside!!! Lawd Jesus

The staff was super nice and the soul food was fit for a "Sunday meal" after church! Her plates comes doubled with food to make sure you get your money's worth plus some! 😋 You will NOT be hungry after eating one of her meals! 🙃🙃

It's not the first soul food kitchen I've been to, but it is the best I've been to so far. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The food came out quick, hot, & delicious. I had the fried pork chop, cabbage, yams, and red beans & rice. The meal came with sweet tea and a side of cornbread for just under 20 bucks. Pork Chop was thick cut and fried perfectly. All the sides were straight FIYA. Sweet tea had the strong flavor of the betes, so of course, it was sweet and good to the last drop. Not located in the best part of town, but it is convenient to get to, and they've been open 25 years, so their obviously doing it up right. Small seating area, so it's probably best to order and pick up. Give it a shot, and you won't be disappointed.

First time visiting so I ordered a few things to try. The environment was welcoming and very comfortable, almost like it was already familiar and the staff was sweet and delightful. The meatloaf sandwich was simplistic yet just right. It was very delicious and well made. My first time having pig tail and I must say it reminded me of ham hock but different. Very tender and flavorful. It was a perfect match with the red beans and rice. It seemed slightly sweet but it had an amazing texture and overall flavor. The cornbread was just right with the meal as well. The fried fish was seasoned and fried to perfection, I love me some fried catfish. The spaghetti and cheese was amazing, a nice take on Mac and cheese. I loved the cabbage and would have like a little more of it. The pork chop was perf

Dorthy's SoulFood Kitchen This was my first visit, but it definitely won’t be my last! The food was absolutely delicious—hot, fresh, and made to order. Yes, there’s about a 20-minute wait, but it’s well worth every minute. You can truly taste the love and care in every bite. Highly recommended!!!!
