This food was so good. I got shrimp and grits, fried catfish and grits as well as gumbo. Every dish was so delicious. The service was nice and pretty fast. Great portions and taste like home cooking. I thoroughly enjoyed the food. The restaurant is inside this building that has other restaurants inside and a bar. I forget the name though. Nice concept. The building has open windows all around so you can see the different restaurants inside. I'll be back in this area pretty soon and will definitely come back to enjoy a meal that tastes like good creole home cooking. Pictures do no justice. read more

Creole Soul is definitely a taste of New Orleans right here in Baltimore. You can truly feel the heart and soul in every dish. The Creole salmon and grits topped with shrimp were rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. And the beignets? pillowy, layered and flaky and warm. I kept telling my partner they taste like heaven, I can't put it into better words than that! We also had the fries and their jungle juice, which was bold and unforgettable. It looks like tea but it's all juice! It's clear the love and intention is put into everything coming out of that kitchen--and to top it off, the head chef is so sweet and friendly. You can feel the passion not just in the food, but in the whole experience. It's located inside R house, so the ambience is modern, with a few southern touches behind the counter! If you're craving soulful Southern comfort food with real depth, Creole Soul delivers. Easily one of the best soul food meals I've had in Baltimore so far. read more

A throwback to New Orleans with the frozen Hurricanes. We did have to ask to order drinks getting our appetizer order in before. The Executive Chef coming out to thank us for visiting was a nice touch. The appetizers were great. The seafood dip had chunks of shrimp which I couldn't stop eating. The ate all of the wings. I was full by the time dinner came. The Bourbon Salmon was blackened with shrimp and creole sauce. The Seafood Gumbo had a nice roux and the right amount of spiciness. It seemed like we had a newer waiter. Small details like keeping the water filled and asking if we wanted another drink or dessert kept me from rating higher. Everyone was very nice which made for a nice visit. read more

The food was outstanding. I got fried catfish and fried shrimp. They call a bowl and crinkle fries. The fried shrimp and fried catfish not only or clean and not greasy, but we're soft and succulent, like fresh fish, and fresh seafood. The crinkle fries were moist and soft on the inside and crispy on the outside and not greasy In some small ways that Customer Service could need a little bit of polish, but nothing that can't be done by practice Still, the gentleman who served me was warm and friendly and really cared about my well-being and whether I was happy with food read more

The pictures on DoorDash was misleading. The peach cobbler is presentable on line, but in person it looks and tastes disgusting. I also ordered the jambalaya and it was disappointing. Last year I had tried the gumbo and it was an expensive disappointment. For their prices I will no longer be patronizing this restaurant. The food isn't good. Like, at all. read more

The food is delicious !!! My favorite is the shrimp and grits. I celebrated my 60th birthday at RHouse because I enjoy eating at the Creole Soul Restaurant and the service is amazing!!! The owners are kind and friendly. So take a trip to the Creole Soul Restaurant at RHouse and I guarantee you will return. read more

Visited second time. I was excited to see the traffic picked up for this local restaurant. The taste of the appetizer and entree was amazing. Our server/ bartender was very friendly. Things they can improve on: operations. They took our appetizer to the wrong table. Then immediately brought out one persons entree. He was half way through his entree before our server noticed I didn't receive mine and went to check on it. It was sitting in the back for a while. We noticed they did the same at other tables as well. If they can improve on their operations, I know they will be an amazing place to visit. We will return again. read more

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. I came all the way from CT to try this spot. I was met with straight faces and terse language. The establishment had very people dining at the time. There was a 20 minute wait just to order food. When I was finally able to order the lady at the register asked me to step closer, she then said that I was too close and asked me to step back. It came off very rude especially when from the beginning I was already at an arms length distance. I paid in cash & didn't get my full change because they had no coins. The lady took my name and number and told me I would get a text when my food was ready. I waited in my car for 45 min and NEVER received a text. Finally I just went inside and grabbed my food. The food was decent I won't lie but I doubt I would comeback. read more

Stumbled upon this place while I visiting another establishment inside of this food hall. I was greeted by one of the men up front as this place looked like food I'd like. I originally ordered the Beignets as I only wanted dessert but changed my mind once I saw the rest of the menu. I ended up grabbing the red velvet skillet cornbread, regular cornbread and Lobster Mac & Cheese. The Beignets were good and warm. The cornbread could have been better. The regular cornbread isn't warmed up like the red velvet skillet cornbread. Both seemed to taste more like cake than cornbread but were ok. The Lobster Mac & Cheese was slide for the price. Nothing mind blowing but good. A nice portion of fried lobster is placed on top of the mac & cheese. Overall it's a cool spot. Prices are solid and the customer service is ok. If I'm in the neighborhood I'd stop by. read more

The service was wonderful. Cory our waiter was extremely attentive and very patient with the questions my 7 year old niece asked. My entree was the baked seafood Mac and it was delicious. I'd definitely come back for that. We also had the Georgia peach tea which was extremely good. read more

Service good. Prices high. the jerk salmon ugly to look at, just too hot too really taste. Seasoning is jerk but too heavy handed.

Ordered Fried Green Tomatoes and shrimp with grits. Positives: the food was genuinely delicious. Negatives: after 12 minutes, got a notification that the order was ready. Waited for 8 minutes to actually talk to the person up front and I was asked what I ordered. 5 minutes later, I watched part of my order assembled and then drop the fried green tomatoes in the fryer. 25 minutes after my notification, I finally got my food. In the meantime, someone else in my party ordered and got their food in less than 5 minutes, while I was still waiting. Conclusion: good food, but I won't be a repeat customer. read more

Creole Soul Restaurant offered a great dining experience with flavorful dishes and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff was very knowledgeable about the menu and took the time to help me choose options that fit my daughter food allergies, which I really appreciated. You can tell they care about their customers and know their food well. Everything was seasoned perfectly and served fresh. The only reason it's not a full five stars is that service was a little slow with no explanation, but overall, I was very impressed and would definitely return! read more

Yelp fam!!! I'm a big sandwich fan, PoBoys hold. Special place in my heart! That being said the PoBoys at Creole Soul were like that! When I initially walked up to the location to check out the menu I noticed a grandma in the back cooking/prepping food. That's all I needed to see. I ordered (She tired of little money need a) Big Boy - shrimp & lobster PoBoy - L,T,P & sauce comes with fries- this thing was fresh and Slapped!!! Solid crinkle fries with old bay! They had nana's banana pudding, had to try it. This is by far one of the best Banana puddings I've eaten! You can taste the love it was made with in every bite! Muddy creek water- 1/2 & 1/2 - great way to wash it all down. Sweet and familiar This spot is located inside of R house. The ambiance there is similar to Mt Vernon Marketplace. The service was great, very nice and attentive. read more

Creole Soul is located in R House. It was nice having a soul food option in the food court. We were there on a Friday night. It was a nice crowd but it wasnt packed. I had the fried catfish and grits. It took about 30 minutes to be ready. The catfish was okay but the grits stole the show. The grits are a buttery savory compliment to the fish. I believe the cashier was new. He seemed a little overwhelmed, but i think with practice he'll get it. read more

Shrimp and grits and cornbread were fantastic. Would've liked it more as a stand alone place but still great.

I had the seafood basket. The catfish was fried and lightly seasoned, however the 5 pieces of shrimp and mini lobster tail was over cooked and fried too hard. So hard that I wasn't able to taste the lobster and shrimp. They both just tasted like the fries that came with basket. read more

While in Remington for something else, I decided to stop by R.House. After looking over all the stalls and options, I decided to go with Creole Soul. I ordered the Shrimp Po Boy which came with a side of fries. I also got some peach cobbler. I ended up getting my food to go. One thing I found a little weird was that I got two different types of fries. Some were straight and others were crinkly cut. I'm not sure if this was done intentionally or if they ran out of one, used another, and just threw them together. The fries weren't anything spectacular anyway. However, the star of the show was the po boy. It consisted of huge, crispy shrimp on a soft roll with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and some sort of sauce (remoulade?). The peach cobbler was just ok to me. Honestly, I could do that po boy again and wouldn't miss the fries at all. I've been to Creole Soul on another occasion but for the life of me, I can't remember what I ordered. I know I got mac and cheese and I really enjoyed it. Overall, I give Creole Soul 3.5 stars. read more

I used to frequent this spot all the time! I even would see the owner and connect with her because she is so warm and seemed passionate about her business and roots. The food was good and palatable. For a while they went through lots of staffing changes so I gave them grace when it was hit or miss but it's been nothing but misses. My honey grabbed me some food and the shrimp po boy was flavorless, not crispy, not saucy, and the bread was soggy!!! I couldn't eat it. He even mentioned the lady who rang him up had bad vibes and nasty energy. The fries were not good and seasoned and overall I was left so disappointed. I try to give grace but with the prices they have I would really hope they do some serious changing if want to keep foot traffic and a good reputation. read more

I don't eat seafood so my options here are limited. I usually just stop by for the macaroni and cheese but on this particular visit, I decided to try the northern beans and rice too. I enjoyed the macaroni and cheese, as usual, and I just added hot sauce. I tend to add hot sauce to most things. The northern beans and rice weren't exactly what I expected but they were fine. I added a little more seasoning when I got home and they were perfect the next day. They reheated well and were the perfect after church meal. The service here is always nice. I've always encountered courteous staff and I've never had to wait very long for my food. They don't have much control over the ambiance. Depending on the day of the week or even time of day, R. House can be quiet or noisy. It's a food hall with a bar so don't go on a Friday or Saturday night if you're looking for an intimate setting. We went on Saturday and it was hard to find a table and there were kids running around. I've gone during the week before and had quite the opposite experience. Just be mindful of where you are and what you're looking for. read more

The food here was okay when I came here a while back. I got a Mo'Boy Po Boy for $24 that was soggy and with too much sauce. It did have catfish and shrimp but because it was soggy, it ruined the flavor. I also got the red velvet cornbread, which seemed so interesting! for $5.50. It was a big portion of cornbread, but it was dry. My cousin got fish with grits and it had too much oil. A plus is that it is black owned and they do soul food and seafood. They just seem to struggle with consistency. R house is a nice place overall so you won't have a problem with that. Service was fine. Overall it was disappointing and I don't think I would go back or recommend. read more

It's worth giving a try! This place is located in R House and I had a taste for something but didn't know what and decided to try out Creole Soul. So I wanted disappointed but I also wasn't wowed either. I ordered the Shrimp Po Boy with fries and a side of Mac and cheese. The sandwich is assembled to order so you will have a wait a little for your shrimp and fries to be cooked. Which was not a problem at all for me. What was a problem was all that sauce they put on my sandwich. It was my first time trying it so I got the sandwich as is but if I were to get it again I'd probably get the sauce on the side or ask for minimal. The shrimp was seasoned and fried crispy. Overall the sandwich was good and fills you up without the fries. The fries were the standard crinkle cut with old bay and they were fried just right. Can't go wrong there! Now the Mac and cheese was just okay for me. Very oily and it also had a little kick. Just a tad but not too much which I also didn't mind. I think it is a 5 cheese Mac but I didn't taste any sharp cheddar which is what my tastebuds look for. It's definitely decent though and would suggest others try it out for themselves. What I should of got was some beignets!! I wonder if they are made to order as well. I'll be back to try them out especially because the pic I saw made them look worth trying!! read more

I got the shrimp Poboy. It wasn't all that special, and half of the filling was lettuce! Nooooo, can someone from New Orleans tell me if that is legit and supposed to be in a Poboy? Lettuce in a sandwich is the bane of my existence! Don't fill things up with lettuce just because you wanna go cheap. But the shrimp was pretty good and the fries were good too. The service was very friendly as well. read more

Service was immaculate, Lady was very friendly and helpful as this was my first time here at The R House. (Which the ambiance was amazing) On to the food, soul food is one of my soft spots and the presentation was beautiful. One thing that was missing was a heat factor. Everyone's heat threshold is different and the variety of people that come through you would expect a heat scal with southern food. Anyways I would come back again and try other options. This time I got the shrimp and grits, which was everything you would expect from it. The shrimp was pretty big and the portion sizes were decent for the price. My girlfriend also got the gumbo, which again we like my gumbo with a little heat (personal preference) But overall great place. Second experience terrible. Makes me not want to ever go again.... Maybe it was an off day but literally just threw everything in a bowl. You have to tell them whether you want it mixed or not? Never heard of that, and I don't know how I would know that, IF it was my first time. This really lowered my expectations for this place, might go again might not depends on who's working. read more

Good place to go for taste of New Orleans. Can be a bit pricey ($24 for a po'boy sandwich and $18 for gumbo) . But the great northern beans I had were very well cooked . Lot of flavor and a little bit of meat. It was in the R house food court which can be noisy. But the foods there are good. read more

This is one of them moments where I realize some people just don't put love into there food. This gumbo was a 6/10, flavor was not there at all, I didn't get any crab in mines the shrimp were okay, I had to pick out a lot of shrimp tails. I Got my food at 6pm definitely shouldn't be feeling like I'm eating Bottom of the pan gumbo. It just seemed rushed. Not worth $22 dollars in my opinion. Definitely won't be eating from here again. read more

This is a fantastic Black-owned restaurant in R House specializing in--you guessed it--Creole inspired dishes. My guest and I were first timers and the employees were extremely patient and even let us sample a couple of items we were considering. We ultimately went with the seafood gumbo and the shrimp and grits. It took about 20 minutes for the food to come out--they send texts when the orders are complete. The grits were the star of the show. Make no mistake: the gumbo was tasty but the shrimp and grits made us both say, "Oh my God." Plus I thought the gumbo would include crab meat but instead it was a quarter of a crab that you'd have to crack after pulling it from gumbo--a significant flaw in my book. However, that would not stop me from highly recommending Creole Soul. read more

Creole Soul is located inside of R House. The staff was friendly and ye seating is open. It's in an environment where you can try multiple varieties of food in one location. I tried the shrimp po boy. I think if they used smaller shrimp and gave you more it be more filling. Just a little too much bread with about 4 maybe 5 jumbo shrimp. The beignets had a slight crisp to them which was great. It is definitely a little pricey, so be prepared to spend at least $25. read more
