The first time I ate at this location I only ordered only sides. The sides were yams, Mac & cheese and greens. The greens were bland, with no meat in them. Because my first experience wasn't too bad and I only had sides I decided to go back recently and try some more items. This time I ordered fried fish, yams, Mac & cheese, dressing with gravy and cornbread. I also got a lemon cake for dessert. I did not enjoy my food this time around it was not as constant as the first time I tried it. The location is an order and go restaurant so you do not dine in.There is a pretty big menu to choose from. The location was clean and a little hot so I recommend waiting for your order in the car. Good customer service. read more

I came in from out of town and was looking for some good soul food. I was recommended this location. Before we get into the food here are some things to know. There is plenty of parking The restaurant is a small space. This is not a dine in restaurant, you will order your food and take it out. I would suggest after ordering your food to wait in the car. There is plenty of variety on the menu. In my opinion the food is pricey and not worth it. I ordered the fried catfish with yams and mac & cheese. The fish was ok but was not very flavorful, the yams tasted canned and the mac&cheese was off i didn't enjoy the taste and the cheese was falling off the noodles. My daughter ordered the beef tips which she did not enjoy. And the fried okra tasted steamed rather than fried. The cornbread was good but it was not homemade. Also after tasting the lemon cake I discovered it was also store bought. The customer service was good, the lady taking orders was really sweet. read more

There food is so good. The dressing is amazing, some of the best soul food I've had in a long time.

Love the energy that the workers give Off !!!! and the food is fabulously mouth watering (love the yams) I will be coming here often

Tried calling ahead to know what the lunch special prices were. Got put on hold. Called back the person who answered answered $10. So go pick up the baked chicken with 2 sides. I requested (breast and leg) one dark piece and one white just as the menu says. I received two small pieces one leg one thigh. Very dry and did I mention small. Sides were green beans and red beans and rice. They were ok nothing to write home about. Overall I was not impressed and still hungry as the portions are small. I will not be in a hurry to return. read more

If you looking for some good old fashion mamas thanksgiving food this is your spot. Black

It's centered right in the hood. Food is good but kind of expensive. But overall good homemade food.

Horrible customer service, girl at the counter was very rude! Came going back and forward about how long I had to wait, I asked for the manager number or contact information and she refused to give me any information, I was purchasing for the nursing staff, never again. read more

Pretty good food, but my problem with this establishment is that they never answer the phone so you can make a carry out order, I called them 3 times and got absolutely no answer and I live right around the corner from the restaurant and was surprised to see that they were indeed open when I passed by, often times I can't go in and order for I have to be at work, but it's disappointing to see that they are just ignoring people who are trying to call in and make a order. read more

Excellent food! You should definitely try it! We spent awhile looking for a place to go finally decided on this one. It was worth it. We are so full! read more

I use to go here often. I mean my go-to, then their quality of food gotten worse and the portions a little smaller. The yams thick and hard now, the catfish isn't cooked well enough and it's always small pieces. You would get more of your money's worth at Urban Soul Food. read more

They ran out of Mac n Chz & pork chops. Besides the hair, the food was tasty. I didn't see it until after I ate my entree. * Note to owner.... Fake lashes should be prohibited. Didn't notice anyone wearing hairnets or gloves. read more

Nasty poor service!! Chicken still have hair on Mac & cheese is put together!! Yams are ok but I need good meat & they alway out of shit like yo wtf son Idk about eating here again try at your own risk but u been warned read more

As a white boy, this food was goodas shit! I am not sure what everyone else is talking about rudeness. They were fine with me. They are busy so if ya go in there being indecisive, then shit, I may get a little testy too. The chicken what very good. Moist, tender and lots of flavor(but not overwhelming). the mac has some sharpness to the cheddar if you are more into creamy goo mac then pass on it. i like the sharpness tho. The sweet potatoes where on par. Not over cooked with a little bit of sweetness added. read more

Lape Soulfood - Great food! - Soul Food Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

I love this restaurant as well as the owner and workers. It's prices are very reasonable the food is excellent. read more

Warren location on 12 mile at Mound. As of this review, they have been open about a month. A great fast stop for a soul food dinner. We have had smothered and fried pork chops, baked chicken, catfish, ox tails, and meat loaf for either lunch or dinner for our family. There are other items as well. Ever once in a while there is a litttle saltyness in an item but for the affordable price you can't beat it. A lot of side options as well. Beware some items are fried to order for a short wait but non-fried food is ready to go. At minimum, a change from the typical options. read more

I give them five stars because the food was delicious read more

This is the most average soul food I've ever had! Worse than Motor City & they are pretty bad! Do not...I repeat...DO NOT order their mac-n-cheese! It's literally macaroni noodles with cheese on top. I've given them 3 chances. It won't happen again! read more

Lape Soulfood - Worst macaroni ever!!! Don't do it! - Soul Food Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

I called in orders on 1/11/17 for my co-workers and myself. The young lady that I spoke with was very polite. Upon entering the restaurant I noticed it was very clean. Not only did the meals look good but we all thought it tasted great! Kudos to the Cook!!!!! We will definitely return. read more

I love the food here I truly do but listen y'all, the Mac N' Cheese is terrible . It truly is awful. It tastes like noodles and water and when I get my good friend chicken, pork chop, rib tips or whatever other kind of delicious meat from you guys I need great sides to pair it with. Your dressing is amazing and so are your yams but come on man, MAC N Cheese is a staple dish. And yours is so bad that it makes people not even want to visit anymore because we all know that the MAC IS WHACK!!!! I KNOW you can do better than this chef. Get it together and I'll give you 5 stars because the food IS good, made with love and your cooking, Prep and display area IS CLEAN! read more

Servers attitude was horrible even after I told them it was my first time there. Never again and I only gave 2 stars due to the dressing being good. read more
