This place was amazing. Im a sucker for a good meatball stew and this one is as good as Dwight's and that's saying something. The slap ya momma and Louisiana hot sauce on the tables was a good sign too. Can't wait to try other things here. read more

Visited Soul Haus last weekend and they were unfortunately out of everything that I wanted to try--there was no cornbread, no collard greens, and no green beans. That said, the service was friendly and fast and the interior was clean and well-lit. I ordered the oxtails but they were a bit plain and unremarkable, covered in brown gravy (not bad) and swimming in plain white rice. I also ordered the mac-and-cheese and potato salad as my sides. The cheesy sauce covering the macaroni was a bit watery, but the potato salad had a strong mustard flavor that paired well with the meats. My husband ordered the crawfish etoufee, with fried catfish and rice dressing. He wasn't super impressed with the catfish but the rice dressing and creamy etoufee was hot and well-seasoned. Overall, I would not personally recommend Soul Haus to anyone as it reminded me of a kid's school lunch. However, if you really like plate dinners or seafood, you may enjoy some of their menu items. Even I still wonder if their cornbread tastes any good.... read more

So... being from Hawaii, I grew up with a fond memory of devouring oxtails. As we were on the road, I put soul food and oxtails in the search bar and wah lah!!! Hit the jackpot! Knowing from past experiences when places have oxtails, they sell out quickly. So I called & asked if they had oxtails & was thrilled they had it. First of all, the staff was so friendly & welcoming. The braised oxtails came with two sides. I chose potato salad & red beans & rice. Your choice of corn bread or roll. While we were waiting with anticipation, the cute lil diner was adorned with Christmas decor. Typically when we order at a counter, they call your name or number, and you come up to the front to pick up your order. But... here at Soul Haus, they cheerfully bring your order to you. They ask you if you need anything else. My husband requested extra tartar sauce because it's so tasty. The braised oxtails was what I expected & even better. Tender, juicy, succulent, great flavor. The catfish was tender, not oily, great lil crunch to it. Hubby made a comment that they even have a drive through if you need it to geaux. Great experience & we even tipped them. Words from the terminator, "I'll be back!" read more

First time trying the Soul Haus, and was very impressed. Excellent customer service. There's a daily special which is good value and really like the flavors. The.bbq chicken was very tender and the sauce enhanced, the bbq ribs was fall of the bone, would have liked a little smoke or grill char but was still very good, the sides beans and rice nicely done, and the Mac and cheese was creamy, but the star was the dirty rice which comes with the order, this was delicious you can tell care was put into this. Do sit down and dine in, as it clean and inviting. Will definitely be back. read more

Delicious boiled jumbo shrimp! One pound was 12.99. You could choose level of spicy. Medium has quite a kick. Highly recommend! My friend got smothered pork chops in a gravy. Loved it. Old time sides like collard greens, corn on the cob, smothered cabbage.. read more

Soul Haus Kitchen in Lafayette is one of my go-to spots. Their smothered chicken paired with green beans and corn is hands down one of my favorite meals--seasoned just right and full of flavor. Honestly, almost everything on the menu is good. I was really disappointed when they closed the location in Carencro since it was closer to work, but I still make the drive because it's worth it. Great food, great people--definitely recommend. read more

After some procrastinating on my part. I finally decided to give this place a try. I ordered the Crawfish Etouffee with white rice and potatoes salad (it had small chunks of potatoes, not a fan of that) and green beans. The green beans and the catfish were the best part of the meal. The Etouffee lacked that true Creole Crawfish Etouffee flavor and color. It was just bland with no flavor whatsoever. The rice was a little sticky but edible. The service was great and price was okay. read more

Great food and service, the highlight of my trip. I highly recommend. The server's recommendations were on point and very delicious.

I just had the smothered chicken lunch special for the first time and it was great! They provide generous portions and I'll easily be able to make 2 meals out of this. The chicken had really good flavor and was falling off the bone. The rice was cooked perfectly and they had a great balance of rice to gravy. The mac n cheese & green bean sides were average but the corn bread was very tasty. All that for under $15. I'm very happy I tried this place today and will definitely be going back to see what else I've been missing out on. Additional details about the restaurant - There is ample parking in that shopping center. The restaurant was very clean and the workers were prompt and friendly. They have contactless payment for those who use Apple wallet. I was in and out in less than 5 minutes with a quality meal. Great for a short lunch break! Ditch traditional fast food and support local businesses like this to get real bang for your buck. read more

Soul Haus Kitchen - Smothered Chicken Wednesday Special - Soul Food Near Me - Lafayette, Louisiana

Pretty darn yummy. *but about 15-20% overpriced* We had: Yakamein - pretty good, rich, hot broth, needs spice. BBQ Chicken - fall off the damn bone! Meatball Stew - yeah, ok. Needs some spice. Mac and Cheese - solid Dirty Rice - best thing on the plate! But... They were out of everything green! Collards / Green Beans / Coleslaw... You can't eat soul food (and do a full review) without something green! Come on now... I'll go back... but I'll call ahead and check on them greens first read more

Great food and service! A treat, for sure! The meatball stew was amazing and so was the red beans and sausage with rice. The Mac and cheese was on point too. read more

The service was good. The cashiers that helped me and my friend were very informative when we asked what each items consisted and contained. They also allowed my friend to exchange her seafood (she got boiled shrimp with sides which wasn't good) for another menu option. Now to the food. The potato salad was good- just plain old potato salad. The mash potatoes kinda gave insta mash potatoes but was smooth and good. The meatballs and gravy was not is though. Something felt off about the gravy after a couple bites. It seemed like I was eating more roux than gravy. The meatballs weren't fully cooked when I cut them open. I've never had a tender meatball so that threw me off. The restaurant had a beauty atmosphere and a fun, cute wall you could take picture at.

I call to place an order once I arrived the person that assisted me was Joedessa she was "EXTREMELY RUDE" I don't understand why she is employed with Soul Haus. I requested to speak to a manager I was informed the manager wasn't in at that time. I have decided since she refused to provide the manager's name I felt it was appropriate to voice my complaint online. She doesn't represent the core value of Soul Haus. She was busy fraternizing and flirting with a customer that arrived to pick up his food. This staff member doesn't deserve to represent Soul Haus in "ANY CAPACITY". read more

My brother and I went there several times on a visit back to Lafayette. I thought the food was absolutely amazing. Just like my maw-maw's home cooking. I had the smother chicken and pork chops.

Soul Haus Kitchen - Red beans/ rice, smothered chicken meals. - Soul Food Near Me - Lafayette, Louisiana

Gave this place a second chance yesterday. Very disappointed again. When they first opened I tried the Red Beans and Rice. For Louisiana the red beans and rice was trash. Yesterday the cashier recommended the Beef or Shrimp Yakamein. For a $1.50 you can get both. For $14 there the bowl was small and had hardly any food in it. It was filled with beef broth that wasn't good. We shouldn't have to leave any restaurant and have to go somewhere else to grab a bite to eat. Never again!! I can't wait till this place shut its doors for good. read more

Went back for the beef yakemin soup...very good....service improved as well. Only have the soup on Monday, Friday and Saturday..

Arguably the best soul food in Lafayette, LA. The service was great, friendly and informative staff. I had the meatball stew with green beans and bbq beans-- easily one of my favorites here. **CORNBREAD was amazing!** Also had their crawfish, great size and the flavor was spot on to a tradition Cajun flavor. Will be back again! read more

Tasty vegetables were my favorite. The service was great. Now the ambiance was just ok

I was in Lafayette for the day. Been hearing a lot about this place. Decided to check out this spot for lunch. Tried the Thursday Special: the Soulfiya Platter Combo. The shrimp and catfish were cooked to perfection. Staff was friendly and personable, food was great. I will DEFINITELY be back. read more

Fish was mostly batter. Actual fish was small and rubbery. Not so good. The menu sides listed were not available. Only had a few sides prepared. Not so good for a southern restaurant. read more

Easy parking, clean, and friendly. I had crawfish twice...very large and very inexpensive ($3.99 a pound on special). The food could come out of the kitchen a bit faster, the crawfish dip is a bit too spicy (and costs "extra"), and there is no lemon for the ice tea, but overall I really like the place. Next to Dwight's it's my second choice for crawfish in Lafayette. read more

loveeee this place!!! the food is so good. portions are great and service is always good.

Hit or miss. I like that they do serve hot fresh food. I HATE that my food is melted into the styrofoam plate! Grease all at the bottom like they didn't put it on the rack for it to drain before packing it. Please line that at up! Ox tail is my go to. Sometimes it's good and sometimes it tastes watered down like they tried to make the gravy stretch (goes for most of their lunch plates) . Same goes for their Mac and cheese. The fried chicken and shrimp is well seasoned and crispy. It's a long wait at the drive through. Dined in once. Very clean place. read more

Food was good especially the fried shrimp . I would've loved a grilled option for the shrimp.

I went one time and the customer service was awesome. People were super friendly and funny. Hands down the crispiest fried pork chop, they also have the best collard greens. It's the best I've ever had. Great place, 10/10 would recommend!! read more

My husband and I ate here once and it started a new challenge for us. How many places can we get two meals cheaper and better than here? The main meat was good (catfish and ribs) but the sides were not any better than school cafeteria out of the box type things. Not what we expected for the price. It was $46 for two of us including drinks. There are so many better places to eat in Lafayette. Staff was very friendly though. No problems there. read more
