Taste Buds Food was a great experience from start to finish! The service was amazing--friendly, attentive, and welcoming the entire time. I ordered the crab boil, and what really stood out was that it came with a white sauce. It was definitely a different twist from the traditional boil, but it added a unique flavor that worked surprisingly well and gave the dish its own special flair. The food was flavorful, the portions were satisfying, and the overall experience was excellent. If you're looking for good soul food with a creative touch and outstanding customer service, Taste Buds Food is worth a visit. I'll definitely be back! read more

I really wanted to enjoy my meal from Taste Budz, especially after spending $90 on two dinners, but unfortunately I was disappointed. The collard greens were not tender and really lacked flavor. The yams were way too sweet for my taste. The oxtails were not tender at all, which was the biggest disappointment. The gravy, however, was really good. For $90, I expected the food to be much better. Hopefully this was just an off day because I definitely wanted to support a local spot, but based on this experience, I wouldn't order these dishes again. read more

Had the Shrimp Cajun Alfredo Penne and the Jerk Chicken and Shrimp plate. The food was incredible, especially the pasta sauce. The only issue is the Jerk plate didnt have the Shrimp. I called twice and left a VM once I got home and realized but have never received a call back. Additionally the sauce from the pasta ended up everywhere in the bag. All that being said the pasta was good enough that ill be back. I'll just be sure to open each item next time instead of doing a once over to make sure that what I paid for is actually in the bag. read more

The flavor of the jerked steak and shrimp, oxtails hits like a punch in the face - delicious, spicy enough to be enjoyable through the whole meal! Meat soft tender, oxtail meat falling off the bone!! The mac and cheese needs to be a meal maybe throw in a protein and it'll stand entirely as its own entree. The sweet potatoes - perfectly sweet with that hint of cinnamon and maybe some nutmeg (?) - perfectly delicious! Didn't give it a 5 of 5 because the rice bit undercooked and more on the hard side on my the oxtail dish - steak dish perfect, oxtail dish hard rice so some inconsistency. Service was friendly and courteous albeit errors with orders but probably because their demand is so high online orders coming through quickly and A LOT! Ambiance large interior, clean, relaxing. End of the day - it's worth the wait, worth the drive and a Las Vegas GEM! read more

Food was fine, had the jerk chicken and shrimp and oxtail. Nothing to right home about and definitely overpriced in my opinion. I was finessed on my 40 dollar oxtail plate, I got 3 oxtail which had very little meat on them. the flavor on the oxtail was good, but I was definitely robbed paying 40 and getting 3 damn bones. read more

The food was not good. - the jerk salmon was overcooked - the $20 added lobster tail was well seasoned and overcooked - the cornbread was good - yams were ok - the white rice was unevenly cooked...some pieces hard and some soft - the Mac & cheese had clumps of unmixed in cheese...I had better mac&cheese from a place in Kanab, Utah which was surprising. The service was regular. One person called me to collect the food before I paid. Then I had to go back to the register to pay. The register girl was trying to figure out what buttons to hit. Overall wasn't worth the $100 or the calories read more

First time here and it didn't disappoint. Food was fire, oxtails were tender mac and cheese was good also the greens and red beans and rice. The young lady taking my order was very helpful in having me pick my meal and giving me details to help me with my order. I really appreciated that. The decor in the restaurant was so cool I loved it. The TV's all over. And looked like I saw a stage for performing. I will for be back. read more

I came here after seeing a review on YouTube that they had decent food, we figured since we're in town, and like to support small businesses we would try it out. The food overall was average, (not bad just nothing great enough to warrant another visit), but I couldn't even finish my food because half way through one of workers returned my husbands wallet to him, that he said he found by the front counter, and ALL HIS CASH WAS GONE! $401 was taken out of the wallet before he returned it to us. The restaurant was super slow, there had only been 2 other patrons that came in after us. An old lady that the cashier knew by name and a younger woman. I don't believe either one of them took the cash out and left the wallet on the ground. When we asked the cashier to view the camera footage to see who took the money out, she conveniently couldn't reach her father on the phone, who is the only person that can access it. They took down our number but 3 hours later we haven't heard anything. Not sure how long it takes to get your father on the phone to view camera footage but at this point I have accepted our money is gone. I've given it to God to handle, which ironically they were playing gospel music the whole time we were there. So unfortunate. You try to support small businesses, and this is what happens. I guess honesty is too much to ask for anymore. We won't be back. God bless 'em! read more

Visited for the second time and it did not disappoint. It had been some time since we had visited however, it was just as delicious as we remembered. The portions are huge!!! The service was ok and the location was empty but the food did not disappoint. We shared the loaded baked potato for 2 which came loaded with Cajun Chicken, Shrimp & Crab. It could have easily feed 3 or 4. It was very tasty and filling. read more

SHASTAAAAAA!! Alright imma keep this one short and sweet because you don't need me to review this place to know it's good. Just stand out front and watch all the people leaving with giant bags and plates of food with Huge smiles on their faces like the food is free. But what I will do is tell you what I'm gonna do everyone I'm come here.!! Beef all day!! Any thing beef they have is life changing! And the macaroni is super on point! So order the two meats (beef short rib, or beef,or ox tails)and put that on top of macaroni and order a side of their white sauce!!!! holy Moly!! I call this the Dirty South Shmacker Bowl!!! So happy my family moved to Vegas so that I can enjoy this food over and over and over!!!! We love TasteBudz Creole Kitchen!! read more

Maybe we got the wrong stuff? It was pretty decent. We visited due to a visiting friend who follows Keith Lee. Prepare a wait. And dishes are $25+ and placed in plastic takeout bins. There were many ppl who ordered take out. I'm torn between 3 or 4 star....it's a 3.5 for me. The SO would say 3. Jerk Chicken And Shrimp Meal with Mac, cornbread $25.00 Cajun Chicken Meal with Redbeans and rice, Mac $20.00 Oxtail Plate with Broccoli, and Yams $35.00 Fountain Drink Pepsi $3.50 Fountain Drink Lemon Lime $3.50 My candy yams definitely were super sweet and mushy. The give enough oxtail to make the price worth it. The SO thought it was okay and wouldn't crave this for awhile. Spicy was definitely spicy. Corn bread was a bit dry. Broccoli was a bit mushy. It had cinnamon on top of it. Overall still decent if looking for homey comfort food. But the price is a bit steep for the quality of many ingredients and dishes. read more

Debbie Downer alert! So I ordered the Cajun salmon and shrimp Alfredo and my handsome husband ordered the Cajun chicken Alfredo... 4 bites and we were done. Mine looked good (his chicken looked shredded to the point he asked me what is it? ) The pasta was so overcooked that it had the texture of mashed potatoes. Thoroughly displeased. Ruined dinner for $76. I can say the salmon had good flavor but not good enough to force myself to eat it. Insert several tears here. read more

I am VERY upset! Thought I would try something new from here so I ordered the steak & shrimp. Biggest mistake EVER! The only thing fresh was the shrimp. The steak looked like beef jerky, the "famous" mac was OLD & the yams were OLD! I lost $38! Ordered through DoorDash, sent them photos & they wouldn't refund my money or resend a FRESH order! You guys know you were DEAD wrong for even sending me that CRAP! Wanted to rate 1 star but I learned 2 stars they can't remove. read more

The food is definitely a 10/10 and highly recommended. The oxtails were tender and falling off the bone. Red, beans and rice was were delicious and the cornbread some of the best cornbread I've had. This was the perfect pre EDC meal! They were super nice and gave great service. The ambiance was very laid back with good music playing almost making you feel like you were at a family gathering. Will be going back when I'm back in town! read more

Tastebudz Creole Kitchen - Oxtails, Red beans and rice & Cornbread - Beverage Store Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Tastebudz Creole Kitchen is located in North Las Vegas. They offer mostly Cajun Style Foods. This is a casual type restaurant. You order and pay at the desk by the kitchen. Someone runs out your order when it's ready. Inside is extra large with bright paintings on the walls. I tried the Jerk Salmon Entree with Mac-N-Cheese and Sweet Potatoes. Every item of my entree should have been much better. The sweet potatoes were like canned potatoes that were over cooked and turning to mush. The Macaroni and Cheese might have been good when it was first made but appears to have been re-heated too many times and was breaking down. The salmon was hard to eat because of it texture and was over seasoned to the point that it was boarder-line not edible. It also had some sort of hard residue on it that added to the not edible experience. On my husband's platter the beef was so tough that maybe even an alligator would have trouble chewing it. All the food could have been better. read more

When you enter the restaurant you will be surprised how big it is inside with colorful paintings on the wall. Service: was not bad at all. We waited about 15-20 mins for the food. They had a line when we got there and they just opened around 11am and some people were picking up orders I love the whole concept of this creole restaurant located on the North side of Las Vegas. Definitely deserved a shout out to Che! I would like to go back when they have a DJ or when someone is performing Or if they have an event. Food ordered: Oxtail with macaroni and cheese and greens Chicken and shrimp jerk with sweet yams and cornbread. Everything was good!!! Price: about $75 for those two orders. Worth it! Parking: plenty its next to smart and final Overall, a very good experience! read more

Food was GREAT! The interior is unassuming with a series of tables in a wide open space. The music vibes are great! They were playing a 90s R&B Playlist. Upon entering we were happily greeted and instructed to order at the counter. They informed us that there is no pork on the menu! I ordered the Salmon & Shrimp (Jerk BBQ) meal with cornbread and red beans. Food was amazing, red beans weren't as flavorful as I was expecting, but good nonetheless. I really liked the BBQ Jerk sauce and highly recommend. read more

Food is ok. Customer service? What customer service? I don't think they know what that is. Go somewhere else. They're not the only creole kitchen in the area. The people they hire..... wow. I called to complain because the idiots that took my order didn't write it all the way down. They missed an entire food item worth almost $50 and when I called to complain about it, the girl said I don't know how to help you and hung up on me. Ridiculous. Who raised you? Who raised them? read more

What a great place! It was my family's first time here and we were a bit unsure about the menu, but we were promptly helped and had our questions answered. The restaurant itself is clean and spacious. There are lovely murals on all the walls and the music is definitely a chill vibe! I ordered the ox tail meal. It came with 2 sides, so I ordered yams and Mac n cheese. I also got cornbread to try. I thoroughly enjoyed my food. It was decadent and flavorful. My husband had steak and shrimp with a side of red beans and rice and broccoli. He said he really liked the flavor. And he was satisfied with the portion size. He has a never ending appetite. Haha My daughter got the loaded potato with chicken. We were surprised by the size! It was enormous!! And my 9 year old wants to emphasize that this is her new favorite food. We ended the meal with a banana pudding. It was the perfect end to our dinner. All in all, Tastebudz is a great place to come and eat! Definitely recommend!! read more

A mandatory stop when in Vegas I usually get the jerk chicken and shrimp but I'm glad I got the salmon today! I love how all the meals come with rice to supplement the proteins. The jerk steak and lobster Alfredo was a hit! It's hard to have leftovers when you come to TasteBudz, can't wait to come back already read more

Hyped up on social media for some ight food... The portion sizes were not it AT ALL, total was approximately $78 for 2 small size entrées, 2 cans of soda and a side of yams... Everything was flavorful and seasoned well however, I can't justify anybody come here for the prices vs portion sizes . Also, the lack of customer service was my tipping point between 3 and 2 stars. Had never been here and the employees were no help in figuring out how to order. TikTok let me down in this one... read more

FINALLY after a couple years from watching food reviews to seeing these restaurant pop up on my for you page on instagram, I have made it to try the infamous Tastebudz Creole Kitchen!!!! First, I had call in my order for to-go to eat at the comfort of my own home with my boyfriend for a late dinner tonight as our first time both trying out this restaurant so we were REALLY excited because we've heard so many incredible things! The service was great from the calling over the phone to picking up the food there were NO issues and the food was ready to go when I go there to pick up. I LOVE tbe ambiance very inviting, bright, and supporting black culture! Might I add, it is a black owned local business right here in the city of Las Vegas! My boyfriend had gotten their Jerk Chicken and Shrimp Alfredo, whereas, I got the Cajun Snowcrab Alfredo. We both absolutely LOVED the flavor, taste, and amount was all put into the Alfredo which made it 100/10 on all levels!!! The Mac and Cheese was a powerhouse full of flavor that you couldn't resist and would have you coming back for more & more! I MUST say it is worth every penny you're paying for the amount of food you're receiving. The prices are reasonably priced when you're getting bang for your buck. Tastebudz Creole Kitchen, I see why you continue to receive the recognition and attention that you do which you truly deserve! My boyfriend and I will be coming back and will spread the word to others to come out to try this delicious food for themselves. read more

Let talk! When I first saw this spot on DoorDash I was really hoping for the best. The pictures look great and all! I ordered the chicken Cajun pasta and guess what...THE BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT EVER! The pasta was mushy, the chicken was dry, no flavor at all a lot of grease. I ordered a loaded potato and steak and what I received was boiled eggs, potatoes, and a steak that taste like rubber. My advice if you order from this place you might not get exactly as ordered but this also be due to it being a DoorDash order. read more

The food was really good. I can't lie. It was very flavorful. Those grapes, I almost ate them all by myself. I was surprised at how reasonably priced the plates were with seafood. However, the setup is confusing when you first walk in. I wasn't sure if we needed to wait to be seated, or if we just seat ourselves. Nobody said anything when we walked in, and there wasn't a sign. read more

The only reason I'm not leaving a 5 star review was due to the shrimp being too salty. Having said that, the flavor on everything else was wonderful, texture was perfect, portion size was worth the price. We ordered to go. Great vibe inside.

They have the most amazing food!! My wife and I drive from mountains edge very often. The customer service is outstanding as well!!!

Food is always on point every time we come. I usually get the Jerk chicken plate with greens, yams, and mac & cheese. It's always . You can't go wrong coming here. Great hospitality and the food is always hot and flavorful whenever we pull up! read more

The short of a long story, the food is a 4.5/5 The wait time was much longer than acceptable But the hospitality on the back end was a 4/5 The restaraunt is a nice size and the music is great. The ordering/pickup area is small and can get clustered during a rush but that isn't a huge concern. The staff is nice and who I presume to be the owner or at least a stakeholder was very hospitable. Our group ordered about 6 entrees and a few sides in all. The wait we were quoted was 30min. The actual wait time was about an hour. When I went to the counter, the food was waiting on us. So that led me to believe our name just wasn't called. The chicken and shrimp loaded potato was missing the shrimp. But the flavor of all the food was amazing. Everything was great. Our entire group was pleased with the food, just a bit hangry by the time we got it. All the customers before and after us couldn't say enough good about the spot. Would return, but will order in advance. read more
