“ I have been aware of this establishment since its opening in 2018 but had not yet had the opportunity to visit. After a long and challenging night shift, I decided to stop by for breakfast, and I am so glad I did. I ordered the pork chop breakfast plate, which was cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. The Kool-Aid drink was a nostalgic treat and just as enjoyable. The quality of the food and overall experience exceeded my expectations, and I will certainly be returning. ”
“ My family and I have had food from the Soul Food Shack and was very satisfied. The food was delicious and very flavorful ”
“ Not sure why this place doesn't have 5 stars because the food was delicious and service was amazing! We got the $5 meal that comes with 2 legs and 2 sides for $5!!!! Love that for the community. The best red velvet waffles I've tried too, perfectly crisp on the edges and fluffy inside. Sooo good. Everything was BOMB! Also, they were about to serve us our meal but the lady realized they put gravy on our rice and made sure to change it! I didn't mind the gravy but the fact that she took the time to make sure our order was perfect! Great service. ”
“ I met up with my foodie friend for a working lunch. Sou Food Shack is located on market street in Inglewood. There is street parking available so I was able to find a meter spot. I couldn't read how long due to poor quality but managed to add a hour to the meter using my credit card. We found a good table and were greeted by very friendly staff. The space is cozy but roomy with a really good vibe and music. We looked over the menu with lots to look over. Big C was our server and greeted us with a big smile. We couldn't help but look at other customers plates before deciding what to order. Our order came to the table quickly and it was fresh and hot. I ordered fried catfish and decided to share our sides. Everything was delicious and flavorful. Large portion and enough to take home for later. Over a great experience and want to come back for breakfast. ”
“ It was good, The catfish batter could be more crispy and seasoned. It's overall good, the red beans and rice was perfect to taste. The corn was sticky and delicious, Need some more of that in my life. Potato Salad was okay (: ”
“ Our original plan was to get takeout from Dulan's on Manchester but when we drove by, we couldn't tell if it was the line for the restaurant or the line at Space Mountain at Disneyland (minus the signs for approximate wait time). We didn't feel the need to try it that badly so I checked my Yelp list to find a nearby alternative. I had Soul Food Shack listed so we drove a few more minutes into the very charming section of downtown Inglewood. Parking was limited on the street but we were fortunate to find a spot right in front. We were so happy to find no Disneyland lines waiting for us. The young lady taking orders was very cheerful and helpful. It really made us feel welcomed. The prices were higher at Shack but I was ready to take the plunge since I was on a mission and refused to return home empty handed. My son wanted meatloaf with mac and cheese and yams while I ordered ox tails with gravy and rice, corn, and yams. My wife who accompanied me on my journey wasn't hungry so she said she'd pick at our food. After waiting in the car to be called, our food arrived and the bag was HEAVY. I don't mind paying more when the establishment is generous. When we got home and began eating, we were extremely impressed with their cuisine. My son loved everything on his order. He was especially happy with the Mac and cheese. My oxtails were soooo tender and you don't even really need a knife since it falls off the bone. The cornbread muffins that come with each meal were wonderful. The yams were on the sweet side but I still enjoyed them. The corn was okay. I probably should've ordered collard greens or Mac and cheese instead. The quantity of food they give you is more than generous. My son didn't finish his meal which NEVER happens. I recommend Soul Food Shack highly and look forward to my next visit here. ”
“ April 2023: My friend introduced me, and a friend in town visiting from Seattle to The Soul Food Shack, as he also wanted to explore a different neighborhood; Inglewood specifically! She had been telling me about this restaurant, and now I can see why she couldn't stop talking about it, it's absolutely delicious! Catfish w/sides($19.99): On point, mouthwatering flavor, and perfectly crispy! The sides are incredible as well, and the portions are plentiful! Yams, greens, and cornbread... Yes, yes and yes, please! Flavor upon flavor... The kind that makes you want to dance! Hahaha! The Sweet Tea ($6) was refreshing and amazing, perfect amount of sweetness! Customer Service: Super friendly, genuine vibe, as well as on point with the recommendations and knowledgeable about the menu! Overall: Yes, if in the area, I would absolutely return to The Soul Food Shack, as it's a winner! ”
