Sweet soul food is amazing! They have options for “choose your plate” with 1-4 different options (out of multiple!) and a huge salad bar. We went with a 4 item plate: eggplant lasagna, Mac n cheese, collard greens, and okra gumbo with rice. They were all SO GOOD. Nothing tasted like “fake cheese”. Everything was cozy and comfortable. We even went back for a second plate with helpings of the gumbo, Mac and cheese and their creole curry! They even have a drink of the day and can mix the two to make an Arnold Palmer style (ours was green goodnes and five berry mixed). The drinks were slightly on the sweeter side so agave must’ve been added. Also the cornbread is DELICIOUS. If I’m ever in NOLA again - I will definitely be stopping here!
They have a small indoor seating area and 1 table outdoors. So prepare ahead for large groups and consider take out! The people are amazing and you have a smile on your face before you even try the food!
They also have coconut based icecream and other desserts as well, but we were full and content from the food so we didn’t get a chance to try them.
One last thing to note: they do use all disposable plates/cups/utensils - so if you are trying to minimize your waste impact, try to bring your own reusable cups/utensils (and maybe even plates - but call ahead and ask about that!).
