M & J Soulfood Restaurant

Excellent food! I got the stuffed (cat)fish and it was excellent. It was blacked and stuffed with crab and shrimp and so yummy. It was similar to blackened catfish with a crab-cake/seafood-cake on top. The Mac and cheese was homemade and delish. The seafood rice had crawfish and shrimp. The prices are amazing also. This is a great place to eat. Note: it's a solid 4.5.

The best white beans I've had in a long time!! They actually use pickled pig tails!! This is what REAL soulfood should taste like. It was delicious.

We came here for lunch wanting to try out some of the East's soul food spots and I was not very impressed. everything was overly greasy and the chicken was cold, the macaroni was bland and looked like it came right out of a Kraft box. My companion had the stuffed pepper and wasn't all that impressed. The prices are reasonable and the offerings are limited. For soul food in the east I would rather head to Sister's.Here is the menu breakdownMonday: Red Beans & Rice Tuesday: Meat Balls & Spaghetti Fried Chicken Wings Fried Chicken Wings Fried Pork Chops Fried Pork Chops Smothered Pork Chops Smothered Steaks ChitterlingsWednesday: White Beans &Rice Thursday: Chitterlings Fried Chicken Wings Fried Chicken Wings Fried Pork Chops Fried Pork Chops Smothered Turkeynecks Hamburger Steak w/Mashed Potatoes & GravyFriday: Fried Catfish Barbeque Ribs Saturday: Shrimp Fettuchini Stuffed Bell Peppers Lasagna Fried Chicken Wings Fried Chicken Wings Fried Pork Chops Fried Pork Chops Side Items: Macaroni & CheeseJambalayaGreen PeasPotato Salad

Almost never write a review, but this place demands it.Top 5 meal I've ever eaten. The box doesn't look like much, but hold on. You're about to go for a ride. Candied yams, greens, Smothered Pork Chops. I thought i was going to need hot sauce... then I noticed there was none on the tables or counters. There must be a reason.... There was!! Everything is perfect straight from the kitchen! Seasoning, tenderness, texture. All served hot with plasticware as soul food should be. This box is a treasure box.. get you one.

Great food!! Customer service is amazing!! Friendly people. Place was clean. We will return next time we are in the N.O

Everything on the menu is delicious! I have had it all and have never been disappointed. I will definitely continue to patronize this vendor.

Fried chicken, mustard greens & macaroni & cheese!! Omg!! Hot & Delicious! We were visiting from Alabama, found just what I was looking for, soul food! And I just wanted to add in reference to another review I seen that almost deterred me from stopping, THE MAC AND CHEESE IS DELICIOUS! they used long I guess uncut pasta, like a 6 inch elbow I guess you would say. It was baked and cheesy, and coming from a southerner who eat this type of stuff regularly, IT WAS GREAT! Thank y'all!
