Suzie’s Soulhouse

Yes! It was yummy.We had the fried chicken and rib plates. We also tried almost all their sides. The mac n cheese so yummy and just the right amount of cheese. It was one of the most yummiest mac n cheese, I've tried. We also had the greens that were also yummy but a little salty for my taste, still I would return just to eat those. The corn bread was amazing, I was so happy with the texture, as it was not dry. My husband highly enjoyed the mashed sweet potato, they were his favorite as he enjoys sweets. The fried chicken left me wanting more, however, the ribs were not my favorite although they were tender, and had a good tangy flavor. I should have taken a picture of our plates because there was no leftovers. We had lemonade and the sweetest of teas. Honestly I highly enjoyed our meals The service was amazing, and super friendly. I also took an amazing peach bread pudding to go. The restaurant was golden and welcoming, they even asked if we wanted our table candle lit. Thank you to the ladies at Susie's. It was great.

Yeah.... Yeah... Yeah... ((sigh)) I absolutely LOVE supporting local businesses ANYWAYS possible. Certainly adore supporting black owned businesses. .Ok, so I went on yelp for find a place that served cornbread... I was craving it like crazy (not on my daily or monthly eating habit at all - but I HAD to have some). Anyways, I called a number of times to one get menu, the. 2 to get address/location clarification. I arrived... Their sides (collards/cabbages) had meat in them / bomber :-( I don't consume meat. Anyways... I ordered (2) cornbread pieces, a side of Mac & cheese and a lemonade (they had peak sweat tea - I wanted homemade). I about chocked when the young lady told me my total it was $18.52!!! Whatttttt I immediately said - No ma'am... I will have (1) cornbread and lemonade. I don't drink water OR any beverage with "ice"... Ok, I asked for no ice, young lady said ok. So, she came with my cornbread, the. i tasted it... it was very good. The. i stood there waiting for my lemonade. I seen her fill the cup, I said - I'm waiting for my lemonade. She spun around and walked to the side and came back with the cup & straw. The kids doesn't fit properly. I said thanks... as aim walking off, top pops off and I notice it's. VERY light. I go back to the counter to secure lid then noticed - WHERES THE REST OF THE LEMONADE!?? Wow... I asked nicely - Ma'am may I have more lemonade please... The young lady looked embarrassed then there was another lady (now know it was a daughter I guess), came walking off and stated .."If you don't get ice, we don't fill the cup all the way up." I had the look of WTH on my face! She said it again ... "We don't fill the cups all the way up if you don't get ice." I was furious like - ARE YOU SERIOUSSSSSSS! For a 16 oz styrofoam white cup for $2.99 and I have to get ICE If I want a beverage!? WTH!!!! I've NEVER!!! .I have multiple businesses and what I experience with the "no ice, no full cup" thingy - I would NEVER. I was a 1st timer and it will remain that way. I was coming back with my hubby next week for dinner, but after that - no way! I understand inflation coast with inventory as any other restaurant owner, but we all know that it coast about 5-8¢ to make sweet tea and about 10-15¢ to make homemade lemonade. Mind you the lemonade wasn't true lemonade... why it took them a while to go get my lemonade - there was something "added" to it. It wasn't true lemonade. I couldn't stomach the 1/2 of the 1/2 I received. .When I went in, there were ZERO customers patronizing there. It was around 6 PM. The cost is bananas. I don't mind paying for great service, even if the food isn't up to par, but the whole experience is a red line off my "swing by" list. You can't make payroll off of (1) meal. Heck - I didn't have a full meal!!! It was 2 cornbread a side of Mac & cheese, then a 1/3 cup of mixed lemonade. For over $18.... After deleting items - I had 1 cornbread and a lemonade for over $7.00 After I left, my thought was... I should have gotten a refund and picked up a fruit bowl, because THAT wasn't it. I was ROYALLY disappointed. Maybe that explain why there was NO ONE in the establishment, even if they HAVE been in business for awhile. You can't have everyone attempting to run your business efficiently and with great customer service, which is MAJORLY absent in businesses today. .Hate it , but they won't see me again there EVER. .See pic of a side of Mac & cheese (not my I found from another review. A "small" cup for $6.00!!!?? Holy Taledo!! Bring a stack of cash if you plan to eat here and bring your own drink because you won't get a full cup without ice. Ok - ok - ok... Review over.

New Orleans, like many major cities, is changing. Large scale gentrification and chain corporations can make you long for the days when you could stop by a neighbor's house to "get a plate", and you know that plate would be delicious and made with love. Well folks, New Orleans is lucky to have a place right uptown where you can get that homecooked flavor, at the one-and-only Suzie's Soulhouse, a family-run restaurant that has years of experience in local catering.My husband and I went to Suzie's on a Saturday evening, and got a table with no wait. The staff (Suzie's daughters) were welcoming and friendly, and fellow patrons also contributed to a very chill, casual vibe. We started off with homemade lemonade, which was the perfect ratio of sweet to tart. I had the seafood pasta, which features a tasty cream sauce and crawfish. My husband had the fried chicken, which he reported as crispy and flavorful on the outside, and moist on the inside. His dish came with delicious mac n' cheese and smothered cabbage.The real mic drop at Suzie's Soulhouse came with dessert. We got the peach bread pudding with rum sauce, and it was HEAVEN. Now I have family from New Orleans, and lived there for 7 years, so I know my way around a bread pudding. I daresay I am a bread pudding conossoire. This was the best bread pudding I have eaten in my long and blessed life; moist and tasty, the peaches added some excellent fruitiness, and the sauce was truly sensational.Don't miss this soul food experience that leaves you feeling like you just left your mama's house after a lovingly prepared meal. That is, if your mama is a gourmet cook from New Orleans! The food here is prepared with quality and time, which are lacking in today's society. Chef Suzie even came out of the kitchen to greet us, for which I felt extremely lucky! Don't miss this uptown gem!

Today is our last day in NOLA and wanted to try some soul food. Had the fried chicken, crispy and juicy 10/10. Had cornbread very moist 10/10, collards were well seasoned 10/10. Mac and cheese was a dud on the same level as Kraft Mac and cheese, very disappointed. You guys have to work on the Mac and cheese. The service was great. Would definitely come back.

Good food. Great service. The greens could have a bit more flavor but the ribs are tensor and the sauce is different. Crawfish and shrimp pasta was good. Cool little place They serve wine, beer and seltzers.

The food, service, and location are perfect! The food has a true authentic southern taste and the jambalaya is a hidden jewel in New Orleans !

I have never posted a restaurant review before but I had to do it. I am from NJ and I was looking for a place to eat while in New Orleans, somehow I stumbled across this place and decided to give it a try. I am so glad I did! I am not exaggerating when I say this might have been one of the best meals I ever had!!!The ribs were falling off the bone, so tasty and tender! The greens - I don't know how they cooked them but they were absolutely delicious. My wife had Secondline Pasta, she loved it. Luckily we asked for a piece of cornbread - AMAZING!The people were super friendly. We will be back before we go back home. Awesome experience!

Food was amazing just stop looking and go!! Everyone was nice and food was soon good!! They had a good music Playlist ! IM TOO FULL BUT WANNA GO BACK ALREADY!!

Good don't hesitate to give this one a try. Well worth the $$ Authentic Cajun at a great price Can't go wrong with Suzie's Soulfood

Food was the best I had during my various visits to New Orleans Louisiana. My husband and son and I ordered different dishes and I got to try each one. The dessert was delicious also.
