Straightforward restaurant serving hearty, down-home soul food, plus Jamaican & Caribbean plates.

First time, visiting from Huntsville, and I would recommend it.
You can order a combo plate if you want to get two proteins. The catfish is piping hot on the inside and crispy on the outside. The jerk wings had a good flavor. The cake flavor I chose was not rich, just mildly sweet.

I ordered the Jerk chicken plate with collard greens and sweet potato casserole. Chicken was seasoned to the bone and the jerk sauce was phenomenal . The collard were well seasoned and complimented the cornbread very nicely. The sweet potato casserole was excellent. The customer service was great and inviting, I will definitely return here again.

Jake’s Soulfood Cafe:
A Must-Visit for Authentic Southern Comfort
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Jake’s Soulfood Cafe, and it was one of the best meals I’ve ever had.
From the moment I walked in, the fun, welcoming atmosphere set the perfect tone. The vibrant wall mural with the “Welcome” signs and the quirky cutout immediately made me feel at home.
The food was the true highlight. I ordered the Sourthern Combination plate with turkey wings and a perfectly breaded piece of fish. The sides were just as incredible—the macaroni and cheese was rich and creamy, and the cabbage was seasoned to perfection. Every single item on the plate tasted like genuine, homemade soul food.
This isn’t just a meal; it’s an experience. If you’re looking for an authentic taste of Southern comfort food in a cheerful setting, I highly recommend Jake’s Soulfood Cafe. You won’t be disappointed!

Been twice so far. Fresh, quality food with good portions! Inside clean and greeted on entry. Ray Ray served our food, made sure we enjoyed our meal. Very kind and warm energy. Definitely going back again soon. Highly recommend the crispy catfish, the jerk chicken, and greens. Do not forget to pick up their house made juices!

The street to get there is a little dicey but once you get in there the food is pretty good! The sides we had were Mac & Cheese, Collard Greens, Fried Okra, Cornbread, and Mashed Sweet Potato. Every side we had was bussin! Cornbread was a little dry but still good! Okra was fresh, Mac & Cheese was hittin different and the Greens were greening! Best I’ve had from fast food in awhile! Now the Chicken was a little big and I know that throws some people off but honestly it was okay too. I’ve had better but the side were worth it alone! If you’re out near the Galleria give it a shot if you feel like soul food!

10/10 Definitely visit them. I ordered the oxtails with macaroni and collard. The oxtails are soooo good & the greens are definitely southern style!! At first I did not like the macaroni, but the GM fixed it immediately!! When i say that fresh macaroni was GOOOOOOD!! IT WAS GOOOOD! The service was also great, we actually got checked on while we were eating and enjoyed the experience!

I enjoyed my time here. The food I got tasted amazing and it had a lot of flavor. I got the Catfish Plate with Mac & Cheese and Caribbean Rice. Definitely worth the price. Would recommend to all of my friends.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND this Jamaican restaurant. For their prices you are getting an incredibly bountiful amount of food in every meal. I have eaten here a couple of years ago and the environment has dramatically changed, it looks great. The quality of their dishes has not changed, still are delicious and absolutely flavorful. You have to experience it for yourself to understand why this place is a recommendation by all who have been here.

We’ve been eating here for a while and today I decided to try the strawberry cake. I was very disappointed but thought it was just me until my husband, daughter tried it and didn’t like it. I’ve had their cakes before and was also disappointed but the food has always been a 10/10. The cakes are dry every time and today the strawberry cake was not only dry but was probably the worst cake I’ve ever had, sorry but if it was just 1 time I wouldn’t have said anything but yea it definitely needs to be addressed
