First thing I noticed when I walked in was, I didn’t smell food at all. I should’ve just walked out. The food was terrible, the chicken was very dry and had a bad taste. The rice had very little gravy and didn’t taste good. And as for the yams & Mac and cheese, they both fell short. Needless to say, I wasted my money. Whoever said this was good needs their tastebuds checked. I threw away everything!!!!

I’m so irritated I go all the time and they played in my face tonight I paid $65 for 2 dinner plates they charged me $5 or $6 just for rice and gravy under my smothered chicken and the meat loaf. The meat loaf is just two meet parties with barely any sauce on them. And they barely gave rice under I can see the bottom of the damn foil. I’m honestly pissed off !!!

It was about the clothes
The wife was like 45 minutes
The pastrami was good. It wasn’t enough meat on it. I will send you the picture. I asked for cheese. It wasn’t cheese on it. The fries are not freshly cooked. The Kool-Aid taste like flavored water. Don’t recommend at all. Here’s my pictures.

I love it here. I have seen it a few times on my way home and always wanted to stop in and never did. Glad I took a chance. The service was great and the food was better. Not salty, the smothered pork chop were coming off tender and perfect in a bed of white rice. Yams like my mama cooked them and the steamed cabbage was perfect. 10 out of 10 to the chef. Forgot to take pictures I was so hungry and after one bite I was head down for a while. Lol. Great place to give a try for some comfort food.

Alright, it took me a second to gather my thoughts, but here it is.

I came to Soul Food Shack with my expectations set squarely on the food. I was only in Cali for a short while, and this spot happened to be about 15 min down the street from where I was staying. Perfect location, and I was curious to see how Cali does soul food.

From the first bite, it hit me
Emotionally triggered as I was transported straight back to my childhood. It felt like I was sitting at the kitchen table in New Orleans, eating my nanny’s candied yams, greens, macaroni, and fried chicken. The flavors had that deep, home-cooked love, that is not taken for granted or lost on me, so hats off to the cook!
That kind of food doesn’t just fill you up; it connects you,and to top it off, the drinks? Man, they serve that real deal kol-aid. The kind I used to drink as a kid.

As I was eating, I started thinking about how food ties us to previous & future generations. It’s wild how dishes once considered scraps i.e: greens, yams, cornbread, oxtails, are now sought out in restaurants just like this one. These meals are more than just food; they’re stories of survival, resilience, and community. But I digress, I know y’all didn’t come here for a history lesson in Black culture, so I’ll leave it at that.

Now, onto the standouts. The mac and cheese and yams? Easily the stars of the plate. I like my yams runny and solid, because I love mixing it with the cornbread. Sweet, savory, soft–that combo hits every time. The macaroni? Seasoned perfectly. Creamy, rich, and not bland like you sometimes get at other spots .
That’s rare, and I don’t take it for granted.

Overall, Soul Food Shack gave me more than just a good meal, it gave me a taste of home, miles away from where I grew up. If you’re ever in Inglewood and need some food that feeds more than just your stomach, pull up, tap in, eat up.

The first time I ordered breakfast. A few days later I went again and ordered dinner! The food is well seasoned and is NOT overly greasy or salty. Good price, generous portions. I could write so much more about this place. the Soul Food Shack has delicious food that is just as good as home cooked food made by your aunty or mother. Definitely going back!

Pro-tip: Make sure you taste the red velvet waffles before pouring any syrup on them because they are pure perfection!

Will not order from here again. So many wonderful places to return to.
Fried chicken wings were dry and underseasoned.
Catfish filet was underseasoned and uneventful.
Potato salad tasted store bought but doctored up.
Mac and cheese is pasty.
Fries were soggy.

The Tacos are not what they use to be. The Tacos lack the flavor they use to have.the Turkey meat taste kind of Neutral. They put Very little Cheese Tomatoes and lettuce. The Fries on a scale of 1 to 10 I’ll give it a 6. The Burrito on a scale of 1 to 10 I’ll give it a 6 also. To me the Burrito taste like a average home made Burrito. I don’t know if it’s fast food Quality. You get the hint.

I been here at this place like three times, and I wanna say all 3times I came to eat here was a great experience, I always grab some type of dinner. They food is just fabulous.. I love how full I get and how satisfying each dish tastes. This time I brought a smothered pork chop dinner which was so delicious, but I also had they fried chicken dinner and it worth every penny, I was in heaven. The parking was smooth, customer service was awesome and the vibe was super cool I love the atmosphere there. ❤️ I’m duper grateful to have Soul Food Shack place around.. Thank you for the very good food!
