I don’t think we have a true Southern soul food spot in the SCV… so if you’re looking for a solid recommendation, you’ve got to check out Cea-Lo’s (Food for the Soul). We stumbled on this place while working in the Sherman Oaks area and decided to give it a try. The reviews were great, so we figured why not — and wow, they were not lying!
The food was amazing and left our bellies so happy. We started with the fried chicken wings and the fried jumbo shrimp, and both were on point. For the mains, we ordered the fried catfish dinner with black-eyed peas and greens, the 1/2 fried chicken dinner with mac and sweet potato mash, and our son went with the fried buffalo chicken sandwich. Everything we tried was delicious.
He even makes his own dipping sauces and hot sauces, which just takes it to another level. We’re definitely going back!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Phenomenal Food + Fantastic Service!
I am still thinking about the food from this restaurant — that’s how good it was! The seafood is truly outstanding. I ordered the crab cakes, and let me tell you… they were packed with flavor, incredibly juicy, and honestly some of the best I’ve ever tasted. Absolute perfection.
The mac and cheese was everything you want comfort food to be — creamy, cheesy, and full of flavor. But the real scene-stealer on my plate? The crispy Brussels sprouts. Whatever magic sauce they put on those things needs to be bottled immediately. I didn’t just eat them… I practically inhaled them.
My friend ordered the fried white fish and jumbo shrimp, and WOW — crispy, fresh, and seasoned perfectly. The collard greens were tender and delicious, and the red beans and rice were super flavorful and comforting.
The food alone makes this place worth visiting, but the service elevates it even more. It’s a Black-owned restaurant, and everyone working there is warm, friendly, and genuinely makes you feel appreciated as a customer. That kind of hospitality sticks with you.
If you’re anywhere near this place — go! And if you’re not, make the trip. It’s absolutely worth it. I can’t wait to come back!

This little hidden gem!!! Food was AMAZING! Fried chicken, candied yams, greens, macaroni and cheese, beef ribs…all were delicious! We live in Ventura County and drove to the San Fernando Valley to check this place out. It was worth the drive.
The food takes 20-25 minutes to be served and I am petfectly fine with that because it it made to order. Check them out. The owner is very attentive and provides great service!

Mmm I mean the food is okay. I went during business hours and they were closed last time. I went the other day and some of the sides just not hitting. The banana pudding tastes like jello mix the restaurant is cute though and it’s black owned so I’ll be back. The Mac and the yams were the best thing on my plate. Also the food was fresh, it was still hot when I got home 30 minutes later!

The food is amazing!! Been to a lot of places for catfish and Mac n cheese and hands down the best!!!! One of our new favorites!! The tartar sauce can be eaten alone lol. The portion is big and the catfish has a lot of flavor. The juice has blackberry, soursop, orange juice, lemonade, and pineapple juice and it’s nothing like anything I’ve had.

Food is delicious. Had the dirty rice it’s so good. It has chicken, shrimp, and sausage. Great flavors. The mac and cheese is yummy as are the plantains. Fried shrimp is so good. Service is great. The guys working there are super nice and friendly. Highly recommended.

DELICIOUS!! Vegan-friendly. Carnivore-friendly. Vegetarian-friendly. Pescatarian-Friendly.
Soooo good. The “Not So Dirty Vegan Rice” is out of this world. Not to mention the sweet potato cornbread. *insert meme of Jenifer Lewis fainting. And the Banana Pudding!! My dad got the “5-piece Fish Plate” with Greens and Macaroni Cheese. It was sooo good he devoured his food and then ordered it again to-go. Lol My mom ordered the “Dark Chicken Dinner” with Yams and Red Rice. She’s a hard critic but she let us know she absolutely loved everything. She even enjoyed the slice of pickle and pepper garnish lol I tasted everyone’s food and it was ALL FIRE. I am a new regular here. Thanks Chef!

My boyfriend and I decided to try something new and stumbled upon this gem after checking out Yelp. The owner, Chris, is incredibly friendly, and the service is great! The food is absolutely amazing. We ordered the catfish with shrimp, and let me tell you, the batter on both the shrimp and fish is unlike anything we’ve ever tasted before! I highly recommend giving this spot a try – you won’t be disappointed!

Highly recommend this place!! Mac & Cheese was straight up the best I’ve had.
Honestly all the sides were super good, I could rave about the collard greens, black eyed peas, & hush puppies. Catfish & fried chicken were also super crispy & delicious. Huge portions, very reasonable price for the quality of the food.
Our group ordered:
– 6pcs Chicken Drums sticks w/ Mac & Cheese, Hush puppies (really good)
– Cat Fish(my favorite) & Onion Rings
– Cat Fish & collard greens, black eyed peas, & candied yams.
Chris the owner was super friendly and gave us good recommendations. Would definitely come back

Every dish is amazingly delicious, from dirty rice to cooked catfish and everything in between. Fried shrimp, crabcakes, collard greens, candied yams the list goes on. Chef and Ja are wonderful people. When a medical condition caused me dietary issues Chef immediately altered his recipes to accommodate me. The banana pudding is incredible if you’re lucky enough to get the chance to try it out. They run out fast.
