Today was my first time eating at Southern Express Soul Food, and I learned something new...Comfort Food and Soul Food are not the same thing, but the difference isn't in the recipe.Let me explain. I walked in and was greeted with a smile and friendly conversation with the nice woman behind the counter.I've been to many restaurants with a nice staff that made me feel welcomed, but I had never felt more welcome than I did here.As I ate, I thought about why it was that I felt so welcomed.What I realized was the woman and gentleman behind the counter were genuinely nice folks that were passionate about the food and service they provided.I felt that they sincerely wanted to share their passion with others.The people running this restaurant served comfort food, but they put their soul into it. The woman helped me decide what to get from this cafeteria style restaurant and when she told me how cheap it was, I knew I was in trouble.As of April 2024, every item is $1.75.I gorged myself with fresh and delicious food.I had a chicken thigh, 2 pieces of fish, jambalaya, mac & cheese, and macaroni salad...I wanted to add other things but my plate was overflowing.All of this food, including a can of Coke was $12.25 plus tax. You can tell when something is made from scratch and everything was.Plus it was so delicious...The love that went into the preparation and serving of the food truly made it soul food. I had passed this place many times over the years when I visited Louisville and kept meaning to stop.I now regret not stopping sooner.
The food was amazing.That is the best and freshest Fried Chicken and Fish and all of the fixings for the sides of any real soul food restaurant! I could go to this place daily if I could.Such amazing food and specials every day.And what I could not believe is the cost of the food should be way higher than what it is in my opinion, for what it's worth.
This place was is amazing!! The workers are so friendly, and the food is real authentic and tastes great.I’d recommend anyone to come here .Some of the best southern food you can get around here.
