Southern Express Soul Food

"I hoped this little hole in the wall would be a neighborhood gem, as I was raised in the South. I was grossly disappointed. When we were there, the owner/manager (Tamara) was literally screeching at someone in front of customers in the middle of the restaurant. The food was not good. Very salty. Small portions. No cornbread. No substitution for out of stock items. Expensive for what it is. Dinners are $20+. Poor service. The place is dirty."

"I recently had the pleasure of discovering a hidden gem in Winchester, NV, 89109 – Southern Express Soul Food. This quaint spot took me on a nostalgic journey through flavors that resonated with the soul.Each dish was a revelation – from the perfectly fried chicken with its satisfying crunch to the meticulously seasoned cabbage that met my discerning standards. The mac & cheese, true to its soul food reputation, offered rich and comforting flavors, while the oxtails, tender and falling off the bone, hinted at a slow-cooking mastery. Despite initial reservations about the larger meal options, the Chef Special priced at $25 showcased select meats that justified the up-charge, embodying the true essence of soul food and reminding me of my time in Louisiana. The Peach Cobbler, a trip down memory lane, rivaled my mother's renowned recipe with its impeccable crust and the sweetness of the peach juice. The restaurant's atmosphere felt like a family gathering, with both employees and patrons creating an environment reminiscent of a reunion. It was heartening to witness the genuine connections between the establishment and its customers. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, whose politeness and willingness to be interviewed for my podcast reflected a true passion for her craft. Southern Express Soul Food is more than just a dining experience; it's a place where exceptional cuisine and a warm, familial atmosphere come together, leaving me eager to return and continue supporting this culinary gem. Keep an eye out for my upcoming podcast episode featuring an interview with the wonderful owner!"

"The chitlins were so salty I had to rinse off and boil them in some water. The portions were small and the greens had so many stems. Also no corn muffin was included like it was pictured in the photo. For a $35meal, you'd Bank of corn muffin would be included."

"Miss Amelia and the crew here do it RIGHT EVERY TIME! This is the best soul food west of the Mississippi! I got here at 8:40 and they still had a GREAT SELECTION… Thank yall for showing up everyday and SHOWING OUT!"

"I usually DoorDash from this restaurant at least once a week. Their food is always fresh and well seasoned. The portion size is rather large and is more than enough. They package the food well and it’s always hot by the time I get it."
