Soul Food in Phoenix
Showing 1 - 20 of 20
Small, slightly upscale bar and restaurant specializing in soul food, and especially catfish. Great place to hang, and enjoy a cocktail or even just a glass of grape Kool-Aid with your catfish nuggets or smothered pork chops. There are superb desserts such as red velvet cake, banana pudding, and peach cobbler. The clientele, mostly African-American […]
Don’t spend too much time trying to categorize CC’s on Central. Whether you call it Southern, Creole or soul food (or, more accurately, all three) matters a whole lot less than the fact that it tastes really, really good. Mother and son Sharon and Devan Cunningham have roots in Louisiana and Mississippi, and it shows […]
Ezekiel’s Restaurant is a small, mom-and-pop restaurant in Ahwatukee that specializes in traditional, Southern-style soul food. Fried chicken is always on the menu here, and it’s excellent: crispy, craggy, and moist, delivered hot and fresh out of the fryer. Fried seafood options include a tilapia dinner, the two large filets fried in a light, sandy […]

Childhood friends and business partners Mark Smith and Gary Clark grew up together in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, but brought their beautiful barbecue skills to lucky Arizonans. A catering business that started with a van and portable barbecue pit has blossomed over the last quarter-century into a local tradition, at least among people who can’t get […]

It’s a cheap thrill – we can’t spend more than $8, and that for a three-piece catfish plate with jumbo slabs served moist and mild in crisp cornmeal, along with plump fries and wheat toast. There’s great fried chicken, gumbo, red beans and rice, and decadent homemade fruit cobbler, too.
Fried chicken simply doesn’t get any better than this, unless it’s paired with waffles. Everything on the soul food menu is homemade and completely addictive, with luscious catfish, red snapper, omelets, greens, mac ‘n’ cheese, and red velvet cake. Leave the diet at the door.
One of Phoenix’s best soul food restaurants, Lo Lo’s Chicken and Waffles is bound to make everyone happy (except maybe vegetarians). The Southern-style fried chicken is extra crispy and served with cinnamon-kissed golden brown waffles. Don’t knock it ’til you’ve tried it. If the signature combo seems too strange for you, Lo Lo’s also has […]

Walking up to Mrs. White’s Golden Rule Café, you can’t, for a second, tell if you’re in present-day Phoenix or the first act of a decades-old film. Inside and outside, this place is a throwback, from the painted-on sign to the tight wooden booths and lunch counter. The fantasy extends to the menu; Mrs. White’s […]
Rhema Soul Cuisine is a Queen Creek original: a soul food café with an eclectic menu of Southern-style specialties like chicken and waffle, barbecue, Southern sides, and house originals like the “Brorito,” which is a sort of soul food take on the burrito. Mostly, you’ll want to come for the barbecue, which is first-rate, especially […]
If this were a list of the best brunch spots in the Valley, SugarJam A Southern Kitchen would be at the very top. On weekends, this place is a party complete with brunch cocktails and a DJ. But our favorite time to enjoy chef Dana Dumas’ exceptional cooking is during the week. The cafe is […]

Situated in the residential heart of the Coronado District, you won’t readily stumble on low-key little Tuck Shop like you would some of the restaurants along Seventh Street, but this place is worth the detour. Owner DJ Fernandes, an architect, revamped the 1950s-era building into a relaxing hideaway that’s one part sleek tapas bar and […]
