Mom's Soul Food Kitchen & Catering

My recent order was meant to feature smothered pork steak, lasagna, and dressing, but the meal that arrived was quite a letdown. Instead of the lasagna I had anticipated, I received mac and cheese, which unfortunately had a strong, vinegary taste. The dressing was equally disappointing, completely lacking any seasoning and tasting utterly bland. To make matters worse, the smothered pork steak, which was supposed to be the highlight of my meal, arrived noticeably undercooked. As someone who is 8 months pregnant, this entire experience left me feeling incredibly disappointed. It's a stark contrast to the consistently good food I've enjoyed from the Delmar location.

My recent meal, which was delivered today, unfortunately fell short of expectations. Not only was my order incorrect, but the chicken itself arrived cold and completely lacked any flavor or seasoning. My decision to order again was solely based on a fantastic first experience, which I had even bragged about to others. This time, when I ordered for both myself and a friend, the food tasted nothing like that memorable first visit. The only redeeming part of our entire order was the Mac n Cheese. Given the significant amount of money I spent, this level of disappointment is truly unacceptable. Thank you, but no thank you.

After a marathon of Gordon Ramsay's vintage UK Kitchen Nightmares, a powerful craving for Shepherd's Pie struck, leading me straight to Mom's Soul Food Kitchen & Catering via Uber Eats. My order quickly grew beyond just the pie, which I customized with extra potatoes and greens with turkey, to include fried chicken wings, mac and cheese, potato salad, and a generous array of sides: yams, lasagna, green beans, black-eyed peas, rice, and to top it all off, banana pudding. Every single dish was a revelation; the magnificent flavors and the undeniable love infused into the cooking were truly astounding, making for a superb feast that will easily provide several satisfying meals. Having spent nearly two decades in the culinary industry, I possess a keen understanding of what constitutes quality ingredients, authentic taste, and most importantly, the profound emotional connection great food should inspire. This meal was so exceptional that I personally called the restaurant to convey it was among the finest I've enjoyed in a long time, even amidst a week filled with other excellent dining experiences. I'm incredibly thankful to have such a gem right here in my hometown; we truly are blessed in "the Lou" with our Cardinals Baseball, Blues Hockey, and now, Mom's Soul Food. I wholeheartedly recommend experiencing it for yourself.

My experience with the ribs was quite disappointing; they contained an excessive amount of fat and charred pieces, overshadowing the actual meat. The greens had a peculiar sweet and sour taste that strongly brought to mind a canned product. As for the macaroni, it was notably bland; while technically edible, it felt more like plain noodles simply coated in cheese rather than a thoughtfully prepared dish.

Eeh.. dressing was good to me but the celery in it was way too thick & that threw me off. Turkey greens were a no & the rib tips were a little tough as well. I did find the staff to be funny though. My dude threw his entire plate away after like 2 bites.
