Soul Food Renaissance - Soul food restaurant in Long Beach - 6617 Cherry Ave, USA

Wonderful experience alert! This is my new favorite spots when in visiting LBC. The ladies are nice, and extremely polite. I ordered veggie plate, collard greens, dressing and yams, and potatoe salad as a side, its was a over whipped but super tasty. Its about the flavor. Great job! Will definitely be back! #TEAMSMILEY

Diamond in the ruff! Brought my mom here & we really enjoyed our meals & desserts. Small restaurant in a small, unassuming shopping center. You have to order before you sit but there isn’t an abundance of seating. Most ppl ordered to go so there was plenty of seating while we were there. They brought the food & drinks to our tables & I would totally recommend. I’ll be back. The meat was jumping off of the bones!

My boyfriend and I have wanted to try this place for at least a year and we finally got around to it. There was a decent amount of seating inside and parking is sufficient enough for a Friday night. Service was decent too. I ordered the BBQ Chicken with rice and gravy, yams, baked beans, and potato salad. My boyfriend had the Hungry Man combo (smothered oxtails and smothered ribs) with rice and gravy, mac and cheese, and cornbread stuffing. Everything we ordered was pretty good, particularly the cornbread dressing (probably some of the best I've had). I could do without the rice and gravy and there were a couple items like the mac and cheese, beans, and yams that I've had better elsewhere. My boyfriend thought the oxtails and ribs were really good. All in all, it was a good place but just a bit pricey in comparison to other Soul Food places I've been to. I would come back though if I'm craving Soul Food.

My husband and I will not be eating there again. We wondered why it was empty when we went there, we should have taken that as a sign. Ended up throwing the food away. Usually, we go to R. Kitchen on Paramount Blvd in Lakewood, but they were closed on Tuesday. They have the best soul food.

Best thing was the drinks. Fries were mid. Sauce on the rice tasted burnt. Greens weren't seasoned. Shoot nothing was seasoned. Shrimp...... what was that. It was like eating the tail. Tarter tasted like only Mayo. Hot sauce was water with red die.

Been coming here for about a year now and I haven't had a bad experience yet. Catfish is great, yams, mac and cheese, red beans and rice. Rice and gravy tastes great and I am not usually a fan of rice and gravy.

This place is so good. People who know about it are probably happy is isn't a 2 Hr wait. Snoop Dog has eaten hear and im sure countless others. We literally went in and ordered more food before we left.

Ordered my mom food to be delivered because she is bedridden right now. Ordered 2 plates. One was Turkey wings and dressing with the okra corn. Recurved 1 Turkey leg and rice and gravy. Second plate was oxtails w/potatoes and carrots. And Mac n cheese. Received 2 oxtails and dry white Mac n cheese with rice and gravy. Nothing like the pictures with both pieces of Turkey wings and 4 oxtails. Very disappointed. Won’t be ordering again.
