Hello!! Today’s my birthday and my wonderful children took me Colo’s Southern Cafe because I was craving soul food. We had a wonderful time. We did have to wait a bit for our order but the atmosphere was nice and when we got our food it was awesome. I got the beef rib and two links with potato salad and greens. Oh my goodness the beef ribs were huge!! It was so good my daughter got the sticky fried ribs and my son got the pork ribs. They both got macaroni and cheese and they loved it. The service was awesome even though they were super busy. I recommend you get there early. A wonderful time & experience!!

I loved this place. One of best soul food restaurants I’ve been to since moving to the west coast. I will be going back. I had the 2 way shrimp and oyster plate.

Well I was very hopeful after reading the reviews and planned on ordering one thing but because they were out of fish and macaroni n cheese, I switched my plans and ordered the oxtails… well they were $30 plus dollars (with rice and two additional sides which is typical from my experience in Houston, Tx but in Houston it’s $17 and you get 5 large oxtails) nonetheless the price didn’t deter me because after all I am in the expensive high cost living California … got my plate and was sorely disappointed… hadn’t even gotten out the restaurant when checking my bag which was placed on the table by the staff, gravy everywhere, rice mushy, three very small oxtails and minimal sides of sweet potatoes and greens (see picture) but was missing my cornbread, got my cornbread and left… finally sit down to eat and was still hopeful; however, the oxtails were bland, sweet potatoes tasted like lemon juice nothing sweet about them at all, my cornbread was soaked in the remaining gravy which spilled even more… quality of plate I’m presuming… for $30 plus dollars and tip 41.00 total I had to add seasoning and hot sauce to the very tender oxtails and I ate tasty greens as they were! Gave the mushy rice, bland gravy, and sweet potatoes to my dog after I finished but she wouldn’t touch the sweet potatoes either!! Definitely not worth the price!!! I went to this place off Google suggestion because I was looking for another soul food place my cousin recommended which happened to be closed. Very disappointing to say the least!! To end on a positive note, the staff was nice and the atmosphere was cozy as I ordered and waited for my food (which is why I gave 2 stars versus 1)

First time here an it was a super long wait including the fact that my waiter forgot my order. But I understood that they were understaffed, an my waiter was bussing his but off from table to table an I felt bad for him especially since it’s a black own family business. How ever though when I did get my food the food was amazing, I really enjoyed everything an I will be coming back soon.

Really good flavor, definitely homemade. Rice was mushy but the gravy helped. Greens were good. The macaroni and cheese, OH MY GOODNESS was awesome!!! Love the multiple cheeses! I didn’t give higher rating because of the fact I asked if the smothered chicken was dark meat. I told both people that I didn’t want white meat. I got home to find that they gave me chicken breast strips!!! They were out of peach cobbler so I got the sweet potato pie. Not only was the pie burnt, it was made with yams not sweet potatoes.

I ordered the grilled salmon mac and cheese and yams with a banana pudding. Salmon was on point but they ran outta Mac and cheese so was recommended to get the garlic noodles which were so good fire foreal the yams could a been a lil better. And they forgot my banana pudding which I will go get tomorrow. The meat portions (salmon) were big enough for two I would recommend overall !! service was good dude was real bubbly very personable my mom got fried catfish she said was ok didn’t like her yams and said her greens tasted funny. She a picky one tho. Glad to share my experience oh and they even serve sweet Kool aid IJS
