OH. MY. GOD. The food is SO GOOD!! And the service is impeccable! They truly provide that southern hospitality treating you as if you’re a member of their family. The fried chicken is SO FLAVORFUL, Juicy and tender, it just falls of the bone! The Mac and cheese is so good too! The collard greens were a tad bit too salty for my taste, but they were still pretty good. I love how they accommodate special requests too, the inside is a vibe as well it has soul kitchen vibes with classic rnb hits playing and charming decor. I LOVE THIS PLACE! Definitely a gem in Nola if you love home cooked southern food like mom used to make, this place is it!! And the prices are very reasonable!!

Talk about your hidden gems. This place is a MUST try, in the city. The service is outstanding and beautifully, encompasses southern hospitality, and the food is absolutely superb. These were just some of the sides they offered, but it was wonderfully filling on its own. It's off the beat of the tourist trap restaurants, which we tried, but honestly, this place beat them all! Don't leave NOLA without eating here.

First trip to Louisiana and it was not going to be complete without some Soul Food. We came upon Suzie's and something said this was the spot. Oh. My. Sweet. Taste buds! It was delicious! The fried chicken was crispy and sooo flavorful. I had the Mac and cheese and corn and they were also seasoned to perfection and I think my plate was empty in a matter of minutes and I didn't even care how I looked like I hadn't been fed in years while I was devouring my meal. If you're in New Orleans, run, don't walk, to Suzie's. A+

This is some of the best food in all of New Orleans. The smothered pork chops, the red beans, jambalaya, the shrimp pasta are some of my favorites. Service is always friendly and courteous. They also have the best prices in the downtown area. If you are looking for a quality soul food experience, you should eat here.

EAT HERE. Total hidden gem that somehow nobody seems to know about. Staying in a nearby AirBnB, came in on a Saturday evening with the goal of avoiding crowded tourist traps, and was literally the only customer the whole time. Food was amazing (I got the Catfish St. Charles with Garlic Mashed Potatoes), huge portions. Andrea the owner was warm and friendly, even lit a candle for me. Food took longer than I expected to be ready, but I was in no hurry, and it was totally worth the wait.

My sister has a shellfish allergy but they used a separate fryer for the chicken than what they use for the shrimp.

What a hidden gem! I regret not taking photos of the food. The wait is every bit worth it as everything is made fresh to order. I had Catfish St. Charles with a side of mashed sweet potatoes and my husband and daughter had fried chicken, fries, mac and cheese, corn bread, and greens. Everything was EXCEPTIONAL and we cleared our plates and left full and happy. The inside is charming: good music, great customer service, and a comfortable place to enjoy amazing food.

The flavor of the fried chicken was absolutely delicious and juicy. The fries had a delightful kick to them but not overpowering. Perfectly sweetened cornbread, and you can't go wrong with the Mac n cheese. Don't mind the take-out box the server thought we wanted it to go. Friendly staff. I'm definitely hitting this spot up again.

Suzie’S Fried Chicken

Very professionally, clean, response time is extraordinary and we enjoy their dishes especially the shrimp and grits is one of our many favorites. We also tried the seasoning and it gives your food a great taste. This is our go to place for catering service. Whenever they have suppers, we more then likely order. This was a recent purchase of the stuffed peppers, macaroni n cheese, greens, cornbread and cold drink. The Bonus for us, you get your coins worth! If I can give 10 stars I would for excellency!

We were in New Orleans for 4 days and ended up getting food from Suzie's twice. Make sure to order/arrive early because they'll sell out. The stewed chicken and smothered pork chop were positive surprises and as we expected the fried chicken and ribs were excellent. Great food and really good value. They even called us afterwards to see how we liked the food; gotta appreciate a kitchen wanting to stand behind their plates. Cheers.

My wife and I are staying at the Quizby hostel so we decided to try Suzie's as it is located only steps away from us. I ordered the fried chicken with the Mac and cheese and the jambalaya. I was amazed with how good it all was. Each part of the meal was exploding with flavor, I especially liked the texture of the macaroni. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Our beverages never got too low before a fresh one was on the table. I would absolutely go back here when in town.

Embarrassed to say but I have to say I drank the juice from the bowl!! (Smother pork gravy) We also had the ribs, fried chicken, greens, macaroni and cheese. Seafood platter and all was to DIE FOR!! Cornbread too! All around already planning to come back and we're still finishing our food. Ordering dessert to go. Beyond happy to have found the place. The service is just as bomb! Thank you to the chef and the whole place!

Skip the tourist trap places to eat when in Nola, came across Suzie's soulhouse which was close to hotel. First meal had the second line pasta, enjoyed so much I changed plans and returned the next day for the fried chicken which was the best I have had in many years! Atmosphere was nice, the folks running it were great! Can not beat prices, portion sizes and food was excellent

In from the 716 and we found this absolute gem of a spot. Mom Suzie in the kitchen, daughter working the counter. Food was smackin. Crazy good fried chicken, cornbread, Mac n cheese, kickin Crawfish pasta … and very affordable! Right on St Charles, (streetcars rule!) nearby the WWII museum. Hafta go there. Bourbon St is for fools imo, it’s these places that you get da real New Orleans ‘ting. Big up ya self Queen Suzie! ❤️’s y’all. Go Bills.

This is an amazing family owned and operated restaurant. The prices are great and the food is even better.

My wife has a tree nut allergy and they were super helpful. At the time they didn’t serve any food with nuts.

Went there almost at close for the first time and was accommodated well to say to least. I order the special Fried catfish and just subd the fries and a order of greens , and I wasn't disappointed. Fish was fried hard to my liking and food was hot and good for me..

I have had the pleasure of having Suzie's Soulhouse many times. You get quality, quantity, flavor and excellent service. Some of my favorites have been her chicken and sausage gumbo, stuffed peppers, and shrimp and grits. No matter what you ask for, you won't be disappointed.

Friendly, personable, excellent food. Some of the best tasting food I've had in my life.

Suzie's soulhouse has the best bbq ribs in the world. Not chili's, not Applebee's, and not your Midwest bbq typical cookouts at the parks. It's at the soulhouse y'all!! If you don't believe me just try!

I ordered a full Thanksgiving spread for my hospitality work team of 30+ working on the holiday. All of the food was hot and ready right on time and my co-workers are still raving. 100% recommend.

When I come back home I got to get me some SoulFood! Now, they have some good soulfood restaurants, but nobody and I mean nobody doing like Suzie SoulFood! Man go check it out 4 yourself!

By far the closest thing you can find, not of the city in the city. Great customer service that will make you smile when you walk through the door. More

I have never been disappointed. The food is remarkable and the service is top notch. I recommend them to almost everyone I know.

Hey! This survey asks, "which dishes do you recommend" and yet it leaves out the macaroni and cheese with this heavenly! More
