    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!!

    Good soul food. Very flavorful. Friendly and helpful staff. The food takes a while so go when you are feeling patient and have time to kill. Worth the wait.

    I had a WONDERFUL experience here. Me and my husband came here with my 2 year old and they had games for him to play. My husband had the 2-way combo grilled shrimp and snapper w/ beans and rice, okra. I had a fried shrimp po boy and upgraded my side to the greens. My son had fries(of course the connect for had his attention so Mommy helped him). We had mint refreshers for the drinks. All the food was aaaammmmazingly DELICIOUS! The only reason for 4/5 on the food is my husband said he would a preferred a bit more flavoring on his snapper. We will definitely be back for sure!

    I ordered through Uber eats and I can say that I thoroughly enjoyed my oxtails dinner. The meal came faater than expected and everything was seasoned to perfection. The potato salad could have used a bit more salt on the potatoes themselves but was still delicious. besides that I have no complaints because the food was . It was worth every dime, so I will be ordering again.
