“ My husband wanted soul food from a “hole in the wall” and this hit the mark! The music was good and loud enough to drown out the other tables. The service was fantastic- plenty of refills, condiments, boxes and everything in between. The parking was the only “bad part” but that’s city life! 50 for two meals, premium sides, sodas, and dessert. Highly recommend ”
“ The fried chicken here was the best we've ever had! The chef signature salmon bites are a must. The staff was amazing and the atmosphere was great. We ended up going here twice on our 3-day stay on St. Charles Ave. ”
“ Took a mancation to new Orleans and wanted to try something different. This place is fantastic! Not too expensive and a lot of food to eat. I had the salmon bites platter. It came with fries, hush puppies, and a nice slice of cornbread. You better come hungry! Hope you guys enjoy!! We sure did! ”
“ We were there shortly after they opened for dinner and were the only people in the place. There were seven of us. From the time we walked in, to the time we got our food, it was an hour. Not a fan of the ordering process. You will see a lot of comments about this throughout the reviews. I can’t imagine being there during the dinner rush. However, it was worth the wait because the fried chicken was probably the best I’ve ever eaten. I got two sides of collard greens. They were amazing. Everyone at my table loved their food. The peach bread pudding needed some flavor. It tasted like hot, mashed peaches in a bowl of warm, wet bread. It needed some cinnamon and some ice cream. ”
“ We stopped in for the last dinner of our trip after spending the day at the WWII museum. Everything we tried was so good. We all decided that it was the best meal we had in New Orleans! ”
“ I'm from Chicago, but fell in love with New Orleans and it's food back in the 90's. I now travel there at least 3 times a year to eat, drink and be merry. I have a few favorite restaurants that I always have to eat at and now I have one more! Suzie's Soulhouse has the most consistently delicious and authentic home cooked southern soul food that I have tried! The fried chicken is the BEST I've ever had! (*my number 2 is now "lil Dizzy's" also in Nola) The mac and cheese was the BEST I've ever had (and I've had a lot)! The greens were the BEST I ever had...so perfectly seasoned that I didn't add hot sauce which I normally do. It was too darn tasty to mess with! However, Suzie's has Crystal and Louisiana hot sauces so they've got you covered! The atmosphere is low key, nothing fancy, but comfortable enough with plenty of tvs everywhere to watch sports or news. My server, Andrea was very helpful and kind. The prices were great, especially with current inflation! Suzie's also has stewed chicken and smothered pork chops and try to find that outside your grandma's actual southern kitchen! It's a pretty 25 minute walk from the quarter and right by the WW2 museum. Go to Suzie's Soulhouse next chance you get! It is as good as it gets! ”
“ Absolutely Incredible Food. This food is the real deal. Don't get sucked into a tourist trap restaurants.... This is REAL FOOD. Mac n cheese is phenomenal. Fried chicken and catfish were outstanding. Peach Bread Pudding... Lawd. ”
“ Suzie’s is quickly becoming a weekly stop. The staff are so sweet, the salmon bites and crawfish tails might make you slap somebody, and the happy hour drinks are nice. ”
