I have literally just eaten the best chicken of my life here. Ever. This is life changing stuff. I got the smothered chicken, okra, creamed potatoes, and black eyed peas. I am here visiting from CA and I can't believe I have to leave this little town because I'll never experience this food ever again. Excuse me while I go cry in what's left of my gravy...
I ate hear for lunch Thursday. I had fried chicken, mashed potatoes, cabbage, okra, sweet tea. Food was great. It really is just like home cooking. Nothing seemed to be frozen all hand made. The mashed potatoes were the best. Liked the 10.00 price. The staff was very nice and my cup was never empty.
I highly recommend this restaurant!! Homemade soul food!
Smothered pork chops are as good a food as I’ve had in a long time!

Ordered smothered chicken livers w/ tart-n-sweet fried green tomatoes, fried taters, cornbread, & black-eyed peas. Ate lunch for $10.⁰⁰ + tip. Exquisite food & prodigious portions!
Little past lunch rush & cafe's about ½ full. Many tables need bussing. Family business. Staff (Selga - Mona’s son) stretched thin ↝ he’s the waiter / bus person / concierge. The counter person - Mona - the owner. Previous customers all cleared their plates, speaks well of the cook.
Gray carpet's worn, mostly-clean, indoor/outdoor, but w/ diatomaceous earth applied around the baseboards. Vintage, uptown, dining chairs. Picnic-style table cloths. Creates back-at-home feel. Multiple folks coming for takeout.
✔ Would give 6 ✰’s if possible.
✔ Felt like I was in chicken liver heaven… I’ll definitely be back!

The food, service, and presentation were all outstanding. The staff was warm and inviting and the price was more than reasonable for the amount and the quality of the food we food. We will definitely be back! Thanks for a delicious and enjoyable meal. �
This place is da' bomb!
Finally a place that actually does awesome non-sweet traditional meatloaf with tomato gravy rather than brown.
All scratch made, along with scratch made sides, gravy, and cornbread. That's hard to find nowadays.
Can't wait to try everything here!
We were looking for something different in Paris and were pleasantly surprised. There are no menus and the lunch choices are listed on a board on the wall, but for a limited selection the choices were terrific. All four in our party loved our meal. One person in our group is deaf, and the staff were very helpful towards him. The staff were very sweet, friendly and pleasant, and we will be back for sure!
We had a wonderful experience here! The food was warm and comforting and we didn't feel rushed at all. Our four-year old cleaned her vegetable plate and the rest of us enjoyed chicken fried steak, smothered steak, and chicken livers. Service was friendly and the atmosphere was great for a relaxing lunch. We will definitely be back.
We LOVE this place!! The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming, the food is totally delicious and comforting, and seeing the woman who provided the recipes sitting there in the cafe is so sweet!!!! We always stop through in our travels!!! Keep doing what you are doing!!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👌🏼
Food is awesome and the staff was very friendly. Will definitely go back. Highly recommend! �� can't wait till next time.

I had the smothered pork chop and it was great! Good homestyle food!
I had the Meatloaf, Green Beans, Cream Potatoes and Cheese noodles. Everything and Everyone was nice. And i like the fact that the waitress asked me did i need a refill. I will be back. And very affordable. $11.00 boy you can't beat that!!!
The fried chicken is like grandma's I love that place
Hot & flavorful! Had the chicken spaghetti, glazed carrots, cabbage, smothered smashed & cornbread. A sit down restaurant that's not Mexican or parboiled/out of a bag... Holla!!! Thank you Mona < 3
Mona's food is always amazing! So incredibly satisfying!
Had Sunday lunch today, very good home cooked meal! Lots of good seating in nice quiet cafe. Will definitely be back!

BLESSED � good soul food. God bless each of you. Keep up good work.�
Been a couple times...great food...plan on returning often.
We were so glad that Molly told us about Heart Soul Food. The food is great and everyone was so nice. We will definitely be going back!
In town for my mom's doctor appointment. We wanted to try something we don't have at home. We were very pleased!!!
Self directed seating. Wonderfull and polite table service. True home cooked meal with perfect spice with just a hint of pepper. Sunday lunch the Chicken and Dressing was top shelf, served with 3 sides of your choice and your drink. I will be back soon.
Good soul food.
I was raised up on southern soul food so I know what the good stuff tastes like and this is the good stuff.
My wife and I both had the smothered chicken, this was smothered with homemade gravy with 3 sides.... Cream potatoes, they're not instant, they were fresh. Man and cheese was amazing as well. This good is Delicious
Good southern comfort food. Simple, but delicious menu. You dont leave hungry with the generous 3 sides that come with your entree. Only issue was their card reader was down and I had to run to the bank to get cash.
First time going there but it won't be the last. All the food was great..
I had the meatloaf and it was very good. Also had blackeye peas, cabbage , and pinto beans..All were very good.
Highly recommend this restaurant
Amazing food. Super friendly owner and staff. We will be back often!!
This gem of a restaurant provides comfort foods that are made to perfection! Service is very nice, friendly and timely. If you are looking for a place with simple menu choices and a welcoming environment, Heart and Soul is the place to go.
Ok Paris. If you havent been to Heart and Soul Food Cafe you are missing out on the BEST home cooking restaurant around. I hate to admit it but I've been there three times in one week. The staff is top notch! The food is just like going home to Momma's kitchen table. You will leave full and satisfied and within your budget. Food and drink total only $10. You will also have left overs. Wish I could give it more stars, you will agree when you try it for yourself.
