I only read positive things about EllaEm’s Soul Food in North Las Vegas Nevada so I thought I’d give them a try. They won a “BEST OF VEGAS” by the Las Vegas Review journal and have mostly very positive reviews on Yelp. On purpose I didn’t use the restaurant name in the title of this posting because it not my intention to bring anything negative to this restaurant. My only mission is to tell……The FORKING Truth.

Everyone was welcoming and friendly when we walked in. Eventually we ordered and they started us off with a warmed up cornbread muffin with soft butter.

The cornbread muffin was very good. Moist but slightly sweet with a good corn flavor to it.

Then the meals come.

I got the grilled red snapper. Today it was a bit fishy tasting and maybe was the best part of the plate. The mixed vegetables seem like from frozen and are laced with water and nothing else. In the middle are sweet potatoes that have a texture like mush and are sweeter than any dessert out there. I have no idea on how they were able to make them sweeter than sugar. The macaroni and cheese might have been good at one time. Today it’s over done and dried up.

The country fried steak was also over done and dried up. My husband said that this isn’t the best……

Maybe they were having a bad day? ……That made my day bad too!

On the other hand it was nice that they let a lady bring in her dog in a stroller.

Awwww the dog owner and dogs are so cute together. She obviously loves her dog very much.

As much as I enjoyed the service, cornbread, and the heart melting dog moment in dining room……

For my taste I don’t expect to be going back anytime soon.

Even if I just hit them on a bad day.

Every THING is subject to change.
