Creole Soul | Restaurant & Bar · Broadway
Creole Soul brings Cajun and Creole traditions to Broadway through shrimp and grits, jambalaya, and catfish. Part of the city's Black-owned dining community, the kitchen leans into a soulful Louisiana character that sets it apart on the block. The menu carries a distinct Gulf Coast accent while staying firmly planted in Sacramento's own food scene.
Q1227 Restaurant · Roseville
Q1227 gives soul food a polished setting on Galleria Boulevard in Roseville while holding onto dishes such as fried chicken, pork chops, and macaroni and cheese. Chef Q Bennett's cooking carries a deep Southern flavor through the whole menu. The dining room dresses the tradition up a little without dulling the comfort at its core.
