williams soul food express

ok?. we tried this soul food express yesterday, and we were extrememly surprised that express is part of the name. fried chicken was verygoodbut other items were just ok. mama deans in fayetteville is much better. didnt think it would take 22 minutes to get our food. parking was horrible.

there's some serious home-style country cooking going on at williams! walking in it has, to me, more of a 50's diner feel with vinyl on the walls and motown and 60's soul playing at a healthy volume, love it!

the menu leans hard on fried chicken and catfish plus a daily special. the "soul" comes in with sides like collard greens, black eyed peas, cabbage etc. as the legit reviews have mentioned, the chicken is very good. it's not the over processed, hyped commercial stuff but the kind you use to get at sunday dinner after church when the whole family got together at grandma's place. the sides were all fresh-made including both the sweet potato and regular fries: a+
the black eyed peas were also a hit. well seasoned and cooked down like mom's. the sweet tea was great, not sickeningly sweet, just right and fresh. all in all a verygoodhome-style affair.

our server was very friendly but overwhelmed. she apparently was the only one on the floor and was looking after her kids too. while it truly is a family place, it didn't help the speed or attentiveness of the service. even if properly staffed, frying chicken per order takes some time so don't be in a hurry or opt for a different entrée.

issues aside we look forward to returning. a big thanks to user shelly little for the tip!

we have been meaning to eat at williams soul food express for the last couple weeks. last night we stopped in for dinner. this is a very friendly, happy group and they make you feel welcome. the brightly painted walls display a wonderful collection of soul/r&b lps. while waiting for the food we had a great time reminiscing over the different titles and artists we grew up listening to. hearing those wonderful songs playing was great! we had decided on the tuesday night special of meatloaf with two sides and choice of roll or cornbread. fantastic meatloaf! great black eyed peas, reallygoodgreen beans, great fresh salad andgoodokra. the owners are very sweet and make every from scratch so you're not getting any processed or frozen foods. they give you huge portions for a low price with a happy attitude in a spotless clean restaurant. we will definitely be back!

great place!!!. great atmosphere! love the music.goodfood, friendly staff. highly recommend it!

we had heard the food wasgoodhere.gooddoesn't begin to cover it! the smothered pork hops are incredible. the side dishes are great and the pie is to die for. best restaurant meal we've had in ages. and the prices are very reasonable. highly recommend !

my daughter and i ate there today . first time and it won't be the last. trulygoodfood the staff were super friendly as well. i predict they may have to expand

this is one of the hardest reviews i've made because i can't say enoughgoodthings about this place. my husband got takeout for the first time on saturday. we both had fried chicken dinners and agreed it was the best fried chicken we've ever had. after my dinner traveled a 20 minute ride home, plus settling down to eat, by the time i dug into my second piece it was still hot and steamy on the inside and crispy on the outside. i had greens and mac & cheese, and both were fantastic. you can immediately detect the love they put into greens. so flavorful with nice surprises of meat that i assume is ham hock and the mac & cheese was delicious and creamy. i sent my husband back the following wednesday for the chicken spaghetti. i don't know what they do to that concoction of greatness but it is highly addictive. i couldn't stop eating it. i was in a state of euphoria. i had the rest of it for breakfast! this time around we tried the candied yams and the hushpuppies. next on my list is the catfish. this is my new favorite place and the folks that run it are about as sweet as it gets. don't put off eating here. you won't be sorry. it's the real deal!

first time in and i have to say amazing! i had fried chicken, mac n cheese, and green beans. i never thought i would eat chicken asgoodas my gmas but i will say its better.

amazing soul food in lowell, ar!!!. awesome southern soul food at its best!!! all food is made from scratch including the deserts (loved the sour cream pound cake sooooooo much i ordered a whole cake to pick-up next saturday for only $30!!!! amazing!!!!). southern fried chicken with candied yams (yum!) & delicious cole slaw. my friend ordered the fried chicken with macaroni & cheese & it was so creamy & good! hush puppies were just amazinggggg!!! currently open: tues.-sat. from 11am to 8pm. they do run out of some items later in the evening
but that is because all the deserts (sweet potato pie, chocolate cream pie, real southern peach cobbler & sour cream bundt pound cake are just toogoodto resist!!!).

i drove by them even though i was looking for them but if you look for the torres tours business sign on the west side of us71b (bloomington st. in lowell, ar) they are on the same lot (buildings are attached).

great food... great people. this food is excellent!! the fried chicken was so light and crispy, not greasy at all! the greens and the mac and cheese were home made, it was sooo good!! the williams family aregoodpeople and so nice!! you have to try this place!!!
