Kendall's Soul Food: Discover Authentic Southern Flavors in Dallas

I needed to grab a late dinner had just got off the rode from a five hour drive. If I tell you this food is finger licking good and I did lick and didn't leave anything on the plate. The jerk chicken and fried cabbage was bustin. The service was excellent , super friendly there was no wait and the atmosphere was amazing. They had good R&B playing in the background nice vibe to sit down eat and just enjoy your meal. I would recommend this place 10 times over and every time I come to the DFW I'll be making sure I stop by. I wanna try everything on the menu.

first, parking...it was our first time and didnt know how the parking situation will be like but we found a parking across the street for $11 for 4 hours. we ended up asking to make it a TO-GO order. i feel like with a different seating arrangements/layout the location can have more tables/chairs for customers. anyway, the food were so delicious. highly recommend this place. the oxtail was incredible! i love oxtail and they didnt disappoint 10/10. my bf had the ribs and he wished they gave 4 instead of 3 pieces since it was so delicious .

Man I dnt even know where to start. Those brothers in that kitchen cutting up. The food was unreal. I ordered the oxtails and my boyfriend ordered the ribs. Top tier!!!!!! We not gonna speak on how good the corncake I mean cornbread is. I was thinking about my next order while eating my first order. Had the pleasure of speaking with the owner Fontaine ( hope I spelled it right) what a heartwarming story he told us. I love seeing people succeed. Ive found my new spot when I visit Dallas. Im not an influencer, im not even on social media so please believe me when I say the food is a 20 outta 10!!!! I have nothing to gain from writing this review but hopefully if someone is like us, searching for good food, they make it to this slice of heaven!!!!!

Oh. My. God. This was one of the best meals I have had in my life. I didn't even come to Dallas expecting to try their soul food, but something told me to give Kendall's a shot despite being in a sea of texmex and BBQ. Y'all. I live in Saint Louis. I've been to New Orleans more times than I can count. Cream sauce seafood pastas are one of my favorite things to make, and one of my favorite picks to order out, whether we're talking a garlic cream sauce or a Cajun cream sauce or anything in-between. If it's got seafood or if it's got pasta--or better yet, both--I'm IN. So I ordered their salmon which came with shrimp on a bed of creamy garlic penne. They KILLED IT. I could see them freshly preparing everything from the dining area; no microwaved noodles or frozen sauces from Sysco boiled in a bag here. (As such, it did take a good 20-25 minutes to get my food) It was absolutely phenomenal. Great music and clean dining area, too. The AC could use a little help, but I'd sit in the 100 degree Dallas sun shooing off all the panhandlers outside if it meant getting another plate from Kendall's someday.

The food was so good! Everything was so seasoned! You can definitely taste that the food was made from love! Everyone was so nice and great hospitality! They played some amazing music and wasn’t too loud like most restaurants. Although, it is pretty small I think they will grow bigger in the near future.

Kendall’s was absolutely amazing! I ordered the oxtail with mac and cheese and sweet potatoes, and everything was perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. You can truly taste the care in every bite. My friends ordered the catfish, jerk chicken, and chicken fried steak, and they couldn’t stop raving about their meals either. Beyond the food, the staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and accommodating, which made the whole experience even better. Kendall’s will definitely be a must-visit for us every time we come to Dallas. Highly recommend!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had the pleasure of dining at Kendall’s Soul Food while in Dallas for a conference, and I’m still thinking about that meal! The chicken fried steak was enormous and, without question, the best I’ve ever had—perfectly seasoned with rich, flavorful gravy. I ordered a side of yams and they were out of this world—sweet, tender, and full of flavor. My son had the oxtails, and it was my first time ever trying them. I was genuinely shocked by how delicious they were. Every bite was tender and packed with flavor. If you’re looking for the best soul food in Dallas, head over to Kendall’s. It’s absolutely worth the visit! I know I’ll be back!
