Don't let reviewers like S.A. fool you. There is more than one way of soul food. Every region is different and Trap brings the best I've ever had in the valley. I love their fried chicken sandwiches and sides! I can't get enough of their potato salad. Everyone in my family loves them and I refer them all to my friends. Y'all gonna cater my wedding one day. Fo'sho best around.

I was just at my boy’s house and we stumbled on this place scrolling through nearby food spots. Let me tell you firsthand that this place is Grade A quality cooking, food was on point and cooked fresh! Service was excellent and I already told as many friends as I can to slide over there and see for themselves. My dawgs and I will definitely be pulling back up there 1000%. If you enjoy soul food or even if you don’t, I’d still advise you to try!

Well, it was my first time there. I ordered a meal with twelve pieces of chicken/Greens,Mc&cheese, Yams, and corn bread + 2 extra large sides and a cup of Kool Aid. 62bucks 20 mins away.. thought I was getting wings and they were HUGE pieces of flats and drums that were so big and hairy..Disgusting..they were not cooked thoroughly enough for me. My Opinion..tasted kinda burnt like the oil needed changed. Great customer service Sides were pretty tasty Yams were kind of mushy but really tasty 4*

I just ordered the food in 1/29 and kook aid was missing I called and was told I would get a credit. And again today 2/26 I ordered the food 6 piece, extra corn bread , bake beans w turkey and potato salad. The food was delivered still hot and fresh , order was correct and food was delicious. Outstanding job . The same energy I used when order was missing an item. I called them today with the same energy to make sure they were aware of how great the food was and outstanding service and attention to detail.

Born and raised in Phoenix I have NEVER and I mean NEVER tasted soul food so good! I’ve ate a lot of places mind you being from Arizona however nothing has ever really hit the spot unless it was made from my grandmothers kitchen. I can honestly say this food is better then my grandmas cooking. The chicken and fish was seasoned perfectly and it was very crispy and juicy! My fiancé and I live for sides and when I tell you the mac and cheese and greens with the fried okra was SO ON POINT! I got the henny sauce on the side with my wings and that sauce is bangin bangin. I moved out of state but I definitely know where I’ll be going when I visit home! I would definitely recommend TRY THIS RESTAURANT and DONT OVERTHINK IT TRY ANYTHING you WONT be disappointed. Thank You Trap Food Xpress for feeding my appetite, it HIT THE SPOT!

Me and my family ate here today and let me say the food was . I’m always hesitant on trying new places but I’m glad I did. The Mac n cheese was hands down the best I have ever had. My shrimp was fried and seasoned perfectly. My daughter smashed her chicken sandwich and left nothing behind. My wife had fish greens and fried okra that was off da chain. The service was also amazing. Vibe was chill with hip hop music playing. I will def be coming back!!

The Crispy Chik'n Sandwich is a masterclass in texture and seasoning.
