Noonie's Place

04/12/2026

Noonie's Family,

It is with a heavy heart that we share some difficult news. In the early hours of this morning, Noonie's Place experienced a fire that has significantly damaged our building.

First and foremost we are grateful to God that no lives were lost. Our staff, our family, and our community are safe. We also want to extend our deepest gratitude to the Vallejo Fire Department for their swift response and professionalism in containing the fire.

This is hard. We won't pretend otherwise. Noonie's Place is more than a restaurant, it is a labor of love, a piece of our community, and a home away from home for so many of you. Watching something you've poured your heart into be impacted this way is something no words can fully describe.

But we are still standing.

Noonie's was built on resilience, soul, and the love of this community and that cannot be burned down. We are already working through next steps and we will keep you updated every step of the way.

Please keep the Noonie's family in your prayers as we navigate this season. Your love and support over the years has meant everything to us, and we are going to need it now more than ever.

With love and gratitude,

Tara & Ronda
Noonie's Place 🙏🏾❤️

Hey Fam! 🍲 Stress is real, but at Noonie's Place, we believe in the power of a "hug on a plate."

April is Stress Awareness Month, and we’re here to remind you that a little bit of soul food comfort goes a long way. Whether life’s got you moving too fast or you just need a win, our kitchen is your sanctuary.

Imagine this: a plate of our rich, slow-simmered Oxtails dripping in gravy, or that perfectly seasoned, golden-brown Fried Catfish that’s giving bougie with a bite. It’s soul-satisfying, heart-warming, and made fresh to order just for you.

You deserve a moment to slow down and savor the flavors that taste like home. Take a breath, pull up a chair, and let us handle the cooking.

We’re reopening tomorrow (Wednesday) at 12pm sharp! 🕚 Come get your comfort fix and let’s tackle the rest of the week together. You won’t regret it!

Wait, Hoisin Oxtails? 🤔 Listen Noonies, the 2026 Soul Food Revolution is getting a little wild! While others are busy experimenting with glazes, we’re right here sticking to what Grandma taught us. 👵🏾✨

We believe in the power of the slow-simmer. We’re talking hours in that rich, savory gravy you know and love: no shortcuts, just pure heart and soul. It’s gourmet, it’s giving bougie with a bite, but it’s always rooted in tradition. 🥣

So, Fam: where do you stand? Are you a ride-or-die Traditionalist, or would you like to see a Noonie’s "Modern Twist" for a special occasion? Let us know in the comments! 👇

If you’re craving the real deal, stop by or order your plate of oxtails and greens online. Come taste the legacy!

Noonie’s Place isn't just about the best oxtails and gumbo in the 707 (though we definitely got that covered!); it’s a living legacy. These two aren't just business owners; they’re culture shifters and community builders who pour love into every plate and every local initiative. From the arts scene to the kitchen, their vision is what keeps us thriving!

Vallejo, we made it on KTVU! 🙌🏾❤️

To see Noonie’s Place featured on the news means more than I can even put into words. What people see now is the food, the smiles, the success. What they don’t always see is the sacrifice, the long nights, the stress, the prayers, and the decision to keep going even when things got hard.

This business was built with love, faith, family, and flavor.
Not just to serve food but, to serve people.
Not just to open a restaurant but to build legacy.

We are so grateful to KTVU for highlighting our story and to every single person who has supported Noonie’s Place, shared a post, told a friend, bought a plate, or simply believed in us.

Vallejo, thank you for loving on us. This moment belongs to the whole community too. ❤️
