287 ads from 12 soul food restaurants in the Meta Ad Library, 246 running now.
12 soul food restaurants have 287 ads in the Meta Ad Library between them, and 246 of those were running when we read it on October 23, 2026. Below is a page of creative from each, what formats carry the category, and how long the ads that work stay up.
Soul food ads that bring families in sell Sunday dinner and a lunch special, and they throw in free delivery on catering, because this meal is a weekend table and a tray for the gathering.
The library count is everything a brand has published on Meta. The active count is what was delivering at the read. The ratio between them is the account’s posture: a large library with a small active share is a brand cycling hard, and one where nearly everything is live is running a small curated set.

Hooks, landing pages and run length for each
Every creative, with its copy, format and run length
People do not book a service, they book a job: one room, one driveway, one visit. The ads that fill a calendar name that job and put an offer beside it, a price, a free quote, or a slot this week.
The result is the creative. A before-and-after, the finished job, or a short clip of the work being done stops the scroll faster than a logo or a team photo. In this category video ads lead.
Set a radius around the towns you work in and let Meta find the homeowners inside it. Name the town in the copy: a local name in the first line tells the reader this ad is for them.
"See details" is the most used button on these ads. Use a call button, an instant form or a booking link, and answer every lead within minutes. The shop that calls back first gets the job.
The median soul food ad here stayed up 15 days. Give a new ad a week of spend before you judge it, then retire what is not getting results and write the next version of what is. The advertisers with the most live ads are the ones testing the most.
This page shows 43 creatives. Meta lists 287 for these advertisers, and 246 are running right now. Sprites' proprietary marketing agent reads every soul food ad running now, writes ads for your business in the styles that work, and launches them on Facebook, Instagram and Google once you approve.
