He gave me a number and the food came out fairly quickly, though there were 6 numbers ahead of me. I ordered the shrimp and grits, and it was fresh and delicious, with just enough spice to the shrimp. Several weeks later, I found them at the Food Truck Rally in Union Township. I again order the shrimp and grits, and this time the portion was larger, with more ingredients. (I'm assuming that their regular dish was "downsized" for the Taste of Cincinnati). To me, the little extras -- I remember Jalapeno butter as being one --- turned a good dish into an extraordinary one.

You have to actually go in your birthday and show your id. The service is good but it take a while to get your food, but once you do everything is all nice and hot.

It is a nice little restaurant, the staff was so nice. It is a bit pricey, but what isn't these days. I ordered the two piece catfish and four wings platter. It comes with two sides and cornbread. My sides were Mac and cheese and green beans. The catfish was so delicious and seasoned just right. I didn't have to add anything to it. The wings were perfect. They had a very flavorful crispy breading that make a crunch noise when you bite into them. And juicy on the inside. The flavoring was so good. Usually I don't order plain wings, I'll get like bbq sauce or some kind of sauce with them......these wings didn't need anything. The Mac and cheese was good and the green beans as well. I didn't have to add anything salt or pepper to any of my food. My husband ordered the 10 piece wings and he was very pleased with his food. He said those are some of the best wings he's had. He also got the Mac and cheese and loved it. His other side was the collard greens. He said he loved them. This place also had dessert and people were coming in and ordering dessert to go. It must taste good also, but we were too full to get dessert. I highly recommend this place if you are ever in the area. It is definitely one of the best soul food places I have ever eaten at. It's a bit pricey but the servings are so big.

Love Amore Besotted Take great people (Melinda was our server and the chef came out to check on us...more about Melinda later)... Combine it with great food and great ambiance, and you get this restaurant! The first thing that you notice when you walk in is that it feels like home. Some restaurants focus heavily on decor and leave a lot to be desired in terms of ambiance, the people, and the food. And in other restaurants, you walk in and feel as if you can stay there forever. This is one of those places. We stayed there for a while. Imagine being in Grandmom's living room with pictures on the wall and positive music playing in the background. That's Soul Secrets. The menu is big enough to make sure that everyone can find something to eat, but not so big that you will struggle to make a decision. From fried catfish and grits to French toast to salmon croquettes and the largest pancake on Earth, there is something for everyone. My niece ordered the French toast, and my sister ordered a special breakfast that came with a pancake, grits, eggs, potatoes, and sausage. I was still hungry from last night's meal, (and you can read about it in another review) so I just nibbled off of my sister's meal. The French toast came out first, and I could tell immediately that the chef knew what she was doing. The rest of the food came out, and again, they brought the largest pancake I've ever seen. My sister was treating us today, and I was glad that the menu prices were very reasonable. My niece said that the French toast was delicious, and she ate as much as she could. She has a dance performance tonight and made sure that she didn't put her show at risk. It was difficult for her because the food was so good, but she managed and took a box home to eat it later. Yes. My sister nibbled on everything else and thoroughly enjoyed it. I had the grits and some of the pancake, and I have to say that it was very difficult for me to stop eating because it tasted so good. The pancake was perfectly cooked and fluffy with crispy bits on the edge. The grits were creamy and flavorful, even without cheese. The coffee was great. I had several cups. All in all, it was arguably better than any breakfast I've had at any restaurant that serves it. Now let's get back to Melinda. So often, the dining experience can be directly related to the person that greets you when you take a seat. Thank goodness we were greeted by Melinda. She has one of those energies and personalities that makes you feel as if she has been in your family for years. Funny and friendly, but at the same time, dedicated to making sure that you have a good experience. Again, I felt like I was at someone's home rather than in a restaurant. She called me a "troublemaker," which means that somehow she was seeing the 20-year-old version of me instead of the person that I am today. lol So here's the summary. If you are in Cincinnati and you want a great meal, there are many restaurants to choose from. It appears to be a pretty decent restaurant town. But if you want to FEEL Cincinnati, while feeling right at home and having one of the best meals ever- Soul Secrets is one for the ages.
