This is the updated prices. The prices on the wall are not correct as of today.

The atmosphere is very casual. They have a nice hand drawn picture on the floor and hand draw pictures on the wall. They play R&B music. The R&B music is not censored so it's not for the faint of heart. The fries have no salt and very little seasoning on the pork chop. The food was mediocre at best. The service leaves a little something to be desired to as I wasn't given any silverware or any thank you's. I had a piece of cake. I guess they wanted me to eat it with my hands. OK.

If you're ever in the Portsmouth area and have a craving for soul food, try B's SoulFull!…read more While here I noshed on Pig-feet, collards and potato salad for 16.00. Everything was so good. Seasoned just right. I also had the fried shrimp. Plump and fresh! Most entrees run 16.00 with 2 sides. The owner and chef is adorably friendly and welcoming. Ambiance is standard dine in restaurant with light music.

Good day family! Upon walking in I was greeted by "Welcome…read moreto B's Soulful" which happens to be the owner. The ambiance was a more of a layed back vibe.It has setting for 2-3 people. As the music played which was a mix of Afro beats and neo soul . I had to make my order. There's a quick menu on the counter that you can choose from. To pay is by cash,cash app or the QR code . The Menu : Fish,fried Chicken with the option of (gravy on it) pig feet, pork chop baked chicken. Sides: Mac and cheese Collard greens Potato salad Green beans Yams This was a hard choice between the chicken and the fish(whitening).I went with the fish,collard greens and Mac and cheese. Family when I tell you it's like grandma Sunday dinner and Thanksgiving mix in one. Fish was seasoned to perfection, Mac and cheese just right, the greens were so good. The owner was very warm and welcoming. She has dedicated her restaurant to her father. She was passionate about feeding and spreading the love of her food to others. If you are in the area check them out. You will not be disappointed. **bonus she offers catering and is bringing cat fish to the menu** Customer service: 5 Food: 5 Dinning area: 5 Parking: 5 it's in a pretty spacious area for parking.

Charm & Manners in Portsmouth, VA was a great experience. The host greeted us immediately when we…read morewalked in and seated us at a booth. It had just opened and we were the first guests there, so things were still getting settled. Our waitress never came over, so the young man who seated us ended up taking care of us instead. I didn`t catch his name, but our check said Kyle J, and he was absolutely wonderful--very kind, attentive, and checked on us multiple times throughout our meal. I ordered the catfish with mashed potatoes and gravy, along with collard greens. The catfish was absolutely superb--hot, perfectly cooked, well-seasoned, and full of flavor. Both sides were great, especially the mashed potatoes and gravy. My friend ordered the meatloaf with cabbage and mashed potatoes, and we shared bites of each other's meals. We both agreed that everything was fantastic. Great food, great music, and great service. We will definitely be back again and again!

Came here for a birthday dinner. I arrived to the party standing across the bar waiting as they…read moredon't take reservations. We were seated in about an hour after arriving. They were not able to accommodate the party size so we were split up at 3 different tables in the restaurant. I personally didn't mind as the birthday boy just got up and visited us at the different tables. Being at a smaller booth was a plus because we received faster service. I ordered the blush cocktail which was balanced & pleasant. My man ordered a Shirley temple. For food, I ordered the fried whiting with yams and mac and cheese. My man got the crab cakes with yams and collard greens, We also ordered cornbread. The whiting was fried nicely & well seasoned. 8.5/10. The yams were solid I'd give those a 7.5/10 solid but not memorable. The Mac and cheese was a 4/10. It had an unpleasant aftertaste and the taste didn't sit right with me. I'm a big fan of Mac and cheese & will tolerate most but this one I didn't want to keep eating. The greens were nice and tender to my liking but lacked spice and flavor I'd give them a 6.5/10. The crab cakes were solid nothing I'd go out of my way for but a good typical crab cake 7.5/10. The cornbread was sweet which I enjoy at an 8.5/10. Overall this is a cool lowkey spot to grab dinner. It's affordable so if you're interested in going out for dinner but it being more on the chill side I'd stop here. Plastic utensils, cheap but good food and average service. It's got charm.

I have eaten here multiple times, mainly due to my casino points being accepted here. I have dined…read morein twice and taken out food once. The service is hit or miss. The first time here service was excellent but it was also very slow. For take out, the food was slow but the service taker was good. The last time I went dining in, it was a Friday and they were a little busy but my waitress had no interest in serving me so service was bad. The restaurant itself is adjacent to the casino on the non-smoking side but it is not too noisy in the restaurant itself. The restaurant is always clean and seems to be staffed pretty decently. The food usually comes out relatively fast. I ordered the Hampton roads cheese steak, the prime rib, and the salad, onion rings, and the collard greens and all the food I have eaten has been good. No issues there. The management staff is pretty visible during busy times but don't see them openly helping staff. I think the restaurant is decent for spending your casino points but if I was paying to eat out, I would definitely not spend my money to eat here. Too many places to eat elsewhere that are cheaper and have better, more consistent service.

I wanted to really like this place but it was just a miss for me. I only ordered the wings so I…read morecould try them out, but they were pre-breaded frozen wings. Half were super greasy so I couldn't eat them. I got the old bay and honey which were also super salty. The service was okay and the restaurant was clean so I am providing a higher rating.
