    Small place with a few tables. We found it on instagram. Nice little vibe. Good music playing in the background as you wait. Black owned I wanted the stuffed turkey leg but they didn't have any dirty rice. I will try to come back another time and see if they have it. So I ended up getting the turkey wings with gravy and rice and cabbage as my two sides. I asked the woman at the register if they had cans, bottles or fountain sodas. She told me fountain then when they brought our drinks out they gave us cans. That was annoying because I asked because I didn't want to pay $4 for a can of coke. The food was cool. If you don't live in Portsmouth it wasn't good enough to drive over here just to get it. The wait was really long. I think they're pretty new so hopefully over time that gets better. We ordered at 1:14, and got our food at 1:50pm My husband got the spicy old bay wings and fries, he said they were good, but between the two was a lot of sodium. The turkey wings were tender, they literally slid off the bone. They tasted like any smoked turkey. Nothing special. The gravy was okay. You could tell it was made with flour and oil and not from oil meat was cooked in. There was no flavor to it. Just gravy. The cabbage was okay. Just cabbage nothing special. I'm gonna come back to taste the stuffed turkey leg, but living in Virginia Beach I doubt we will come back other than that.

    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.

    Food: Okay for a late-night option if choices are limited…read more Service: About what you'd expect for this type of spot. Ambiance: Wouldn't choose to dine in if other options were available.

    Before I begin let me start off by saying that this review is based solely on my personal…read moreexperience and my personal experiences alone, so with that being said let's begin!. I have been to other locations in the past but I decided to give this one a try. I would say they are all the same with a few exceptions. This particular location is in another city and the food and customer service are different. I ordered a turkey burger combo which consisted of a turkey burger in a thick bun along with a drink and french fries. The turkey burger was pretty good and my fries were hot, the problem was done of my fries were not completely done, some were undercooked. The customer service from the employee was short and quite rude!.I was asking questions when I was ordering and he stop answering my questions and immediately pointed to the screen which I thought was rude!. Another concern I forgot to mention, the bathroom was quite dirty and the women's bathroom was out of order for whatever reason! I walked in and propped the door open with my feet long enough for me to wash my hands before I ate!. Would I return to this particular location?. Probably not!.
