I really should've checked Yelp prior to ordering via GrubHub.... Placed an order for a large whiting meal, large tilapia meal & 2 sides of cornbread. After 30 mins of placing my order I get a phone call. The employee stated "they don't have Tilapia and don't know why it's on the menu". So I replaced the Tilapia with whiting and requested a refund for the difference. Few minutes later I get another call, the manager isn't there to issue the refund so instead they'll send a large whiting order.... FINE. Another call shortly after, they don't have cornbread. Now for this I need a refund because there's no substitute or upgrading. The employee agrees but shortly there after calls me back stating the owner said I have to contact GrubHub directly for the refund. At that point I really should've canceled the order... Food arrives packaged well and that's the only positive for this review. The whiting was nauseating.... fried only on one side and not edible. Yams were tangy, Mac n cheese over cooked & salty, white rice hard with dry black eyed peas. Both plates were thrown in the garbage. Who's version of Soul Food was this suppose to be??? YUCK!!!! read more

Great portions but stay away from the BBQ Chicken and Curry Chicken. They use that BBQ sauce straight from the bottle no added seasonings like a 7 yr old could've made it. I stopped buying cheap BBQ sauce like the Kraft BBQ sauce that they probably used years ago because you can taste all the sugar, corn syrup and all the other bull****. The Curry Chicken literally tasted like it was mixed with dirt and leaves off the ground with a little sand in it because I could feel the particles grinding against my teeth. Good portions though! read more

Bronx Soulfood Restaurant - Curry Chicken Dinner - Soul Food Near Me - Bronx, New York

When I first started ordering from here the food was good . I liked the curry goat . The Mac & cheese has decline significantly . I tried the potato salad today .. I'm not a fan. I also tried the oxtail today. They are extremely salty and that's pretty much it . I probably won't order again. My meal was 22 dollars . I could have kept my 22 dollar & did without the high blood pressure . read more

I ordered through Uber eats for lunch and I liked the food somewhat. The honeybbq wings were kinda cold and I didn't really like them. I should have just played it safe and went with plain wings. I also ordered the fried fish/fried shrimp with Frenchfries. The fried fish I def. didn't like and was way too soggy. Their fried shrimp was soooo good! read more

Don't order here after 8pm you'll never get your food. Literally just wont deliver it and say they did.

So I was craving soul food (which I usually have access to in bk), and wanted to try one in the Bronx area. My boyfriend said that a few people recommended it to him and one stated the Mac and cheese was good. So here's my summed up review per category: Customer Service: 5 [1 I overheard someone complain about the Mac and Cheese via phone, and the receptionist handled it well by offering her to come back and she will fix/adjust what the customer was unsatisfied with] Location: 5 [maybe two blocks away from Gunhill 5train station] VERY SMALL...PLEASE DO NOT EXPECT TO DINE HERE! Food (large whitening fish and shrimp with Mac and Cheese and Collard Greens): 3 . . The portion size was great for a large. However, you get 5 shrimps and 3 pieces of whitening filet. I am a short distant from the restaurant, and by the time I arrived home, the food was warm-cold. The shrimp was "good", some pieces were overcooked. As for the fish? It LACKED in flavor, but with the hot sauce and tauter sauce, I was able to deal with it. The best thing I had was the collard greens (it was flavorful and pretty soft), they were definitely NOT oily! The worst thing was the Mac and Cheese (unfortunately). I wanted to like it sooooooooo bad, but I could NOT get jiggy with it. A previous reviewer mentioned that it was "kind of sweet", and I have to agree 1000%. It gave me Baked Kraft Mac and Cheese instead of "SOUTHERN SOUL MAC AND CHEESE". Now... would I eat here again?! If I'm just ordering shrimp and collard greens then yes! Maybe I would try the yams , but the Mac and Cheese? Nah! read more

Bronx Soulfood Restaurant - Large Fish and Shrimp Combo, Collar Greens, and Turkey Neck, Mac and Cheese - Soul Food Near Me - Bronx, New York

Taste: 3 Environment: 2 Customer Service: 3 Set Up: 2 So this place is along Gun Hill Road so it is easy to get to by public transportation. This place is spoken so well about on TV so I wanted to try it for myself. When I first walked in this place has something I hate with most businesses, a tablet with no credit card machines that work. One word is Square. If you don't have cash you go next door to the bodega and spend $1.75 to pull cash out or Chase bank up the block. Second thing I hate is when you list food that isn't there. I wanted catfish and they don't have it only whiting, so I settled for just BBQ chicken. So I got BBQ Chicken, Mac & Cheese and Black-eyed Peas. Black-eyed Peas had no type of flavor. Mac & Cheese taste decent, it is sweet but needs some black pepper. The Chicken was also decent not the best but ok. The price was reasonable but honestly it just wasn't appealing, the other sides look like they was seasoned less or store bought out of a can. Revise your menu to be more appealing, add seasoning, repair the credit card machine, and also more friendly staff. Soul food is more than food, its love and heart and enjoyment. This is like southern food nothing more. read more

The only good thing I was the fast delivery. I ordered the large whiting dinner. The fish was stale and "fishy", the Mac and cheese tasted like something in it was spoiled and the "candied" yams tasted like a boiled sweet potato mashed up. I also ordered wings which was the only hot food I received. They were pretty good. Not ordering again. read more

The timing was fast because I ordered from door dash. The food itself was a 1.5/10 (and I'm just being nice about it because I could've left it as a 0). The food didn't even have a good smell to it. They only gave me 2/5 items I PAID for. Of course I issued a refund (so I ate free). In all my life I've never ever hated food (and I'm a big girl) but it was terrible. Yams tasted sour and you can taste it was can made because it tasted like the metal of the can. The bbq chicken was the only thing good. I ain't even want to post a photo because it look good on camera but taste horrific. I do not recommend. Soul food and the Bronx should not mix. read more

I ordered food from here and they sent me someone else's order after i waited over an hour so disappointing

Today is Mother's Day and my grandma wanted food from here. I waited to 12pm to go to the door because that's what the hours are. A young African American man also walked up to the door and knocked, an old man open the door, the both seen me there waiting so I'm think great it's open, no they lock the door right in my face as I was walking right behind the young man. How RUDE was that instead of them acknowledge me or telling me they would open in 5 or 10 mins or give them a few minutes. They said nothing. That's insane they are treating customers like this. What kind of people who work at a business like such are treating people like this. I can't believe this just happen to me. THIS WAS SO DISRESPECTFUL AND DISGUSTING. read more

I tried my friends food...Food is still horrible. THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT SOUL FOOD. Don't waste your money unless you're looking for nursing home FLAVORLESS low quality food. read more

I give them a three out of five. The yams that wasn't pictured was really good. the fried whiting I didn't get fresh and it did not have any flavor. The collar greens was OK. won't go back, but I'd like to experience. read more

Bronx Soulfood Restaurant - Fried whiteing, collard greens and macaroni and cheese - Soul Food Near Me - Bronx, New York

This is my first time ordering from here via Postmates. I know the reviews for this place are suspect but I wanted to support a local minority owned business. I ordered the chicken & waffles and whiting & fries with a side of mac & cheese, candied yams & corn bread. The total was $30. Now I wish I could say this turned out to be a great experience but it was quite the contrary. The chicken was over cooked, and the red velvet waffles were a pile of red mush literally, they had no distinguishable waffle shape, it just looked a pile of smooshed under cooked cake batter. I didn't bother to taste the chicken so I can't comment on it, but I most definitely can on the whiting. Now I must say they did provide 3 generous pieces of fried whiting on a bed of fries (the frozen kind not fresh cut fries) however, the seasoning or coating on the fish was tasteless, and they gave me 2 small packets of tartar sauce to salvage them, which of course didnt work. The mac and cheese tasted like it was made of Kraft American cheese & it was too salty. The yams were mushy, watery and too sweet. The only one thing I thought was palatable was the corn bread, which is $1.50 and the size of a baby's palm minus the fingers. I must say I assumed that local restaurants that have survived the COVID19 shut down were probably upping their game to get their customers back in but this place hands down had to be one of the worst quality take out experiences I've ever had. It's as if the person who prepared this order has just given up on serving good food. Sad to say but the food here has earned its 1 star, and this will be the last time I order from this place unless they undergo an epic transformation! Happy Yelping & Stay Safe & Healthy! read more

Food is always good, service with a smile and pleasing prices. It may take some time to be served because they're always busy due to online ordering. It's worth the few minutes wait. I just wish they accepted debit/credit for walk ins. They only accept credit/debit when ordering from apps. read more

This is not Soulfood. this is shameful. Tried to place an order on the phone I was told no and there was barely a wait once we came in I think they had to catch the catfish because that how long it took to prepare it. Now, the Mac and cheese? Who did this? Dry burnt and cheeseless.Blackeye peas hard, yams are ok, cabbage, NO. BBQ chicken is BBQish, this is West Indian potato salad not southern potato salad! The best thing about the food was the bowls it came in!!! You should be paying us to eat it!!!! And Furthermore you should be ashamed for tying to pass this off as SOUTHERN CUISINE! Are you kidding me? Don't even give this food away for free to the essential workers! Never again, Channel 12 needs to pull that commercial because it's BOGUS!!!! read more

Bronx Soulfood Restaurant - Soul Food Near Me - Bronx, New York

I ordered here for the first time through UberEats I was excited to see what Bronx soul food had to offer considering my family is from the south.. I ordered fried turkey wings Mac and cheese and yams. I got what looke likes bbq turkey wings mold Mac and cheese and the yams were not only smushed under the turkey wings but was swimming in (I don't know if it was ) oil ,juice,..this shit is just gross. I have been trying to support minority and small businesses especially during these times. But horrible meals like these ruin not only my experience with that restaurant but with food in general! Save your coins folks , cook at home! read more

So it satisfied my sweet tooth with the amazing candy yams. MAC N CHEESE is TRASH but the lukewarm fried chicken wasn't bad and it also wasn't overly greasy.

I've eaten here a few years ago , and the food was absolutely amazing! I visited to get a vegetable plate for myself because I was about to have surgery and wanted to eat lite, well the Owner himself prepared my plate, the yams were very tasty with the right amount of sweetness; the rice & peas were cooked to perfection and the Macaroni& Cheese was sooo cheesy & delicious. My niece enjoyed her barbecue chicken leg and Macaroni & Cheese also! I would gladly recommend Bronx Soulfood Restaurant! Even the customer service was professional, polite and extremely helpful. Thank you for serving quality food in my neighborhood! I definitely appreciate you and will return soon! BBQ Chicken read more

I would definitely rate this negative 5 stars if i could. They really sent me this burned ass nasty ass taste like they left it sitting out overnight and opened the restaurant the next morning and re-fried it ass chicken. The cheese in the macaroni taste like it came from dollar tree. The collard greens were bland. Whoever made this has no soul and surely the owner is trying to save money by cutting back on quality cheese, seasoning, and serving you reheated burnt food!!!!!! read more

First, the menu on their website only lists a small number of the dishes they provide. Once inside, the menu is much more extensive. The 'restaurant' is very,very small. And they did nothing to prevent six or seven people from crowding inside waiting for their food (no social distancing). And several of those people were either not wearing masks or only covered their mouths. Nearly everyone seemed to have pre-ordered. It took almost 10 minutes for someone to take my order. She said it would be 20 minutes. It took almost 45 minutes. They simply are not able to handle the quantity of orders. Also, they were unable to accept credit cards. Clearly this is ongoing because they have printed signs prominently displayed saying Cash Only. I was hoping the quality of the food would make up for the unhealthy atmosphere and the long wait. It didn't. The food was just OK. Unless you are very local (we aren't), repeat customers is not what they strive for. read more

Heard the ad on the radio stating that their Fried Chicken was better than the Colonel's, so being that I loved fried chicken I wanted to go to try it out. Order:- Fried chicken ( 2 pcs), mac & cheese, yams, & cornbread. Taste:- Fried chicken - seasoned was the only plus. Breast was DRY!!!. Thigh = DRY. How do you make the thigh as dry as the breast. Gave up on trying to eat breast and then couldn't do the thigh either. Yams:- no candied there. SMH tasted more like yams with a little spice and a sprinkle of sugar and had some tartness. Yams were not tender no cinnamon, nope, nada. Mac & Cheese:- had a sweet undertone. took 2 forkful and it was a wrap. wasn't cheesy no soul was evident in this at all. Cornbread:- only semi salvable part of the meal but wasn't all that. Ate because I was hungry and everything else was a no. I did appreciate the packaging as they ensured that my chicken was not on top of my yams. read more
