I really love the food here, and that's what makes this review difficult to write. The food is…read moregenuinely delicious, and I would absolutely recommend trying the restaurant based on the quality of the food alone. However, I've personally decided not to return because of the restaurant's policies regarding reasonable modifications and additional charges. My issue isn't that I expect everything to be free or that I expect the kitchen to completely change every dish for me. I understand that some modifications may cost extra, and I am more than willing to pay for additional ingredients or extra food. For example, I asked if I could have truffle shrimp mac and cheese and was willing to pay extra for the shrimp and any additional ingredients, but they would not make the modification. Another example was a dish that included rice cakes and fish cakes. I only wanted the rice cakes, without the fish cakes, but I was still charged for the full dish. I understand that there may be preparation and pricing considerations, but it felt unreasonable to pay the same price when I was receiving less food--especially since I would assume the fish cakes are likely one of the more expensive components of the dish. The drink policy was also frustrating. They charge for additional soda refills, even though the soda comes from the fountain. I also ordered seltzer water, which comes from the same type of gun and doesn't require syrup, and was told that additional refills would also cost extra. I know some people may think this sounds like a small thing, but paying around $10 for three refills of soda or seltzer can add up quickly. I realize I may sound picky, and I understand that restaurants have their own policies and pricing structures. I'm not writing this review to discourage anyone from eating here because, again, I truly love the food. I'm writing it more for people like me who appreciate having some flexibility when making reasonable modifications and who may not expect to be charged for every refill. If you're happy ordering directly from the menu without modifications and don't mind paying for additional drink refills, you will probably have a great experience because the food really is excellent. Unfortunately, for me, dining out should also include being able to get what I want within reason, especially when I'm willing to pay for additional food or ingredients. Because of that, despite loving the food, I've decided not to return.

If you really want to hear about it, I have gone to this place on Metro called Pelicana Chicken a…read morefew times, its in Forest Hills, I live here, an original form what I'm told, I'm here for now. Anyway, the front of the joint has this dark green paint store facade with a big sign that shows beer specials, inviting me and you inside. Instagram calls it 'Good vibes, great food, and a s..', I don't even know what the rest of that sentence was supposed to be, but it's probably pure crap anyway. ​Inside, they've got this sleek-looking metallic bar with hanging yellow lights, there is always a couple of guys sitting around pretending they're having the greatest time in the world. It depresses the hell out of me. ​They also have a picture of the menu explaining what some might consider a user friendly way to pick your food and assorted preferenced. It goes somethinglike this. 'Step 1: Choose Your Chicken,Step 2: Choose Your Batter, Step 3: Choose Your Sauces. It's so damn complicated to me. They make you go through all these steps just to get a piece of fried bird. They've got all kinds of crispy wings, some are glossy, some are glazed and sticky, choose your drumsticks or wings. I really like their fried dumplings too and their little free side dishes of radish cubes and coleslaw. Come on your birthday, show identification and you'll get a Happy Birthday sign right on your free basket of chicken legs, or was it a free chicken? I cant recall exactly, but yiu cant leave with it and you cant give it to uour friend, I haveknownsome that tried and i think thats uncool. Imagine getting fried chicken for your birthday, from someone you dont know, it's enough to make you feel like someone out there cares.

This is the second soul food spot I've tried recently, and hands down, Soul City was the better of…read morethe two. I purposely ordered the same exact meal I had at the last place, fried whiting, mac & cheese, and sweet potatoes, so I could really compare, and every single thing was better here. The whiting was crispy, well seasoned and cooked perfectly. The mac & cheese was really good, and the sweet potatoes were on point too. Honestly, the food itself was a 10/10. No complaints there at all. What brought my overall rating down to a 9 was really just the atmosphere. The restaurant is very small, which is fine, but it wasn't the cleanest. There were boxes in the waiting area and quite a few flies flying around, which definitely took away from the experience. The person behind the counter was really nice and polite, so no complaints about the service either. Overall, Soul City gets a 9/10 from me. The food was definitely a 10/10 and much better than the first soul food spot I tried. I'd absolutely go back, I just wish the atmosphere matched how good the food was.

The food was ridiculously delicious, especially the mac and cheese and yams. The catfish was good…read morebut i took too long to eat it so it cooled down but i bet fresh, it would be amazing. The store seems like a mom and pop restaurant so the service was very personable. The ambience isn't the best it is not a sit in establishment and very small and cramped but they have an A from the food inspector, so it's definitely clean and up to code. Will definitely be coming back.
