Another real one! This spot has met expectations from the environment's relaxed and inviting vibe to the delicious top notch meals prepped, prepared and presented like you're at your favorite auntie's house. The servers were not only welcoming and attentive they were very accommodating from where we wanted to sit to how we wanted to finalize our takeout. We dinned in and had so much food to take back home. Once we wrapped it all up it was like we didn't eat a thing. Talk about generous serving sizes. Food was amazing! They even have a Sunday brunch buffet serving meats and continued goodness with mimosas, cocktails, and more. While haven't had that yet I'll definitely be back to try and of course Yelp about it read more

I've wanted to try this place for years, but for a while they didn't have wings, so I never made it there. My spouse recently recommended it one night, and we finally decided to give it a try. At first, I thought the meal was a bit pricey, but I have to admit--it was definitely tasty and the portion size was solid. You get a good amount of food for what you pay for. I'll definitely be going back when I'm in the mood for some good fried chicken. read more

We stopped here after a bus trip. The food was EXCELLENT. The service was great and the portions were huge. It is totally not like me to not get pictures of the food. We got there late and all I could do was think about eating. The place is small but the hospitality was AMAZING. The owner Corinne was very nice and accommodating. If you have read my other reviews then you know I would not steer you wrong. Go check out the soul food and you will not be disappointed. Then come back and tell us all about how Amazing that food was. I'm already planning a trip back there with friends. Enjoy!! read more

Ordered through uber eats. I really wanted to like it, but just wasn't a fan. Portion sizes were huge though! I got pork ribs, collard greens, mac n cheese, and peach cobbler. Pork rib portion was huge but it wasn't super tender. Some parts were, but other parts felt dry and hard? Collard greens were average. Not too salty which I liked. Mac n cheese is where it lost me. It felt like they just dumped a bag of cheddar cheese in it. Just mouthful of cheese. Like globs of it. Not creamy. Just melted cheese. Never got the peach cobbler cause they sent me a birthday cake slice instead :-( read more

Corinne's Place - Worth the Toll and Then Some Food Quality & Taste Let's start here because this is the heart of the experience. The food was delicious. The kind of delicious that makes you pause mid-bite and smile. Everything tasted like home--like your mom or grandmom was in the kitchen, apron on, seasoning from the soul. We had the mac and cheese, potato salad, and cabbage, and everything delivered comfort, warmth, and love. And listen... Mom has already requested a return trip, which should tell you everything you need to know. Cuz my Momma don't play about her food. Value for the Price Let's face it soul food aint cheap. Plus, you're not just paying for food--you're paying for an experience that feeds your spirit as much as your stomach. Cleanliness The space was clean, well-kept, and inviting. Cozy without feeling cramped, and comfortable in a way that makes you want to sit, eat, and take it all in. Customer Service Warm. Friendly. Genuine. The staff made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. And the highlight? Meeting the owner, Ms. Corinne herself. She and my mom talked like they were old friends catching up, which honestly felt very on-brand for this place. Wait Time & Convenience No issues here. Parking is street parking--very similar to parking on a busy Philly street, so nothing shocking or stressful if you're used to city life. Once inside, everything flowed smoothly. We were seated quickly. Presentation & Atmosphere The atmosphere is intimate, cozy, and full of history. Pictures line the walls--Ms. Corinne, her family, and famous faces--which makes the space feel personal and lived-in. It's the kind of place where stories live in the walls. Red Flags or Warnings No real red flags. Just know it's an intimate setting--not huge--but honestly, anyone can come in and enjoy it comfortably. Overall: Corinne's Place is more than a restaurant--it's a memory, a feeling, and a reminder of what good food is supposed to do. It fills you up, warms you, and makes you want to come back. My stamp on this place is... "Mass appeal." Perfect for family, solo visits, out-of-town guests, or anyone craving a real taste of home. read more

Visiting from out of state and found this place on Yelp. We arrived 30 minutes before closing but the food and the service were as if we came at peak time. The food was AMAZING. The portions are enough to feed 2/3 people off 1 plate. The chicken wings are whole and fried to perfection. The yams and Mac and cheese definitely top tier. My friend got the turkey wings, yams, and cabbage/collards mix. If you're in Camden or any of the surrounding cities and want some soul food, Corrine's Place is where you want to be. True down south flavor but in the north. read more

To my mind, this is the only valid soul food place in Philly... and it's in Jersey. But I tried and tried and tried to find someplace in the city and nothing met the standards. So over the bridge I had to go. Corinne's is basically a "meat and two" type place. All of the mains that I've had have been great, except for the salmon croquettes, which were just okay. All of the sides are delicious. Standouts include the greens, yams, and mac. Cornbread used to be included, but now it's an add on (maybe $1.50). The cake slices are most definitely made from box mix, but they put that jello pudding in there, so they're moist and delicious. The peach cobbler is just alright. Closed on Mondays. And closed a little to early almost every day. Definitely call before you come if you're taking out -- the wait can be up to 45 minutes if they're busy. read more

Corinne's Place - Fried catfish, mac & cheese, candied yams (Fried Catfish) - Soul Food Near Me - Camden, New Jersey

I went to this black owned Soul Food restaurant on a lark with my cousin who wanted authentic southern home cooking. We went in and were invited to sit in a brightly lit restaurant with plenty of seating and a varied menu to select from. The service was prompt and genuinely enjoyable. The Owner provided individual attention to the patrons & even reminded everyone to taste the food prior to adding any additional seasonings. Everything was great. The portions were generous and it was well worth the cost which was very reasonable night add. The lemonade was so good as well. The only thing I did not care for was the potato salad only because I don't prefer sugar in my salad. The beef ribs, the fried whiting, the Mac & cheese, the sweet potatoes, the collard greens were all divine. I will definitely be back for the Sunday Buffet so I can try some of the other items offered. I highly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking great food at a more than reasonable cost. Try it for yourself and see if you don't love it. read more

We have been to Corinne's a number of times, but not in the last 3 years. Today, we were deeply disappointed with our rather expensive meals. First, everything was EXTREMELY salty; not well-seasoned, salty. The greens tasted like liquid smoke had been added until they tasted burnt. The macaroni and cheese was terrible; just macaroni and one very plain cheese, no variety of cheeses, no creaminess, and far too much black pepper. To think that all additional sides are priced at $7.50 each is absolutely offensive. The fried chicken and Cajun wings were also so salty that we can't eat them. And to add insult to injury, there is no longer a roll or cornbread provided with the meal. At over $25 a plate (give or take a dollar or two between entree prices), a piece of bread would have been a welcomed addition. The one bright star were the candied yams that were so delicious, my family loved them. We were going to purchase a slice of cake, but at over $8 per slice for such a small serving, that was out of the question. We used to love Corinne's but I'm sorry to say, we won't be back. read more

Everything. 5 starts with a plus. Of course, the food was the highlight but the customer service is not far behind. I ordered takeout so there was no opportunity to feel the ambiance. read more

While I don't think many dine in at Corinne's Place--looks like the dining room is used mostly for events, lured by its recent placement as #42/50 in Philadelphia Magazine and a recent James Beard award for regional food, we greatly enjoyed our dine-in experience. We decided to go with the Family Value Platter (3 meats, 3 sides) for $110.00 and after indulging, each couple came away with a to-go container of delicious soul food. The platter comes with two desserts (individually packaged) and we had a pitcher of sweet tea. Upon our server's recommendation, we tried the (1) fried chicken, (2) fried whiting, and (3) barbecue pork ribs along with (a) baked mac & cheese, (b) collard greens, and (c) rice & gravy. We also had a side of fried chicken wings, which turned out to be much like the fried chicken--not bad leftover, though--and some okra, corn & tomatoes, which had great flavor! The whiting is a delicate white fish and was terrific with a hit of Corinne's hot sauce (definitely ask for some if you like your food spicy!). The fried chicken was perfectly juicy and crispy. But the barbecue pork ribs won the meat game with fall-off-the bone, delicious BBQ sauced meat. My favorite sides were the baked mac & cheese and the collard greens--the latter were so tender! And the apple cobbler was sweet and cinnamon-y. I agree with Holly W., I did wish there was less plastic used, at least for those dining in, but I'm sure we'll reuse the platter for a potluck down the line! read more

I was unaware Corrines was undergoing renovations when we decided to go. We were ushered to a large tent , equipped with heat lamps , and seated . It was a cold windy day. The tent was warm initially but it got pretty cold out there pretty quickly. Now for the good part .... The food was excellent . The portions were generous . The server was very friendly. I ordered fried chicken, collard greens and sweet potatoes (they are not candied , it's a tender sweet potato) ... and a side of catfish. My entree was very good but the catfish was EXCEPTIONAL. My husband ordered fried whiting , Mac and cheese and okra . He enjoyed his meal as well. I will definitely be back ... after the renovations read more

My hubby and I dined here on a Sunday evening, which is open buffet day... I am not a fan of buffet style eating because I don't like the idea of random people picking over food that I may be eating BUT Corinne's buffet is staffed and only her team handles the food AND they keep it covered when they are not serving, also a huge plus is that the pans of food get refreshed periodically... The buffet is all you can eat. The offerings on the night that we came were: fried chicken, sliced ham, cabbage, string beans, baked Mac n cheese, candied yams, yellow rice, turkey legs or wings, curry chicken, beef ribs and something else (maybe ettouffè - I forgot to ask) - of this I tried the fried chicken, the curry chicken, Mac n cheese, cabbage, candies yams and string beans. I cleaned my plate the first round; the second round was too much for me to handle - lol. The staff here was awesome and very welcoming - I felt like I was visiting with my family. My hubby and I sat outdoors under a covered patio tent and listened to good music playing while we ate. I can't count how many times the staff came over and checked on us; the customer service was stellar!!! And the highlight - Corinne greeted us and checked in to make sure we were being taken care of. I regret that I did not get to take a pic with her because I was too busy stuffing my face and then dashed because a storm was looming. But when I come back - I'm going to take a pic with Corinne first - before I eat! ;-) The atmosphere is very laid back and the are very reasonable too. My hubby and I did push ourselves (hand to forehead) to eat dessert but it was just OK however, that wasn't what we came for - we came specifically for a good (home cooked tasting) southern style meal and that is exactly what we got! Looking forward to another visit :-) read more

Really wonderful soul food with gigantic portions. Came here after reading that it won James Beard award for regional food. Pleasant patio tent or eat inside. Staff very nice. BYOB. I had BBQ pork ribs, collards and Mac and cheese. All delicious. Mac and cheese authentic and very cheesy. Husband had fried chicken and okra/tomatoes/corn. My only beef is they use a LOT of plastic. Even eating in we were served with big plastic trays, utensils, and bottled water. That being said, we couldn't possibly eat it all and would have needed take home trays anyway. read more

I ordered the smothered Chicken collard greens and baked Mac and cheese. Everything was simply amazing. The chicken was seasoned to profection it was a bite of delight to the very last bite. The baked Mac and cheese took me back to when I was a little kid it was on the level of my grandmother Mac and cheese. The collard greens were made perfectly i enjoyed the meal and the portion size was amazing differently can't eat that I 1 setting. I got my meal from grubhub read more

So if anyone has read one of my reviews you know I normally reserve 5 stars for a second visit. However I'm not sure when I will be back in the area so I have to give flowers when they are due! I was working in the area and ordered through DoorDash. Listen the food arrived in a timely manner and it was piping hot! I had the turkey wings, Mac and cheese, collard greens and the peach cobbler. It was soooo much food! The turkey wings fell off the bone literally! The Mac and cheese was so creamy and cheesy and the collards had just the right amount of zest. I'll be honest I tried a bite of the cobbler but I was so full I couldn't enjoy it. And the portions! I have enough for another full meal! If you're in the area you gotta check them out! read more

Sundays, $18 for a buffet (that Corinne's Place staff serves; while being masked up -- might I add) is unbeatable! Had to get that out the way. I was very impressed with this spot. Parked, walked up and waited in a line briefly (on a Sunday afternoon - 12ish). The older gentleman that was standing outside -- was so kind and talked with me about the establishment. We were both masked, which I appreciated. Customers seemed to be welcomed in by the groups that were together. One at a time. Thumbs up! Apparently, I stopped by before the crowd. When I left -- the church crowd was lined up and ready to come in chile! Now to the food. Two and a half days worth of food! For my order, I tried the delicious: fried fish, fried chicken (drumstick), mac & cheese, greens, candied yams, potato salad, cornbread and lemon cake. Everything was great! I did not try the turkey wing yet but I'm sure it's good too. Both customer service and food was great quality! read more

Finally was able to taste the food at Corinne's Place and it was worth it!! Catfish & chickens wings were fried to perfection. Macaroni & cheese, potato salad & sweet potatoes were great. My only disappointment were the black eye peas...little seasoning and undercooked. We visited on a Sunday afternoon but did not get the buffet selections which was very popular!! A stream of regular customers assured us we made a good choice. Staff was EXTREMELY helpful and service was wonderful. read more

I was looking for some place to eat that's delicious and that's really going to satisfy those Ramadan cravings. I ordered a fried chicken wing platter with cabbage/greens and yams. My old man got beef ribs with Mac n cheese and rice and gravy. The ribs were fall off of the bone good. The sides were delectable and they give you great size portions. The only thing I regret is not asking for them to fry my wings harder. Other than that, the food was good. read more

The place is not in the best neighborhood, but it was ok did. It did not feel unsafe. The service was great, staff helped be carry catering order to my car in very convenient boxes. The food is so good ! Smothered Pork chops were tender and gravy was succulent The cabbage and greens combo was really good. Yams were yummy and fried catfish was crisp and flavorful. The mac and cheese was just ok. If you're looking for real soul food go !! read more

Went to get my order and the place was locked and gated and no one answered the phone. Do not order here

On August 27th, I placed a large order (approx $100) for pick up. Although the website allowed the order and charged my credit card, when I got there well within the time the site stated it was open, the place was closed and completed gated up. Not sure it was open at all. have since tried to reach them multiple times and no one answers. Still trying to get money back. Very disappointed and want to warn others read more

The food is excellent. I have been going there all of my adult life. I get the meatloaf platter or the fried chicken. I have tried other peoples food from there like the Cajun turkey wings and I have not had anything I didn't like. I mostly get take out but I have eaten inside once or Twix and it was a good experience. read more

This joint is a Camden staple, and for good reason. The food is amazing and they actually have a really great vegan platter (salisbury steak with choice of sides).

Just awful!!! Ordered the whiting and chicken wing platter, there was NO Flavor... zero seasoning!! Sides, Mac & Ch., collard greens, horrible, again no flavor. The sweet potato pie, very dark in appearance, tasted as if they poured the entire bottle of cinnamon into the batch. A complete waste of $70.... Oh, stay away from the dry ash cornbread!!! read more

Must have a different cook food is not as good as it used to be. I was very disappointed the last time I bought there

I have always loved Corinne's Place. We have been supporting this restaurant for over 25 Years. We go way back, our Partor Robert Hargrove took the official's there for lunch several times. That's how we was introduced. I'm very satisfied with the services. I love Corinne's Place. My family & friends go there as well. Services is good. read more

Tried for years to get here. I kept needing to be in NJ on a day they weren't open, or was in the area too late, etc. FINALLY, I planned a whole trip around making it to Corinne's for my birthday! In Feb 2022 with COVID still around, I had to do takeout. Grabbed it and headed to the Pennsauken Forman Mills parking lot 6min away. Lol, did shopping at FM too! Wow! This food was worth the planning! I'm just sad I didn't eat it sooner! Tried Donkey's years ago, and I wish I'd made it to Corinne's instead. Everything was just right for me. Each component outdid the next. I was STUFFED and couldn't finish, but I sooo wanted to because it was so good! I think the candied sweet potatoes are sweeter than the sweet potato dessert pie! My toddler was a fiend eating them. He was happy with the mac n cheese and chicken until he tasted those sweet potatoes, and then he turned into the Incredibles baby (when he's a monster) demanding more. Mac n cheese here is exactly how I like it; casserole-y not soupey, with globs of cheese that melted in the oven after it was grated into the dish, rather than a wiz-style dressing noodle bath. It was perfect! Chicken was fresh, good quality. Tender inside, crispy out. No weird spices or useless seasoning; just classic flavor you crave. Sweet potato pie and peach cobbler were good, but weakest compared to the main meal contenders. They had all the right tastes, and I'd probably appreciate them more if I hadn't stuffed myself with dinner. They are exactly the right soul food selections, but I had sweet potato overload by the end, so another option like berry crumble or key lime pie would've been a knockout flavor complement. All in all the best choice in Camden and surrounding areas for delicious food! read more

This place came highly recommended and did not disappoint. The service was great from the time you walked in. I opted for the buffet. The buffet was five sides and five meats. Everything was hot and fresh. The potatoes salad was a small portion but was really great five stars. The other portion sides were enough for two people. The collard greens were seasoned to profection as well. I highly recommend the fried chicken.We sat outside in the adjacent area to the restaurant. I would have to say it was comfortable and warm read more

​""Camden. A female-owned black business. You think about it," Bradley/Powers says proudly. "You hear so many negative things about Camden, but people have been coming here for 31 years from all around because I'm hands-on and I stick to the script. "Owner Corinne Bradley-Powers opened the restaurant 31 years ago and is known for her home cooked meals with generous portion sizes. Corinne Bradley/Powers' namesake restaurant has for three decades been one of the region's most enduring touchstones for home-style soul food. Corinnes Place is one of the best soul food restaurant in New Jersey. We are committed to serving the community. The atmosphere feels like you're eating at someone's home -- not at a restaurant." This is why I came. My mom lived here in the early 40s. Camden was much different back then. I was in the area doing ancestry research and am so glad I stopped here. Local relatives told me "Watch yourself in Camden". It'll be a definite culture shock for some folks. But go anyway. Park on the main drag and walk over. This was the BEST meal I had during my NJ - Philly visit. Please support Ms. Corrine. The soul food business is a hard go. She's made it for over 30 years and she's an asset to the community. Let's chip in to keep her able to serve her community. read more

7/10/22 First time here so was excited! Nice man asks me what if like and after telling him what I may like he was like alright I got you since I told him I wanted to try everything lol. I don't think they had wings but got the fish forget what kind think it was catfish which was slightly dry, chicken curry was ok, but the ribs are real good with the Cajun turkey wing, meatloaf, rice with gravy, Mac n cheese, collard greens, yams, oxtail all good! I was going to get a sandwich but turns out Sandwich just means the meat on its own I could be biased as former Boston market worker but I think theirs is better that here tho maybe I needed butter Spent $86 lol which was more than expected but I just kept adding on This is great comfort food that I'll have to come back for since I believe they rotate their weekend menu and forgot dessert! read more

I've been to Corrine's possibly 10 times in my life. Two times dining in. The rest was Sunday buffet takeout... The full menu is served everyday except Sunday. With the Sunday buffet, I received a round takeout container with 5-6 sides an 5-6 different meats, a roll, potato salad, and a piece of cake. All for $19.00. This meal is large enough to share with 3 people, or it will take two days for one person to finish it. Call ahead for takeout on Sunday. There's usually a line to get in. read more

We ordered the family platter to feed four of us and it last two full suppers plus leftovers. The food was so good and the service was amazing! Cooked fresh and presented with care, our meal consisted of fried catfish, BBQ pork ribs, BBQ chicken, green beans, mac & cheese, candied sweet potatoes, black-eyed peas, 4 mini corn bread loaves, and 2 quarters of sweet potato pie--our favorites were the catfish, mac & cheese, green beans, and black-eyed peas. The staff were friendly, accommodating, and very generous. It's no wonder Corinne's Place has been successful for so long! All the best to this restaurant and its employees. The dining room was closed for renovation but I peeked in and it looked very nice. read more
