Special shoutout to Krystal at the bar--she was doing EVERYTHING. Bartending and serving tables at the same time, and still made sure everyone was taken care of. You can tell she really works hard and keeps the place running smooth. The food... definitely hit the spot. I had the fried chicken with cabbage and also tried the fried fish with fries. Everything was seasoned well, fresh, and came out hot. That fried chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy inside, just how it's supposed to be. The cabbage had great flavor too--not bland at all. The vibe is chill.. I'll definitely be back and would recommend it if you're in Queens and craving some comfort food

We placed various orders. The food was good. I rate it a 4. The server we had was a little dry, rate her a 2.5. She wasnt friendly or engaging, she was very much hurry up and buy! I get it, its almost closing time, but a smile goes a long way. The 5 stars is for the owner! When I tell you he is what a small business thrives off of, he should teach many others. He sat down, he engaged, and accommodated us and my late guests. His energy is everything! 10/10 recommend when in NY!!!

The food was flavorful and well-prepared, although some dishes leaned a bit salty for my taste. I ordered the sautéed shrimp and grits. The shrimp were delicious, but I wish the dish came with a larger portion of grits. The gravy was very generous and ended up making the dish a bit soupy, so a little more grits would have helped balance the dish. Other highlights from our table included the fried shrimp and waffles, yams, and mac and cheese, all of which were excellent. Another guest in my party ordered the BBQ salmon and thoroughly enjoyed it as well. The ambiance is casual, comfortable, and inviting, making it a great spot for either a local brunch or a relaxed dinner. The service was attentive and pleasant throughout our visit. We were even greeted by the owner upon arrival, and his friendliness and hospitality immediately made us feel welcome and set a positive tone for the entire experience. Overall, this is a solid neighborhood restaurant with good food, a welcoming atmosphere, and excellent customer service. I'd definitely return to try more items from the menu.

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 fish was so dry that it was in edible. When I arrived home, I gave some to my wife and she too…read moreagreed that it was an edible. I had asked for regular fried fish, not hard fried. I made a mistake of ordering all fish it was 9 to 10 pieces and eight of them were inedible and I wound up throwing them away and the odds of me going here again are very very unlikely. Very sad. I wanted to like this place so much like I used to in the past but now I just wasted my money apparently it depends on which cook is there. The young one makes the fish too hard. The older person makes the fish normally so if I do go here again, I'll make sure if the cook that I want, but I'm certainly you're not gonna waste my money again. My wife and I decided that if I were to try it again, get a sandwich and see how it is. Also the cashier could be a little friendlier.

We sat and was serviced downstairs versus being upstairs. Downstairs had a more chill vibe while upstairs was more vibrant and lively The place had a great vibe, mural on the walls up to the stairs, a flower wall with a swing. Great aesthetics for pictures. Between the individuals in our party, we ordered calamari, thai curry mussels, red red snapper with the sweet, spicy sauce and without, lamb chops and six boss. The lamb chops were a tad overcooked, but the rest of the food was really good Our drinks were nice. Service was a tad slow, but good experience overall.

The mango jerk wings were good but the oxtail boa buns were a big no. The buns were dry and there was barely any oxtail in it--The bottom was filled with coleslaw to fluff it up.

The vibe is still very lively. Music was pumping, DJ played a great mix. They have hookahs available. The service was pretty good despite the crowd. Kyra was our waitress and she's very knowledgeable about menu items and made some good suggestions that we enjoyed! Drinks: we had the whiskey barrel, blueberry mojito, and passion fruit Long Island. If you like sweet cocktails then the blueberry mojito is for you. It was more sweet than alcoholic, tastes like juice. The passion fruit Long Island was much better. It had a good balance of flavor and alcohol. My friend enjoyed her whiskey barrel. Food: happy to see the portions haven't changed much and still match the price points! We started with the mango habanero wings and sweet chili shrimp: both were great. For entree I had the whole lobster medley which came with shrimp, mussels, scallops, and linguine. It came out hot and fresh and the sauce that's on it is to die for! Yum! The oxtail mac and cheese was really good too. The oxtail was tender and flavorful and the mac and cheese was very creamy/cheesy! Didn't try my friend's stuffed salmon (stuffed with crab meat) and shrimp but she ate every bit of it so that tells me all I need to know.

I felt safe walking inside of The Smokehouse today, no unofficial doorman. The second thing, this used to be a few seats for dine-in, but I can understand why it's strictly in and out. They are very busy, I would say, too busy to deal with cleaning the dining area. That is a good thing for business. I didn't see what I wanted and the young lady, ( I appreciate her so much) was kind and sweet. She informed me of the type fish they serve. I got Whiting, Mac n Cheese, and Greens. The Food* The greens were very tasty, properly seasoned and proportioned well. The Mac n Cheese is always compared to moms. Though the Mac n Cheese didn't hold together like I'm used to eating it. I did find it quite D'licious. What ever they are doing? They, are doing! I had the fried whiting, it had a bit of spicy kick. Very tasty, moist, not over fried or dry. The cornbread was silky smooth and held together on its own. I've never had cornbread that was like butter yet held together and didn't break apart, even when you bite it. I got three pieces, of course for an extra cost and it was so worth the purchase. To sum it up, this is the exact kind of meal, taste included, mind you, that I'm used to eating down south. The smoke house has duplicated a fine Southern dish. Just thinking, if they decided to offer a full sit down experience, like severs, a hosts or hostess to greet diners, table service, what a wonderful world this would be. Pro-Tip: Make sure you get the peppers and onions on top of the whiting. You can thank me later. Inspire more, Yelp more!
