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.

Between us we had fried chicken, meatloaf, green beans, Mac & cheese, corn bread, and collard greens. We even had Kool-aid!. This was the best fried chicken wings. Well seasoned and super crispy and very meaty. The greens were fresh and not over-cooked... certainly not canned like a previous post claimed. Everything was great. The only detractor was the music was really loud, but we will absolutely be frequent customers!! The owner even came out to personally greet us...a nice touch. You must try this place.

Everything came out fresh, piping hot, and full of flavor. The food was definitely the highlight, and I would absolutely come back for it. I also ordered a cocktail, which was just okay. The customer service was friendly and attentive. The only downside was the seating. We tried multiple tables because each one was pretty wobbly, and even after moving, the other tables we tried had the same issue. The ambiance also wasn't really my style, but that comes down to personal preference. Overall, the delicious food and good service made it a worthwhile visit.

Came in on a Tuesday around 6 PM, and it wasn't very busy…read more I ordered the ribs with collard greens, mac and cheese, and cornbread. The ribs were...just okay, which is surprising because I've honestly never had ribs that were just okay. They brushed barbecue sauce on top, but the underside of the ribs was pretty dry. It felt a little stingy with the sauce. The collard greens weren't bad, but they were saltier than I prefer. I also would have loved a little vinegar, though I know that's a matter of personal taste. The mac and cheese looked amazing when it came out, but unfortunately it didn't live up to the appearance. It was underseasoned and lacked the rich, savory flavor I was expecting. This is a soul food restaurant, so I expected a mac and cheese that was bold, cheesy, and full of flavor. Instead, it tasted very mild--almost like it was seasoned for kids. The cornbread was also a miss for me. I'm honestly not sure what all the other reviews are raving about. It didn't really taste like traditional cornbread, but it also didn't have the sweet, cake-like texture that some restaurants go for. It kind of landed somewhere in between, and it just didn't work for me. I wouldn't order it again. Our server, Kiya, was friendly but only moderately attentive. One of my biggest dining pet peeves happened at the end of the meal: she asked if we wanted to-go boxes, brought them out, and then disappeared without bringing the check. If guests are asking for boxes, that's usually a pretty good sign they're ready to leave. Reading the room goes a long way. Overall, nothing was terrible, but nothing really stood out either. It was just a pretty average experience. I left feeling underwhelmed, especially given the reputation and the expectations that come with a soul food restaurant. I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to come back.

I ordered the collard greens, macaroni and cheese, and three fried pork chops, and every bite was absolutely delicious. I didn't eat inside it was a to go order. The collard greens were seasoned to perfection. The mac and cheese was creamy, cheesy, and baked to a golden perfection--comfort food at its finest. And those fried pork chops? Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. They were fried just right, without being greasy. The portions were generous, and the food tasted homemade, like it was crafted with love and attention to detail. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Ellen's Homestyle & BBQ LLC is now my go-to spot for real homestyle soul food cooking. Highly recommend it for anyone craving a soul food feast!

I also tried their homemade drinks: the lemonade and the fruit punch. I did have to dilute them with some water because whoever mixed that batch did NOT hold back on the sugar .

There's no dine-in seating here -- it's strictly order and pickup -- but the service was fast and friendly. This was a great spot to stumble across, and if I'm back in the area, I'll definitely return. Worth checking out if you're craving some seafood.

The meatloaf was a decent portion, but very bland. The ketchup helped it somewhat. The Mac and cheese was bland as well but it was cheesy, so I was ok with that. The texture and everything was fine. I wouldn't go out of my way to have this again, but if I'm in the area and wanted something , maybe. A little seasoning would probably change the experience!
